Health goes beyond taking nutrients (although they might help). Here we're talking about exercise, nutrition, mental health etc:

- None of those were advocated by governments during this pandemic.

- Some measures (lockdowns, etc.) were detrimental to individual health and (imo) contributed to complications we've been seeing.

This is generally backed up by common sense (which - just like the flu - has mysteriously disappeared in the past 2 years)

What's mysterious about the flu disappearing? The precautions taken to reduce COVID were extremely effective against influenza. Given that it was much more broadly circulating, and therefore a large percentage of the population had antibodies to dominant strains (more than COVID even now), one would expect masks and isolation to basically destroy it's spread no?

It's also possible that viral disease dynamics are just like that, with one virus dominating at a time (amongst this class of highly contagious respiratory viruses).
