what’s interesting is he was double dosed and boosted but still got pretty sick. He was in the hospital 4-5 days and they gave him steroids, breathing treatments and IVs….don’t know if he received any other therapeutics. Here’s where it gets a little interesting.

His wife is the same age, she too is double dosed and boosted and it’s only those two in the house but she didn’t come down with Covid19. She told the wife the other night she takes zinc, vitamin B complex, C, D3, E, turmeric, curcumin, and maybe some other supplements…..she never came down with Covid19. Her husband doesn’t take any supplements/vitamins. He is also slightly diabetic, smokes less than a pack of cigarettes a day, is relatively thin and has been pretty healthy for an 80 year old.

I wonder if the wife taking the vitamins/supplements is why she didn’t get Covid19? Strange virus y’all.

It’s an unpredictable bioweapon engineered by China with American funding. Completely random how it affects people. Who it affects.

There are therapeutics now that defeat it easily though.

Think how much worse it would’ve been if he hadn’t gotten vaccinated and boosted.

The vax is the illness. Still never isolated Covid.
Lies lies and more lies.

The OP wasn’t about sympathy or concerns for my neighbor, it was to illustrate the Covid19 vaccines are apparently marginally effective and also the possibility the neighbor’s wife didn’t contract Covid19 because she was taking several vitamins and supplements that seem to be effective in reducing the chances of contracting Covid19 or keeping the infection from becoming severe.

All those severely I’ll with Covid are vitamin d deficient it would be nice if cdc told you that but then there’d be a shortage of vitamin d.

Healthy, happy, unworried, fresh air = safe

Unhealthy, scared, worried, masked, isolated = covid

There is no proof at all that it's even contagious human to human. Be healthy and live your life.

My DIL who didn’t take any vitamins/supplements got Covid, my son took same vitamins/supplements as this lady and didn’t get it, they were together in a small house for the duration. I don’t know...... like to think the vitamins/supplements fortified his immune system that protected him.

No it isn’t. It impacts obese people much more than others. Covid is so benign now most people who aren’t obese don’t even know they have it or it is a case of the sniffles

Vaccine is also useless against the current strains of Covid.

Strange. I have the same thoughts about the seasonal flu. I can be around people all the time with it and not get it. If I get a flu vax though....I'm a lock for getting the flu.
