        I suppose if you are a miserable piece of fuk you’re going to spend your life trying to make as many other people miserable as possible.

        Awhile ago I saw a YT of a nigress on “The View” get all afri on Aldean because several scenes in his video were filmed in Macon and that’s where a lynching took place sometime ago in ancient history. Seeing that scene gave her the vapors and therefore Aldean is a racist.

        Aldean responded by saying the entire film production scrutinized the whole thing to make sure there was nothing racist about it before it was released. The media response to Aldean was that his afri-splainin’ was proof of his racist demeanor.

        My wish for the day is that a fleet of Macon ghetto negro’s would kidnap that “View” woman and treat her like the savages they are and she is.

      Aldean should have named the toon: FAFO
      Incidently, the mp3 is available for download on amazon and it doesn’t have the “spoken” part that is in the yootoob vid. Just bare toonage.

      FWIW, the chord pattern is pretty simple so I figured it out, and the rest, fast.
      I stretched the lead out and made it my own.

    The long journey of a Japanese soil sample
    The story of how ivermectin was discovered is quite incredible. In the late 1960s, Satoshi Ōmura, a microbiologist at Tokyo’s Kitasako Institute, was hunting for new antibacterial compounds and started to collect thousands of soil samples from around Japan. He cultured bacteria from the samples, screened the cultures for medicinal potential, and sent them 10,000 km away to Merck Research Labs in New Jersey, where his collaborator, William Campbell, tested their effect against parasitic worms affecting livestock and other animals. One culture, derived from a soil sample collected near a golf course southwest of Tokyo, was remarkably effective against worms. The bacterium in the culture was a new species, and was baptised Streptomyces avermictilis. The active component, named avermectin, was chemically modified to increase its activity and its safety. The new compound, called ivermectin, was commercialised as a product for animal health in 1981 and soon became a top-selling veterinary drug in the world. Remarkably, despite decades of searching, S. avermictilis remains the only source of avermectin ever found.

    Campbell urged his colleagues to study ivermectin as a potential treatment for onchocerciasis (also known as river blindness), a devastating disease caused by worms and transmitted by flies, that left millions of people blind, mostly in sub-Saharan Africa. The first clinical trials in Senegal showed that the treatment worked, and ivermectin was approved for human use in 1987. Since then, more than 3.7 billion doses (donated by Merck laboratories) have been distributed globally in mass drug administration campaigns against onchocerciasis and lymphatic filariasis (another disease caused by worms, which causes severe swelling of limbs). The impact of ivermectin in decreasing the burden of these devastating diseases is immeasurable. Deservedly, Ōmura and Campbell won the Nobel prize for physiology and medicine in 2015 “for their discoveries concerning a novel therapy against infections caused by roundworm parasites” (they shared it with Youyou Tu, who discovered the antimalarial drug artemisinin). But ivermectin’s story of success does not end here.

    A game-changing drug with many potential uses
    Ivermectin, in fact, was the world’s first “endectocide” – a drug with activity against a wide variety of internal and external parasites, from nematodes to arthropods. It has also proved to be astonishingly safe for humans. This is because the drug acts by binding to special channels on the cell membrane (called glutamate-gated ion channels) that play a fundamental role in nematodes and insects. In mammals, however, the drug has no effect since the neurons expressing these channels are protected by the blood brain barrier. In addition to its high safety profile, no convincing evidence of drug resistance has been found to date among Onchocerca worms, despite 30 years of continued use and billions of doses administered.

    All this explains why ivermectin is becoming increasingly attractive to treat other diseases in humans. For example, long-term treatment with ivermectin to control onchocerciasis was shown to reduce the prevalence of other parasitic worms called soil-transmitted helminths, which infect up to one fifth of the world’s population and are a major cause of malnutrition and growth impairment in children. Furthermore, ivermectin is very effective against Strongyloides, a roundworm that infects up to 35 million people every year. This has motivated studies – such as the STOP project led by ISGlobal – to test the efficacy of adding ivermectin to the current recommended treatment against these intestinal worms.

    Ivermectin has also proved to be effective against external parasites such as head lice and the tiny Sarcoptes mite, which causes scabies (an itchy skin condition, of which there are 3oo million cases every year).

    But that is not all. The observation that mosquitoes feeding on individuals treated with ivermectin have a shorter lifespan, inspired the innovative idea of using the drug as a “weapon” against malaria-transmitting mosquitoes. The BOHEMIA project, also led by ISGlobal, will test the impact of giving ivermectin to entire communities, and their livestock, on mosquito populations and malaria prevalence in two highly endemic areas for the disease.

    Because of its impact, safety and versatility, ivermectin has earned the title of “wonder drug” among public health specialists. Treating entire communities with the drug could represent a safe and effective means of “hitting several birds with one stone”; in other words, reducing the prevalence of several disabling parasitic diseases and improving overall community health in the developing world. Whether ivermectin lives up to these great expectations, remains to be seen. Meanwhile, its trip from a Japanese sample soil to improving the lives of millions of people affected by parasitic worms, is definitely worth a story.

    3 years ago when I first heard of Ivermectin I purchased a battalion size quantity of the stuff from amazon.

    Since then I have taken a tube’s worth every 3 months just because.
    I have never noticed any issues at all – and I have not had covid or anything else.

    Here’s a link to the exact stuff I have purchased and it is still very reasonably priced:

    Just like ammo for self defense, Ivermectin should be in your supply as well.

    • jwm July 21, 2023, 6:51 PM

      I go with the injectable solution. 2ml in a cup mixed with cold coffee, kombucha, or whatever is handy to hide the taste. I’ve heard the paste is not very tasty either.

      • ghostsniper July 21, 2023, 7:19 PM

        The paste isn’t very tasty.
        Supposed to be apple flavor but that’s a looong stretch.
        Tastes very medicinal-metallic.
        I squeeze about 200ml out into a plastic spoon then right down the pipe and chase it with whatever I’m drinking.
        Leaves a lingering taste but not too bad.
        All in all, I still highly recommend.
        If I could get the drinkable kind I would like to try it.

  • jwm July 21, 2023, 5:30 PM

    I’ve been using IVM per saint Ann’s protocols for three years, now. Suddenly, the POS state of California will no longer allow it to be shipped here. I went to re-supply, and Amazon won’t even list it. I tried Tractor supply, and they won’t ship it to CA. I tried to do a work around, and ran face first into absolutely disgusting levels of ignorance and fear. You’d think I was trying to score fentanyl.
    Still trying.
    It’s unbelievable how many people have not even heard of it. Even some of my friends in the bike club, people who are otherwise pretty based have never heard of it. The lies, and suppression of information about IVM is frankly terrifying.

    Try Ivermectin.com

    • ghostsniper July 23, 2023, 2:09 PM

      Thanx jd.
      Seems kinda pricey so I’ll have to run the comparative numbers.
      Admittedly, I’d rather deal with pills than “ointment”.

  • David July 23, 2023, 3:25 PM

    Ivermectin is a modified form of Streptomycin G.

    It has been seen to be very effective against and preventing Covid 19. I gave a dose to my son (the paste) on a Friday when he came down with it in 2021. He was pretty sick. By Sunday, he was much better; gave him a second dose, which he choked down (as Ghost Sniper says, the paste is pretty awful). He was back to work on Monday.
    The protocol using the liquid injectable solution (taken orally) by Ann Barnhardt seems to work well.
    It is also thought to be very effective against Cancer. But again, since it is relatively inexpensive, most of the big Pharma companies will not fund the clinical research to confirm that.

    • ghostsniper July 23, 2023, 5:56 PM

      Good for your son, and for you being his dad.
      I’ve read of people putting IVM directly on cuts and burns effectively.
      Seems to be a universal medicinal solvent.
      A shame we can’t get any truth out of the medical establishment.
