Finally, several nations that had started using an aggressive early-use outpatient policy for hydroxychloroquine, including France and Switzerland, stopped this practice when the WHO temporarily withdrew its support for the drug. Five days after the publication of the fake Lancet study and the resulting media onslaught, Swiss politicians banned hydroxychloroquine use in the country from May 27 until June 11, when it was quickly reinstated.
The consequences of suddenly stopping hydroxychloroquine can be seen by examining a graph of the Case Fatality Ratio Index (nrCFR) for Switzerland. This is derived by dividing the number of daily new COVID fatalities by the new cases resolved over a period with a seven-day moving average. Looking at the evolution curve of the CFR it can be seen that during the weeks preceding the ban on hydroxychloroquine, the nrCFR index fluctuated between 3% and 5%.
Here in our country, Fauci continued to ignore the ever accumulating and remarkable early-use data on hydroxychloroquine and he became focused on a new antiviral compound named remdesivir. This was an experimental drug that had to be given intravenously every day for five days. It was never suitable for major widespread outpatient or at-home use as part of a national pandemic plan. We now know now that remdesivir has no effect on overall COVID patient mortality and it costs thousands of dollars per patient.
Hydroxychloroquine, by contrast, costs 60 cents a tablet, it can be taken at home, it fits in with the national pandemic plan for respiratory viruses, and a course of therapy simply requires swallowing three tablets in the first 24 hours followed by one tablet every 12 hours for five days.

Dr. Doom should be arrested.
Jeepers. bkmk.
Drs. Zelenko and Raoult should share the Nobel Prize in Medicine.
Not only were they brilliant in understanding the biomolecular action in shutting down the coronavirus, they were courageous in never backing down from insanely vicious attacks by fake science demagogues and their trades in the press.
Their great humanitarian work in medicine needs to be recognized.
can someone post the referenced chart that is at the end of this commentary?
ignore the question just posed
Because of the overall, external shutdown, the kind of treatment related bias that double blind studies are intended to prevent was not a factor.
Doing a full on/off study of a treatment is almost never done for ethical reasons. But in this case that's what happened so we have the data. And it is pretty clear how important early HCQ treatment is.
Add President Trump just to drive the left mad.
Back when Druggists compounded their own drugs we had one that produced his own pill for the Flu/Cold , strangely it had the same dosage schedule as this and it worked wonders. Called it Otto's Special and that was back in the 50's, maybe it was something similar but they sure worked.
bkmk
I didn’t see zinc mentioned anywhere in the article. If HCQ is that effective in early stages of the disease, image how much greater would be its effect if zinc and an antibiotic were included in the protocol!
All the MDs that are supporting HCQ for widespread prevention treatment know Zinc needs to be added.
Not everyone needs a Zinc supplement because their diets are rich in Zinc. To be sure however, MDs will instruct all patients to take Zinc.
Look. Let the demoncats die from not taking it
Or silver
Nuff sed
Shared on Social Media. !!!
Bttt
People are tuned out, they OD’d on the non-stop media scare tactics.
If they had not vilified HCQ treatment from day one we could have saved 100,000 lives.
Denial of this or any other promising drug is murder.
Neil Cavuto is evil.
