Now we’re importing poop, hello 21st century.

I suppose if the cow is a sacred animal then cow dung is holy shit.

There is no concrete scientific evidence that cow dung or urine work to boost immunity against COVID-19, it is based entirely on belief," said Dr JA Jayalal, national president at the Indian Medical Association.

“There are also health risks involved in smearing or consuming these products – other diseases can spread from the animal to humans.”

Hate to admit it, but they’ve got a point.

“…cow poop doesn’t stop COVID”

But bullshit sure helps it spread.

If you do need some shit, get it locally:

Craigslist is likely a more robust better source.

There are so many claimed benefits for cow dung.

But I don’t trust Big Farma.

Religion: so dumb it makes you smear poop all over yourself.

Honestly “this cow poop might help prevent disease” is far more plausible than “Bill Gates is using that vaccine to secretly implant everyone with tracking microchips” and there are millions of Americans who believe the latter even though they almost all have access to reputable information sources.

Again… being somewhat ethical ruins everything!

I’ve still got contacts in my old college town, and could very easily source TONS of bullshit.

It’s artisanal cow turds!

(could probably sell them for more than those Amish “poo pets” for the garden too!)

You do social distancing your way, I’ll do it mine.
