There was major benefit to the zinc if given early.
There was a NYC doctor who said they were scanning regularly with pulse oximeters and that it had saved the life of 2 of his colleagues.
Perhaps it is good then that the French have more zinc in their diet than Americans. This is a good example how medical “studies” load the dice.
If you look at who pays for the studies you can usually predict the outcome before it starts.
If Big Pharma admits to the efficacy of vitamins and minerals, it invites hard questions about many of their products. I expect them to continue to bury the necessity of zinc.
Screw them.Trump should have some famous university perform the tests.
There are zinc supplements on the shelves at our local Fry’s pharmacy.
Lamb, grass fed beef, pumpkin seeds are all a good source of bio active zinc. Hummus (chickpeas) followed by vatious beans aren’t bad either but you need to eat a full serving for your daily value.
3oz of lamb or 4 oz of grass fed beef will do it, so chow down to stock up. And as it’s a food source vitamin you absorb it much more efficiently than sucking on a piece of chain link fence. Which most pills are basically giving you.

Amazon has all kinds of zinc, much of it available for free next day delivery.

If we treated COVID like a medical problem instead of a political matter it would be over in a few weeks. I give the CDC and NIH an “F” for how they’ve handled this, and perhaps being the root cause it because of Fauci funding the Chinese Lab to creat it.
It is very difficult to ascertain the effect of any intervention when multiple factors are involved. All good studies have to control what interventions are used to single out any effect by one specific agent. Using two agents is bad enough. 3 agents...really gonna confuse the situation. Have you spoken to anyone who could set up a study such as you envision? Have you written a proposal to anyone...maybe zinc sulfate tablet manufacturers might pony up the cash. Go for it.

If it were up to ignoreable me, I would suggest that the NIH actually TALK to the doctors everywhere ( I can name at least 5 ) who have successfully treated Covid-19 and ask them WHAT they did to be so successful.
Put them together in a socially distanced room and come up with a formal way of reproducing their results and design a clinical trial accordingly.
Then, try to REPLICATE their protocol FORMALLY on clinical trials -— patient profile, dosage, etc.
These are doctors at the forefront in the battle against the disease, why ignore them and reinvent the wheel?
If that trial is federally funded-at this point based upon what is known about the treatment protocols and the dependency upon zinc-this could construed as “fraud”

There is already is a run on zinc. I have not seen it at any store in more than 4 months!
Try Amazon. I got my last bottle from them a few weeks ago.
Here’s Raoults web page. You have to look under “Key Figure” to find his protocol.

So until this is finally approved, why not take the zinc supplement and wash it down with a few gin and tonics (with quinine),,, for medicinal purposes of course.
It may not cure it but it may build up your bodys defenses to fight it off.
