OTC not likely. It is often said that if aspirin was coming in as a new drug it would be prescription only. The problem is not just some of these things may be are unsafe in themselves, there are just too many interactions with existing things, some threatening.

It does not even matter if they are 'rare', we demanded safety from quacks and litigation and protection for people who don't do the research so a medical nanny state is what we got. I don't have a general practitioner right now but since I am at least one 'at risk' group -- if I did I'd surely seek them out to have a brief discussion on the topic

It may sound cruel but I am already prepared to ask intelligent questions and I would front a query to test how much research they are aware of (and judge sternly! It's not as if they'd have a good excuse now that there is nothing else to do) ... and because this tribal thing has become irrational, judge whether any debilitating symptoms of clinical TDS are present.

Corsi is an advocate of telemedicine and is affiliated with a network I know to be hydroxychloroquine-aware, which is no guarantee unless you are presenting clear symptoms

I consider myself fucked and medically off the affordable radar, but I do take quercetin and ZINC until case counts drop, not big doses but better than nothing. Considering adding an occasional copper supplement to counter any ZINC accumulation.
