Send all homeopaths to gulags.

Why? Why resort to something so exotic and strange? Why not just boil grapefruit peels and drink the resulting water (after it's cooled down) and at the same time take Zinc?

If you're not complimenting pharmaceutical COVID-19 treatment with homeopathy, you're making a mistake.

Of course homeopathy can cure the flu.
Anything that triggers the placebo response can cure it.

Vitamin C? Anyone can find a way to make ascorbic acid, not much money to be made there. Quercetin? Same thing. Zinc? Companies try to make fancy chelates, but still, not a lot of profit there. Hell, even artificial substances like methylene blue receive very little attention. MB in particular is very efficacious in fighting viral infections as well as malaria, has the studies to back it up, and still gets almost no attention compared to Remdesivir.
