HCQ is an oxidizer. Simple viruses do not have a complex system designed to protect against oxidizers. This is why they have no protection against HCQ, doesn't matter what virus it is.
We know that the immune system is the single best defense anyone has. Vitamin D and Zinc will be very helpful because if you are deficient in either of these your immune system is weakened. This is true for Covid19 as much as for any virus.
The viral load is critical. In other words when you are first infected is it with a single virus floating in the air or did someone sneeze into your face hitting you with 2 million virus? It doesn't matter Covid, Flu, or the common cold. This is why outdoor events are not super spreader events and all the super spreader events are traced back to an indoor situation (bar, restaurant, etc). The wind blows the virus away, outdoors you have exponentially more air for the virus to be spread out in, and the virus only lasts for about 15 minutes in the sunshine so it doesn't accumulate. This is true of Covid as well as any other virus.
We also know that when we have a vaccine that is leaky, meaning it doesn't fully protect you from future mutations then we know the vaccine will be most effective if we use it sparingly. If you reserve this for 5% of the population that is most at risk you will not create an environment that favors the mutations. But if you give it to 80% you have created an environment that will favor Delta and Omicron variants.
All of these things were well known prior to this pandemic.
Wow, I'm impressed, here I thought you were all shots from the hip lol. No, I'm with you on 90% of this.
Simple viruses yes. But if this is a lab rat gone rogue, who knows what other functions they gained it with? They're certainly not going to tell us that. That's why I hold a question mark here, until we know 100% it didn't come from Wuhan, we can't count anything out.
And outdoors, yes there would be less transmission but in a densely packed crowd there's still an exposure. I figure if I'm close enough to smell them, I'm close enough to be exposed. And expose.
Vaxes, you're right there. A non-lethal dosage just makes bugs stronger. We had a chance to present a lethal dose, but that was at the very start... and now we don't have that ability any more. I won't get a booster without getting an antibody count first. That's how my wife's Dr is handling it, since she had covid last November she's been testing antibody levels and so far they're staying high. (As opposed to all those who preach natural immunity but never bother to see if they actually have it.) So no vax needed for her. Seems the smartest way to go to me.
ZDoggMD did a blog on the effects of viral load reduction. The amount of exposure is definitely a factor. But people don't get that. In so many things these days, it's all or nothing. There's no gradient.
I'm glad you get that
