No comments about the crap you posted in the thread?

Or an answer to why you lied and said I made certain claims in the conspiracy thread?

Only a fucking moron troll makes posts full of shit and then just moves on and ignores when he is shown to be wrong, are you a moron troll, soldierboy?

I find it strange that all these other (use) medications work on this virus. Maybe I am just not educated enough on medications/health etc.

Or are smart enough not to fall for all the snake oil shit. Though I’m sure drinking bleach definitely works.

People confusing correlation with causation

If the snake oil is shown to work, why not.

I don't have time for your obsessive rants about me.

It seems there were issues with that trial yes, but there are other studies and so doesn't take away from the effectiveness of HCQ.

Desperate Covid-19 beneficiaries sleep in North Durban parks to collect grants | Northglen News

Several photos of beneficiaries sleeping in the park on Danville Avenue in order to access Covid-19 and SASSA grants are also circulating on social media.

The sad thing is these people will continue to vote for the criminal syndicate

nope, you just like to pretend you don’t lie or post crap, and then ignore it and move on to the next bit of BS you can find when people actually call you out on it, you’re just a dumb troll.

It seems there were issues with that trial yes,

“Issues”, you’re a total knob, you know that? It was completely discredited as BS by the entire epidemiology industry, written by two people who had zero experience or qualifications.

Just fuck off with all your shit, you moron trumpanzee.

 

[Dave]

If the snake oil is shown to work, why not.

usually it’s the snake oil salesmen that show how well the snake oil works, but if these placebos make you feel better until the vaccine eventually arrives it’s only your money being wasted.

Unless you do actually decide to start drinking bleach, I suppose...

Once it's gone through a reputible, large enough multi-country double-blind placebo-controlled study, I'll consider using it. Therefore of all the new treatments being mentioned, that is accessible by me (i.e. readily available, oral, OTC, not IM or IV), I'll use Colchicine if I am Covid positive, rather than just lie in bed and hope for the best.

You’d be better off using the same medications you would get in hospital for respiratory problems, eg high dose steroids, bronchodilators etc.

If placebos make me better it's money well spent.

Bleach drinking is absurd. Not sure why you feel obliged to bring it up.

 

[Dave]

You could look at it that way, true. Maybe source a couple of boxes of steroids and something like Albuterol to put away with those placebos and it would be money better spent.

Can you get that for home use? By the time you have breathing difficulty surely you're better off in hospital?

Did you read the link I posted on the Colchicine study? It reduced the chance of ending up in hospital in the first place.

Look at you dishing out all this medical advice without hesitation with zero knowledge but call others who have actually conducted a study as having zero experience. Should we call you Dr Dave from now on Get the **** out of here.

Steroids are more expensive than OTC. Why get expensive meds when cheaper ones work?

 

[emam]

I'm waiting on an order of Ivermectin.

Will give feedback once I start it.
Tbh, I'm quite nervous to go on it, but, I guess, I've got nothing to lose.

Better tell the O to stock up on gout packs for when he gets gout, as it seems everyone is running out to buy it now because of covid....... I know he suffers terrible nausea and gets the runs on colchicine
