I feel you're missing the point, OK, I grant all of what you said is true and it doesn't change anything. COVID isn't a parasite. Therefore, it is just as effective against COVID as snake oil, or horse dewormer. To imply it is useless in the case of COVID by labelling it as such is not misleading at all.
Going back to your analaogy. If a person is using the contraceptive as a contraceptive then calling it "gorrilla birth control" I agree is silly. However if the person is using the contraceptive to cure cystic fibrosis, then the person is silly and to call it "gorrilla birth control" would be a fun way of highlighting that fact. It could even be an award winning contraceptive of you like, wouldn't change anything.
Please listen to what I'm saying, if I can accept all of what you say is true and it doesn't disagree with my point then we are not having a conversation. You are talking past me and it's silly.
