Hey there, I've noticed a lot of people around me are starting to use the Ziverdo Kit, which includes zinc, ivermectin, and doxycycline, even before they get COVID. Is it a good idea to take these meds as a preventive measure? I'm a bit concerned about what the side effects might be if I take them without actually being sick. Would love to hear your thoughts on this.
