Look hasn't posted since May, when he was told off by mods for posting about a Brazilian wonder drug that supposedly kills cancer. viewtopic.php?f=72&t=29132&p=408688#p408688 . His faith in ivermectin, a drug normally prescribed for parasitic worms, isn't shared by the European medical establishment for Covid (mild understatement - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-58170809). And he has repeatedly insisted that Brazil's vast covid mortality is caused in some mysterious way by doctors who are lining their own pockets by under-prescribing drugs. (At least, I think that was his argument?) Nothing to do with President Bolsonaro's behaviour at all.
I am, very sincerely, not trying to doubt the poor fellow's good intent - that would IMV be an unacceptable put-down. And yes, as sd very effectively argues, there is no place on these boards for making fun of people who don't have English as a first language. But medically unapproved "solutions" like these, which are considered ineffective at best, and fatally harmful at worst, need to be treated with a wider than usual degree of contextual caution. Okay, I'll shut up now.
