A scientific study reaches a conclusion

A short list of things that don't work...

According to the fake news media, (and always remember if you don’t like the news, it must be fake) the National Institutes of Health and the World Health Organization have ended their studies of hydroxychloroquine.

The people who actually look for scientific evidence before declaring a drug a “game changer” have concluded that hydroxychloroquine provides “no clinical benefit” to people suffering from the coronavirus.

That news item led me to look up other things that have proven ineffective against COVID-19 and the list was long:

Virus Shut Out protection pendants, Arsenic album (which sounds like a greatest hits collection of a death metal group), colloidal silver which it turns out is not an effective treatment for anything unless you’re looking to turn your skin blue, tooth paste, dietary supplements, light treatments, hand creams, volcanic ash, hydrogen peroxide inhalers – there’s even an “anti-coronavirus’ mattress available for people with too much money and not enough sense.

Some people are claiming cannabis works, but I’m not sure if they’re claiming it prevents the coronavirus, cures the coronavirus or – if you smoke enough weed – you just won’t care about the coronavirus.

There have even been claims that snorting cocaine helps because it will sterilize your nostrils, which is untrue and ignores coke’s serious side effects like having long, high-speed, meaningless conversations, none of which you will remember in the morning.

The list of fake cures that I looked up is way longer than the list I provided here, but if you’re looking for things that have proven to be ineffective against the coronavirus – as today’s cartoon suggests – you should add Donald Trump to the list.

Stay safe, everybody.
