New York Times forced to correct major error on Ivermectin

Some of the same people upset about Texas' abortion law on "my body my choice" grounds were even more eager to talk about "idiots eating horse paste" have to be protected from themselves... and saw no dissonance, apparently.

It seems to me such positions must originate more from faith than principle; and I can't see the reason for such faith.

The state reluctantly allows people to poison themselves (caffeine, sugar, tobacco, alcohol), but there's a principled difference between having the choice to have an actual medical procedure supported by the healthcare industry, and eating horse dewormer because you've been deluded by liars and you think it'll protect you from a pandemic-causing disease (vs intentionally eating it because you want to get buzzed/high/drunk off it). You don't have to agree with that viewpoint, but it's intellectually dishonest to frame it as faith vs principal.

You should double check where you get your news from. You are either being lied to or not given the whole story.
