Zelenko used it and confirmed he treated patients successfully with it. That's all I care about. He said the HCQ opened up the channels for the body to absorb significantly more zinc, and the zinc halted the virus replication process. It worked on his patients, so sounds good to me.

Its a third variable, and the Trump cure is already 99.1% efficacy, and most studies now AVOID adding any zinc, and assume most humans have normal zinc levels, even if not true (they might not serum test zinc levels).
HERE ARE ALL THE TRIALS LACKING EXTRA ZINC!
Ongoing trials investigating Trump Cure : hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin in the treatment of COVID-19 : NONE add ZINC in any Trump Cure trial, though assumed nonharmful if so.

NO EXTRA ZINC added in current Trump Cure trials!
See above list.
Personally, I bet a tiny amount of extra zinc added might do no harm, but its not part of the Trump Cure papers, or any serious Trump Cure trials.
