Week old story published on the 20th.
Was posted here a number of times back then.
“we now have ten days of people who were taking it after they were ill and all the people who were seriulsy ill or dead who were taking it prior.”
What are your sources that indicate all people who were on a regimen of hydroxychloroquine paired with azithromycin and/or zinc sulfate have died?
A very likely scenario.
It wasn't patented anymore and went into generic production. No labs were interested in paying for the studies and CDC didn't run anything.
The government knew that coronavirus pandemics were a serious danger, and they failed completely to follow up on an inexpensive, effective drug.
Today, they dismiss doctors' efforts to use it as "anecdotal."
What is anecdotal is the performance of CDC/NIH/FDA.
I have my doubts this is accurate and am heavily leaning towards disinformation
The article states the common cold is caused by a Coronavirus.
That's factually incorrect.
The common cold is caused by a Rhinovirus.
That's reason enough for me to not put any credence in this "article" which is cited in one location on one twitter feed.
If hydroxychloroquine is a antimalarial medication, why are they prescribing it to people with autoimmune disease like lupus and rheumatoid arthritis? Do you think they might have discovered at a point in time that it was also effective on these diseases? That’s how medicine works. That’s how Viagra was discovered for goodness sakes.
They have also discovered that hydroxychloroquine is an ionophore that allows zinc to more easily penetrate a cell wall and interfere with the virus’s ability to replicate itself. Again, it prevents the virus from hijacking the RNA sequencing mechanism of a cell to replicate itself.
Secondly, hydroxychloroquine helps regulate the immune system and prevents what is killing a lot of people, the sudden release of a large amount of pro-inflammatory cytokines that destroys healthy lung tissue, known as a cytokine storm.
please do a little more reading on the subject so you know how it actually works. You might want to watch this video and learn something:

I want to know how many people who were taking drugs chronically for other Diagnoses prior to this event are among the seriously ill and dead. That will tell us if the drug works. If there are such cases the drug does NOT work “100%”.
If hydroxychloroquine is a antimalarial medication, why are they prescribing it to people with autoimmune disease like lupus and rheumatoid arthritis?
For money, perhaps?
There is no reason to use the drug anecdotally. If I had access to the database I could write the article this afternoon and still have time to cook supper.
Hey, OJ is still looking for the real killer too.
It was a cell culture (in vitro) study.
They were too pre-occupied with other things to perform studies on patients.
Unfortunately, this seems to support the view that government “workers” at any level often bung things up. All stereotypes have at least a kernel of truth.
Ping-a-ling
‘They’ have already discovered that IT DOES WORK.
I'm curious, are pro-inflammatory cytokines the same thing or related to having a high CRP? (C-Reactive Protein?) I suffer from an inflammation disorder and am on meds that repress my immune system which puts me at higher risk of catching coronavirus (I'm not freaking out about it though.)
Just curious to know if CRP and cytokine storm is related?
Reference? I am eager to read it.
BS ... do you even know why hydroxychloroquine with zinc actually works? Doubt it! Go learn more then get back to us.
A drug called Quinidine, related to Hydroxychloroquine, is used to treat heart arrhythmias. I think Covid-19 can cause heart problems that doctors would treat with Quinidine. Maybe the French doctors who did the small study that started all this used Quinidine on a Covid-19 patient having heart trouble, and saw that it not only stopped the heart arrhythmias, but also stopped the viral spread.
Oops, the cat was out of the bag.
Watch the video and learn like I did, jerkwad.
