"British armed forces are to be given insect repellant to protect them against Covid-19 infection, it has emerged."
It will repel mosquitoes, which were never the vector for COVID-19. Pure quackery, like sending them into battle armed with pointed sticks.

(Insect repellent's not only useless, it's worse than useless - because it gives a false sense of security.)
They're also apparently going to be given disinfectant (to wash with, not to inject!) and vitamin D supplements.
Shameful! None of this will protect them from the virus.

The WHO have weighed in on the issue in the past... The idea that mosquitoes can transmit COVID-19 is one of the myths they've picked out to bust.

Perhaps the MOD needs to refer itself to its own COVID-19 misinformation handling unit?
