Now that Musk owns Twitter

[Dog 2.0]

Already been explained to you. It's a medicine for livestock that some quack doctors have given to humans so it is not a human medicine. It's just like if I had a dog medicine and gave it to you that would be you taking a medicine that is for dogs. Would not make it a human medicine it was still be a dog medicine

Sure looks like a human medication.

"Ivermectin is an anti-parasite medication used to treat parasitic diseases. It is FDA approved for use in humans to treat a variety of parasitic infections including parasitic worms, hookworm and whipworm. Ivermectin may also be used as an effective treatment for a wide range of other conditions and as a treatment of onchocerciasis, intestinal strongyloidiasis and onchocerciasis or river blindness. The antiviral activity of Ivermectin has been shown against a wide range of RNA and DNA viruses, for example, dengue, Zika, yellow fever, and others.

Ivermectin is currently being investigated in a clinical trial as a potential COVID-19 treatment for the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 Virus, which is the virus that causes COVID-19. The FDA has not approved ivermectin for use in treating or preventing COVID-19 infection in humans. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommend not to use ivermectin in patients with COVID-19 to reduce viral replication, except in clinical trials."

Weird. Because what it is is a livestock medicine that is very rarely prescribed to humans.

Using Dog's logic, UV light is a "human medication".

I wouldn't call it a medicine but UV light does have some treatment applications.

Correct; because humans are rarely afflicted with parasitic worms any more.

@Dog 2.0 please find doctors who are willing to treat you the way you tell them to.

@Pertinacious Tom I don’t know that I trust the GDIs ratings because they haven’t yet listed FOX as low fact reporting based on testimony proving they knowingly lied to consumers to increase their profits.

I’m also not sure of their methodology which declares they fail to reveal authorship of content. Unless this is another way of complaining about deficient comment moderation and anonymous comments, it doesn’t appear to be borne out.

Is ivermectin a human medicine or not?

I've worked in many areas where filariasis is endemic, worms and other parasites common. I've lost count of the hydroceles I've operated, I've prescribed and have had to take DEC and albendazole as prophylaxis. First line of drugs was never ivermectin though it was given to my pets.
I know in Africa for some conditions it may be used as first line cause it's effective and cheap but people buying up veterinary formulations to self medicate for Covid, that was crazy. Still is. In the US people were literally taking horse medicine and maybe still are.
You guys have turned medicine political and politics into religion with dogma to prove loyalty and fight over.

(PS: We had a load of ivermectin stored up in the pharmacy just in case in the early days, I could have made bank prescribing it)

That's a symptom. The cause is a well-planned, decades-long battle to undermine secular education and scientific progress. It's being executed by a coalition of highly profitable churches and billionaires who learned long ago that removing regulations means windfall profits - both of these bad actors built an army out of the uneducated, gullible, and grieved to accomplish their goals.

[Grrr...]

Oh, how bout this one. Musk the moron tweets nastiness about someone then only later realizes he is going to have to pay a shitload of money for going after and firing a guy in a wheelchair with muscular dystrophy who had an employment contract, so he tries to walk it back.

Elon Musk apologises to sacked Twitter worker over online row

The firm's boss says sorry to fired employee Halli Thorleifsson and appears to offer him his job back.

Yet dog trusts him. Because reasons.

I was asking about these ratings:

They're "mixed" for factual reporting at MSNBC, a couple of grades below Reason.
Same as HuffPost, by the way.
But some people don't have a problem with mixing fact and fiction when there are sources available rated "high" for factual reporting. Go figure.
NY Post: mixed.
Reason: high, but they do note right wing positions like ending the stupid drug war.
Real Clear Politics: mostly factual
Daily Wire: mixed
The Blaze: mixed
One America News: low
The Federalist: mixed
Newsmax: low
American Spectator: mixed
American Conservative: mostly factual
So of all the "dangerous" news sources, only one is rated "high" for factual reporting. I would not take issue with any of those ratings, by the way.
What's your opinion of those ratings?

FTC Helping To Protect Twitter Customers

– WASHINGTON—The Federal Trade Commission has demanded Twitter Inc. turn over internal communications related to owner Elon Musk, as well as detailed information about layoffs—citing concerns that staff reductions could compromise the company’s ability to protect users, documents viewed by the Wall Street Journal show.

In 12 letters sent to Twitter and its lawyers since Mr. Musk’s Oct. 27 takeover, the FTC also asked the company to “identify all journalists” granted access to company records and to provide information about the launch of the revamped Twitter Blue subscription service, the documents show.

“We are concerned these staff reductions impact Twitter’s ability to protect consumers’ information,” an FTC official wrote to Twitter’s lawyers on Nov. 10 following an initial wave of layoffs, according to a copy of the letter viewed by the Journal.

[…] “Protecting consumers’ privacy is exactly what the FTC is supposed to do,” said FTC spokesman Douglas Farrar. He said the agency is “conducting a rigorous investigation into Twitter’s compliance with a consent order that came into effect long before Mr. Musk purchased the company.”
...

The request to identify all journalists is pretty creepy and doesn't make me feel any safer than the government lying to hide stingrays.

Twitter Hearing Devolves Into 6-Way Shouting Match as Democrats Demand Matt Taibbi Expose Elon Musk as ‘Direct Source’

Story by Caleb Howe • 1h ago

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/poli...d?cvid=bfa4bf17998e462caacfd5b42ac9eda0&ei=45

The House Judiciary subcommittee hearing on Twitter devolved into a nasty, 6-way shouting match when Texas Democrat and committee member Rep. Sylvia Garcia insisted that journalist Matt Taibbi out Elon Musk as the reporter’s original “direct source.”

It started when Garcia asked, “what was the first time that Mr. Musk approach you about writing the Twitter Files?”

As Taibbi began to answer, Garcia added, “I just need a date, sir.”

“But I can’t give it to you, unfortunately,” Taibbi said, “because this is a question of sourcing and I don’t give up, I’m a journalist. I don’t reveal my sources.”

The two debated whether it was a question of “chronology’ or “sourcing,” leading to Garcia saying, “So you’re not going to tell us when Musk first approached you?”

“Again, Congresswoman, you’re asking me to re– You’re asking a journalist to reveal a source–,” Taibbi began answering again.

“So then you consider Mr. Musk to be the direct source of all of this,” Garcia interrupted to say.

“No, now you’re – you’re trying to get me to say that he is the source,” said Taibbi.

“Well either he is or he isn’t,” said Garcia. She then dubiously asserted that by not stating Elon Musk is the source Taibbi was admitting Elon Musk was the source, and that argument began in earnest.
