Coronavirus: Pfizer jab 'stopping 91% of cases in first six months'

This nonsense we hear about “no flu deaths” (therefor: Conspiracy!!) comes because we have people who are either so ignorant or biased that they won’t realize or accept that COVID-19 mitigation efforts, clumsily and ham-fisted and overly onerously as they were laid on us in most cases..., plus voluntary efforts, are much more effective against flu than they are against COVID-19.

This doesn’t mean I agree with the gov’t mandates and such at all: I think mitigation cost was far too high, mainly because most of the directives came from people whose brains fossilized with the dinosaurs. We got mediocre mitigation at incredible cost: A typical gov’t result. But, that doesn’t mean COVID infection rates were not reduced in a mediocre way, and flu, more so. (Sorry for the double negative.)

“However, it is tricky to know what the safe dose of zinc if you are planning to take large daily amounts. I say no more that 20 mg daily and let your hamburger and oyster consumption make up any extra you need.”

Please stop offering me specific medical advice.

Both my own MD and FLCCC suggests higher amounts of zinc.

Yeah, you get it. Norovirus (stomach flu) outbreaks are pretty common every winter. There were about 750 such outbreaks reported in 2019. There were about 35 in 2020. Same reason-Covid mitigation.
