Presumably the rate of overdoses or bad reactions would stay the same for doctor prescribed ivermectin, so 24x more prescriptions would result in 24x more overdoses or bad reactions. Then throw in the people taking veterinary versions of th

Violating a state statute is still illegal by definition, even if the remedy provided is civil rather than criminal. That makes the Crime Stoppers comparison still pretty fair, in my opinion. And no, the Supreme Court didn't decide tha

It looks awfully similar to me. In both cases these are private entities that allow users to confidentially submit tips about potentially illegal behavior. And the "medical procedures" bit discussed below seems like a pretty blata

GoDaddy also hosts crimestoppersusa.org, a site that has functioned as a similar "snitch line" for years, yet they have not been terminated for violating the ToS. The exception seems to be this enforcement action. Also, it's

I'm rather skeptical of the scale of this issue, given how it's one doctor making the claim with no stats to back it up, and it plays perfectly into the media's stereotypes of rural Americans. Have a handful of people taken a

I work in an office with a 100% vaccination rate, and yet we've recently been instructed to wear masks at all times. Wearing a mask 8 hours a day is very uncomfortable, the benefit is likely extremely marginal at best, and the policyma

Maybe they're thinking about the thousands of dollars they aren't (but could be) making rather than the $145 they are? From that delusional perspective, you're costing them untold potential income.

The corporation subsidizes the foundation, not the other way around. It's just a question of how much. Here's a toy example that illustrates Mozilla's situation. Let's say you have XYZ Corp and XYZ Foundation (501c3). XY

The corporation is a wholly owned subsidiary of the foundation. It's effectively one organization structured to minimize taxes. What exactly is your point anyways?
