The most recent large meta analysis of vitamin C on ICU patients showed no reduction in ICU stays or on mortality of ICU patients.
What this has to do with the colloidal silver claim, I'm not sure. Sounds like quackery though. Do you think the sellers would be willing to go to Wuhan armed with a bottle?

I know what he's referencing, but can't find a link at the moment. There were a couple NCBI studies showing IV VitC procedures being effective for recovering chemo patients. But the studies were questionable due to testing procedures and later discovered that the chemo procedure caused depleted levels of VitC to begin with. It focused on chemo patients, but has now been used by the quackery alt med crowd as a new cure-all. Same goes for the colloidal silver claims, except there's actually some
potential danger there with no proven benefits...
