It doesn't help people who were infected early in the pandemic and still have the smell off. One good thing is that the prevalence of smell as has gone down as the virus has evolve. But there are still people out the here that are still suffering from this.

One of the most curious symptoms of COVID-19 is the loss of smell and taste. For most, this phenomenon is short lived, but for many around the world the symptom can persist for months or even years after the infection has cleared.
