Hey all! 1st post but have been lurking for years. Had my dad over for dinner tonight, he’s been going down rabbit holes for years since 2020. I’ll keep it short, he thinks ivermectin from tractor supply can prevent him from getting viruses, cancer and diabetes. If I bring up that it’s not advised by health agencies he just isn’t having it. I’ve heard of people getting sick from it, but he doesn’t wanna hear it. I’m curious where the disinformation came from…the things he’s worried about isn’t a parasite? How tf did it go from treating Covid short term, to daily supplementation? I’ve thought about posting here years ago and today I’m just like eeeeeeeeeeeeee…I love my dad regardless of stupid rabbit holes he finds himself in. Sucks they’re getting to him. I asked if he had any side effects and he said sometimes lights are brighter right after he takes it. I wanna help him but I don’t want him to dismiss me as “just a dumb lib” ugh. I feel like this is a rant but any suggestions would be awesome. We’re tight, I don’t want our views to change our relationship etc. Appreciate you all and I feel for others who have watched loved ones get sucked into this drain of hard opinionated information/disinformation. He’s a great person. Lifelong military veteran, didn’t seem interested in politics till again 2020ish.
