I've posted before regarding my 92 y/o dad. My dad gets gout and suffers with it and it pains me to watch him deal with it. He started working when he was 13, was a lifer in the AF, worked when he got out, never stopped, even when he retired he always had a project. I go to his house early every morning, around 7 am. He said he could feel his gout coming on, as time progresses gout just gets worse. I have a stash of ivermectin at his house in case the need arises. I decided why not give him one, it can't hurt. Well hell, by the next morning the gout was gone. He said that has never happened...he was smiling. He has to deal with this every couple months so I'm going to stay on top of this and hope this is the answer.

Nice switcheroo. Parasites are not called obligate viruses...viruses are called obligate parasites. Those two statements are not even remotely the same thing.
And I'll definitely check out the emoji that was chosen by your iThing. I'm sure that will be more than enough hard evidence to override 30+ years of hands-on experience working in virology labs researching treatments for actual viruses such as herpes and COVID.
