Previous research has shown that many patients with severe COVID-19 generate autoimmune antibodies that increase the risk of long-term complications.”

“Evidence suggests that those with the most severe cases of COVID are made sicker not by increased viral replication, but by unregulated inflammation. New evidence suggests that high dose intravenous vitamin C decreases inflammation, symptom severity, and death due to COVID-19.”
