My question is how come the Remdesivir trial has already been completed and the results released.
And yet none of HCQ trials are nearing completion. The NY trials primary completion date is March 2021. And the final completion date is march 2022.
Is this not proof that big pharma has control of the system. There are other problems with the Remdesivir trials as well. I would not trust the results.
The reason is the the double blind, randomized clinical trial’s results were statistically “significant” which allow them to stop the trial and issue the report. As a result of the trial—which was based on the established processes—the FDA issued the emergency use order.
The HCQ tests are underway and the results are not statistically significant. At least not yet.
The part that makes me shake my head is the 99% of people are coming through this. Without much of any treatment.
The folks pumping HCQ are using crappy testing and not the zinc component. I haven’t heard any full blown randomized double blind tests using that combination.
But....the stories are out there. And people who do not understand how testing works are shaking their fists in anger.
But...the FDA say I’d docs want to use it, they can.
For Yahoo News this was a relatively unbiased article (unless they just ran it to get the hospital in trouble, which is possible), so maybe the tide is starting to change.
I’m fascinated with Bahrain’s experience. They got their first confirmed case in late February and started HCQ as a protocol within a few days.
Their results compared to the U.S. (per million people)
Bahrain
Tested 8% of population
Approx 1700 cases per mm
5 deaths per mm
1 serious/critical per mm
U.S.
Tested 2% of population
Approx 3200 cases per mm (possibly higher due to nursing homes?)
200 deaths per mm (up from 190 a few days ago)
55-60 serious/critical per mm
So, it’s not due to limited testing because they’ve tested four times more of their citizens than we have. And it’s not due to some form of innate resistance because they’ve found almost as many cases per million as we have, plus our count is probably higher because we stupidly let it run rampant in nursing homes in New York.
It just looks like they figured out a way to stop the virus from killing people, one that maybe we could try too? Oh, and nothing about zinc in the news I read, but they did receive another shipment of HCQ from India in late April.
Now that the country’s opening back up, they can start revealing what we knew all along. But too late to have given it to everyone in the country who wanted it, as a preventative. You know, and not have to shut the friken country down.
I assume that HCQ poses the same danger to people who take the drug for malaria, lupus, etc., and yet it is still widely prescribed.

And the mortality rate among people needing inpatient medical treatment far higher?
