Oh bull. There are FDA approved medicines (Hydrochloroquine and Ivermectin) that have been repurposed that kills Covid. Since the patents have expired, these drugs are cheap and there’s no MONEY in it for the pharmaceutical companies.
right - things that didn’t work for wild virus, didn’t work for Delta, is going to magically work for Omi. Stop kidding yourself - how many ‘influencers’ lately who swore by kitchen remedies ran for monoclonals and didn’t care if it turned them polkadotted when death knocked on their door? Monoclonals give you the same odds as a vaccine against Delta but only temporary protection. If Omi takes it down to one monoclonal that’s effective, that’s not good news - for anyone.
If ‘cheap’ drugs are your criteria, the monoclonals and vaccines are free. But all drugs are made by pharm companies. The one you’re thinking of is probably made by Merck or Valaent Intl and rebranded. And they’ve made bank on the sales.

The HCQ claim comes from a 2005 PubMed paper on SARS-1. I posted a link to it here in spring 2020 some time before Trump ever mentioned HCQ. I figured his people must have found the same study.
The 2005 study was done in vitro on Green Monkey tissue. It killed SARS in the lab. But that kind of success doesn’t always translate to live humans. There was no chance to test it in vivo because SARS-1 had already died out.
When SARS-2 arrived, Covid-19, there were plenty of chances to test the effectiveness of HCQ in vivo. You can find the studies at PubMed. One case I recall in Vietnam, they used it as a prophylactic to see if it would protect nursing staff working directly with Covid patients. The nurses came down with Covid at the same rate as those not taking HCQ. It’s possible that it might help those who are not exposed to heavy viral loads like nurses are. If people want to try it they ought to be given the chance. It’s not a dangerous med. But it didn’t do what was hoped for it in 2005. It doesn’t cure Covid in live humans. And now there are effective therapeutics that do work, the MAbs being one group.
We are working on our second batch of homemade HCQ which we take daily with tonic water and a thousand supplements. So far not a sniffle.
Now Merck and Pfizer are coming out with pills, and of course, we don't really know what's in them. And they are still under patent, so the prices will be steep.
Getting pretty weary of a general public that can't see the $$$$$ in this thing. And climbing to a million deaths, most of them could have still been living with early therapeutics. I call that murder . . . or war . . . or both.
