You'd think this would give his pro-Ivermectin followers at Dirt Road Discussions pause, that maybe, just maybe, ingesting a dewormer designed for large animals like cows and horses isn't such a bright idea. But to people who would entertain the idea in the first place probably not.


Just before 7 am on March 3, Danny Lemoi posted an update in his hugely popular pro-ivermectin Telegram group, Dirt Road Discussions: “HAPPY FRIDAY ALL YOU POISONOUS HORSE PASTE EATING SURVIVORS !!!”

Hours later, Lemoi was dead.

For the last decade, Lemoi had taken a daily dose of veterinary ivermectin, a dewormer designed to be used on large animals like horses and cows. In 2021, as ivermectin became a popular alternative COVID-19 treatment among anti-vaxxers, he launched what became one of the largest Telegram channels dedicated to promoting the use of it, including instructions on how to administer ivermectin to children......................

You'd think the website would be taken down but no, the article says it is still up and running.
Public health is in the gutter in the US!!

1. How about a law to legalize Ivermectin use, but you must take a minimum dose?

Make it a self correcting problem.

[TheRealNorth]

2. I will file this under.....

Fuck around/Find out.

Slightly below, "Thoughts and Prayers".

[wiggs]

3. should be headlines nationally. Not just left leaning site that a fraction reads. nt

[PJMcK]

4. How did ivermectin become a thing

It’s so stupid I can’t believe it.

I’m reminded of the third Terminator movie. John Conner breaks into a veterinarian’s office for medicine because of his motorcycle accident. He takes some drugs and Clare Danes’ character tells him it’s a drug for neutering dogs!

That’s how stupid these anti-vaxxers are.

ETA: Darwin Award candidate?

24. I know the big ivermectin lie made its way into evangelical wingnut churches - fertile ground for

groupthink; perhaps big moolah for ivermectin investors too.

[Drum]

5. For a decade???

[Traildogbob]

6. But he died

Without worms. Maybe worms won’t eat his corpse either.

[Hugh_Lebowski]

12. That might've been the one legitimate use for the medication

1000 years from now, he's still intact in his grave with piles of dead nematodes and insects around his corpse ... if humanity is still around, could be very, very fascinating

[Traildogbob]

18. He could

Be a Buffett to dung beetles. Sure seems like a pile of crap.

[calimary]

25. Seems like a fitting fate.

[DemocraticPatriot]

7. DARWIN SCORES AGAIN!!!!

Sad, silly and stupid.

"Survival of the fittest" was not only about physical prowess,
but the ability to use the brain that the great noodle-god gave you....


every day for 10 years?? OUCH!!!


edit: that predated the covid crisis for many years...
WTF gets into some people's heads ???

[IronLionZion]

8. He probably pooped his pants a lot

that's what happens with dewormer.

Having idiots die from self medicating against all scientific medical direction is a solution to it's own problem. There are legit medical uses for opioid painkillers and fentanyl with doctor supervision. But millions of people abuse it with disastrous results.

[NCjack]

32. But, he probably had no worms in his poop.

[IronLionZion]

34. He may have lost his intestines after that many years

[not fooled]

36. Or, a strain of ivermectin-resistant superworms

He was an unauthorized ten-year experiment in screening for ivermectin resistance! Any biofauna in his corpse is probably highly resistant.

[OAITW r.2.0]

9. A medical scientist with a degree in heavy equipment operation.

Just the kind of person I would take medical advice from....

[calimary]

27. Good Grief!

Yeah! Sure sounds like someone qualified to address health issues…

NOT!!!

[bucolic_frolic]

10. He lived survival-of-the-fittest dream

He just didn't survive. Oh well. Next moran.

[Hugh_Lebowski]

11. Well ...

[paleotn]

15. Curly Bill was inevitable.

[mountain grammy]

13. I honestly don't care if his idiot followers keep taking it.

Just don't give it to the children for goodness sake. What is wrong with these people?

[paleotn]

14. Good sense and rational thought is in the gutter in the US.

[CaptainTruth]

16. Sadly, people are allowed to be incredibly stupid.

[Martin68]

17. A daily dose of a de-wormer? This guy was nuts. I mean, did anyone suggest Ivermectin was a

supplement to be taken daily? Proof that conspiracy theories can kill you if taken literally.

[3catwoman3]

19. In a similar thread, I said, "Ivermectin may be good for horses...

…but not for a horse’s ass.”

[NNadir]

20. It's probably very mean to say this, but folks like this winning Darwin awards can't be bad for...

...our country.

[louis-t]

21. Influenced himself to death.

Can't fix stupid. These people who are NOT experts, NOT scientists, NOT doctors, telling everyone how brilliant they are.

[Demobrat]

22. His followers will never believe he died from Ivermectin use.

They’ll just call it fake news and carry on.

[FelineOverlord]

23. He's been the subject of several Reddit threads

On the LeopardsAteMyFace and HermanCainAward subreddits.

28. HermanCainAward!!! ??? !!!

OMG!

I don’t know whether to laugh or cry …

[Siwsan]

40. I follow them on Face Book

(Herman Cain Awardzz). They kept getting taken down because they posted screen shots from the awardee's pages that 'went against community standards', and awardee's families filed complaints. Now they slightly alter some of the shots with scribbles to show they are NOT promoting the false info but ridiculing it.

[C Moon]

26. I guess he had lyme disease and decided to take the Ivermectin...

he suggested it improved his heart function.
All these people listening to some guy who has no education on pharmaceuticals—some even giving it to their children.
Oh boy.

[Xandric]

31. it's like a cult

The Ivermectin cult.

[C Moon]

37. True.

[LudwigPastorius]

[Bayard]

30. What an idiot.

Basically, Ivermectin is a poison, like every other dewormer. I don't even like giving it to my horses or goats (twice a year for horses/donkeys, every 3 months for goats, rotated with other dewormers so the worms don't build resistance to a particular one). But they can die from parasites too.

Heartworm meds for dogs is ivermectin as well. And they want you to give it to your dog every month. We've seen, like--2 mosquitoes since we moved here 10 years ago. And we have a farm pond. If I started seeing very many, I would dose my dogs, but not arbitrarily once a month.

I'm not anti-meds, I just don't like unnecessary dosing. I've had too many cats and dogs die from weird cancers.

[twodogsbarking]

33. I think he may have shat to death.

[rpannier]

35. Ivermectin Influencer

[appleannie1]

38. See. It did prevent him from getting COVID. And he will never worry about getting it again.

[twodogsbarking]

41. Did you see that on FUX?

[mwb970]

39. There are SO MANY stupid people in America!

It's a country of idiots.
