Five years after the pandemic began, interest in the anti-parasitic drug is rising again as right-wing influencers promote it — and spread misinformation about it.
It’s because they’re the kind of stupid that follows in-group beliefs more than verifiable reality. We’re all susceptible to overly weighing what our in-group says, but some people take it to dangerous levels.
And also there are grifters taking advantage of them.
That’s one reason these giant protest demonstrations are so important. These people are cowards at their core, and they want to be on the strongest side, so seeing millions of people demonstrating sends the message that anti-MAGA forces arent just some anti-American media jerks, there are millions of real people on their side. Many will see that, and conclude that they should get on the side with the numbers.
Thats how HitlerPig built his following in the first place. The big crowds at his early rallies worked the same way to attract malleable followers to his side. Democrats can do the same thing with demonstrations that attract much larger crowds than his rallies.
This is an interesting thought. It’s worrisome if they’d look like allies but don’t have any actual convictions, but I guess those people will always be with us.
My formerly happy in-group had a former army medic and current RN that fully supported all the crazy Republican COVID bullshit, while actively seeing those “treatments” do absolutely nothing at her job every fucking day.
Not all doctors and nurses are smart just because they graduated. Like with any job that requires a lot of memorization, some people memorize well but can’t actually problem solve in the real world beyond it. You’d think a former Army Medic and Trauma RN wouldn’t fall for that shit, yet there she is to this day still.
I can never understand how truly intelligent people buy into imaginary concepts.
The other day there was a Jeopardy champ who had won 4 games. One more win, and he would qualify for the Tournament of Champions, and come back to play again, where even the losing prize money was significant.
In his personal anecdote piece, he thanked his lord and savior Jesus Christ, who has done so much for him, THEN he thanked his family. Here’s a guy who had demonstrated how intelligent he was by tearing through 4 Jeopardy wins, and yet he was putting an imaginary ancient religious construct ahead of his family.
He went on to lose the 5th game, and his chance at the Tournament. The deer-in-the-headlights look at the end, as he realized that his lord and savior had forsaken him in his hour of need, was priceless.
My experience is that nurses are not particularly intelligent or even that well-educated. Which isn’t to say that they are less intelligent or less educated than the average person–moreso that they are very much the average person.
from what ive gathered, nurses in many areas have a huge shortage, so they waive some certain programs for them to get an RN license asap. so many fall through the cracks, especially in rural and red areas. i think more blue areas have more stringent rules. also the smart ones are doing travelling nursing anyways.
Doctors, is probably harder to tell, probably dont want a passing grade average doctor, over one that top grades and successful clinical experience, or research(if they done that).
additionally ones from elitist colleges, like harvard, stanford, yale? etc, produce elitist doctors, and many of them have that attitude, i have heard some employers wont hire some of these graduates either. i remember an article where someone complained about a yale.harvard doctor on yelp about his shady pratices, and he decided to sue the reviewer. some doctors are extremely jaded to thier patients, they ignore thier concerns.

All we need is their votes, and barring that, their apathy, so they wont interfere when it kicks off.
I’m happy my in-group has an actual doctor. I love being able to ask her random questions and verifying things I’ve heard.

Obligatory old joke:
Q: What do you call the student who graduated last in their class at med school?
A: “doctor”

Doctors are very hit or miss.
