I believe that COVID is real, and is even slightly more deadly than the regular cold/flu, but is wildly blown out of proportion. If you hold this worldview, it seems perfectly reasonable to take additional medicines if you choose. It is completely reasonable to say that you shouldn't be afraid of a virus, but still take dedicated steps to minimize it when you get it.
Do what you want, but here's how the conversation with a WuFlu scaremonger will go down (and did go down with this Ethan Klein character):
I had COVID; wasn't that big a deal. Felt like crap a few days like I usually do when I get sick. Doesn't seem like the sort of thing we needed to shut everything down over
I see. What'd you take?
Oh, Ivermectin, monoclonal antibodies, HCQ. Threw the kitchen sink at the thing.
Cool. So you normally do that when you get a cold or flu, or was this a special thing?
Special thing.
So it's not a big deal, but you "threw the kitchen sink at it"? Seems kinda inconsistent.
Which is deflected by answering "yes I do this normally because I hate being sick any longer than I have to" or "no but I just learned about all this stuff and will be from now on because it's awesome"
