re: Nothing mentioned about zinc from the piece above. Without zinc, HCQ is not as effective
Are you referring to Zinc plus HCQ as TREATMENT for Covid-19 patients?
Or are you saying that to be an effective protective against Covid-19 infection, one must ALSO take Zinc together with HCQ?
People in this thread don’t bother to read the article. It is not talking about treatment but PROTECTION AGAINST INFECTION.

3 points.
1. Your comment. I noticed that as well although I would have said less effective without the zinc. Maybe much more less effective.
2. And some models of how HCQ works, my current favorite, is that it protects red blood cells from oxygen depletion by the virus. You can test positive and still be protected under that scenario.
3. As was pointed out, how about deaths? That is the real test. How many of these people died compared to the an equivalent number of those that were infected and did not use HCQ.
Hydroxychloroquine inhibits the late endosome transition to lysosome, which the virus needs for its processing after entering the cell and subsequent release of its RNA into the cell. It doesn’t require zinc. People are claiming that azithromycin is the one bringing zinc into the cell - don’t conflate the two.
