    Why do they keeping holding up this one irrelevant medication for random things? Do a lot of GOPers own stock in the company or something?

      I wouldn’t be surprised if a sizable amount of these people have some kind of parasitic infection -> take a dewormer -> don’t feel as sick anymore -> zomg the government doesn’t want you to know!

        Close. They get sick, take a dewormer, get better because they would have anyway, and think it was the dewormer that did it.

      Because they think “miracle drug” means cure all and not “holy shit this antiparasitic works really well on so many parasites with minor side effects to mammals”

      At this point I wouldnt be surprised to find out that the patent is secretly owned by the Saudi’s or Israel or Roger Stone or something else unbelievably goofy
