Yes, it's amazing that people think they are qualified to hold forth. Look at Relman in PNAS.

"Data shows that the higher spice-intake countries also have higher recovery rate and lower-mortality than the lowerspice-intake individuals, presumably due to the antibody production.""In contrast, frameshift-type mutation (which tends to have deleterious effect in the protein 3D structure)predominates in the higher spice-intake individuals resulting in higher-recovery / lower-mortality rate, presumably due to attenuated (weaker) coronavirus."
