In some countries they give free needles to heroin addicts. Why do they care about harm there but for ivermectin they "force" the misinformed people to take the horse paste form?

Because half the country and the mainstream media would rather revel in laughter at those people than help them. They rationalize it as them being too dumb to take the vaccine instead of probing why exactly people are so distrustful of massive conglomerates that can't be held responsible in any way for any side effects their products may cause.

The culture wars have fucked this country hard.
