A reasonable, responsible government that actually cared about people's lives would not be screaming "HORSE DEWORMER, HORSE DEWORMER!"
A reasonable, responsible government would be saying exactly this:
"Even though ivermectin has not been approved by the FDA to treat covid-19, there is still some evidence to suggest it can help reduce the severity and duration of illness. If you attempt to use Ivermectin formulated for large farm animals, make sure to reduce the dosage accordingly to adjust for human body weight so you do do not overdose on medication."
But no, they started screaming, "HORSE DEWORMER!!!"
I hate these people.
I have to have agreed to be in a control group. I cannot be put into a control group without my knowledge, because I can't participate in a controlled drug experiment without my knowledge. That's "crimes against humanity" territory, even if it's just saline.
When they do cancer drug trials, people who are getting the placebo KNOW that there is a possibility they're getting a sugar pill. It's in the contract they would sign for informed consent. They don't know if they got a sugar pill, but they agreed to the possibility in writing.
If I did not sign a document that informed me of the potential that I could get a placebo drug, they cannot legally inject me with a placebo drug.
I did not sign a document consenting to the possibility of a placebo. So it would be illegal to give me one.
You're assuming the rule of law still matters and that you'll be treated with respect. I submit that the mandates, lockdowns and vaccine passports, and most especially the FDA's and the federal government's monkey business regarding the approval of Pfizer's Comirnaty, which I've read isn't even available, but which has been used as the justification for the hue and cry that the Pfizer injection is now FDA approved, are all a serious indication that no one in power cares about things like your consent in a drug trial that hasn't even been adequately communicated as the drug trial it is.
