Dr. McCullough has been recommending people use diluted povodone iodide solution for a couple years already. I've done this anytime I felt cold symptoms coming on and they usually disappear within a few hours. It's pretty much common sense, most bacteria and viruses for respiratory infections live in the upper respiratory tract and multiply there. Kill them at the source and your infection tends to resolve much faster...

>Dr. McCullough has been recommending people use diluted povodone iodide solution for a couple years already As a nasal spray? The wikipedia article describes it as being primarily used on skin. Is it safe to spray that into your nose?

    Apologies for hijacking your comment, but who or what flagged imperio59's relatively benign comment? I can't respond directly to that. Kind of weird that this was shut down so quickly.

      You can try vouching it by clicking on its timestamp and then "vouch". Both mods and the community have the power to flag comments; mod decisions can't be overridden, but community decisions can. The fact that it's [flagged][dead] instead of [flagged] implies that the community flagged it, though it being collapsed seems like a new change that might indicate moderator intervention.

      I didn’t flag it, but I probably would have. The doctor (Peter McCullough) mentioned has been very vocal in spreading debunked information, including: * Telling people to use Hydroxychloroquine to treat covid * Claiming that there’s no evidence of the novel coronavirus being spread asymptotically * Claimed without evidence that the covid-19 vaccines have been linked to hundreds of thousands of deaths worldwide And spread or supported basically every other heterodox-sphere conspiracy theory, including that it was a “plandemic”, ivermectin nonsense, etc. This is HackerNews, not ZeroHedge.
