Just a remark, this is true for any two element sequence (no, it's not infinite). For example $$1 + \frac{1}{2^s}.$$ All zeros have real part zero. A less obvious experimental fact is that the same (the zeros lie on a vertical line, not zero) is true for $$1 + \frac{1}{2^s} + \frac{1}{3^s}.$$ Here is the picture from mathematica (contour lines of $|f| = 0.2,$ in case you are wondering).
