I have read somewhere on this site that someone thought it would protect you from covid but because it lowers your immune system I would think you would be less protected. Today is my day to take it and I am trying to decide. What do you think??

No, there is evidence that rapamycin aids the immune system at the doses that are used for anti-aging. You need to ignore whatever you read about using rapamycin after transplants, IMHO. I have been taking 6mg to 8mg weekly for the past 16 months.

Rapamune, otherwise known as Sirolimus, is considered an excellent method of preventing clinical worsening of renal transplant patients. I don't see any reason why you should take a break from using it since it prevents intensification of the severity in COVID-19. Numerous scientists consider that Sirolimus, along with niclosamide, can protect against immune-related injury. After reading a few articles about it, I decided to purchase niclosamide powder from https://www.niclosam.com/product/niclosamide-powder/, which I think was an excellent investment for my health.
