Cuomo, who mocked the “horse dewormer” and its defenders on CNN four years ago, told the PBD Podcast this week he is taking a “regular dose” of Ivermectin because he is suffering from so-called “long-COVID” and its effects.
“Ivermectin was a boogeyman during COVID. That was wrong,” Cuomo told his co-hosts. “We were given bad information about Ivermectin. The real question is, why?”
Cuomo went on to answer the “why” question, which is money and profits, but he blamed the medical community for keeping quiet about Ivermectin out of fear of backlash.
“My doctor was using it during COVID on her family and on her patients, and it was working for them,” Cuomo said. “So they were wrong to play scared on that.”
Thanks to social media, which never forgets, Cuomo’s comment this week is being played side by side with his bully-sounding back-and-forth with CNN co-host Don Lemon.
“People who are getting, injecting, drugs for animals,” Lemon mockingly said in 2021. “And horse dewormer!”
“And people telling them to!” Cuomo interjected.
Cuomo also told Lemon those medical professionals – which would secretly include his own doctor - should be “shamed” for advising patients to take it. “They need to be called out and shamed, brother,” Cuomo told Lemon.
Cuomo reverses on vaccine injuries, too
Cuomo is also acknowledging injuries related to the COVID-19 shot, which was approved with Emergency Use Authorization, or EUA, by the FDA. Millions were mocked and bullied for being concerned about the shot's effectiveness and its untested side effects, and President Biden attempted to use OSHA to force 80 million Americans to get the shot in order to keep their jobs.
In a X post dated May 4, Citizen Free Press played a five-minute segment in which Cuomo interviewed Shaun Barcavade, a nurse practitioner, on News Nation. The medical professional described how he suffered immediate side effects after the shot and still suffers from ringing in the ears, Tinnitus.
In the interview, Cuomo seemed to acknowledge he has side effects from the vaccine, too.
"The problem is people like Shaun and me, and millions of others, who still have weird stuff with their bloodwork and their lives, and their feelings physically, are not going away,” Cuomo told the audience.
Compare that comment to Cuomo's 2021 interview with a Republican congressman, Michael Burgess. Cuomo accused the Congressman of "jackassery" for Republican lawmakers defending vaccine hesitancy.
Cuomo was 'useful idiot'
In an X post about Cuomo's reversal on Ivermectin, author John LeFevre said Cuomo was “lazy” and didn’t do his job as a journalist.
“He was a useful idiot, repeating propaganda talking points, asking zero questions, and shaming anyone who did,” LeFevre wrote.
Reacting to Cuomo’s newest comments, talk show host Richard Randall tells AFN the disdain for Ivermectin can be traced to another disease, Trump Derangement Syndrome. Because the liberal news media hated President Trump, Randall says, anything tied to him was bad.
A second reason for the unhinged hatred, Randall suspects, is what Cuomo mentioned in the podcast: money.
“It was against their financial capabilities and their profits, and all the rest, for [Trump] to say Ivermectin,” Randall says.
