A readily available drug may help fight COVID-19

Laboratory studies indicate that a cheap generic drug reduces SARS-CoV-2 infection in human cells by up to 70%.

The drug, called fenofibrate, regulates cholesterol levels but also destabilizes the spike protein on SARS-CoV-2 and inhibits binding to human cells. It was effective against all the SARS-CoV-2 variants that the scientists tested in vitro.

An international effort — involving scientists from Keele University and the University of Birmingham, both in the United Kingdom, and the San Raffaele Scientific Institute in Milan — has found that a drug that people formerly used to control cholesterol levels could be an effective treatment against COVID-19.

The results of the study will appear in the journal Frontiers in Pharmacology.

Silver colloidal silver is by far the most potent antibiotic against all single cell organisms of which all viruses and bacteria are

The jury is not out on this subject is the federal government has white papers I call little silver being lethal 2/650 known pathogens bacteria viruses molten fungi

Silver is in tens of thousands of medical products approved by the FDA already

Because there’s no way that they can control silver it is a precious metal and that they can’t control electrostats which is a very easy process they just lie about it

But I’m just gonna be very clear here

colloidal silver kills all viruses and bacteria -if you use it regularly you will never get sick

Remember, since 2002 it was Fauci’s job to find drugs like this against SARS coronavirus infections, or develop new ones.

He did nothing.

He had 15 years to get treatments ready in case there ever were an epidemic like this. That is his job.

He didn’t just fail, he didn’t even try.

It’s a topical antiseptic

I feel for anyone taking fenofibrate to live. As their drug will soon be illegal, and out of stock everywhere, so they’ll have to find something else.

A virus is not a cellular organism, single or otherwise.

Carry on.
