11. But, but it kills Covid at massively high doses in a Petri dish!1!

Sure, bleach, high levels of salt and a handgun shot at said Petri dish would have the same effect. Yet each introduce to a human body would end up with detrimental effects to a human if used at the same levels applied to the virus outside of the human body.

Still, the science shows it kills Covid!1!

Seriously, my head and heart both hurt for these people. This is just like hydroxychloroquine and oleandrin. Both were touted by these groups, and were the "cure" of the day in their time. Both were proven to be useless in studies after their fame was generated by unscrupulous medical sites.

Both of those previous "cures" had preprint studies which claimed they were a cheap, available cure. They weren't. As studies showed after the fact.

This current drug wasn't the "cheap" prevention for Zika infections as was hoped. Just one doctor used it as such, made a lot of claims and his claims were not replicated. People were scared of Zika then, rightly so, and wanted to believe. Not unlike now. If his claims some 4 years ago had been factual you'd have seen a massive push by the manufacturer to market the drug for Zika. Which never happened. Bunk.
