Currently, irrespective of whether you are vaccinated or not, If you catch covid, and become very sick at home, and call your GP, there is no allowable treatment for the disease.
Again back to reality and away from stupid...

Like the flu and other viral diseases there are symptom management drugs that can be prescribed for pain, fever and rest. If you are suffering covid in a mild case just take Panadol (paracetamol) to reduce fever and ache, or get a prescription for stronger stuff. So like cold and flu you just ride it out and take symptom alleviating drugs for that purpose. If the symptoms progress beyond that and you are feeling particularly bad, you go to hospital, you don't take a course of horse wormers. At hospital they will administer a variety of drugs such as steroids, tocilizumub, remdisivir, barticitinib various anti coagulants and other drugs to treat whatever symptomology you present with. Budesonide an asthma drug has proven to assist lung function recovery post covid.

There are a variety of drugs approved for the purpose of treating covid symptoms.

Ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine were administered en-masse in India up to about 3 months ago as part of hospital treatment. It was found they had little to no effect so they were taken off the list and removed from treatment schedules, along with a few other drugs that offered little to no value. I used the word schedules as I reiterate at what stage you administer some of these drugs is vital to maximise their effect and reduce dangerous side effects. Hence no one should be trying to self administer any of them, please don't go and buy horse steroids to treat yourself...

The India situation was sad as a number of people died due to the drugs they were given rather than the disease itself, ie black fungus from incorrect steroid treatment.

So to repeat what I have said before - Natural immunity seems to be better than getting vaccinated, but getting one jab after natural immunity is better again.
Actually Israel has proven the opposite, vaccinated population are at least 30-40 times less likely to get severe symptoms within 6 months of vaccination, and this is also in consideration that they are exposing themselves to the virus and not taking significant precautions.

Good luck going against a Univeristy of Sydney actual study on the subject;

https://www.sydney.edu.au/news-opini...variants-.html

“What this work has shown us is that current observations about vaccines show they offer a much broader protection against COVID-19 and its variants than the body’s natural immune response following infection, which is usually only protective against the variant of the virus that the person was infected with. We, therefore, should not rely on the body’s natural immune response to control this pandemic, but rather the broadly protective vaccines that are available.”
So please just stop the stupid and go get vaccinated so we can get back to flying.....
