The Biggest Super Spreader Event Since Trump's Tulsa Rally

Notorious antivaxx whack job and somehow still board certified doctor Bruce Boros, along with 6 other fellow travelers caught Covid-19 while at a seminar extolling the virtues of Ivermectin at an equestrian center.^*

There is a God, and he has a most remarkably dark sense of humor:

To hear the fringe doctors who gathered at an equine facility for the Florida COVID Summit earlier this month, ivermectin is as effective against the virus in humans as it is against worms in horses.

“I have been on ivermectin for 16 months, my wife and I,” Dr. Bruce Boros declared at the end of the meeting at the World Equestrian Center in Ocala. “I have never felt healthier in my life.”

Two days later, the 71-year-old cardiologist fell ill with COVID-19, according to the organizer of the one-day gathering and two other people with direct knowledge.

The organizer, Dr. John Littell, further reported to The Daily Beast that six others among the 800 to 900 participants had also tested positive or developed COVID symptoms “within days of the conference.”

“People are considering if it was a superspreader event,” Littell said.

Once again, the schadenfreude that I am feeling probably means that I am not a good person, but I really don't care.
