Your appeal to authority reminded me of when "Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth" managed to sucker me into believing their conspiracy theories when I was in undergrad.



The name of that organization reminds me of the covid19 conspiracy theorists/antivaxxers at "America's Frontline Doctors". Turns out you can just name an organization anything you want to make it appear legit. Time to sign up for some horse paste ordered via internet!

Do you realize that the "horse paste" meme was launched directy after Joe Rogan got Covid and cured himself by taking Ivermectine? Makes you think, doesn't it?


One, I think your timeline is wrong (Rogan got it early Sept. [1] but even the FDA was making "you're not a horse" jokes in late August [2]), and two, just because Rogan took it and got better doesn't mean it's what cured him (I believe he took multiple medications/treatments and most people his age recover from COVID regardless)
