Even though many breaktroughs have been made, I don't think all pieces are in place yet. Anyway, we need HCQ or quercetine to get the zinc into our cells. But even then, in early Chinese in vitro studies of many traditional and cheap off patent drugs (the kind of throwing spaghetti against the wall and see what sticks) many compounds, like ivermectin and HCQ were promising. (I remember artemisia and praziquel, but there were many more, a lot of them not even with western names). We have not seen many follow up studies. They are not funded. When the news about 'covid organics' from Madagascar, consisting of artemisia, probably coffee and/ or another tropical herb, became somewhat public, The WHO warned against it, without any research, within one day!
Yep, I'm pretty sure artemisia also works! However, I think the concern about malaria developing resistance is a real problem (artemisinins and their peroxide bridge are the #1 malaria treatment), and we've already screwed (or allowed our alleged leaders to screw) Africans quite enough, so why not stick to vitamin D, HCQ+zinc, ivermectin, NAC, maybe azithromycin/doxycycline, CDS...

But there isn't as much data behind the Ivermectin treatment as there is behind HCQ.
Yep, and more importantly, there is a bunch of totally FAKE SCIENCE behind the anti-HCQ studies, and it's extremely important that they get exposed and shamed by decent people everywhere (and those who administered, was it 3600mg, need to be put behind bars). So to my mind, HCQ should be pushed at least equally hard as ivermectin (because, as Chris put it, "Yes, the people who were demonizing HCQ are awful humans. The worst of the worst. Mass-murdery types"), along with vitamin D. They all work extremely well. Another great one is chlorine dioxide, which is already #1 in the Hispanosphere and approved in Bolivia, but is a harder sell (more previous propaganda against it and strong threats against its promoters, therefore harder to study, and it's also harder to use), at least in the Anglosphere.
@Chris Martenson
To be clear, I still think HCQ works - it just needs to be administered as early as possible. Post symptom onset and the utility drops off very rapidly. Meanwhile, Ivermectin has shown great benefit even to hospitalized patients.
Great points, so ivermectin is probably #2 after vitamin D, though we have few studies to point to, but conversely the official narrativists have no fake anti-ivermectin studies to point to in their fake news, at least not yet. The side-effects of low-dose prophylaxis also seem to be almost non-existent (same with the others i.e. vitamin D, NAC, CDS), though the false narrative to some degree has it that HCQ is dangerous at any dose.

vit d level how much is too much
https://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/VitaminD-HealthProfessional/
Serum concentrations >125 nmol/L (>50 ng/mL) are associated with potential adverse effects [1] (Table 1).
COMPLETE LIE!! Absolute rubbish using outdated data. 60-80 ng/ml is where it's at, and as Dr. Mercola explains in
this article: "Warnings about “excessive vitamin D intakes” being dangerous are misleading and unwarranted, as toxicity has not been demonstrated until you hit blood levels above 200 ng/mL (500 nmol/L)".
>100 ng/ml is where toxicity may start, but there are other factors at play such as magnesium, vitamin K2, vitamin A sufficiency. >200 ng/ml is definitely toxic. So as Mercola says "there's a significant margin of safety, even if you manage to exceed the optimal range."
Even 100,000 IU per day can be taken for a few weeks without significant toxicity effects, and the main toxicity effect is unwanted calcification (calcium depositions in bad places like arteries and glands) which is caused by magnesium deficiency (and to a lesser degree vitamin K2 deficiency). So if you take ridiculously high doses of vitamin D (appropriate if you have a deficiency and get Covid or some other infection), you can counteract any toxicity effects with magnesium supplementation (a great idea anyway as most people are deficient and strong deficiency causes anxiety and fatigue).
