How is any of that “misinformation” dangerous?
Are people going to get hurt putting condoms on their fingers?
IMHO the more dangerous misinformation are “facts” about the virus that are circulating online which are totally unsubstantiated (i.e. it can reinfect you up to 3 times after you recover, it kills by shutting down the part of the brain that controls breathing, etc.)
I read one article trying to discourage people from enhancing their Vitamin C intake which spoke of potential “lethal” doses of C. The only info I could find gave the LD50 for rats in metrics. Converted to US measurements 1/2 of a group of rats would die if they took almost 1/2 ounce of C per 2 pound rat. That would be like giving 2 pounds of C to a large woman or small man which might kill 1/2 of a group like that. So taking large amounts of tablets won’t kill you, and if you get the terrifying symptom of burning urine or acid farts, just take somewhat less.
I have taken 3 to 6 grams of Vitamin C daily for over 45 years and at 81 am in good health. I also took 24 grams of C in one day for a bad flu and never had urinary or bowel symptoms. Once while on a big camping event I met a woman suffering from the effects of 3 yellow jacket stings on her neck. Her eyes were swollen shut, she was choking and her whole body was somewhat swollen. I quickly crushed 10 grams of C in a glass of water. She was able to drink it and in 20 minutes her eyes were open, she was no longer choking and the body swelling was going down. I spent the next 8 hours with her giving her 5 grams every hour along with several other supplements I thought might help. Then she said she felt better and thought she could sleep. I left her with some additional C tablets and told her to take them as she felt she needed. She never complained of any excretory symptoms and I am told she hike out 3 miles the next day. The 3 Chinese clinical trials are using 24 grams of IV C in a day. I hope we will be allowed to hear their preliminary results before September.
Please remember that no CEO will be able to pay himself a $20million salary if he only sells Vitamin C, even if in large quantities.
