No, it cited actual real life studies by people claiming to be scientists and medical professionals. I'm guessing it was posted around March?

If /u/InvoluntaryHalibut returns after the last outage, she could source it for you.

I actually read through the whole document, because it was so contrary to what the government shills were paid to say. I then bought some ivermectin on amazon in case I did catch the flu again, but haven't needed it yet.

Bizarrely, I just went out again this month, and almost everyone has dropped the mask fetish. Some are saying they've been poisoned and don't need a mask anymore, but after more than a year of not being able to go to any store, it's extremely weird to see people walking around outside with no masks. Just a few months ago, I saw 98% of all people outside literally wearing masks over their mouth and nose.

This past year has been incredibly instructive in what a failure the human species has been.

The Hydroxychloroquine hype was just like this. Then it was refuted in trials.

Without high-quality trials, we've got a couple of systematic reviews. One concluding that it helps. But it has been noticed that the effect it noticeable only in the poorer quality studies. Which usually means that what we're looking at is bias in the experiments rather than a genuine effect.

We need a large well blinded, randomized, placebo controlled trial. Until then we're just fucking guessing.
