Evidence is in: Hydroxychloroquine works!
American Thinker ^ | 07/05/2020 | Howard Richman

Posted on 07/05/2020 6:55:58 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

The media is doing its best to ignore the solid new evidence that hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) works. Although they claim to be pro-science, they only report scientific studies that agree with their narrative. Although they claim that black lives matter to them, they purposely keep knowledge about successful treatments away from COVID-19 patients, a disproportionate number of whom are black. Here are some details of the two new studies that almost all of them are ignoring:

  1. Henry Ford Health System. Last week, the International Journal of Infectious Diseases reported that hydroxychloroquine cuts the death rate in half when it is administered to hospitalized COVID-19 patients soon after they are admitted. The retrospective study of 2,541 patients was conducted by the Henry Ford Health System in Detroit Michigan. Only 13% of the patients who were given HCQ died as compared to 26% who were not given HCQ. HCQ worked whether or not it was given with the antibiotic azithromycin, but it appeared to work slightly better with azithromycin. Key to the study was early treatment with HCQ, with 91% in the HCQ group starting that medication within 48 hours of hospital admission.
  2. Mount Sinai Hospital. Also last week, Nature Reviews Immunology published the results of the small but ideal type of experiment (a double-blind, randomized clinical trial) conducted by Mount Sinai Hospital in New York which found that 0 of 31 patients in the HCQ group progressed from mild to severe as compared to 4 of 31 patients in the control group.

The media is also ignoring the May 8 study of 932 patients by the New York University Grossman School of Medicine which compared the HCQ/azithromycin treatment with the HCQ/azithromycin/zinc treatment.

SO, WHAT ABOUT THE STUDIES THAT SHOW HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE DOES NOT WORK?

NYU found that the addition of zinc sulfate pills to the HCQ/azithromycin treatment reduced the death rate from 23% to 13%, but only if given before the patients got so sick that they required intensive care.

If these results are extrapolated, they show that early treatment with HCQ could prevent about 50% of the deaths from COVID-19, and the addition of zinc sulfate could further reduce the death rate by an additional 20%. For every 100 patients who are currently dying without effective pharmacological treatment, only 30 would die if they were treated early with the the HCQ/azithromycin/zinc combination.

The studies which appear show that HCQ doesn’t work should be considered as well. Two of them, based upon data provided by a small company named Surgisphere and published in reputable medical journals, were retracted by the journals when it turned out that the data were suspect. And the other studies either overdosed their patients with a toxic dosage of HCQ (200mg to 400mg per day for 5 days is normal), or they often waited until COVID-19 was severe before beginning the HCQ regime.

But, but, the liberals said that Trump was a fool to talk about HCQ, he wants people to drink bleach, yadda yadda yadda.

Because of the narrative that Trump promoted the use of HCQ, the media and liberals decided that HCQ is not an appropriate treatment.

By the time this is all over we will discover that nothing really matters. 99% walk away from this without any treatment.

The reason it works now is solely due to Trump not talking about it.

Time for President Trump to go to bat for HCQ again and open up the country.

And time for Governors like Abbott and that guy in Flordia to get on board.

Henry “weak sister” McMaster needs to as well.

If a real conservative challenger comes along to go against Henry down the road, I will help that person as much as I can.

Evidence is in.

The cure was removed to murder elderly conservative
Americans by DNC-directed governors
and to FORCE Americans to take FauXiVIRUSES willingly.

NOT GONNA HAPPEN.

The Evidence is FauXi, PeloXi, Xi, Soros and Gates
need a Trial.

Yes, but over 100,000 deaths is not acceptable.

Thank you for that link. That was very helpful. Whoever did that did his research thoroughly.

The Washington bureaucracy and the mainstream media have blood on their hands. Both continue to kill people by ignoring the scientific studies which show that the HCQ-zinc combo, if given early, could reduce the COVID-19 death rate by about 70%.

Democrats say:

It is better that 10s of thousands die rather than Trump be right about anything.

Some Drs on texags are taking prophylactic quercetin to do similar.

Will it work

Who knows.

But I take it...especially since it is unknown if I would be able to take trumps drug

You need something to help it absorb. Bromalain is often used

I am taking Quercetin phytosome instead but I also have it with Bromalain

https://www.medpagetoday.com/infectiousdisease/covid19/87373

I will say this...whatever cocktail I am taking in the way I am taking it..spaced out....and some only after I have gone out (due to worries about liver damage) is creating something in my body for me to feel the best I have ever felt in my life - overcoming thalassemia hemoglobin oxygen issues and Low LDH issues...and whatever other quirks I have.

I havent gotten the dreaded Low LDH Zombie limbs in awhile

I am really really appreciative of having found Drs who are treating Covid who understand about supplements and how they make a difference in the body.

RE: You honestly believe the numbers?

I don’t. But the skeptics also fail to include Covid-19 deaths that are NOT REPORTED.

So, I don’t really know whether it is an UNDER or OVER report.

I am all ears though. What is your personal estimate?

Nature is a mean bitch.

100,000 deaths from this is a drop in the bucket compared to what similar diseases have done in the past. Human history is full of this stuff.

The sad truth is that the human race “does not win it all.”

Send this to Neil Cavuto - he needs to walk back his frantic meltdown.
