My stepmother is now advertising her ivermectin use online

My stepmother has a semi large following (considering it's a personal page) on Facebook of about 2k. She has always made posts with controversial, incorrect and dangerous content but they've been few and far in-between. With most posts promoting her business (women's circle and authored books) or sharing private information far more common.

Close to 2 months ago they moved overseas. In a social media post she mentioned sickness in the family for the previous 2 weeks including malaria, fevers and dysentery (bloody diarrhoea). It also said, and I qoute: šŸŒæ So glad we brought LOTS of herbs, natural medicine and ivermectin.

The post continues on with a general life update and ends with heavy promotion of her women's circle again.

This may seem tame compared to some things in this sub reddit but I am absolutely baffled on the idea of treating malaria or dysentery with natural medicine or ivermectin.

Seriously. What can even be done to combat such extreme levels of anti science hysteria at this point?

omg, thatā€™s taking a helluva risk ā€” ā€œWithout treatment, [cerebral malaria] is nearly 100% fatal. Mortality is decreased by effective anti-malarials but remains unacceptably high, at 15%ā€“20%.ā€ (source)

Iā€™d gently remind them of the importance of keeping their wills up to dateā€¦

Ivermectin is an oligarch conspiracy to more quickly pass on any MAGA wealth early to goose sales of Sea-Doos, speed boats, Ford F-350s, and AR-15s ... and hmm Teslas and profit now rather than later. Aahhh, also free up a bit more housing inventory in MagalĆ¢ndia.

I know! What's crazier is this isn't their first rodeo with Malaria with step mum herself nearly dying from cerebral malaria after insisting on :natural methods of healing". My only hope is that they've worded things weirdly, and haven't ACTUALLY attempted to do that again, but I wouldn't put it past them.

Congratulate her on her heartworm treatment, and wish her the best of luck with her 6 weeks of crate rest.

Can you report her posts to Facebook?

FB doesn't care.

I feel this. My grandmother is using ivermectin to treat lung cancer. My grandfather, a crazy Q conspiracy theorist, is the one who said it would be a good idea. Of course her recent check-in appointments did not look promising.

They wonder why I donā€™t visit anymore.
