| 5th March 2024 | Robert Clancy
The discipline of medicine has changed. Its
traditional cohesion and leadership have fractured into a multitude of disconnected specialty groups, allowing powerful commercial and political forces to increase control over both structure and function of medical practice. The Covid era burst through boundaries long taken for granted. By examining the manipulation of hydroxychloroquine to attain a political end, this article seeks to illustrate the destructive forces brought to bear on how medicine was practised in Australia, with shameless disregard for the health and survival of patients, or for the integrity of those charged to care for their well-being.

The drug hydroxychloroquine was prescribed off-label during the pandemic and touted in particular by a prominent French researcher. The
antimalarial drug hydroxychloroquine may have induced nearly 17,000 deaths in six countries during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. This molecule was presented during the pandemic as a miracle cure by a minority of health professionals, among them the French microbiologist Didier Raoult. The scientist’s belief that the drug was a cure for COVID-19 was soon echoed by some policymakers. French President Emmanuel Macron notably visited his facility and US President Donald Trump recommended the drug in 2020, stating that...

New research shows that treating rheumatoid arthritis with hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) reduced the risk of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, especially in women and men who are 50 years old and younger. Rheumatoid
arthritis (RA) is a systemic autoimmune inflammatory disease marked by chronic joint inflammation leading to joint damage and loss of function. It can also affect tissues and organs outside the joints, including the eyes, heart, and lungs. Although not a classic complication of RA, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD or MAFLD), is prevalent among RA patients, affecting about 35% of men and 22% of women. The researchers drew on...

People who received hydroxychloroquine were less likely to die than those who did not, according to a new study.Just 0.8 percent of patients at a facility in France who received hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) and an antibiotic died, compared to 4.8 percent of patients who did not receive the drug combination, French researchers reported
on Nov. 1."This study represents the largest single-center study evaluating HCQ-AZ in the treatment of COVID-19. Similarly, to other large observational studies, it concludes that HCQ would have saved lives," Dr. Didier Raoult, with Aix-Marseille Universite in Marseille, and his co-authors wrote.The paper was published in the journal...

Coronavirus patients treated with a combination of hydroxychloroquine – furiously denounced by the media and medical establishment after then-President Donald Trump revealed he was taking it – and azithromycin enjoyed better survival rates, a study has revealed.The study, published in the scientific journal New Microbes and New Infections, evaluated “the efficacy and
safety of a treatment protocol with [a] standard dose of hydroxychloroquine plus azithromycin in patients hospitalized with COVID-19 infection” by comparing the 28-day mortality rate of 352 patients treated with the drugs to a contemporary control group of 3,533 patients who received standard care.Researchers found a “statistically significant...

People who took hydroxychloroquine in combination with another drug while hospitalized with COVID-19 were less likely to die than those who didn't, according to a new study. Hydroxychloroquine,
which is widely used against malaria and arthritis, was given to hundreds of patients hospitalized with COVID-19 in Belgium. Thousands of others didn't receive the drug. Researchers examined records from 352 adults hospitalized in AZ Groeninge Hospital in Kortrijk, Belgium. All patients tested positive for COVID-19 or had results from CT scans that suggested COVID-19 was present. Patients received hydroxychloroquine alone or with azithromycin, an antibiotic. They were scanned before and after...

On Sunday, The Gateway Pundit reported the Mayo Clinic quietly made an admission on their site that states “Hydroxychloroquine may be used to treat coronavirus (COVID-19) in certain hospitalized patients.” Now
less than 48 hours later, the Mayo Clinic has deleted their admission on their site and has replaced it with a statement that reads “Hydroxychloroquine is not recommended as a treatment for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). ” The updated web page goes on to state “Also, hydroxychloroquine doesn’t prevent infection with the virus that causes COVID-19.” Here’s what the Mayo Clinic originally showed on its site:

Well, this is something: Yeah, we need some new ones — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) September 25, 2023 Before you ask, we checked. We
found the site they are referring to and it says exactly what is pictured. It says: Hydroxychloroquine may also be used to treat coronavirus (COVID-19) in certain hospitalized patients. … Hydroxychloroquine should only be used for COVID-19 in a hospital or during clinical trials. Do not take any medicine that contains hydroxychloroquine unless prescribed by your doctor. Now, there are tons of warnings on that website that we are not quoting, and you would be foolish to...

The lies about hydroxychloroquine were the worst of the COVID era
|

American Thinker ^
| 19 Apr, 2023 | John Klar
There has been little accountability for the lies of the COVID pandemic. Clearly
the disease originated at the Wuhan Virology Lab. The mRNA vaccines were not nearly as effective as touted (if they worked at all), and possibly unsafe. Another glaring dishonesty, exposed by doctors like Meryl Nass, relates to the use of hydroxychloroquine to treat COVID. Whether or not hydroxychloroquine is effective against COVID, government authorities thwarted doctors from honestly attempting to find out, and interfered with doctor-patient relationships to do so. Agencies conspired to undermine and discredit doctors like Dr. Meryl Nass, discouraging alternative therapies possessing strong safety...

Study links lower hydroxychloroquine dose to more hospitalizations for systemic lupus erythematosus flares (Take more HCQ)
|

Medical Xpress / American College of Rheumatology / ACR Convergence 2022 ^
| Nov. 8, 2022 | Jacquelyn Nestor, MD, Ph.D. et al
New research found that the recommended weight-based or non-weight-based dose of hydroxychloroquine led to more hospitalizations for flares among patients with systemic lupus erythematosus. Hydroxychloroquine
(HCQ), the mainstay treatment for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), reduces flares and improves long-term outcomes. However, the appropriate dosage to avoid retinopathy has long been a matter of debate. Ophthalmology guidelines initially recommended HCQ dosing equal to or less than 6.5 mg/kg/day of ideal body weight. In 2016, updated guidelines suggested using 5 mg/kg/day or less based on actual body weight. For some patients, this results in doses lower than 400 mg a day, which...

Hydroxychloroquine blocks SARS-CoV-2 entry into the endocytic pathway in mammalian cell culture
|
| |
Nature ^
Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), a drug used to treat lupus and malaria, was proposed as a treatment for SARS-coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, albeit with controversy. In
vitro, HCQ effectively inhibits viral entry, but its use in the clinic has been hampered by conflicting results. A better understanding of HCQ’s mechanism of actions in vitro is needed. Recently, anesthetics were shown to disrupt ordered clusters of monosialotetrahexosylganglioside1 (GM1) lipid. These same lipid clusters recruit the SARS-CoV-2 surface receptor angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) to endocytic lipids, away from phosphatidylinositol 4,5 bisphosphate (PIP2) clusters. Here we employed super-resolution imaging of cultured mammalian cells (VeroE6, A549,...

WASHINGTON -- Officials in the Trump White House tried to pressure U.S. health experts into reauthorizing a discredited COVID-19 treatment, according to a congressional investigation that provides new evidence of that administration's efforts to override Food and Drug Administration decisions early in the pandemic. The
report Wednesday by the Democratic-led House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis also sheds new light on the role that television personalities played in bringing hydroxychloroquine to the attention of top White House officials. Investigators highlighted an email from Fox News' Laura Ingraham and others from Dr. Mehmet Oz, the celebrity heart surgeon who had...

We Know Why The Public Health Industrial Complex Had to Discredit Hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin

The public health industrial complex (PHIC) has been around longer than most folks would be willing to believe. They
want to think that the local doctor is theirs and not beholden to a corporate behemoth colluding with the state or federal government, but that’s incredibly rare. The triad of hospitals, insurance companies, and big Pharma is not new. Daniel Horowitz has been exposing it for years. They have a lot of clout and influence. In a tiny state like New Hampshire, they’ve secured an effective monopoly making health care competition nearly impossible. The result has been a decline in care...

Missouri lawmakers passed legislation that prevents state licensing boards from disciplining doctors who prescribe ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine.Sponsored by Rep. Brenda Kay Shields (R-Mo.), HB 2149 also bars pharmacists from questioning doctors or disputing patients regarding the usage of such drugs and their efficacy.With a convincing 130–4 vote in the House, HB 2149

Kansas senators early Thursday morning narrowly passed a bill that would force pharmacists to fill unproven off-label prescriptions for drugs intended to treat or prevent COVID-19. The bill's promotion of ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine has been a priority of right-wing Republicans, as well as its protection for doctors against health board investigations and
anti-vaccine mandate measure. The Senate worked on a host of bills into the early morning hours in a marathon session. The off-label drug bill, HB 2280, passed 21-16 shortly before 1:30 a.m. "Thousands of Kansans and hundreds of thousands of Americans have died because of this propaganda that...
