The person who wrote the article is NOT a medical doctor. That is a fact. If you disagree with it, it will still be true.

The Spanish Flu ended on its own, as most virii do over time. There was no cure for it, and treatments for it were hit or miss with each patient. Some survived with treatment, some survived without treatment. Some died with treatment, and some died without treatment. It didn't matter what treatment was used - it was a virus that ravaged the immune system. It wasn't cured by sunlight. That is FALSE information. You can disagree with this fact if you want, but it will still be false information.

Hobday is a pseudoscience writer. Being published doesn't change that, and in fact the peer reviews on any of his sunlight-as-cure papers are less than complimentary, as a whole. He is not a credible source.

Saying sunlight was a valid treatment for the Spanish Flu is sort of like saying that diving into a vat of bleach is a valid way to get an ink stain off of your shirt.
Not every medical professional is a Doctor. No one said the Spanish Flu was cured by sunlight but many of those who received more sunlight exposure did recover while many who did not died. Your saying sunlight does not help denies the proven medical science that flu and other corona viruses do dissipate as temps warm with more sunshine. You don't like the guy, fine. but he does quote actual fact.
