Using The Four Moves (SIFT) evaluate the following:

1)  Nebulized Hydrogen Peroxide as a treatment for COVID-19

2)  COVID-19 antibodies as better protection against the disease than vaccination

Statement made at a news conference on May 18, 2021 by Andrew Giuliani, candidate for Governor, New York state:
"The one good thing about the antibodies if you’ve had it, is it actually is even better than the vaccine, and here's why. With the vaccine you can still transmit, with the antibodies you can't transmit. So I can’t receive, and I can’t transmit. Obviously as that goes along, that reduction comes up, so there’s a certain amount of antibodies. I continue to get monitored every month on that." 

3)  Ivermectin as a treatment for COVID-19
