I have seen some literature about how Nicotine stops other things from bonding to ACE receptors and that it could be a good counter to Covid..
Would you have any comments about that?

What about alcohol? As in recreational alcohol consumption.. What if any effect could you see that having on a Covid infection?


I am curious because I personally went through having Covid just a couple months ago, and I smoke, and I drink more than most people I suppose..
When I caught Covid I did not stop smoking or even smoke less, I took a Bayer aspirin a few times a day (thought it might help against heart troubles, and general soreness), and I bought a couple gallons of Merlot wine to quarantine with..

I smoked as usual and basically drank the wine all day every day in quarantine..
I had a headache for a day and body aches for about 2-3 days, and felt like I didn’t have a lot of energy for a couple days after that..
I also lost my taste and smell for about a week which then gradually came back..

I caught Covid along with 4-5 other coworkers at the same time of exposure..
I had the LEAST severe case out of all of us..
Some younger than me, some older, some in better shape (non-smoker/younger/non-drinker), some in worse shape (fatter)..
I had the least severe case of all..

Could it have had to do with me sipping wine and smoking the whole time? Nicotine and wine antioxidants?
Idk..

Btw we all caught it from someone who had both doses of the Pfizer vax, and he had almost no symptoms..
Ok so maybe he had less symptoms than me, but he was basically an unknowing spreader, who infected almost our entire crew..
I personally know well that vaccinated people can run around spreading Covid and no paper in the world will convince me otherwise..


Am I just super lucky and have good (French/German) genetics, or did I do something right?
