Incredibly crafty by the malaria protozoa. I didn’t realize that was its method.
RE quinine and COVID-19, I thought it helped get zinc into the cell which disrupted viral replication. You’re saying that’s not the case, that it’s really about breaking down the cell wall so the virus is exposed to white blood cells, etc?
Anecdotal and experimental. Anything to avoid admitting it is effective for some cases.
“I thought it helped get zinc into the cell which disrupted viral replication.”
The zinc helps, but quinine goes after the cell membrane and breaks it down and allows the replicating viruses to be attacked, by the body’s immune system and the zinc.
