Some of these treatments have very low risk profile. Ivermectin, Zinc, Vitamin D, are basically harmless to take.
For example, if the 50+ studies are wrong that Ivermectin offers benefit, than at worse it does nothing, but a good chance based on the studies that it does offer a benefit.
- azinman2 5y agoThe ivermectin stuff is absolutely not harmless. People are taking it instead of seeking medical attention or getting vaccinated, and that’s leading to both a prolongation of Covid and serious harms to individuals and the people around them (and the people around them and so on).
- dukeofdoom 5y agoThan it's not ivermectin that is harmful. It's not seeking other medical attention. Which is logically a different thing. People self medicate because they are afraid of hospital costs. We don't blame the hospitals for people self medicating.
- azinman2 5y agoI don’t think it’s the hospital costs here. There’s a very strange ideological war going on about a virus with plenty of (dis)information online telling people that vaccines aren’t safe or otherwise bad, and the government is purposefully hiding these “miracle” drugs from people. There’s no shortage of finding advice for taking it prophylactically, for example. It’s HCQ 2.0.
