A THREAD: The research, study, or theory that bona fide human treatment, medicine, or vitamins would not hurt, and may indeed help fight COVID-19, followed by the resulting reaction from media and government. We start with...
UV light treatment vs. "Drinking/injecting bleach."
Hydroxychloroquine vs. "Fish tank cleaner." (Conflating hydroxychloroquine with chloroquine phosphate, a completely different chemical compound.)
Ivermectin vs. "Horse dewormer." The media took this false narrative to such a frenzy, conflating Nobel Prize-winning, prescribed, human ivermectin with veterinarian-grade medication that the U.S. FDA even jumped aboard the mockery.
Vitamin D vs. "Side effects" warnings. Yes, too much vitamin D (or any other vitamin for that matter) causes side effects. We've known this forever. Seems an odd time for this sudden warning when so many are also deficient, putting them at risk.
Aspirin vs. "Breaking new study warns people to no longer take it as preventive medicine." This was that "Settled Science" we heard about for decades. And just as new research shows it could fight COVID-19, different research says not to take it anymore.
