This group is still promoting ivermectin and vitamin D supplementation for prophylaxis. I'd prioritize testing hypotheses from other groups that follow the latest research.

> vitamin D supplementation for prophylaxis

From this month:

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-022-24053-4

> Among VA patients, vitamin D3 and vitamin D2 supplementation reduced the associated risk of COVID-19 infection by 20% and 28%, and COVID-19 infection ending in death within 30-days by 33% and 25%.

This thread is about Long Covid treatments. State legislation was passed in Tennessee to make ivermectin available OTC.

Could you please recommend a link from any groups offering actionable protocols for Long Covid?

> This thread is about Long Covid treatments.

My point was why would you expect a group promoting a long-discredited COVID-19 prophylaxis to have a reasonable long COVID treatment? There are many clinical trials in progress testing treatments supported by better-grounded hypotheses. https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/results?recrs=&cond=long+covi...

From the ongoing lawsuit, https://archive.ph/rgssI

> Belfer, the government lawyer ... noted that the FDA’s pages say people can use ivermectin if their health care provider prescribes it, argued the statements “did not bind the public or FDA, did not interpret any substantive rules, and did not set agency policy"

I am missing your point. Can you please state it clearly?
