When it's taken to fight something that it doesn't fight, then you refer to it as what it's intended for.
Drink edible suntan lotion to help soothe your heartburn, and people are likely going to say you are drinking "Coppertone".
Take an anti-parasitic to prevent or cure COVID, and people are going to say you are taking "horse dewormer".
It underscores the stupidity of people who decry medical science, yet think they are smart enough to figure out how to cure or prevent disease on their own.
Avoid a vaccine, but be sure to: drink bleach, take Ivermectin, drink urine, pray to god, inhale hydrogen peroxide, use red soap to wash your hands for better cleaning, gargle with saltwater to kill the virus, use a USB "5G bioshield" memory stick, rub your hands with volcanic ash, be sure to use only white tissues and handkerchiefs, take a mix of
amphetamines/
cocaine/
nicotine, drink ethanol.
Yeah, these are all actual treatments/preventatives that people used and even sold.
