If you think that, you dont know what youre talking about. Azithromycin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic. It works on bacteria. Bacteria ONLY. It has zero ability to kill or inactivate viruses. no antibiotic does.
In actual fact, viruses are not really living things. They are not alive by the definition we use to define living. They dont eat, excrete, or respirate. They process no energy. Near as we can tell, they dont respond to stimuli. Theres nothing to kill. A virus can be disrupted, broken, but is that killed? The one thing a virus does that makes it appear living is it reproduces. But theyre copy machines.
Viruses are free wandering pieces, strands, of RNA or DNA unchained to an organism. If the virus breeches a cell wall, that RNA or DNA does as its chemically intended to do. It makes duplicates.
Theres a lot of argument about whether or not a virus can truthfully be called "life", or are they chemical reaction engines, following fairly easily understood rules. It seems more the latter.
Another thing about using azithromycin or any antibiotic is that the bacteria eventually become resistant to them if not used properly. You wouldnt want to take azithromycin as a prophylactic, especially when a virus is what you want to target.

That does not mean that azithromycin is effective against COVID-19.
ou are right that Azithromycin is NOT the UNIVERSAL cure for Covid. Its main role is to protect against a bacterial infection in Covid weakened lungs. Dr. Zelenko had only ONE lung so he was very concerned about this phase of the Covid illness.
However, you should have added that the element Zinc once it gets into an infected cell is very capable of stopping the viral reproduction of Covid. The main role of HCQ or Quercetin is to act as an ionophore and help get the zinc into the Covid infected cell. THere are also other ionophores which could also be used like EGCG from green tea or resviritrol from red wine. Although these are probably not as effective as HCQ or Ivermectin.
