IMO it should be IVM + zinc + vit d3 then only vit c etc ....For that to work, you need intervention plus Vitamin C.

Still no published paper.
Also, question why is no control group present
So the study actually show is that providing iodine might work as preventive, however, HCQ arm was underpowered due to sample size and people dropping out (out of fear of side effect).Thanks to Intrinion in my FF Infractions thread

Positive impact of oral hydroxychloroquine and povidone-iodine throat spray for COVID-19 prophylaxis: An open-label randomized trial
Don't know what this study is supposed to tell us. You have to administer the drug every day for 42 days, 20% chance of getting a random side effect, and it's tested against one attempt of infection. It does not say how long this antibody protection lasts until the effect wears off, doesn't say against what strain, doesn't say how you're going to re-protect yourself a second time once the protection wears off. It was tested for a very narrow demographic, not generalisable at all, and did not check at all for asymptomatic infections. What a waste of time and money.Thanks to Intrinion in my FF Infractions thread
