Zinc was not mentioned. Is this entire study a straw man? “Debunking” HCQ, used by itself, when the actual claim is that HCQ/zinc/azithromycin (or other antiviral antibiotic) is effective.
Exactly, Coloradan — no zinc. On its own HCQ does NOT knock out coronaviruses. That’s the job of the zinc. The HCQ simply tricks the virus into creating an opening for the zinc, which can’t otherwise get inside the viral particles.
Exactly. I would rather see a 3 arm trial which included the combo and far more participants.
And UofP employs Zeke Emmanuel in its’ medical division. And I do not trust an organization that would do that.
It has to be the Hydro cocktail. Every one of these studies that had Hydro as being useless have been with Hydro alone.
Zinc is the missing ingredient in every one of these trials of HCQ a a preventative. Normal daily intake of zinc is less than 10 mg, but a therapeutic dose of at least 50 mg of zinc as ionic zinc is more than enough to overwhelm the corona virus even in heavily contaminated environments, where there is a high concentration of COVID-19 Wuhan virus circulating in the air.
Masks and even face shields are virtually useless in preventing the virus spores from being inhaled, under conditions of heavy contamination in the air.
Give your immune system a chance to act to resist the virus, and the infection will never rise to the symptomatic level.
Zinc is not appopriate for long term prophylaxis. Zinc is a poison and its action to inhibit the virus also inhibits normal RNA synthesis which is why the cell walls are designed to reject it. HCQ defeats this mechanism and allows the Zinc ions into the cell which disrupts the RNA replication of the virus. This is cool, but as a long term thing.. it will kill you.
