It’s always possible to make a post hoc justification to save you favoured hypothesis. If the handful of doctors who have become famous from this think that have a protocol that works they should publish it. Others can then run the trials and we’ll see if it works.

Ortho- read the following: EVMS CRITICAL CARE COVID-19 MANAGEMENT PROTOCOL. It provides a list of OTC supplements to be used to fight this virus.

OK… the article you linked to say there is no evidence that this works. So I’m not sure it’s going to be the answer to ending lockdowns.

Wow, the science says it will work. Quercetin is an ionophore. That plus the zinc will stop the virus from replicating. Vitamin D boosts the immune system.

and disinfectant will kill the virus on a surface, Doesn’t make for a treatment though. I think we should probably wait until there is any evidence that taking these supplements protects from the virus before we declare it safe to reopen

The science says it. That is what has you confused- it’s science. And that is why the list exists- the science.

I’m not sure I’ve ever read someone who understands less about how scientific evidence works. As I say, I don’t think this is likely to be the panacea that ends the pandemic. |
