Five years after the pandemic began, interest in the anti-parasitic drug is rising again as right-wing influencers promote it — and spread misinformation about it.
My mom reads clickbait titles and thinks she knows the entire story.
A few years ago there was a clickbait title that Cracker Barrel was closing their restaurants, and she told me they were going out of business. I found the story, and it said that they were closing a few stores, but they were opening up a whole lot more. Cracker Barrell wasn’t going out of business. All she had read was the title, and concluded they were completely going out of business.
To this day, whenever we pass a Cracker Barrell, she either repeats that she read they were going out of business, or she wonders aloud when they be closing that location, since they are going out of business. When I try to correct her, she says she read it, and “You think you know everything.”
No, Mom, I don’t know everything, but I know not to believe clickbait headlines.
On the positive side, she has always despised HitlerPig with a white-hot passion. She hated him long before he ran for president anyway, but she became really serious after the Pussy-Grabber tape. After that, for a couple of years, just the mention of his name would bring on a 20 minute rant, starting with “I dont know how any woman could vote for that man…”
