&lt;p&gt;&lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7321405/"&gt;www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/.../PMC7321405&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So if flavonoids are such powerful ACE2 receptor blockers, why haven&amp;#39;t we heard of testing with them? &amp;nbsp;What gets tested is so political, based on recommendations by the president and personal relationships between executives no doubt, some posssibly involving exchange of money. &amp;nbsp;There is no big money in natural products, which are already currently available as supplement capsules. &amp;nbsp;A responsible media and public health organization would encourage everybody to take some flavonoid supplement along with their Vitamin D.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Insofar as Bill Gates&amp;#39; COVI-PASS immunity certificates, those are based solely on the presence of antibodies, which are part of the adaptive immune system. &amp;nbsp;However, the above role of flavonoids operates in the innate immune system. &amp;nbsp;And there is a third layer inbetween involving T-cells. &amp;nbsp;So people with good innate immune systems--those who seem to never get ill from the cold or flu, probably would not get ill from any coronavirus either. &amp;nbsp;They should be allowed the same freedoms as COVI-PASS, and it is totally unnecessary for these people to get a flu shot or a COVID-19 vaccine.&lt;/p&gt;

In other words, no one has died from coronavirus! Before you throw up your hands and regard this as just another fake news, find the webinar titled &amp;quot;COVIDF-19:Unprecedented Challenges in Pathology Departments Across Europe&amp;quot;.&lt;/p&gt;
