WilsonPaige is right (if not always for the "right" reason):

"Coronavirus Chloroquine & Zinc Treatment":

Why did you delete most of wilsonpaige's posts? All he did is put two things together and come up with an idea that will apparently work. So he's kinda in Neils Bohr's situation with the hydrogen atom: it works, it only works here, I don't know why it works, but it works! Isn't that the essence of creativity?

Why the dunning and shunning? If the women in reasonable shoes on this bbs had any creativity we wouldn't be in a jam with Covid.

Is wilsonpaige so different in this regard from Elon Musk? Musk posts re quinone and is praised and his ideas spread. Wilsonpaige at first doubts the quinone solution, then within hours finds confirming studies, adds to it his experience with zinc antivirals and comes up with a better solution (albeit one w/o an underlying mechanism). Now you've torn his posts up and thrown them away.

Shame!
