> The original treatment protocol included zinc

Eh? No, it didn't. People started talking about zinc when it became clear that Raoult's results weren't reproducible.

You're right about Raoult not mentioning zinc, but Zelenko used zinc from the beginning.

Also, significant reduction in mortality using HCQ alone early during the treatment has been reproduced:

The earlier trials weren't testing prophylactic treatment.

Switzerland accidentally performed such an experiment on their population as well - also showing HCQ saves lives: http://www.francesoir.fr/sites/francesoir/files/20200713_fs_...
