I wish we had a more general "Quack remedies" thread. The charlatans seem to be coming out of the woodwork every week at the moment (example), perhaps as they sense that the vaccines may actually fix this and remove their money-making opportunity.
nezumi created a general quack remedies thread which is in Relaxation Station.

Would you also like a specific and more serious Covid Quack Remedies thread here?
No, that'll be fine, I'll check out that other thread. I guess I missed it because it wasn't in this subforum.

A letter about vitamin D which links to some maybe useful stuff.

A study about Vitamin D as a Covid treatment that was so terrible that hosting sponsor of the site where its preprint appeared took it down has now been published in an OUP peer-reviewed journal. It's still terrible (and quite possibly fake).

There's a general conspiracy theory one: viewtopic.php?f=19&t=1374
A Denialism one: viewtopic.php?f=19&t=2477

You could also start one (if you haven't already, I don't check this forum very often).
