I'll take that as a "no, I can't find one" as you've been asked since February to furnish proof and still can't.

If that makes you happy, YAY!!!

It doesn't work and this article, published August 2nd, gives the best explanation as to why it doesn't work...

I read that report and did not see one mention of zinc. It’s essential that zinc and azythromycine be included in the regimen. Ivermectin and HCQ have a very narrow window when they are effective. Also the use of Vit D3 and C and methylprednisone is very important.
At this point everyone should be taking Vit D and C supplements and if you come down with covid symptoms move to the next steps.
Your positive test result will take at least a week to arrive. What you do in the meantime is up to you.

Sigh. Fine. Where's the link?
If you can't provide a link to back up your absolute certainty that it works with zinc and azythromycin then please stop with the promotion of it.
Personally, I'll go with the scientists who are running the testing and drawing the conclusions as opposed to a web board.

You can start with this. Although not a scientific study it points out the bias of Fauci and proposes a more reasonable approach to using HCQ.

That is really not what I had in mind when I look for factual information.
And you might want to consider your source next time...

Gotta get the politics away from this subject. Even though I’m left leaning I find it hard navigating all the bullshit out there. These meds are being used world wide but others don’t have the means to do research like first world countries do so their experiences are labeled “anecdotal”.
Doesn’t it suffice to say that in spite of the US pouring billions into the problem we have the worst results?

It's a pretty sweeping statement that "everyone should be taking vitamin D supplements". Being out in the sun gives you Vit. D. 10 minutes of sun exposure is adequate to give you the recommended daily dose of D. It may be advisable now to get more D than that, but in my case I get far more sun exposure than 10 minutes.

Get a blood test to determine if you need supplements.

I am in the sun a great deal and I was low on D. I was taking a daily vitamin that contained 150mg of vitamin C for 40 years and I tested low. Everybody is different. Lab tests will tell you what you should do. Yes its expensive but you know whats going on for real not a guess. I was shocked at the results. A year later I have a killer immune system and yes you can test for that also. I never get colds or flu type stuff anymore. Am hoping I can avoid the virus now but you can be different. Time will tell but who would have thought I would have a Vitamin C shortage while taking the daily recommended amount. Now I take 4 grams a day spread over the day. (don't take it at once or you might be on the john for a while) I also take 5000 units of D3 everyday. For me the sun was not enough. FYI I do take this stuff and lots more with the help of a holistic doctor in Guad. So I do get advice from an MD. Reading is good but it does help discussing all this with an educated doctor who is open minded.
