The leading infectious-disease expert, Dr Anthony Fauci recommends that people take vitamin supplements, especially with the schools resuming operations between COVID-19 pandemic, and the flu season nearing.

Key Highlights

Dr Anthony Fauci, in an interview revealed that he consumes vitamin D and C supplements to reduce his susceptibility to infections

He said he recommends that people should consume these supplements

(Cut)

For the uninitiated, Dr Fauci is the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases in the USA. Speaking with actress Jennifer Garner in a social media live interview, Fauci mentioned that he himself takes vitamin C and vitamin D supplements to reduce susceptibility to infection, and suggests others to do the same, reported the Insider.

"If you're deficient in vitamin D, that does have an impact on your susceptibility to infection. I would not mind recommending, and I do it myself, taking vitamin D supplements," he said. "The other vitamin that people take is vitamin C because it's a good antioxidant, so if people want to take a gram or so of vitamin C, that would be fine."

Heartfelt thoughts and prayers for you.

Fauci lied about not needing masks. Now he withheld information on taking a cheap readily available supplement that could save lives.

[Chauncey Gardiner]

Not surprise if vitamin C and D have more side effects than HCQ.

[cba123]

Wow.

Keep us updated please.

Sounds like you’ve got it pretty well covered.

[umgud]

Thanks

“just as good...” EXACTLY. THANKS, MAGA. Names, names. Also some new information there.

I had to step out to go get some supplies for a wife not feeling well. She wanted Alka-Seltzer + cold & flu symptoms, crackers and water. I told her that I won’t take her to a hospital. Monitoring temp & bp. Got the ‘rona? Shush I shouldn’t say that too loud. On a plus note at least I get to run the house today with 2 dogs and 2 cats to drive me nuts...in & out...in & out... This should be interesting as I am a 1 beer a day total slob kind of guy.

Me...I’m feeling fine...

Life is good in a Free Republic. A LOCKED DOWN REPUBLIC...not so good.

Thanks, MAGA

You are a Freeper. If you payed attention you should have been taking large doses of Vitamin D3 for the last ten or so years.

It’s amazing to me how you could have missed all the vitamin D3 threads. Perhaps Fauci is a closet Freeper

There is so little active ingredient in the tonic water that you really need several liters a day to get close to something workable.

Do consider taking quercetin, at a 1,000 mg dose, though.

Take that zinc (it’s what we take), Vitamin D3, and for Vitamin C, use a time or sustained release version. Vitamin C normally gets excreted within two hours or so, otherwise, leaving you “C-less.”

If you don’t mind adding to it, take a multivitamin/multimineral that has selenium, Vitamin B12, and magnesium. It is believed NAC (N-acetyl cysteine) also helps and benefits from a sustained release, too.

for your amusement...

Any side bets on hydroxychloroquine and zinc as well?

Bring Out Your Dead

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

The false positive rate was 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

If a quarantine saves just one child's or one old fart’s life, it's worth it.

Government: STAY INSIDE

*Get bad Covid symptoms due to low vitamin D from no sun exposure*

"I tested positive for Covid yesterday."

Here is the treatment protocol posted to Dr. Zev Zelenko's twitter page:

Dr. Zelenko popularized the use of Hydroxychloroquine and Zinc. He brought it to Trump's people.

[GnuThere]

Why is he mentioning this now, gearing up for the virus cure on Nov 4?

[Amendment10]

"He said he recommends that people should consume these supplements"

If that’s what Dr. Fauci said, thanks for the “timely” advice. /sarc

[Veto!]

I take 1500 grams of Liposomal C (more readily absorbed),
Zinc picolinate,
D3 in the form of Carlson’s wild Norwegian cod liver oil,
iodine in the form of ground kelp,
vitamin A,
and quinine drops in tonic water.

[Nifster]

I didn’t miss it.

I didn’t think I needed to include a sarcasm tag

[who knows what evil?]

...like many Freepers have been saying since the dawn of time? And he gets HOW MUCH in salary for dropping these little gems?

[umgud]

I started hydroxy-q,zinc and vitamins proactively many days prior to receiving the positive results. I also started a Z-Pak. So far, my symptoms are mild. I hope it stays that way.

Like Dr Stella Immanuel requested....

I WANT TO SEE FAUXCI’S URINALYSIS.....to prove he’s NOT on HCQ!!
