Title: Should school and university staff be given the option of prophylactic drugs?
Post by: set fair on 31/08/2020 14:08:20

I seem to remember that along with the abandoned hydroxychloroquine trial in the UK (the one where they overdosed patients with 1,600mg a day) they also had a trial giving hospital staff a prophylactic dose - I understand - ivermectin is claimed to be work as a preventative.

Do you make up your replies yourself BC or have you suped up your predictive text so that you just have to let it scan a post and the ap does the rest

No, I Actually think about my posts.
You should try it.

For example, rather than posting what you did, you could say something more useful; like nothing at all.
