First, hydroxychloroquine was their alternative drug to treating covid. Then it was ivermectin. Now, time to buy stock in Viagra, because MAGAs are about to buy it all up.

(6,568 posts)why did they administer Viagra to some guy in a coma? Maybe they hoped he would rise from the dead?

Please verify that you wrote that on purpose.
It's too good to be accidental.

(10,827 posts)The story is about how the woman accidentally received a dose of viagra while in a covid coma instead of another drug, and she recovered. Now they are speculating that it can cure covid.
Okay. Knowing somewhat what Viagra does, the doctors might be on to something. But not as a cure. The new antiviral drugs plus a cheaper blood thinner (to cut down clotting) seems to me to be a more viable treatment option. Also taking the darned vaccine in the first place would prevent a lot of this too.
But when it comes to medical stuff I'll defer to the experts. I'm a delivery boy not a medic...

(53,394 posts)Y'see, it just so happens that John Smith took his dear grandpa to the hospital with the COVID, and a week later he was fine.
Grandpa told John, "they treated me with Regeneron, cocoa and Viagra."
John thought this was a strange cocktail, so he asked his grandpa's nurse about it.
"Yes, John, we treated your grandfather with those things. The Regeneron was to cure the disease, the cocoa was to help him go to sleep, and the Viagra was to keep him from falling out of bed."
