As professor of epidemiology at Yale School of Public Health, I have authored over 300 peer-reviewed publications and currently hold senior positions on the editorial boards of several leading journals. I am usually accustomed to advocating for positions within the mainstream of medicine, so have been flummoxed to find that, in the midst of a crisis, I am fighting for a treatment that the data fully support but which, for reasons having nothing to do with a correct understanding of the science, has been pushed to the sidelines. As a result, tens of thousands of patients with COVID-19 are dying unnecessarily. Fortunately, the situation can be reversed easily and quickly.
I am referring, of course, to the medication hydroxychloroquine. When this inexpensive oral medication is given very early in the course of illness, before the virus has had time to multiply beyond control, it has shown to be highly effective, especially when given in combination with the antibiotics azithromycin or doxycycline and the nutritional supplement zinc.

That article, published in the world's leading epidemiology journal, analyzed five studies, demonstrating clear-cut and significant benefits to treated patients, plus other very large studies that showed the medication safety.
Physicians who have been using these medications in the face of widespread skepticism have been truly heroic. They have done what the science shows is best for their patients, often at great personal risk. I myself know of two doctors who have saved the lives of hundreds of patients with these medications, but are now fighting state medical boards to save their licenses and reputations. The cases against them are completely without scientific merit.

The refusal to acknowledge along with the outright coordinated campaign to ban this medication is a scandal of the highest order.
Some with the authority to do so needs to stand up and release this proven 65 yr old medication for use in treating the China Virus (and anything else a qualified physician in agreement with their patient determines will be helped by its use).
This needs to happen now.

BUT...it bears repeating.
Also the antibody Lenz. The deep state peeps tried to take out the company KaloBios in 2015. It had the only treatment to ending the Cytokine Storm, it was Shkrelli’s company.
So what happened with the “right to try”? Is that just for experimental drugs?
BUT...it bears repeating.
Yes, because YouTube is deleting the underlying video.
What’s happened to Newsweek? Lately I’ve been seeing more articles from them that are actual news instead just leftist propaganda.
Bump!!!!!!!!!!!
The MSM and the leftist are trying to kill Americans and destroy the USA!
“So what happened with the “right to try”? Is that just for experimental drugs?”
I am familiar with the right to try and believe it is for treatments using drugs not approved by our FDA.
I think with HCQ since it is and has been approved for use since 1955 this would not apply.
I’m trying to find that study. I thought I had a link bookmarked but now I can’t find it. I think it was specific to coronaviruses.
I think I found it again. Here it is for any who want to read it.
“Chloroquine is a potent inhibitor of SARS coronavirus infection and spread“

It’s got electrolytes!...................
Worth posting and re-posting.
After all, we’re supposed to listen to doctors, and believe the science...
Has Twitter zotted Newsweek too?
Why won’t Fauci talk to this Yale expert about the science behind hydroxychloroquine use rather than going on endless leftwing TV shows and politicizing this drug?https://t.co/VNYyGsdyho— Mark R. Levin (@marklevinshow) July 30, 2020
He’s an Attention Whore.
He’s reveling in this.
Being on national Television every day!
He know when this Covid-19 is over he’ll be back to anonymous ignominy...............
