ICU Doctor: What I Wish People Knew About Coronavirus

No mention whatsoever of the “Trump pills”, hydroxychloroquine + azithromax/doxycycline + zinc.

[polymuser]

“Provincially, it is called the Zelenko protocol...”

Thank you!

That discriminates his hydroxychloroquine + azithromycin + zinc sulfate protocol (that Big Pharma does NOT want) from other “HCQ Protocols”.

[shanover]

well, it is political....

Bottom line: More people are dying/will die by the "political" virus. The correlation and agenda between FedGov swamp creatures like CDC and NIH,tyrannical blue state governors and hospital/nursing systems run by leftists and those sucking on FedGov money is sickening.

The vacine could come tomorrow and they would not have consensus to agree to use it as long as there is a President Trump and money and power can be gained by the crisis and denying solutions.

My BS Meter pegged the first day and it hasn’t changed. It’s a virus and it kills people but it is not a PANDEMIC !

Not anymore then influenza. Now I am sure this will disturb those with the COVID religion.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

You raise a good point about his state medical licensing board. The states have very different approaches to the HCQ protocol; not all are insane like Nevada. This raises the question about which state his father in law is practicing. Is he in an insane Democrat Governor state that prevents use of HCQ? Or is he in a liberty-minded state like South Dakota?

[Magic Fingers]

Well said!

[RedStateRocker]

“Pandemic” merely means “a disease that is widespread over a country or the world”. Greek “Pan” = “all”, + “Demos” =”people”.

[JayAr36]

And?

[Chaguito]

He’s an ICU doc. By the time he sees a patient, it’s too late for the HCQ protocol.

I want to point out that the originator, the discovery of the Hydroxychloroquine + Azithromycin protocol belongs to Professor Didier Raoult PhD, MD, director of IHU - Méditerranée Infection, Marseilles, France.

The protocol, straight from Prof. Raoult's first trial report:

---

"For all infected patients, many of whom are not very symptomatic, have lung lesions on CT scan, we propose, at the earliest stage of the disease, as soon as the diagnosis is made:

• Hydroxychloroquine (200 mg x 3 per day for 10 days)
• +
• Azithromycin (500 mg on the 1st day then 250 mg per day for 5 more days)

as part of the precautions for use of this combination (including an electrocardiogram on Day0 and Day2). In cases of severe pneumonia, a broad-spectrum antibiotic is also used."

---

He is very much about starting the protocol while the patient can literally still swallow the pills. You stick the ventilator tube in and you've waited too long.

Also, there is no zinc in his protocol. These are the results:

Left represents viral load, bottom represents "Jour" treatment date.

This is not a criticism of zinc, btw, just setting the record straight. Raoult has never mentioned zinc, but has achieved amazing success fighting COVID-19 with just a dollar-a-day PQL + Z-PAK.

Raoult is one of those French doctors who chooses not to speak in English (I believe he understands some questions spoken in English), and the #MSM has chosen the Professor's committment to his profession instead of becoming a talking head (and he has plenty to say on that subject) to besmirch his life-saving treatment with all manner of calumny like that ridiculous VA "survey" study.

[RedStateRocker]

Saying “It’s not a Pandemic” is wrong.

Lethality can be debated, but it’s widespread therefore is a pandemic.

[JayAr36]

I’ve found that when a word or term is used extensively someone is trying sell something . If you like it’s yours. Run with it.

[RedStateRocker]

Words have meanings. ‘Pandemic’ has a definition; by the definition, the Chicom virus is a pandemic. Period. Only a retard or a crook would argue otherwise.

[JayAr36]

Typical not enough intelligence to refrain from reverting to name calling. That ends it.

[RedStateRocker]

What else would anyone call someone who can’t comprehend a word with a simple definition?

You can argue it’s not lethal, that it’s overblown, or that our state governments are/aren’t having a fascist reaction, etc, but to argue it’s ‘not a pandemic’ is like someone saying 2+2=5, why would they NOT be ridiculed.

You just make conservatives as a whole sound stupid if you say ‘it’s not a pandemic’, kind if like pointing to a Ford F150 and saying ‘That’s not a pick-up truck’.

[SkyPilot]

Are we going to lead our barbers, tailors, and salesmen away in handcuffs at the point of a gun?

Yes.

[G Larry]

Wow! Even the Gibiru search engine finds source links for the combo have been scrubbed!

First page no mention of HCQ, Zpack, & Zink.

The "studies" isolate HCQ and suggest marginal benefit....duh!

Wonder if Trump knows that the stockpiles of HCQ he helped secure are being hoarded and blocked from the patients?

JAMA study on the efficacy of Plaquenil:

https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2766117

Seems like they only gave Plaquenil to very seriously-ill patients who were at death’s door/required ventilators. So it’s not really a like-for-like comparison.
