First, I am not an anti-vaxxer, I think we need vaccines AND better health and nutrition to get through the pandemic.

So why is this a surprise? Why do you think we need these vitamins and hormones? (Vitamin D is actually a hormone) For our health! You will find that many of the risk factors of COVID are also outcomes of vitamin D deficiency.

But what should be being studied even more than Vitamin D?

ZINC.

A zinc deficiency not only effects ACE and ACE2, but also ADAM17, which cleaves ACE2 off the cell to make soluble ACE2. When the virus attaches to soluble ACE2 it cannot enter the cell.

I agree. Take a zinc copper combination. Taking one will lower the other and vice versa.

Just a correction, Zinc only lowers copper, copper does not lower zinc. Zinc creates metallothioneins that stops copper from being absorbed into circulation from the intestine.
