    I’m morbidly curious how antivaxers would respond if some YouTuber started telling them that leeching could “suck out the Rona”.

    …Who am I kidding, we already know.

      I’m only surprised such a suggestion didn’t get to and get disseminated by Trump.

      I guess it’s hard to find leeches these days. I wouldn’t know where to get one other than a pond in an area known to have leeches.

        Ironically, medical leeches and maggots are still used in modern medicine under extremely rare conditions. They are specific species bred in labs for that purpose however.

      They are already taking Ivermectin, which would kill Leeches who drink their blood
