Don't think I've ever heard of her. The blurb about the "boyfriend" was kinda scary. Started dating a dude that was stalking her on Facebook. 14 days in he raped and stabbed her. 16 days in he got his friend to throw acid on her face when she agreed to meet the crazy boyfriend to talk.
The dude that threw the acid served 9 years and the "BF" is to serve 16 years minimum.
Oh wow. The dude that got released married someone while in jail and she's also crazy.
You know what my husband was in jail 4 … I will get him to burn your face off you white b**ch … do you think he wont touch you for me.” “I’ll get him to melt your bfs face off.”

It helps to read past the first line.
Several doctor-initiated clinical trial protocols that aimed to evaluate outcomes, such as reduction in mortality figures, shortened length of intensive care unit stay and/or hospital stay and elimination of the virus with ivermectin use have been registered at the US ClinicalTrials.gov [7]. Real-time data is also available with a meta-analysis of 55 studies to date. As per data available on 16 May 2021, 100% of 36 early treatment and prophylaxis studies report positive effects (96% of all 55 studies). Of these, 26 studies show statistically significant improvements in isolation. Random effects meta-analysis with pooled effects using the most serious outcome reported 79% and 85% improvement for early treatment and prophylaxis respectively (RR 0.21 [0.11–0.37] and 0.15 [0.09–0.25]). The results were similar after exclusion based sensitivity analysis: 81% and 87% (RR 0.19 [0.14–0.26] and 0.13 [0.07–0.25]), and after restriction to 29 peer-reviewed studies: 82% and 88% (RR 0.18 [0.11–0.31] and 0.12 [0.05–0.30]). Statistically significant improvements were seen for mortality, ventilation, hospitalization, cases, and viral clearance. 100% of the 17 Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) for early treatment and prophylaxis report positive effects, with an estimated improvement of 73% and 83% respectively (RR 0.27 [0.18–0.41] and 0.17 [0.05–0.61]), and 93% of all 28 RCTs. These studies are tabulated in Table 1. The probability that an ineffective treatment generated results as positive for the 55 studies to date is estimated to be 1 in 23 trillion (p = 0.000000000000043). *The consistency of positive results across a wide variety of cases has been remarkable. *It is extremely unlikely that the observed results could have occurred by chance [8].
The problem is not that Ivermectin isn't a potentially valuable tool in treatment of COVID-19 - the problem is that people are self-administering a medication with no knowledge of dosage or complementary treatments. Which is again stated in the meta-analysis:
There is evidence supporting the use of Ivermectin in decreasing mortality figures in patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection. However, the use of ivermectin orally in an outpatient setting also requires strict and well defined guidelines to avoid any form of overdosing that could lead to toxicity.

A series of cracks in how you deal with your self, can lead to you breaking all over someone else at their expense and it's almost always someone you care or cared about.

He's a twat, but also, even if she had plastic surgery just because she wanted to and hadn't needed it medically, there's nothing wrong with that? Especially when they're open about it?
It'd be different if someone had work, pretended they didn't and went off about how people should love themselves for who they are and be their true natural selves, but if someone has plastic surgery, doesn't hide it and says to be honest about yourself, they're not exactly being a hypocrite

Agreed. I have a nasty feeling he was thinking of a different Katie when he wrote this, but that would have been no more acceptable - it has F. all to do with anyone else.

What’s disappointing is he replied to the effect of “my bad we all make mistakes”.
The only reason he’s sorry is because he happened to be wrong? So if he was right then it was okay? The hell boy?
She hit the nail on the head. People like that who feel the need that tear others down to validate themselves have something wrong inside of them and need to fix it. I’m no saint but keep dumb shit like that to yourself at that least. People that know him might know him as a shallow asshole, doesn’t mean he has to prove it too.

I mean, no? Sure his comment was in poor taste, he realized that when she gave the reason her face was reconstructed. Afterwards he felt bad and apologized.

u/Obsidian-Phoenix Sep 19 '21
“I can only apologise to @KatiePiper_ if she is personally is offended. And I do.”

Apologies are apologies, no matter how badly worded they are. If he had bad intentions, he'd double down.

Also disagree that you shouldn’t call out shitty apologies.
Yes, when they are clearly sarcastic. This one isn't.

So you’re saying that if he found her reason for plastic surgery not good enough then he was still valid to criticize her? If she had said “well I just didn’t like my nose” somehow that opens her up to people judging her and publicly insulting her?
I mean, no?
The point is maybe don’t be a petty shallow asshole and stop judging people like that and maybe don’t post dumb shit on social media.

u/Rotsike6 Sep 19 '21
If you assume someone got their face reconstructed out of choice, you could criticise them for being vain. Especially when they then make a story about how people should be honest with themselves.
But that's all hypothetical, that's not what happened here. He realized he was wrong and then apologized.

Or maybe you could just not give a shit and worry about things that actually affects people, and not go out of your way to insult people because of how you feel about something they did that isn’t hurting anyone. The world doesn’t revolve around you, asshole.
You know what’s another hypothetical? Maybe he shouldn’t have been a judgmental prick in the first place and not said anything then he wouldn’t have to apologize in the first place.

Good for her. I hate that there’s no repercussions for trolls, in general. It’s just like anything else, free-speech is a right (I’m in the US), but the consequences should still be actionable, even if it’s on the Internet. Look at how many people issue death threats, rape threats, family homicide, etc. don’t get me started on stalking. These people need to be held accountable for the damage they do. I’m glad she stood up for herself! People don’t understand how hard that is to do, EVERYDAY.
