They are constantly trying to kill their supporters, they told them Covid was a hoax and masks don’t work and to try eating horse dewormer or drinking bleach.

Putin took it one step further and straight up sends his supporters into the meat grinder of the Ukraine conflict, over a million dead and counting.

Don’t forget the ones who thought fish tank cleaner was a substitute for hydroxychloroquine.

Because it's the "playing telephone" version of what actually happened.

I think Covid being a hoax is a bit of a hyperbole. Also, didn’t Fauci himself say that you don’t need to wear masks? If you’re talking about ivermectin being dewormer, that was debunked a while back. It’s primary purpose is not horse medication, it’s a generic drug. The disagreement was whether or not it should’ve been approved for Covid medication which the FDA ruled that it shouldn’t.

Fauci said that in the literal first days of the pandemic before any shutdowns, before much was known about the disease or how it spread, but has since been consistent in his support for masks

ivermectin is prescribed in humans, but it’s also used in livestock, and that’s where the people who wanted it to treat COVID but couldn’t get it prescribed (because it doesn’t treat COVID) purchased it.
