1. Their wacky ideas about treatment are never-ending.

[HAB911]

2. Good!

there's an election soon

[JustAnotherGen]

5. Shhhh

You said the quiet part out loud!

[HAB911]

8. oops

[COL Mustard]

34. OPSEC, MAB, OPSEC!!!!

Didn't you take your training this year?????

[HAB911]

40. LOL! Sir yes sir!

Crisp salute

[underpants]

3. Ooooh that burns

[zuul]

4. Betadine gargle every day. Sounds yummy.

And toxic.

[vercetti2021]

6. Next they'll be trying to inject themselves with elephant urine

Wait don't take my advice seriously lurkers!!!

[NightWatcher]

7. Go for it. Three shots of that down the hatch should work

We need this over with quickly and I'm to the point where I don't care how we get there. If they need to hurry up and sprint off this mortal coil for us to evolve and progress, then let them.


Either get on board or get out of the way.

[eShirl]

9. but don't call them stupid

[Joinfortmill]

10. These people are insane.

[MuseRider]

11. The one effective way to actually keep it at bay

and it is safe and THESE are the options they are taking. Now that is a super duper different kind of stupid. I will take the unproven and risky treatment based on my political place rather than the safe and proven treatment. WTH are these people doing? Really, I know this is something everyone has been asking forever and we all know they are drunk on FOX, OANN etc. but how could this many people be so dangerously stupid to themselves?

[nebby70]

12. well, at least ya'll see them coming ....

... betadine leaves a curious stain on tissue...

[Stinky The Clown]

13. At least it is a real thing. Ineffective and stupid for Covid, but actually real.

[Crunchy Frog]

14. They need to inhale it deeply into their lungs in order to get any serious benefit.

Anything else is just childsplay.

[ProfessorGAC]

15. Only Slightly Better Than Using Bleach

Povidone is a water soluble, polymerized pyrrolidone.
It's very water soluble, but not terribly susceptible to enzymatic breakdown. So, it passes through the system pretty easily.
But, Betadine is this molecule, coordinated with iodine & sodium (or potassium) iodide, in equilibrium. (The tertiary nitrogen atoms form a hydroiodide salt.). It is an iodine releaser.
It's the iodine that functions as a microbicide.
But, elevated iodine levels are very hard on the kidneys, and not great for the liver.
On top of that, iodine readily adsorbs through very soft tissues, like the inside of the mouth.
I still don't understand scoping out "cures" the going out to pay for it, in order to avoid a free vaccine.

[Jerry2144]

16. I heard that

Drinking two liters of Everclear at one sitting will also kill the virus. Unfortunately, it would also take care of the host

[Laurelin]

17. Better than drinking industrial bleach

Though nobody should take my word for that. I wouldn't do either.

I know some scientists thought there might be some potential benefit from gargling with mouth washes early in the pandemic, before there were vaccines. Gargling might have reduced viral loads against the wild variant, maybe. They weren't testing betadiene though, and I'd guess it wouldn't help against delta. I'm probably crazy just for wondering if they might have some reason for their latest inanity, really.

[Hav]

21. I still use mouth wash everytime I get back from shopping

Can't hurt and it actually might reduce the viral load. But there's absolutely no need to compare it to and consider a disinfectant that is intended to be applied topically. Of course, people who are serious weren't testing it for gargling.

[Ocelot II]

18. Too bad you can't get Mercurochrome any more.

It's got mercury in it, which is why you can't get it any more. And it stained everything red, which would be a nice thing for them to ingest because then their mouths would match their hats, at least until they keeled over from mercury poisoning.

[DEbluedude]

35. LMAO! n/t

[crickets]

37. I dunno, I have a hard time missing Mercurochrome.

That stuff stung like crazy - and yes, it stained everything. Your wound, your hands, the bathroom counter...

[BumRushDaShow]

38. They still sell it

I was shocked when I saw it probably 5 or 6 years ago at a local CVS. Of course it's now "mercury free" but still!

19. I saw "Vicks" trending on Twiter earlier today.

Apparently they're also consuming the VapoRub--just like their predecessors did during the 1918 flu pandemic. SMGDH.

[spanone]

20. Perhaps some Draino?

[Ohio Joe]

22. 'Let Them Die'

I'm ok with it now.

[Vinca]

23. Douche cocktails. Why am I not surprised.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

24. Some people say.....belladonna works much better.

Obviously, right-wing spell checkers are not working very well. Betadine subbed for belladonna is pretty bad.


KY.............

[Liberal In Texas]

25. Jeebus, it's IODINE !

What's next? Drinking molten metal?

[Wednesdays]

39. I was about to say...

What's stopping them from drinking straight iodine?

[modrepub]

26. Weren't We All Taught The Difference

Between viruses, bacteria and parasites back in middle school?!?

[Deep State Witch]

46. They Slept Through Science Class

The must have slept through science class. Or cut it. Or were too busy passing notes to their friends.

[Sogo]

27. Didn't I read that there are no more than about a dozen

"influencers" who are spreading most of the crap throughout the rwing? I'm sure they've come up with this latest quackery. Probably roll out a new one every few weeks.

[Hav]

28. At this point, I'm almost convinced

that there are trolls with bad intentions who just throw this shit out until some bs gets repeated enough. These idiots do everything to not take the vaccine. It's a dream scenario for trolls.

[pansypoo53219]

29. russians?

i bet they are suspicious of a FREE vaccine. charge them $10.

[Scrivener7]

30. As long as it doesn't infect other people, and they don't make their kids do it,

I don't care what they do.

[Blue Owl]

31. Softly and tenderly, Herman is calling...

[localroger]

36. Every time someone receives the Herman Cain Award

...an angel gets the hiccups.

[XanaDUer2]

32. Lol that brings back memories

it was always better than iodine on cuts, nowhere near as painful. I insisted on Bactine

[roamer65]

33. Natural selection at work.

Isn’t it amazing?

[lagomorph777]

41. I recommend they should drink it.

Chase it down with a shot of Clorox.

42. Acute kidney injury due to povidone-iodine ingestion

... A 47-year-old man who had apparently ingested povidone-iodine solution and presented with nausea, vomiting, and reduced urine output. Laboratory data revealed blood urea nitrogen of 124 mg/dL, serum creatinine of 6.3 mg/dL, impaired liver function, and leukocytosis. Urine iodine/creatinine ratio was markedly elevated ... Renal function recovered after hemodialysis and corticosteroid medication, but not completely ...

43. ... Betadine Antiseptic First Aid products should only be used to topically treat minor cuts,

scrapes and burns. The First Aid products should not be used as a gargle. Betadine Antiseptic products have not been demonstrated to be effective for the treatment or prevention of COVID- 19 or any other viruses ...

... Betadine Antiseptic Sore Throat Gargle is only for the temporary relief of occasional sore throat. Betadine Antiseptic products have not been demonstrated to be effective for the treatment or prevention of COVID- 19 or any other viruses ...

[jmowreader]

48. You know, guys...

...they tell me gargling hydrazine works pretty well at killing COVID. Just gargle with hydrogen peroxide, spit it out and gargle again with hydrazine. And the best part is, you only have to do it once!
