Quercetin is a zinc ionophore, provides the same service as HCQ. Needs zinc to work. Zinc is actually doing the work of interfering with viral replication.
HCQ is a medicine and does have side effects. Quercetin is found in onions, safer and needs no scrip to buy.
I always did like onion soup. Now I’m going to go bonkers. As a fun side take I can go into the grocerie store and stand next to some Karen or Ken and cut a nice ripe one.
