Ubiq -“100 mg Zinc acetate PO. These were outpts .
I saw the Jama study . No surprise, reports what IVe seen first hand (though no mention of Zinc , which (almost?) all the inpatients IVe seen were prescribed”
SORRY – Not enough Zinc!
You need at least 200mg/day PO for Covid19.

“The fool who wrote this comment (FYI – not posted) is clueless to the fact that Hydroxychloroquine is NOT in any way, shape, or form an antiviral medication.
Hydroxychloroquine is a zinc ionophore.
It is literally a synthetic “doorway” (transporter) that allows extracellular zinc to pass into the cytoplasm, so the ZINC can destroy the virus. THE ONLY SCIENCE HERE, IS THAT ZINC IS THE ANTIVIRAL. Your cell membrane has naturally occurring membrane transporter proteins specifically for zinc, called zip proteins. A zinc ionophore’s function is to create additional passages into the cell for zinc. This enables a cell to load up with zinc faster, than it normally would. Quercetin (another ionophore) and CoQ10 perform the same function as Hydroxychloroquine, without any toxic side effects. The study cited, can not stand up to scrutiny. It was not a double blind study. The test group was significantly younger than the control group. Death occurred, disproving any efficacy of the “findings”. Numerous people that started the study, were removed from the final data. The list goes on. Other double blind studies were conducted in two separate countries, and found “anectdotal” results at best. Currently, Doctors are prescribing 220mg of zinc sulfate (5 x RDA), with Hydroxychloroquine to FALSELY “prove” HCQ is an antiviral. Zinc has been proved for decades to inhibit intracellular viral replication, with or without supplemental transportation assistance. Without ZINC, Hydroxychloroquine is ineffective in fighting a virus.
Hydroxychloroquine is NOT an antiviral, neither are any other ionophores, or zip proteins, or Coenzymes. Anyone can research ionophores (synthetic and natural), and ZIP proteins as well, to verify my claims”
