They put "artist" in there and "humorist" front and center. Some of this one seems to be self mockery of the cartoonist and character as a grouch.

It's not something I've ever really looked into but I wonder if you had big antivax movements in Jenner's day. Lawrence Fox's great great grandad, the last person to die of smallpox. Tbh back in the day you'd have more grounds to worry because 18th C inoculation did just give you the disease on occasion so you can see why people would be hesitant.
I read this yesterday which briefly covers some of the historical antivax movements, the difference between under-vaccinated (mostly of minorities and poor) and anti-vax (mostly wealthy white women and fringe contrarians), community and group distrust, and beast matter :black101:

It also reminds me of The Man in the Red Coat which came out just before Covid and mentions in part the once controversial surgical technique of "washing your drat hands" in the conspiracy minded milieu of 19th century Paris and how that (and the progress of surgical science in general) tied into insane petit aristocratic conspiracies about everything from body pollution and personal liberty (of aristocrats, not you) all the way to "the enemy, the Protestant, allied with the Jew and the Freemason against the Catholic", creating what could be said to be the first modern grand-scale conspiracies where everything on earth is part of a plot against them.

Plus ça change, I guess they'd say.

Fun fact: I watched the now dated Lawrence Fox film 'The Hole' again the other day because I saw it on Netflix and remembered it being decent. It's actually still alright, with the exception of Keira Knightley, who was only sixteen at the time, flashing her tits. I do not understand how that hasn't been edited out, but yes apparently there is still inexplicably CP on the world's biggest streaming platform of all things. Bizarre.

The 60s version of Romeo and Juliet shown in classrooms feature underage nudity, to the extent that Juliet's actress was too young to enter the premiere because her own tits were on the screen.

See also Oscar winning American Beauty.

Wasn't Mena Suvari at least 19 when the film came out? This also not a recommendation to watch American Beauty because it seems like a film that would be really boring at best and at worst deeply unsettling with what we know about Spacey.

Honestly, as a species we're pretty awful.

Agreed. It's one of those movies that is often misinterpreted and passed off as problematic when in fact it just deals with problematic subject matter.

Where did the Ivermectin thing even come from? Did some actual scientists look at it as a potential candidate and the antivaxers ran with it, or was it invented out of whole cloth?

There were some medical studies suggesting that ivermectin could have an effect on covid, but the sample size and overall quality of the studies was low, and even if they were accurate you would have to take a dangerously high dose to get the effect.

I think there was a study in India that showed people who'd had a course of Ivermectin did slighty better with Covid response, but it turned out that it was because they were the ones who didn't have gut worms because the Ivermectin had cured that. If you don't have the worms in the first place then the Ivermectin does nothing (of any use).

it is normal to run studies for potential new uses of existing drugs

there were a couple of studies on ivermectin that came out just when hydroxychloroquine (remember that?) was found out to cause a lot of unpalatable side effects (heart problems) in mid 2020. my sense is that this is where the social media bandwagoning got started - when people who cut their teeth on hydroxychloroquine moved to ivermectin, which has fewer really problematic side effects and the debate is more about effectiveness

a key driver seems to be India which only withdrew approval for hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin in September 2021, more than a year later

quote:

In April, which includes an eight day period from the 23rd of the month to the 30th, following Trump’s comments, the increase was 121% compared to April of 2019. In the first ten days of May, things settled down some, with poisonings up 69% over the same 10-day period in 2019.

For bleach, the numbers are less dramatic, but still telling. In January, February and March 2020 poisonings were up 7%, 1% and 59% respectively over each of the same months last year. In April they leapt 77%.

There are a lot of dumb rear end people in this world.
