Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease (NIAID), has recommended people take vitamin D and C supplements if they are deficient to protect against COVID-19, according to a conversation he had with actress Jennifer Garner on Instagram Live.
During the conversation, Garner asked Fauci whether people should be doing more to boost their immune system to defend themselves against the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, to which Fauci said no for healthy individuals.
