Anti-COVID-19 Vaccine Police leader Christopher Key has a new quarter-baked conspiracy theory for his anti-vax followers to use to cure themselves of COVID-19: Drink their own urine.
The antidote that we have seen now, and we have tons and tons of research, is urine therapy. OK, and I know to a lot of you this sounds crazy, but guys, Gods given us everything we need, Key said in a video posted over the weekend on his Telegram account after being released from jail over a trespassing charge.
This has been around for centuries, he added. When I tell you this, please take it with a grain of salt, the anti-vaccine advocate warned while saying people might now think he is cray cray.
Now drink urine! he continued. This vaccine is the worst bioweapon I have ever seen, he concluded. I drink my own urine! Reached for comment by The Daily Beast on Sunday night, Key doubled down on what he calls urine therapy and railed against foolish people who took the COVID-19 vaccine, which is safe and effective.

A bunch of malicious misanthropic basement dwellers.

"Bet you $1 I can get suckers to drink their own pee!". " No way!". "Well, let's get this out there, & see what happens! You're going to owe me a dollar."

Goobers, they sure know how to get the party started.
Kind of gives a new meaning to being wasted.

(76,155 posts)Ingestion is a very low rick cause of infection.
The HCl & peptic enzymes are VERY hard on the lipid layer of many viruses. Once that layer is gone, the protein is very susceptible to oxidation or hydrolysis.
Once the viral protein is ruined, so is the virus.
Pretty darned unlikely.
Besides, I don't want to dissuade the suckers from trying this "cure".

(150,887 posts)It's so transparently stupid. You can get vaccinated at no cost and very easily these days. There is zero evidence that drinking your own urine will protect you, because it won't. There is enormous evidence that getting vaccinate will protect you from hospitalization and death. So, doing some crazy thing instead is so absolutely stupid that only crazy people will buy into such things.

Some guys are playing can you top this? games to see what outrageous falsehoods Qanons and American reactionaries can be scammed into believing next. Considering the numbers of All-American idjits more than willing to believe in pee, viagra, and horse dewormer, Id say that the trolls are still on a roll.
