Fenofibrate, a common cholesterol drug, dramatically reduces symptoms of COVID-19 - Study Finds

Interesting, now what will Fauci claim?
Wonder if the drug will be blacklisted for this purpose

“Our data indicates that fenofibrate may have the potential to reduce the severity of COVID-19 symptoms and also virus spread,” Dr. Elisa Vicenzi of the San Raffaele Scientific Institute in Milan and co-author, said in the release. “Given that fenofibrate is an oral drug which is very cheap and available worldwide, together with its extensive history of clinical use and its good safety profile, our data has global implications.”

The drug seems to be good for covid treatment at prescribed levels for cholesterol control.
It could be researchers made a correlation data discovery, that those on the drug had mild or no covid sysmptoms.

Covid & cholesterol: Statins may reduce coronavirus severity, help patients recover faster - Study Finds

Interesting potential drug treatment includes other ACE inhibitors, including for high blood pressure such as Lisinopril.
Covid needs cholesterol on a cell surface to enter the cell.
Prevents Covid from infecting you or seriously degrades covid symptoms.

Statins, a common cholesterol-lowering medication, appear to be linked to a lower risk of developing severe COVID-19 symptoms and faster recovery time in general. That’s the takeaway from a new study by doctors at UC San Diego Health medical center.

The authors say that the molecule ACE2 resides on the outer surface of various human cells, similar to a doorknob on a door. Normally, ACE2 is a helpful molecule that contributes to blood pressure regulation. Unfortunately SARS-CoV-2 also uses ACE2 as its prime entryway into lung cells.
