Probably you think you have a legitimate reason for screaming and cursing about a simple science query, so whatever. Clearly the "amped up" in your username applies. Good news though, sport: If you don't know the answer, then I wasn't asking you.
Maybe you also didn't know that antibiotics usually work only on bacteria, not viruses, meaning the question of why it would be different now isn't really all that inappropriate to some people. You might consider saving your explosive frustration for other things where it may be justified. (Just a suggestion, don't fly into a rage over that too LOL)
A couple days ago a pede here explained that they aren't, directly. These ones induce your body to release its zinc stores which in turn activates and/or enhances your bodys antiviral mechanisms.
Hopefully someone bookmarked it and can point you to a better elucidation. I shoulda, didn't, and that's all I took away from that thread, sad to say.
