Is this referring to the same study published recently in the Lancet and RETRACTED?

as others have noted, no zinc.

Reason links to highly politicised Reuters’ article, which includes:

Reuters, 6 Jun article “UK halts trial of hydroxychloroquine as ‘useless’ for COVID-19 patients” by Kate Kelland, Alistair Smout.
Martin Landray, an Oxford University professor who is co-leading the RECOVERY trial, told reporters.
“This result should change medical practice worldwide. We can now stop using a drug that is useless.” ...
Vocal support from Trump raised expectations for the decades-old drug...
Parastou Donyai, director of Pharmacy Practice at the University of Reading in England, said the drug was “propelled onto the world stage by President Trump”, adding he had praised it without solid evidence...

Recovery.net: This national clinical trial aims to identify treatments that may be beneficial for people hospitalised with suspected or confirmed COVID-19
Funders
This trial is supported by a grant to the University of Oxford from UK Research and Innovation/National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) and by core funding provided by NIHR Oxford Biomedical Research Centre, Wellcome, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the Department for International Development, Health Data Research UK, the Medical Research Council Population Health Research Unit, and NIHR Clinical Trials Unit Support Funding.

all there has been so far is a “press release” and this update!

Recovery.net: Information for site staff
UPDATE ALERT
5 June 2020
Further to the press release, we recommend that any participants assigned hydroxychloroquine discontinue it. Please explain thaat this is being done because we do not believe it will benefit them...
We aim to publish further details of the results soon, but we cannot provide further details at this time...

Too bad hydroxychloroquine is so politicized that we can’t necessarily believe this.

If Obama promoted it,he would get a second Nobel. President Trump promotes it and it is ridiculed,mocked,denied and people die.

“Absolute pure BS. The British medical publication, The Lancet, has had to admit that a similar article it published was fake news. Same story in the New England Journal of Medicine which has now admitted the story was based upon fake study data.

You can go to thegatewaypundit.com website and read the article and news clip on Dr. Stephen Smith’s appearance on The Laura Ingraham show last night. Dr. Smith has appeared several times on Ingraham’s show and has met with White House staff. He is a firm believer in the effectiveness of this antibiotic based upon his successful treatment of his patients with the corona virus.”

I agree; need all 3 (hydroxy + azirhro/doxycycline + zinc) taken EARLY.

No, it’s different. The Lancet paper was a data study. This is a clinical study.

"there is no beneficial effect of hydroxychloroquine in patients hospitalised with COVID-19." Martin Landray, one of the principal investigators, told reporters: "This is not a treatment for COVID-19. It doesn't work."

Martin "Mitt For Brains" Landray weighs in on HCQ.

You're not supposed to wait until they're hospitalized, Martin, you mouthbreathing double-digit IQ moron.
