The Science Supports the Use of Hydroxychloroquine in COVID-19, So Why Are Frontline Doctors Being Censored?
PJ Media ^ | 07/29/2020 | Stacey Lennox

p>The ridiculous assault on hydroxychloroquine by the media and the political left just needs to end. The research on the drug, related specifically to SARS CoV-1, is over a decade old and was performed by our own National Institutes of Health (NIH). The fact that practicing physicians are being censored for advocating the use of the medication on an outpatient basis and prophylactically is patently insane.

The fact that Donald Trump Jr. had his Twitter account locked for sharing the video of licensed doctors making their case for its use is just nuts. For social media platforms that insist people follow the guidelines of the World Health Organization (WHO)., they must have missed this statement:

This evidence does not apply to the use of hydroxychloroquine for preventing #COVID19 infections or treating non-hospitalized patients, two areas where we still need more evidence on the drug's effectiveness against the #coronavirus.

— World Health Organization (WHO) (@WHO) June 18, 2020

Nothing from the WHO or the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has ruled out the use of the drug to prevent COVID-19 or treat it in the outpatient setting. The trials mentioned in the tweet were for late-stage disease and often utilized exceptionally high doses with the potential for toxicity. The FDA eliminated compassionate use for late-stage COVID-19. It has not made a determination on outpatient use and there are 243 ongoing trials globally according to the NIH.

The president has science behind his optimism about hydroxychloroquine

The studies referenced by the WHO in the tweet above are the same ones criticized by the members of America’s Frontline Doctors, who gave the press conference yesterday.

The video went viral and the censors are out in force, despite their statements not violating current WHO guidance. They are real doctors with real licenses and real practices. You may check them out yourself.

HERE's A BRIEF EXPLANATION OF HOW HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE AND THE OTHER PARTS OF THE COCKTAIL WORK:

Let’s start with a few basic things we know about COVID-19.

  1. The disease has three phases. The first is an upper respiratory infection that many people recover from without medical support. The second is respiratory inflammation which may cause clots. The more severe form is caused by an abnormal immune system response that can lead to sepsis, organ damage, and death.
  2. COVID-19 binds to the cell receptor ACE-2. So did the viruses first cousin, SARS. This is how it enters a cell.
  3. Coronaviruses are RNA viruses that need to hijack the body cell’s function to replicate or make new viruses

America’s Frontline Doctors are advocating for the use of hydroxychloroquine, zinc, and azithromycin early in the illness and prophylactically. The most emphatic physician did overstate her case calling the drug combination a “cure.” However, if it can be verified that all of her 350 patients are still alive, then her patients have been cured.

Chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine have the same pharmacological action in the body. The latter is considered to be safer, which is why it is being used. Both drugs are also zinc ionophores. This means if the virus successfully enters the cells, they hold open the passage and pull more zinc in. Zinc interferes with the virus’s ability to replicate or photocopy its RNA. The NIH knows that too. Archived for posterity here.

Azithromycin or doxycycline both have an anti-inflammatory effect. Since the outpatient disease can include inflammation in the lungs, these are added to the treatment. Some doctors are now using inhaled steroids, also an anti-inflammatory, such as budesonide, to treat this symptom.

All of these drugs have excellent safety profiles, a long history of use, and are generic. This means they are inexpensive and could easily be made widely available. This was summarized by Dr. James Todero who also spoke at the press conference. I am including his entire commentary here because I think it is important.

This entire thing is over on November 4, 2020. Sure, there will still be cases and even deaths, but the hysteria will be gone. It’s all been to “get” badorangeman by any means necessary. If Biden wins, the media will start reporting that surging cases are attributable to increased testing, etc. This has all been a Deep State op to get Trump. None of it makes sense in any other context. Put it through that lens, and ALL of it makes sense.

If Biden wins, the conspirators meet ALL of their goals

1. Big Pharma gets a vaccine to legislate that citizens use.

2. Bill Gates and Fuaci get their national vaccine registry

3. Democrats sweep both houses because of Trump's mismanagement of the CORONA BS.

4. The state governments get to not only continue, but to EXPAND their draconian lock down measures.

5. After businesses go bankrupt, the deep state gets to run them.

6. This list can keep expanding.

HCQ+Zn must be stopped at all costs. If people on the street knew they could take a pill twice a week and over the counter Zinc everyday and they never get the dreaded virus, then it's all over.

“Why are Frontline Doctors being censored”? Follow the Money. There is no new money in Hydrox....Big Pharma stands to make Big Bucks off NEW Cures and Vaccine. They get nothing from a cheap 70 year old drug. It is always about the money.

The conference video can be found at bitchute. It is worth an hour or hour and a half of your time to watch it.

https://www.bitchute.com/video/g6CYOg0lojcK/

From 4 to 12 minutes they discuss the chemistry of the virus and the treatment. Several of the speakers that follow are worth the time to listen to them.

The timing of the pandemic is just too perfect. As soon as it was clear that the impeachment was failing the virus appeared.

The October surprise in March.

Designed to destroy the American economy and punish the American people for supporting President Trump

Follow the money. Can’t profit a lot on HCQ. The new treatments and vaccines will be costly and profitable.

The most potent reason for the organized attack on Hydroxychloroquine is to eliminate it as an alternative to the antiviral drug Remdesivir. Originally developed as a drug against Hepatitis C, Remdesivir proved ineffective in that and all other antiviral applications fully studied so far.

Remdesivir is not presently approved for any use except COVID-19 on a limited compassionate basis. The primary manufacturer, Gilead Sciences, produces it at a cost of less than a dollar for a day's single injected dose, for which it charges several hundred dollars a dose. A full administration as a COVID-19 treatment costs several thousand dollars.

For Gilead's executives, the best business strategy is obvious: eliminate Hydroxychloroquine as a treatment for COVID-19 while doing all that they can to promote Remdesivir as the primary treatment. And in carrying out that strategy, Gilead has substantial economic and political power due to a market cap of about 92 billion dollars and millions of dollars in political contributions over the last ten years from employees and the company PAC.

Even worse is that the FDA is by its nature a compromised and corrupt agency, riddled with conflicts of interest and with a contradictory mandate to both serve the public and promote drug innovation. In effect, with Hydroxychloroquine an old drug, the FDA has an obligation to try to find a place for Remdesivir as a new drug. Combined with Gilead's economic and political power, Remdesivir becomes the hot girl at the school dance, with Hydroxychloroquine a scorned ugly duckling.

Can Hydroxychloroquine be rehabilitated? Obviously the science matters, but exposing the manipulations against it are the best route to redressing the imbalance. In essence, scientific fraud was used to cook up and plant in the Lancet and other scientific publications an influential but phony study against Hydroxychloroquine. Although withdrawn, the study did much to poison opinion against Hydroxychloroquine.

Other studies against Hydroxychloroquine also have defects in design that make them unreliable as science but effective as propaganda because of their venues of publication. The nasty truth is that much of what is published as authoritative medical science is riddled with errors, dishonesty, and covert conflicts of interest.

Call me a pecksniff, but such a purposeful and influential scientific fraud ought to be investigated. My guess is that Gilead was behind it. Attorney General Barr, surely you can take an hour or two to designate a prosecutor and set a grand jury on the case.

Thank you so very much for this link to this video.

I watched it yesterday and bookmarked it and it was deleted today!

So much appreciate you posting this effective link today. How long will this link survive the censors?
