This is rich. First they were pushing Ivermectin -the anti parasite drug most commonly used in animals- and now this:
I am willing to bet that there is a big overlap between these people and those who disparage and belittle trans people, since both groups can be found on the right wing/ conservative end of the political spectrum. Yet, here it is!

Can someone PLEASE explain the mentality that drives this insanity? They don't trust the vaccine, they don't trust proven anti viral drugs, they don't trust the government to tell them the truth about Covid deaths...... BUT THEY BELIEVE A GROUP OF QUACKS WITH QUESTIONABLE MOTIVES AND ETHICS !!!
Anti-Vaxxers Are Taking Feminizing HRT to (Try to) Cure COVID

Anti-Vaxxers Are Taking Feminizing HRT to (Try to) Cure COVID
That's one way to own the libs?
On Sunday, Fox News aired an interview with Dr. Pierre Kory, president of an organization called the “Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance,” through which Kory has advocated for the use of the antiparasitic drug ivermectin to treat COVID-19 (even after contracting the disease himself last year).
Kory directed viewers to consult the Critical Care Alliance’s “MATH+ hospital protocols” for drugs they should take to prevent or treat COVID-19 — and according to those protocols, “first line” therapy for hospitalized patients should include “dual anti-androgen therapy,” specifically drugs like spironolactone and finasteride.
Many transfeminine readers will be reading through their fingers at this point with mouth agape, because Kory’s recommendation is literally just that people Do a Medical Transition to beat COVID (instead of, you know, getting one of several safe and effective vaccines ahead of time). Finasteride and spironolactone are feminizing drugs that are commonly prescribed as part of hormone replacement therapy for trans women; both block testosterone, an androgen, from being absorbed into the bloodstream.
In the interest of being fair, because I only dunk on people in the name of Truth, there actually has been a small amount of support in medical literature indicating anti-androgens have some use in COVID treatment. A study published last year in the medical journal Viruses concluded that spironolactone’s “beneficial effect” in blocking androgen receptors merited additional study. But the study’s authors stopped far short of recommending spiro be actively taken to combat symptoms or boost recovery, pushing instead for more general research into receptor antagonism.
Can someone PLEASE explain the mentality that drives this insanity? They don't trust the vaccine, they don't trust proven anti viral drugs, they don't trust the government to tell them the truth about Covid deaths...... BUT THEY BELIEVE A GROUP OF QUACKS WITH QUESTIONABLE MOTIVES AND ETHICS !!!
