Why would you limit it to Covid-19 @joelsmith2453

Not only is it a preventative against Covid-19

Viraleze™ is a broad spectrum antiviral

The antiviral agent in VIRALEZE™, referred to as SPL7013, has been shown to have potent antiviral and virucidal activity in multiple respiratory viruses, including virucidal activity in multiple variants of SARS-CoV-2, including Omicron and Delta, as well as influenza viruses A and B

FYI


Broad-spectrum antivirals (BSAs) are a class of molecules or compounds, which inhibit the replication of a broad range of viruses (i.e. viruses belonging to two or more viral families). BSAs could be divided into experimental and investigational agents, and approved drugs. BSAs work by inhibiting viral proteins (such as polymerases and proteases) or by targeting host cell factors and processes exploited by different viruses during infection.[1] As of 2021, there are 150 known BSAs in varying stages of development, effective against 78 human viruses.[2] BSAs are potential candidates for treatment of emerging and re-emerging viruses, such as ebola, marburg, and SARS-CoV-2.[3][4] Many BSAs show antiviral activity against other viruses than originally investigated (such as remdesivir and interferon alpha).
