The drug companies stand to make no money on this drug. Plus they can’t let Trump be right. So I expect the trials to be rigged against this drug.
Not giving the ZINC supplementation will rig the trials, since the HCQ has a dual effect, reducing inflammation in the airways and ferrying ZINC into the infected cells where the ZINC stops the viral replication. By noit including the zinc the full value of the HCQ is cut thus rigging the trials for ‘mixed outcome’ at best. Also, the cocktail needs to be started early not waiting for hospitalization and ventilators.
