i was curious about the side effects of ivermectin and apparently there is a human version. but people are still taking the horse version.

Human version (produced by totally not a member of any big pharma conspiracy Merck) requires a prescription and real doctors/pharmacists are telling people to gently caress off so they are buying the animal versions otc instead.

Like, OK I know why Hitler and Stalin and Pol Pot and Mao and Suharto killed millions of people. It was bad, but I know why they did it and what they were trying to do. I don't even understand this whole angle of, like, letting everyone get sick and die to prove that there is no problem? What are you trying to do?

The big difference IMO is that Jews, Ukrainians, or city Cambodians did not want to die for the cause. DeSantis's base does. The GOP schtick of strength=hating weakness means they only have contempt for those who get sick or die. DeSantis could spray his base with machine gun fire and they'd close ranks and march forward to the last man like Gallipoli, laughing and mocking every other person mowed down until it happened to them. If DeSantis stops firing for even a moment, the crowd will turn on him. Not to assign even a speck of humanity to that walking offal, but it may be why he's pitching regeneron so much (no, its because he ghoulishly wants to pick their pockets as they march in waves over the wall).

Lol, "might be"? Abusing data lag has been a standard technique since the beginning of the pandemic (and it wasn't new then, either).

E: Double Lol, WSJ rushing to his defense with "many states use this". Many of them are using it for the exact same purpose but the (more) well-intentioned figured out how to at least highlight the misleading component.

My running theory, based on nothing in particular so take from it what you will, is someone in his camp ran the numbers and determined the loss of voters from covid deaths does not outweigh the loss of voters from a Republican opponent who runs on a more ruthless campaign of caring about your freedoms. Which if sensible health guidelines were in place would be relatively easy to do because there is nothing Republicans love more than to say, "Why did we do all this stuff!? Such a waste! Nothing bad even happened." Obviously ignoring the bad things [or nearly as bad] didn't happen because of those preventative measures.

Just a guess. He could also be a massive devout death-cult dumbass. These don't need to be mutually exclusive, of course.

I realised a thing this morning - republican chuds are unreachable, they are going to keep dying at shocking rates from covid because ITS NOT REAL. Abbot and De Santis know this, so to offset the deaths from their voters from stupidity, they have to undermine and destroy sensible Covid mitigation strategies to ensure that equal numbers of non Abbot/DeSantis voters die too.

They want to make sure people who would never vote for them die in similar numbers to their own voters, and they are willing to do it by force.

The issue with the way Florida is reporting deaths is not that the data lag exists, but that they very recently changed the way they reported. It was right as the delta wave was heating up. I've been watching the Florida numbers almost daily throughout the pandemic since I live in this cursed swamp, and it was "normal" in the past to see hundreds of deaths reported each day during the peaks. This time, they've been reporting 20,000+ new confirmed cases almost every day for a month, but somehow single digit deaths each day. So yeah, other places may be doing it too, but the reason it's being talked about in FL is not just because it's misleading, but because the timing of it makes it obvious that the governor is trying to cover up the current crisis and get the "FL breaks corpse pile record for 3rd day in a row as DeSantis defunds another school for requiring masks" headlines out of the news every day. Now we only get those headlines once per week when the cumulative numbers get updated.

Could some of the red state deathcultism also be based on a calculation that non-whites suffer higher death rates than whites, so it's a backhanded way of trying to cull non-white populations and their own supporters are just acceptable collateral damage?

Given that these cards are being filled out by hand I'm not sure I agree with the spelling being a major tell lol

Yeah I had to point out to a vaccinator at a site I was working at that she'd written "Phizer" on a bunch of forms (but weirdly had spelled it correctly on the cards). She reckons she'd probably written the word about 20,000 times by that point and her brain was just rejecting the word. Also every once in a while people (admin and clinical) just brainfart and write AZ instead of Pfizer or put the date in the batch number space on the card or something despite filling out the exact same details on the exact same card dozens or hundreds of times a day (this is of course why QA exists as a field).

At least the NHS does an electronic record thing, but I'm willing to bet there's a pharmacist somewhere taking backhanders to squirt the dose into the bin or something - not really a huge amount you can do about that though.
