I have an acquaintance who was convinced paint thinner was the cure / prevention for COVID. Any opportunity to talk about it, ANY, and he was on top of the world.
“They” don’t want you to know about toluene, but supposedly his buddy works in a top secret government facility and tested it out and the stuff kills COVID instantly in a test tube.
Anyway, needless to say, he’s one of those people that latches on to random conspiracy theories, so although it’s irritating most of the time, it is occasionally entertaining. Doesn’t talk so much about COVID cures anymore, but blames his long COVID symptoms on the fact that other people were vaccinated and shed the vaccine in/on him. It’s been awhile since I heard the details of how that works.
