“If they don’t attack us—kill our children, we won’t attack their diesel.” - Volodymr Zelenskyy The leader of a democratic nation shouldn’t have to beg America to not fund the war killing its children. The time is long past to choose good over evil. We should be ashamed of our leaders.

A "paper" written by these grifters claimed that Ivermectin & Mebendazole improve cancer outcomes by 84%. It was not a proper clinical trial. It took 6 months of additional experiments (that the reviewers asked for) before Neoplasia published my PhD work. 🧪 theconversation.com/ivermectin-i...
theconversation.com
Ivermectin isn’t a cancer miracle drug, but influencers claim otherwise – here’s how to avoid sprinting past scientific evidence
Science works at a much slower pace than social media, opening a large window for early findings to be taken at face value and misinformation to spread.
