If you believe that, you have already turned in your science card and joined the cargo cult. The study’s author, Scott Sutton, has been paid to do three studies for Gilead Sciences, Inc., maker of Remdesivir, also a drug in trials to treat COVID-19! Across the population, the stages overlap. by Br. Hopefully along with other trials elsewhere we’ll start to see a more complete picture emerge. The 158 patients who did not take the drug had an 11.4% death rate. And if there were naysayers, those were just evil forces at work. There was never much evidence in favor of using hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) as a treatment for COVID. Democrats need to find out what the hell is going on with this crap, tout de suite. Thanks! The medication is safe. I insisted that these drugs be provided only to hospitalized patients with confirmed Covid-19 while under the supervision of a physician. People are smart and they will do their research. Good for Novartis! Why are you (again) citing a study of HCQ given without zinc ?

No where in the paper is the Final Outcome based on pre-ventilation treatment shown, which I thought would be interesting information. Update: here is another new preprint from a multinational team lead out of Brazil. Maybe not. ivermectin, niclosamide etc. This president reveals a lot about people’s biases. The video controversy is only the latest instalment in the saga of hydroxychloroquine's transformation, from relatively obscure anti-malarial drug to political football. I thought it was previously known that the US and UK cooperated by spying on each other – domestic agencies couldn’t spy on their own citizens, but they could spy on the other’s citizens and then give the other the info. It turns out, cinnamon is *also* a mild immune modulator with anti inflammatory properties (there are plenty of others besides what I listed). Hey people, get over it. Could have been better, but FEMA’s done a lot worse, too, over its history. We need an objective randomized double blind study that evaluates HCQ plus zinc when given as an antiviral treatment not as a Hail Mary for patients with severe disease. All of this sure is difficult to reconcile for just about anyone. I do believe as a health care provider that there is efficacy in Hydroxychloroquine and such at the correct stage and age of Covid-19. That isn’t good. In contrast, the Donald is a well trodden pathogen based on longstanding social and political vulnerabilities to democracy, namely racism, xenophobia, bigotry, greed, corruption… The mechanism-of-action of the Donald is simply an overwhelming cytokine storm of swill to cover exploitation. But the data sure supports that he was right. So when do we expect the Gold Standard HCQ CTs to finally read out so we can stop speculating, politicizing science and see “real” results? 20 22.2% 14 13.9% 36 20.4% To assess the possible correlations between chronic patients and Covid19, SIR interrogated 1,200 rheumatologists throughout Italy to collect statistics on infections. Where is the collecting data and information? If I have it right, resultant inflammation leads to release of coagulant factors and then thrombus. It is just disgusting. `Open-Air’ Treatment in 1918 So in summary, the hydroxychloroquine did probably play a role, but it seems that he had plenty of other internal issues dogging him as well. All sorts of vermin like dark and dank places. Dr. Alex Berezow is a PhD microbiologist, science writer, and public speaker who specializes in the debunking of junk science for the American Council on Science and Health. Respectfully disagree, there is simply no hard data either way. Does anyone here think that any other drug stands a chance of getting patient enrollment? As it has been the case with the Trump administration. http://covexit.com/initiative-by-us-medical-doctors-recommends-early-covid-19-treatment-combining-hydroxychloroquine-azithromycin-zinc/ I have been trying to post something here that won’t stick, maybe it’s too long I’ll try to make it 2 posts. The HCQ dose was carefully chosen to get patients to steady-state by Day 2 instead of subject to a slow accumulation. It's been heavily promoted by Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, and the drug even became a political instrument in Australia, when erstwhile MP Clive Palmer bought Facebook ads in March, as well as full-page newspaper ads, promoting his proposal to buy "1 million doses" of the drug to support the fight against COVID-19. Create new account | My Profile | My Account | My Bookmarks | My Inbox | Help | Log in, Back to top Alert abuse Link here The main reason people cannot give it up is because they have lost their trust in science. But this trial, at least as described, compares HCQ and HCQ/AZ to placebo, so we may get good information on how well patients with and without the study drugs. I still have conservative/libertarian principles in general, but I walked out of the Republican party when Trump walked in. Thank You, Trial Lawyers, For Protecting Us from the Scourge of Baby Powder. Center to center-right people likely would have had an easier time voting for Trump if the alternative was Sanders (at least before he had a record to run on), and in the absence of a lot of extra further left voters, that would have helped Trump more. 21 23.3% 17 16.8% 32 18.1% He is a world reference for Q fever and Whipple’s disease. In fact, this is the strategy used everywhere in medicine: a medication that is effective at the early stages hopefully prevents progression to the later stages; but at the later stages, such a medication may no longer be effective. In the article “Outcomes of hydroxychloroquine usage in United States veterans hospitalized with Covid-19” they refer to: No where in the paper is the Final Outcome based on pre-ventilation treatment shown, which I thought would be interesting information. 21 23.3% 15 14.9% 34 19.2% "HCQ has been the dominant narrative up to this point.". More than most presidents, actually. Words mean things. The politics of Trumpism really is a religion. # From The Latest Hydroxychloroquine Data, As of April 11. Let’s hold on to these thoughts as we discuss the next data. Clohisey, Sara and Baillie, Kenneth: T1 – Host susceptibility to severe influenza A virus infection; Vol 23, Critical Care, Sep 2019, p 303; DO – 10.1186/s13054-019-2566-7, First, let me say that I have the credentials and qualifications to do relevant science in this area (a PhD in immunology and molecular biology). I’m glad you posted , otherwise my comment would have been confusing to anyone who followed the link. It compared a group of critically sick people who were given hydroxychloroquine as a last resort, they were already nearly dead, with a group of people who were not severely sick.
