I will say this because it is not talked about enough, taking zinc LOZENGES will help right when you get sick because it stimulates the ADAM17 enzyme to cleave ACE2 off of the cells to make Soluble ACE2. The virus attaches to Soluble ACE2 and cannot enter the cell.

And it’s not to take it when you were sick, if you take it when you were sick it’s already too late. You have to take it at the very beginning of infection. It stops replication in the nasal pharyngeal passages.
Is the evidence? Yes.

If you are not a mental coward then debate me on the logic and the studies that back this up. The vaccines help, just as much as the flu vaccine does, and even vaccinated people (flu and covid) die from the virus.
Vaccines are great but you need to take some responsibility for yourself.
