This is supposed to be a NONPOLITICAL thread (not sure how) so mocking Fox News is probably not going to go over well. The OP refuses to post this stuff in a thread where all discussion is fair game (i.e. in the cave). It is a function of his cowardice.

I was just pointing out the OP's source. Are you telling me I got it wrong about the integrity of his source?

What I'm telling you is that the Mods should be making him post this in the cave (if anywhere) so that you can freely point out the integrity of his source without recrimination. I have no problem with you. I would note that there are *some* sources reporting test results supporting that Ivermectin could be helpful in treating COVID which are far more reputable than Fox News, but that is a different matter.
 
Something something Chuck Norris' tears could cure Covid but too bad he never cries something

The OP probably posted it here because unlike the cave, you have to engage in actual rationa civill debate rather than simply launching endless barrages of ad hominem attacks.

I don't approve of endless barrages of ad hominem attacks, but it has been demonstrated time and time again that some of the wet farters are posting in Off Topic because they believe that the Mods will allow then to inject their politics into the threads and will prevent those thinking otherwise from doing the same. It has happened time and time again and it will happen again with this thread eventually. There's no reason that rational debate can't occur in the cave. You've made my point--Off Topic is not supposed to be a place for debate. He knows all of this. His postings have resulted in numerous threads being closed or removed. He is a coward.

The "source" is a medical doctor testifying in an open government forum that happens to be being broadcast by FOX. Would you be complaining about it if it was CNN instead of FOX? You can dispute/affirm his assertions on a completely scientific basis without bringing politics into the discussion.. The "FOX News as a source" objection is total BS.

Here is the video as posted on youtube.com without any reference to a host other than youtube.com. However, youtube.com might be considered by some as a biased host. The message is the same regardless of who has hosted the video.

Or how about we just stick to what we know works instead of speculating? Wear a mask, social distance, don’t go to crowded indoor places, and get vaccinated once that’s available to you. Common sense stuff.

Mask compliance is as high as it's ever been and has been illustrated to be ineffective. Social distancing and avoiding crowded indoor places is nearly 100% effective. Hopefully the vaccine won't kill very many.

Your reply in itself was an ad hominem.

Rational discussion in the cave? I stand a better chance getting Benji and buddy to be rational and civil in the ISR forums.
 
And I said I don't approve of endless barrages of ad hominem. So my single post is an endless barrage? The OP has earned my comment with months of posting. Beyond that I don't particularly care what you think.
How does one "earn" an ad hominem attack? I missed that in speech/debate class. Granted, it was decades ago when I took those classes, so things might have changed.
