Of course, this is true, as it’s true that Big Pharma, Big Media and Big Government won’t say a word suggesting any vitamins and minerals — as they shut down countries instead!
This Oregon State U researcher says: “public health officials should issue a clear set of nutritional recommendations,” which should be so obvious.

Safe, Simple, Inexpensive Means of Fighting Off Infections Like Covid-19
Dr. Mercola writes:
Public health officials stress the importance of hand-washing, social distancing and vaccines, but leave out the importance of nutritional supplements — especially vitamins C and D and other micronutrients — for fighting off respiratory illnesses, including COVID-19.
Medical officials from around the world agreed that higher doses of vitamins C and D, along with certain minerals and fatty acids will help strengthen your immune system and greatly increase your resistance to infections.

CORVALLIS, Ore. – Supplements containing vitamins C and D and other micronutrients, sometimes in amounts exceeding the federally recommended levels, are a safe, effective and low-cost means of helping your immune system fight off COVID-19 and other acute respiratory tract diseases, an Oregon State University researcher says.
Findings were published today in the journal Nutrients.
Adrian Gombart of OSU’s Linus Pauling Institute and collaborators at the University of Southampton (United Kingdom), the University of Otago (New Zealand) and University Medical Center (The Netherlands) say public health officials should issue a clear set of nutritional recommendations to complement messages about the role of hand washing and vaccinations in preventing the spread of infections.
Specific vitamins, minerals and fatty acids have key jobs to play in helping your immune system, he says. In particular vitamin C, vitamin D, zinc, and an omega-3 fatty acid found in fish, docosahexaenoic acid, also known as DHA, are critical for immune function.
“The roles that vitamins C and D play in immunity are particularly well known,” he said. “Vitamin C has roles in several aspects of immunity, including the growth and function of immune cells and antibody production. Vitamin D receptors on immune cells also affect their function. This means that vitamin D profoundly influences your response to infections. …
That’s why the researchers are urging not only a daily multivitamin, but doses of 200 milligrams or more of vitamin C (higher than the suggested federal guidelines of 75 milligrams for men and 50 for women) and 2,000 international units of vitamin D, rather than the 400 to 800 recommended depending on age. …
A nutritional focus on the immune system could help minimize the impact of many kinds of infections.
