"I have to let y'all know it has been quite a battle. And as in any war, ALL is fair. And in the middle of this epic battle, I've come to the conclusion that there aint a whole heck of a lot one can do externally, to fight off COVID-19 once it has gotten into your body. This is my personal opinion, definitely not the conclusion of some scientific study. The real battle takes place internally, on a cellular level," Rooker said.
