Me underestimate this audience? I doubt that. I'm continually wowed by this audience. This audience, for me---or so I like to think---continually surpasses expectations every day, almost on every thread.

I don't know anything about this guy, WL, who I'm told is now commenting under the nom de plume "Horatio." This development certainly ought to be scrutinized and carefully monitored. And I'd like updates whenever available. What's the consensus here with this WL/Horatio fellow anyway? A no-goodnik, a mountebank? Maybe a russian outfit guy on the run, here on TK cosplaying an ersatz suburban PCP (that's "primary care physician," not "phenylcyclohexyl piperidine") presenting himself as fully up-to-snuff on this Ivermectin thing? I hereby retract any sort of "supporting" comment or comments that I may have leant this eery fellow previously. It's gotten our man Sevender, here, thinking I'm on the take. If only it were so! Working one of the substack back alleys for Big Vaccine! Convince'em that a tin of Skoal is more effective than that ivymarxin concoction in treat'n "The Virus." Why, it's mostly sulphur, magnesium and a touch of molasses. Everyone knows that! Winners dance with the spike protein! What's a matter, kid---you 'fraid of needles? But in my defense, once you've heard one IVM salesman, you have heard them all.

Question. Why would anyone who is not a medical professional, with absolutely no formal training in medicine, think that parroting reams of second-hand information on a topic such as the drug ivermectin is a valuable use of their time? Or if you were a medical professional, but with no special knowledge or expertise of ivermectin or complex viruses in general, why would you proselytize for or against Ivermectin? Especially in a forum such as this one? Why do I think WL/Horatio knows what he's talking about? That he's a reliable guide to the efficacy of IVM in treating covid-19? I don't. Nor could I possibly know whether he's spot-on or a falling-down fraud. Nor, knowing myself, could I possibly ever care about such a thing. Why would anyone who is not trained and educated in such matters, even attempt to speak authoritatively on a subject like ivermectin---the nuances and complexities of which are quite clearly beyond their grasp? Answer me, kids---what's this debate really about?
