Know what tanstaafl i wish it was that simple.
Somehow i imagine the COVID 19 is somewhat more of a complex animal to contend with all the same.
As it stands Vitamin C has long been promoted in alternative medicine as a treatment for the common cold, cancer, polio, and various other illnesses, and yet plenty of those very same people who placed their faith in such still died from there conditions, forsaking other medical procedures and drugs that may have saved there lives.

She regularly collaborates with anti-vaxxers. She regularly speaks at conferences attended by anti-vaxxers.
She believes that diseases like Autism are caused by vaccines. If that doesn't make her an anti-vaxxer then I clearly don't know what an anti-vaxxer is.

just a PSA - for people who dont know how it works :
there are several metrics - for determining how important a scientists work is [ and how important it is regarded in the scientific comunity . but for brevity 2 are a good stance :
1 - awards recieved
2 - citations of thier work by others

Here it is:
Apologies for bumping an old thread, but I just found the original image that the fake brain scan was based on, and it was from 2010, which proves the video is a hoax.
In October 2009, we reported the first direct isolation of infectious xenotropic murine leukemia virus-related virus (XMRV). In that study, we used a combination of biological amplification and molecular enhancement techniques to detect XMRV in more than 75% of 101 patients with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). Since our report, controversy arose after the publication of several studies that failed to detect XMRV infection in their CFS patient populations. In this addenda, we further detail the multiple detection methods we used in order to observe XMRV infection in our CFS cohort. Our results indicate that PCR from DNA of unstimulated peripheral blood mononuclear cells is the least sensitive method for detection of XMRV in subjects' blood. We advocate the use of more than one type of assay in order to determine the frequency of XMRV infection in patient cohorts in future studies of the relevance of XMRV to human disease.
So, they were wrong?
The high degree of similarity to xenotropic murine leukemia virus suggests that a cross-species transmission event was likely involved in the evolution of XMRV.
