Queensland University and Oxford University Medical researchers investigating why asthma sufferers were “under-represented” in severe Covid cases have completed a clinical trial of Budesonide asthma inhalers. According to researchers the randomised trial was stopped early, because the results were so remarkable, the researchers did not believe it ethical to deny treatment to placebo patients.
Over-the-counter inhalers suppress severe COVID symptoms, trial finds

QUT associate professor Dan Nicolau, one of the lead researchers on the trial at the University of Oxford, said the results showed the method was extremely effective at preventing severe COVID-19 symptoms.
“When we first began the trial back in March [2020], we were hoping for 50 per cent reduction [in risk of developing serious symptoms], which itself would have been very high,” he said.
“We got 90 per cent, which even with only a few hundred people is off the charts.
“And it’s not just the overall result – their temperatures are less, they get less fever, and they recover faster.”
Professor Nicolau said they realised in the early stages of the pandemic that people with asthma were under-represented in severe and fatal cases of COVID-19.

The randomised trial ended up looking at 146 patients, who were given regular doses of either corticosteroid budesonide via an inhaler, or a placebo.

If other teams confirm this finding, it is a remarkable breakthrough. And confirmation should be very straightforward, given the widespread availability of this inhaler.
(along with the definitive DANMASK-19 Study, which showed masks don't work to prevent Covid.)
Such news depresses the left.
If its a cheap treatment, big pharma and little fauci will label it a deadly treatment.
Budesonide or Pulmicort are inhaled steroids and maybe you can get them over the counter in the UK. In the US you need a prescription.
As for the gist of the article, I’ve read that steroids in various forms are effective in treating COVID.
Didn’t Obamacare impose a tax on inhalers?
And didn’t the Obama admin go after the devices for the sake of ‘fighting’ climate change?
I seem to recall a Hillary donor or associate who headed a pharma company that jacked up the cost of a popular medicine. Wasn’t it for asthma?
OFF LABEL TREATMENT!
Privact between a doctor and patient only applies to killing babies.
Prescribing a legal safe medicine is verbotten when it challenges the Covid Corps dogma.
But...but...but...if people are allowed to use inhalers for COVID there won’t be enough for asthmatics. /s
And hcq causes heart attacks. Therefor a 60 year old tried and tested drug is now deemed deadly.
Translation- at pennies per dose, how is big pharma going to pay high dividends to sharholders? And if the treatment is that simple and cost effective, how will that allow for election thefts and power grabs?
Unapproved and untested vaccines all the way. Yeah baby!!!!!!
Well, duh. Antibacterial, just like PG.

Double duh.
They might just acknowledge the effectiveness of PG by the time another quarter million have supposedly died of this virus.

We have been played.
Completely played.
Scamdemic
Makes sense. Steroids work by preventing your own immune system from overreacting. Most covid patients with extreme illness are suffering from an immune system that has gone berserk trying to fight the infection.
Interesting since I use a Steroid nose spray for nasal drip.

Establishment Medicine is the LARGEST CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE operating in the US.
There were a few doctors out of Texas that discovered this at the beginning of this mess and of course they were discredited!! EVERYTHING that Dr.’s said helped the damn media discredited AND they have blood on their hands!!
Following this up with great interest. Being in the “comorbidity cohort” (old, diabetic) I’m obsessively interested in affordable prophylactics for the CCP Virus.
