But I think it's probably safe to assume that the cure to covid isn't coming from an extract from a plant that's ridiculously toxic for humans to ingest

"To the alarm of some government health officials..." Do I need to read on, or is this exactly what I assume it is.

It's honestly probably dumber, considering the people pushing this are Ben Carson and the My Pillow guy

Why the Housing and Urban Development secretary and a guy who started a company to make shitty memory foam pillows that smell funny are giving any kind of pharmaceudical advice, idk

Let's not rush to judgment. I mean, it's not like the My Pillow guy was sued for making false medical claims about his own product? Right?

He promotes this, other guys get rich. They kick it back to Trump properties.

I'm dying on the inside at the guy responsible for this dealt with the obvious questions about this- considering there's no data anyone can find to show it was ever tested on animals OR humans- came back with "we have a study it's just not published yet"

It's a grift, they don't want or need proof. People will buy in for the same reason they do all snake oil: the abuse of their hope.

I know this is fucking horrible, but at this point I kind of hope a lot of Republicans go ahead and take this shit. As far as I'm concerned they're all guilty of the manslaughter of 170,000+ people, it'd be the closest thing to justice they'll ever face
