Fighting COVID disinformation

I know COVID is a bit of a hot topic this days so let me start by saying that everyone is free to do what they think is best for their own body.

However, while lurking on social media for the last few days/weeks, it's become apparent that some people are putting the lives of others at risk by trying to promote remedies and cures for COVID that have not been proven to work and multiple health agencies from various countries have issues warning against those medicines.

That why the other night I decided to do my part to fight disinformation by creating https://canivermectincurecovid.com/

I am not expecting to make any money out of it but it was a fun project and it really cemented my love for NextJs as a framework.

It was heavily inspired by https://istheshipstillstuck.com/

If you don't know the story, there is a real cool behind the scene article about this website: https://notfunatparties.substack.com/p/inside-a-viral-website

It gave me the inspiration to create a site that answer one question and 1 question only.

Honestly, I was really surprised that the domain I bought was available considering that the topic in question is pretty "hot" at the moment.

As I said above , I am not expecting anything out of this site. It doesn't cost me anything to run and is part of my journey to complete as many projects as I can before the end of the year.

Hopefully, out of all my crazy ideas, one of them will stick .

We shall see.
