In nyc, so didn't have any access to HCQ (and I hadn't heard of Ivermectin back then) so read up on elderberries (that contains quercetin) with zinc, which is readily available in the vitamin aisles of stores/drug stores. It says it is a method to fight colds, which makes sense too. I got a gummy type and have taken it for the entire time since April of 2020 as well as my daughter. Despite the chicom virus hitting many family members and people at work, we have managed to avoid it. I can't say whether it is just a placebo or not. But again, I've avoided the virus. I did get the jab though for other reasons (taking care of elderly mother and not wanting to be out of commission for two weeks and not able to provide for family). My daughter has stayed away from the jab. I told her I think it was the right decision for her.
