I confess I felt a moment of divine justice when I read this report about dumb scientists proposing a ludicrous DIY home remedy for curing coronavirus. Apparently all you need to do is eat anti-acids in absurdly dangerous quantities or inject them intravenously. It's almost as if these guys said the first thing that came into their heads after watching a TV advert for diet pills and an episode of House and somehow conflated the two in a sleep-deprived haze of fact and egomaniacal fiction. Then spent millions of tax dollars chasing after a looney-tunes half-baked scheme that most people thought was an April Fool's joke.
Well, joke's on you today scientists, ha ha.
Why is it that people these days believe everything can be solved by a ©1-Trick dietary modification? Which you can conveniently purchase directly from the source without a prescription? Cancer? Vitamin C. Allergies? Gluten-free pasta. Arthritis, fatigue, irritable bowel, reflux, chronic allergies, eczema, psoriasis, autoimmune disease, diabetes, heart disease, migraines, depression, attention deficit disorder, and occasionally even narcissistic personality disorder? PM me for details.

A nearly $21-million government-funded study to see whether a popular over-the-counter heartburn medication could be a COVID-19 remedy has fizzled amid allegations of conflicts of interest and scientific misconduct, according to interviews, a whistleblower complaint and internal government records obtained by the Associated Press
In mid-April, the Trump administration funded a study of famotidine, the main ingredient in Pepcid, despite a lack of published data or studies to suggest heavy doses would be effective against the novel coronavirus. When government scientists learned of the hastily produced proposal to spend millions in federal funding on the research, they considered it laughable.
