This is false. It replicates in the lungs and the throat.

"Active replication in the throat was confirmed by the presence of viral replicative RNA intermediates in the throat samples. We consistently detected sequence-distinct virus populations in throat and lung samples from one patient, proving independent replication."

And how does it get into the throat? Hmm. I wonder. It’s almost as if it would be convenient for a path to exist between the nose and the lungs. Hmm.

McCullough reported months and months ago how dentists had followed a protocol of using the golden, or original, Listerine mouthwash 3x a day as part of their protocol—and not had any Covid outbreaks.

And that stuff is gnarly: it’s not surprising that it would kill almost anything in your mouth!

Check this out, I can find links to support my cause too:

Phew, then I’m doing it right!
