A potential new Covidiot craze: nebulized MMS\* (chlorine dioxide) to prevent or treat Covid-19. This substance is already administered orally or as an enema by the credulous to supposedly cure autism, infections and other ailments and has recently been promoted for Covid-19. It’d be a natural step for idjits to start inhaling it.\*\* \*“Miracle Mineral Solution”, a.k.a. industrial bleach. \*\*they can point to a paper from a decade ago proposing that low gaseous concentrations of chlorine dioxide are antiviral and allegedly safe to breathe. Unfortunately they only tried it on mice. 🤔 ---

The superspreader link is to the _Washington Free Beacon_ which [mediabias.com](https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/washington-free-beacon/) rates _mixed_ in truthiness. As is usual for conservatives, Mr. Cromwell is talking out of both sides of his ass at the same time. On the one hand, football crowds – long noted for their sobriety and restraint – aren’t superspreader events. OTOH they will end the pandemic. How is left as an exercise for the reader. ---

Cromwell’s argument is essentially: The pandemic is a farce, a made-up charade. Having huge crowds at football games will put an end to the charade and show that there was never a virus threat to begin with. Sigh… ---

> [@Magiver](#): > > BLM organizer is saying it’s a racist mandate And she’s entitled to her opinion, even though it’s wrong. I have seen zero evidence that shows that the mandate wouldn’t be in place if blacks were vaccinated at a higher rate than whites. While the Newsomes have done much good, if your organization is named “Black Lives Matter”, you need to be pushing hard to get black people vaccinated today. If de Blasio is throwing up barriers to that, then I’ll yell and scream with you. If he’s trying to keep people alive and incentivizing vaccines, you’re on your own. ---

Friend on Facebook posted that her family mostly has Covid. Her husband got it between his first and second shot, and having a hard time. She had both shots and is still, sick but not nearly as bad. The older child, who was vaccinated, has been negative, but the younger one is mildly sick. In five hours and ten comments since the post went up there are: - Two recommendations for ivermectin - Three recommendations for vitamins - The “cocktail” (ask your doctor, I’m told) - 10,000 IU of vitamin D - 4,000 IU of vitamin D combined with C - One recommendation for Z-packs - One for monoclonal anti-bodies - One for monocoloidal anti-bodies - One family that got it in February 2020 - One family that got it because of the shedding from the vaccine one of them received - Zero offers to drop off groceries, run other errands, collect school homework, etc. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/share-your-covidiot-stories/852854.md?page=61) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/share-your-covidiot-stories/852854.md?page=63)
