Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) — the controversial COVID-19 treatment touted by President Donald Trump — might be gaining new traction in the fight against the Wuhan coronavirus.
The latest positive results come from Vadodara, India, where city officials have conducted a major study involving more than 300,000 people, including “health workers and other frontline staff.”
The Indian Express reports:
The administration has analysed a sample of over 1 lakh [lakh = 100,000] residents, who were mostly close contacts of positive persons and the effect of HCQ in containing the transmission of the virus. According to the analysis, of the 48,873 close contacts of positive patients who took one dose of HCQ, 102 turned Covid-19 positive and 12 succumbed to the infection whereas 48 of the 17,776 close contacts of positive patients who took two doses of HCQ turned positive and only one died. The study also states that of the 33,563 close contacts of patients who took three HCQ doses, 43 tested positive and one died.
Local health official Dr. Devesh Patel told the paper, “It has shown positive results. We have the numbers and not one person has complained of complications. The only side effect reported is mild gastritis, which is common with administering heavy medicines and can be effectively handled.”
In other words, anyone who has taken the much more common azithromycin antibiotic for a simple sinus infection has probably suffered about the same distress — all gastric — as a subject of the Vadodara study.
Dr. Mohammad Hussain, who runs Vadodara’s Faith Hospital, told the Express, “There are conflicting studies about the use of HCQ. While initially the US studies rejected it and cited side-effects, European countries backed its prophylactic use. In Vadodara, it has shown positive results.

That is what I call a YUUUUGE sample of people.. Good news.
so now you know why the CDC and FDA and FauXi
and PeloXi took out the makers of generic HCQ.
because this has been planned LONG in advance
to murder worldwide.
So, in short, the medical establishment in the United States would rather people die or be hospitalized than use a cheap and effective drug.
Funck-Brentano stands behind his work, “because hydroxychloroquine has serious side effects in some populations,” according to Retraction Watch.
The Lancet retraction reads in part:
A recent Lancet Article by Mandeep Mehra and colleagues, which reported adverse events associated with hydroxychloroquine or chloroquine treatment in patients with COVID-19, has been retracted by three of the authors, along with our linked Comment that provided a commentary on the Article and its findings, because the veracity of the data underlying this observational study could not be assured by the study authors.
How many more have to DIE before our criminal media stops siding with democrats who refuse to accept this treatment only because President Trump mentioned its efficacy?
So, data is Lakh-ing?..................
Don’t kid yourself, politicians take this drug for their own protection. At least Trump has admitted to it.
I searched online for HCQ when my father-in-law got the covid. I found Quercetin is also a zinc ionophore (let’s zinc be absorbed more readily and it was easier to get. Taking that with zinc and he tested negative after a week of flu like symtoms.
Hydroxychloroquine/zithromax/zinc seems to work best when the treatment is instituted as soon as a person develops fever and cough. If treatment is delayed until test results return or when the patient has developed shortness of breath and pnemonitis, it is less likely to be effective. Once there is an actual pneumonia from Covid-19, the prognosis is very guarded. Best to consult with your physician as soon as you develop fever and cough. Don’t wait.
When this is over, the Democrat governors must be held accountable for their bizarre decrees that have restricted the timely prescription of hydroxychoroquine by practicing physicians.
The presence of evidence for dose dependency strengthens the case, as well.

Acosta and mikajo hardest hit....Trump just suggested that hcq had shown promise in early use and they jumped off the cliff...tds in action...
The only way to break this pandemic may be
To give as many people preventative doses of HCQ. There’s at least some evidence that even people who have contracted COVID
can get it again.
It makes sense that the reason HCQ has been downplayed is so that the elites can keep the existing supply for themselves.
Interesting new method with 100% success rate according to him.
RE: Interesting new method with 100% success rate according to him.
Yes, I read about his successes with over a dozen of his patients. The only issue I have is his number of cases is very small. Too small to convince the medical establishment.
And Dr. Bartlett better be careful as he ( like Dr. Vladimir Zelenko of Hydroxychloroquine fame before him ), wrote a letter to both Sen. Ted Cruz and Pres. Trump about his successful cases.
The moment Trump starts openly praising his treatment, you can expect more attacks and opposition ( not based on science ).
“not one person has complained of complications. “
“The only side effect reported is mild gastritis”
“all gastric”
Where are all the people dropping dead of heart attacks?
Very early on I saw a video report by several doctors, tops in their fields, who were treating MANY Lupus patients FOR MANY YEARS and they commented that NONE of them had EVER seen ANY heart related side effects from prescribing Hydroxychloroquine.
So from the very beginning I knew this whole side effect issue about the heart was just BULLSHIRT!
Also, this was when I started pointing out the media conflating Chloroquine with Hydroxychloroquine. Chloroquine, the bad sister, had all the “nasty” side effects.
There was something just the other day in the NY Times about Trump touting “Chloroquine”, which HE NEVER DID!
