If quality, randomized, peer reviewed evidence appears and it is then approved by regulatory authorities for use in treating or preventing covid disease I'll change my view . That's how science works. I did not study science, virology, epidemiology or medicine at university. I trust that between them they can work out what is fact and fiction . And what works and when, on what disease and pass that on to regulatory authorities.
The efficacy of drugs or interventions is not and should not be decided by one's political leaning, which this has become . Listen to actual experts that spend life times trying to fix and prevent disease.
