“That way I can fight. It's one of those things I can tell you. I talked to five doctors, if you go to the hospital because of COVID, don't be put on a ventilator. Do not do it. There are medications out there that I will post about later. They give you five of the medicines that take care of you and eliminate the disease. 15 of my friends took the same medicine,” he said Tito Ortiz, in a lecture in the United States.
