I’ve been around many Trumpsters, folk to the right of the political spectrum, anti-maskers and anti-vaxxers in the past few days who have been promoting, proposing, demonstrating, discussing their “knowledge” of “TRUTHS” about the COVID-19 “conspiracy” and/or unproven treatments … and even snake oils. I wish that I could justify diving into and thoroughly studying truly-scientific research results and writing a succinct & credible fact sheet concerning this; however, it appears that such is not going to happen. (I have too many other things pulling at my time & energy.)
Personally, I support actions which are in the first two URLs below, i.e., vaccinations, masking, social-distancing, plenty of sleep and good nutrition, and exercise and other prudent health care habits (and antibody infusions and remdesivir if considered necessary by a good, reputable, knowledgeable, and intelligent health care provider).
I do suppose if I were in a seriously threatening situation concerning COVID-19, that I might grab for other unproven treatments such as ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine. However, OF COURSE! I would not consider for a moment, intake of sodium hypochlorite which Trump once (I think flippantly? … but dangerously) expressed. (I apologize for including this last stupid totally-psuedo-treatment proposed for action against COVID-19!)
