BREAKING: Hydroxychloroquine lowers Covid-19 death rate, study finds


  • Twice as many patients survived when given hydroxychloroquine
  • There were no heart-related side effects reported
  • Early treatment appears to be key

The anti-malaria drug hydroxychloroquine helped lower the death rate in Covid-19 patients in the most recent study of the drug conducted by Henry Ford Health System.

Read more from Henry Ford Health System here.

Cardiologist Dr. William O’Neill, a medical director at the Henry Ford Health System in Detroit, Michigan, first spoke with “Full Measure” about the study while it was underway in May. The findings have just been published in the peer-reviewed International Journal of Infectious Diseases.

The large scale analysis examined 2,541 patients who had been hospitalized in six hospitals between March 10 and May 2, 2020.

More than twenty-six percent (26.4%) of patients who did not receive hydroxychloroquine died. Nearly seventy-four percent (73.6%) survived.

But among those who received hydroxychloroquine: 13% died and 87% survived.

One suggested concern flagged in previous studies of hydroxychloroquine did not materialize in the Henry Ford Health System Study: heart-related adverse events.

The positive results compared to some other studies of hydroxychoroquine could be attributed, in part, to the timing of treatment say the study’s scientists. Ninety-one percent (91%) of the patients in the study were given hydroxychloroquine within 48 hours of admission.

The study patients were at least 18 years old with a median age of 64. Fifty-six percent (56%) were African-American.

The study also found that patients who received the antibiotic azithromycin alone, or a combination of hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin, had a slightly better survival rate than those not treated with the drugs.

The analysis found 22.4% of those treated only with azithromycin died and 77.6% survived. Twenty point one percent (20.1%) treated with a combination of azithromycin and hydroxychloroquine died and 79.9% survived.

More than 26% (26.4%) of patients who were not treated with either medicine died and 73.6% survived. 

“Our analysis shows that using hydroxychloroquine helped save lives,” said neurosurgeon Dr. Steven Kalkanis, CEO, Henry Ford Medical Group and Senior Vice President and Chief Academic Officer of Henry Ford Health System. “As doctors and scientists, we look to the data for insight. And the data here is clear that there was benefit to using the drug as a treatment for sick, hospitalized patients.”

The study scientists point out that other reports on hydroxychloroquine that had less positive, mixed, or negative results were of different populations; administered hydroxychloroquine later during illness; used different doses, and/or the studies were not peer-reviewed.

The findings have been highly analyzed and peer-reviewed. We attribute our findings that differ from other studies to early treatment, and part of a combination of interventions that were done in supportive care of patients, including careful cardiac monitoring. Our dosing also differed from other studies not showing a benefit of the drug. And other studies are either not peer reviewed, have limited numbers of patients, different patient populations or other differences from our patients.” 

Dr. Marcus Zervos, co-author of study, division head of Infectious Disease for Henry Ford Health System

President Trump has garnered extensive criticism in the media for saying that if hydroxychloroquine proves to work in treating coronavirus, it could be a game changer.

Henry Ford Health System is also studying to see if hydroxychloroquine can prevent coronavirus. That study is titled: “Will Hydroxychloroquine Impede or Prevent COVID-19” or “WHIP COVID-19.” 

The study is enrolling 3,000 healthcare and frontline workers, but scientists say they are having trouble getting enough test volunteers due, in part, to the bad publicity surrounding hydroxychloroquine in the media; and because the government stepped in to limit use of the drug for coronavirus after criticism and safety concerns.

“Currently, the drug should be used only in hospitalized patients with appropriate monitoring, and as part of study protocols, in accordance with all relevant federal regulations,” says Dr. Marcus Zervos, co-author of study.

He adds that the possibility of a Covid-19 surge in the fall or sooner shows an urgency to identifying inexpensive and effective therapies and preventions.  Hyrdoxychloroquine can cost just pennies where other potential treatments, such as remdesivir, can cost thousands of dollars.

  1. Dr. Larry Malerba

    I take it for granted that you would never shill for Pharma but this is a rather odd journalistic stand to take.

    1. Honestly why shill if the entire treatment is so inexpensive…now Remdesivir if she was touting that then she would definitely be a shill…

      1. Thanks. Spot-on reply, Andreina. It’s like criticizing BLM makes one a racist. Just because we have differing opinions does make us evil or a shill.

      2. WHY are you posturing for the govt to tell us what medication to take??!!! You guys are a bunch of confused monkeys!! I’m sick of this govt telling me what to do and now you trump maggots want my sick love ones to trust the government and take a medication simply because the potus says is safe!!! I DON’T TRUST ANY OF YOU YOU LOST YOUR MIND WHEN YOU BECAME A TRUMP SUPPORTER! Dummy you need to think for yourself

        1. Exude me but I really don’t give a flying f*** what you or your family takes and neither does POTUS! He was hoping just like us that people wouldn’t DIE! If that’s a bad thing then you’re the DUMMY who need to think for yourself! ?

          1. Lisa, left wingers would rather end up in critical condition, than ever take the inexpensive, 3 part Plaquenil/Azithromycin/Zinc Oxide, proven effective treatment. Even lefty doctors/medical experts have demonized hydroxychloroquine/Plaquenil for political reasons. Dr. Harvey Risch/PHD/Epidemologist/Professor at The Yale School of Public Health/ highly recommends using the 3 part Hydroxychloroquine treatment to prevent hospital admissions & thousands of deaths could have been prevented. Plus, 53 studies have positive results using Plaquenil, to heal Covid-19 symptoms.

        2. I know you posted before he Frontline Doctors video was posted, but you should find it and watch it.

          There was a doctor from Nigeria who said in Nigeria and many other countries Hydroxychloroquine is sold over the counter, and has been for decades. And oh yeah, IT WORKS!

          S0 why are our Medical bureaucrats letting Americans die, knowing what the cure is?

        3. ????YOUR BRAINWASHED!! Turn the channel back to CNN n don’t worry bout the people that have kept their sanity n common sence DUMMY!!????

        4. The POTUS isn’t just saying its safe, hydroxychloroquine has been used for decades by millions. In many counties it’s sold over the counter. The Ford study was hospitalized patients the results would be even better if given earlier.. Like Tamaflu the earlier the better.

          1. The Ford study would have been even better if given Zinc. They knew that Zinc was the key to the Zelenko Protocol that Dr. Zelenko recommended to Trump.
            These people calling themselves “doctors” running these so-called studies did not attempt to follow the Protocol hence the pre-planned failure rates. They would know that HCQ is only the delivery agent to the cell while Zinc provides the actual “cure” or prophylactic action.

            If they had done that, close to 100% if not ALL of those patients could have lived as Dr. Zelenko’s patients did. In fact, almost none of the over 150K they say died so far had to die if they just followed the Protocol from the very beginning which clearly they did NOT want to do for other reasons. Sad so many have been sacrificed to continue advancing their agenda to develop a new and expensive “vaccine” over a cheap and readily available cure!

            These studies only added to the “controversy” created to coverup HCQ rather than seek a real cure just like they ALWAYS do. Clearly the same corrupt forces are at work that Sharyl previously reported:
            https://sharylattkisson.com/2018/10/flu-shots-behind-the-promotion/
            https://www.cbsnews.com/news/swine-flu-cases-overestimated/
            And documented in great detail in Dr. Mikovits’ tell-all whistle-blower book: “Plague”

        5. Deacon John Berstecher

          Trumps maggots? The doctors? No. But always, always listen to your doctor 1st, and get a 2nd opinion if necessary.

          Ever since the President said it sounded promising most seem to find a problem. He based that on studies already done throughout the world.

          Our medical pros said slow down, let us do our own studies, but in the hospital, we will let you.

    2. Are you serious man? Complete and outright deception by Big Tech, MSM and the DNC regarding this drug and its life saving applications for people infected with COVID19. This and the fact that many Democrat governors sent people infected with COVID19 to nursing homes. Why in the hell wouldn’t she take this stand?

      1. Patrick ( and Sharyl ) :

        Marxists employ C O G N I T I V E DISSONANCE as
        means to topple a nation for socialism/communism
        (( Bolshevik Russians gave their secret methodology
        a NAME, for taking over any capitalist society:

        “Psychopolitics,”

        applied by agents called,

        “Psychopoliticians”

        —and, an actual manual exists, giving Marxian agent-
        provocateurs detailed instructions, which this scribbler
        has in his library, and has described/explained in an
        essay, “Psychopolitics of Applied Marxism” )).

        All of the conflicting messages coming from America’s —
        the West’s — Marxian-controlled/-directed MSM serves
        the purpose of destabilizing one’s — this nation’s! —
        mental well-being.

        Keep in mind, the Agency’s “Operation Mockingbird,”
        having installed in the late 1950s – and thereafter –

      2. This study sounds very interesting…but it seems strange that there is NO reference to where this study was published…or even if it was published. If it wasn’t published yet, it would have been nice to simply have said that in the news report.

        1. Sharyl Attkisson

          Second paragraph: The findings have just been published in the peer-reviewed International Journal of Infectious Diseases.

          1. To be clear, Elsevier, who owns International Journal of Infectious Diseases, is not a journal but a very reputed publication house. It is a publisher with greatly varying quality of journals and their paper acceptance rate. Elsevier is a very good publishing group, yet it’s evaluation for publication depends on research work submitted.

          2. Some comments from the CNN review of it: may be of interest. It’s peer reviewed, but it’s an observational trial rather than a double blind clinical trial so it doesn’t have the weight of the clinical trials.

            Amongst some potential issues:

            The Henry Ford foundation chose which patients to give hydroxychloroquine to, and may have unintentionally had a selection bias for those more likely to surive, and the ones treated with hydroxychloroquine had double the steroid use of the ones without which may be relevant given the effectiveness of dexamethasone.

            https://edition.cnn.com/2020/07/02/health/hydroxychloroquine-coronavirus-detroit-study/index.html

        2. Actually Dana, in the second paragraph it says it was published in the International Journal of Infectious Diseases.

      3. stop promoting govt overreach. We don’t need the government telling us what medical treatment should be taken!! Thats dumb and the complete opposite of conservative principles!!

        1. You prefer the media to tell you what medication to take, with no pushback when they lie, simply because they hate the President?

    3. Dr. Larry Malerba and Sharyl :

      Please consider my below letter, re “Pharma.”

      ==========
      ==========

      Hi, Dr. Miller:
      
      Consider how this:

      https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2020/05/200507194907.htm

      relates to this:

      https://selfhacked.com/blog/alkaline-phosphatase-normal/

           Cancer and viruses and bad
           bacteria do not survive well 
           in an alkaline-conditioned body!

      Why do anti-cancer chemical therapies use 
      bicarbonate of soda to mitigate damage
      from Big Medicine’s applied toxic chemicals?

      Why did the medical community take decades
      to “discover” alternative medicine’s immuno-
      therapy approach to healing diseases?

      Why did Big Pharma/Big Medicine shut down 
      the very first “chemo” therapy clinic in the 
      U.S., in the Fifties?!

           The answer is found in this
           out-of-print book,
           “You Don’t Have to Die.”

      The first “chemotherapy”  was herb-/vitamin-
      based, applied by Harry M. Hoxsey—“The
      Hoxsey Treatment.”  And his cure rate for 
      cancers was astounding!  Therein is found
      why his approach was sledge-hammered out 
      of existence by profit-driven, treat-symptoms-
      not-the-cause Big Pharma/Big Medicine.

      This scribbler has cured his skin cancer without
      “benefit” of mainstream medicine, using the 
      principle of Acid vs. Alkaline balance; and cured
      a cancerous tumor using same application; and
      cured flu-bug infections within two hours of
      presenting severe symptoms, by shifting from
      an acid pH to an extreme alkaline one.

      48 years ago began my often repeated assertion,
      after having been exposed to Adelle Davis’ fact-
      /science-based writings on nutrition:  

           The future of medicine is nutrition science.

      1. If this pill was deprived just because Trump said game changer or what you have to lose., or because of it can make money, what can we think of such people? Dr. Fauci was fine with Radisivire with out much research why is that? It was Sean Hannity who initially said over the Radio on March 25th, look at the world map, anywhere Malaria was rampant little or no coronavirus.

        Burzynski Movie https://www.youtube.com/user/BurzynskiMovie/videos > https://www.burzynskimovie.com/

        Now talk about Astroturfing, this Wiki page contains 100% (not 90%) negative comments contradicting Dr. Burzynski so slanderous should be retitled: “Hitpiece on Burzynski Clinic”…https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burzynski_Clinic

        Burzynski graduated from the Medical Academy in Lublin earning a Ph.D. in biochemistry. [explains the accent for whoever is wondering]

        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_University_of_Lublin > The Medical University of Lublin dates back to 1944 in Lublin, Poland.

        Burzynski moved to the United States in 1970, working at Baylor College until 1977, when he established the Burzynski Research Laboratory where he administered antineoplaston therapy, initially to 21 patients but then more widely as “experimental” treatment. Burzynski founded the Burzynski Research Institute in 1984.

        Antineoplaston is a name coined by Burzynski for a group of peptides, peptide derivatives, and mixtures that he uses as an alternative cancer treatment. The word is derived from neoplasm.

        Antineoplaston therapy has been offered in the U.S. since 1984 but is not approved for general use. The compounds are not licensed as drugs but are instead sold and administered as part of clinical trials at the Burzynski Clinic and the Burzynski Research Institute.

        His scientific papers have caused academic controversy, with “reviewers” [citation needed] disputing the design of the trials and scientific validity of the published results.

        In February 2017 following lengthy hearings the Texas Medical Board recommended Burzynski’s medical license be revoked, with the revocation suspended, and a fine of $360,000 for billing irregularities and other violations.

        There is no “accepted” scientific evidence [citation needed] of benefit from antineoplaston combinations for various diseases…slander, slander, slander…finally ending 93 defamations later with:

        In August 2015, Burzynski was listed by the Houston Press as number 8 on a list of The 10 Most Embarrassing Houstonians accusing him of being “Truly an embarrassment to such a medical city where some of the best cancer medicine in the world is performed.”[93]

        This Wiki page has to be one of the most egregious examples of what Sharyl calls “astroturfing” against any single individual. Just an endless amount of derogatory statements against his work and the patients who support him by the “Wikiturfers!”

          “How serious an epidemic of sleeplessness could really be if we don’t even know that we have it?” A very prophetic question indeed now that we are faced with this omnipresent lethal virus that is lurking to strike everywhere especially from people with no symptoms!
          Yes they have the audacity to say over 40% of the population may be asymptomatic spreading the killer virus like Typhoid Mary and don’t even know it, who must to be stopped from threatening the heath and safety of others… How Do You Know What You Know? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bi2B7oL8onw

        2. Thank you for bringing the attention of Dr Burzynski’s clinic to this forum. I have followed Dr. Burzynski for sometime and have the greatest respect for his clinic and his approach to treating cancer’s. He is a hero.

    4. As Hydroxychloroquine is a generic drug used since the 50s, it is not a big pharma drug. One could argue it has been the big-pharma that has sought not to use hydroxychloroquine because there is no money in a generic.

    5. You have clearly been following the wrong information, Dr. Larry. Vladimir Zelenko discovered, in March, that he got nearly 100% efficacy from his HCQ cocktail of Hydroxychloroquine + zinc sufae + Azithromycin. Zelenko explained that it was really the zinc inside our cells that kills the virus, and the hydroxychloroquine facilitates its entry into cells. The Azithromycin also has SOME anti-viral activity, but is primarily a prophylactic against opportunistic pneumonia that often follows viral lung damage.

      Fauci, the mainstream media, and shill “research labs” pooh poohed the HCQ cocktail, citing “dangerous arrhythmias” [which only affect 1/7000] and the phony labs disingenuously tested hydroxychloroquine ALONE, despite Zelenko’s clear explanation that the other drugs are also required, just so the headlines could read, HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE INEFFECTIVE..

      The Lancet, a British medical journal jumped into the fray and similarly dismissed hydroxychloroquine, but after mounting pressure from people who know the truth, had to formally retract the bogus article, and now the truth is finally beginning to show.

        1. Truly refreshing, is it not? It’s why I follow Sharyl these days. I just so desperately want facts and be able to make up my own mind.

      1. Thank you BP. I have been wondering about Dr, Zelenko. I wonder where his numbers are now. The last I heard was over 700 treated with 2? deaths and very few hospitalizations. That was early April.

        1. MARam, Zelenko received death threats after the leftists politicized his findings, so he is maintaining a low profile and word has it that he has suspended his practice to get out of the public eye.

        2. UPDATE: He had heart surgery and published his Protocol in an eBook for the whole world to see: https://files.internetprotocol.co/ebook-covid-19.pdf
          https://techstartups.com/2020/07/22/dr-vladimir-zelenko-jewish-doctor-treated-coronavirus-patients-using-hydroxychloroquine-zinc-undergoing-surgery-also-releases-new-book-coronavirus-treatment-launches-new-webs/
          Over the weekend, Dr. Zelenko provided an update on his health situation. He told his audience in a Twitter video from his hospital bed that he’s undergoing surgery to remove mass on his pulmonary artery.
          https://internetprotocol.co/covid-19/2020/07/21/yale-harvard-professors-support-zelenkos-protocol/
          https://techstartups.com/2020/03/25/doctor-vladimir-zelenko-treated-350-coronavirus-patients-100-success-using-hydroxychloroquine-sulfate/

        3. Dr, Zelenko’s Protocol called for Zinc as the curative/prophylactic agent. HCQ was only the transmitter to the cell. Why did none of these so-called studies use ZInc? They know the success rate would have been 100% like Dr, Zelenko discovered and we can’t allow a cheap cure to displace a $Multi-Billion vaccine!

    6. Sharyl Attkisson

      I, in turn, find it rather odd that you think factually reporting on an important peer reviewed large scale study is “taking a journalistic stand.”
      (?)

      1. Hmmmm…you should know that the stories that you report on are the stand that you take. If you didn’t believe that the study was correct, or, at least, probably correct, it would be irresponsible to post it.

        1. Excuse me? It is the job of a responsible journalist to report the facts and then let us make up our minds and take a stand. A journalist should not be taking a stand on a story they are reporting. Then it becomes biased reporting and I do not need the media to tell me what to think.

        1. Sharyl Attkisson

          You’re entitled to your own take if that’s what you think. I often find people see what they want to see and hear what they want to hear.

          1. ABSOLUTELY, SHARYL! That’s exactly what we are witnessing these days. Keep doing what you are doing. You are the lone beacon in the dark night of journalism.

            And BTW, thank you for actually reading comments. I am so surprised by how many journalists I know say they don’t read the comments to their articles. I can understand why in many cases, but it is refreshing that you actually do…at least some of them.

          2. Suze echoes my feeling, too. Sharyl, we consider you one of the best– if not THE best– journalist out there. You set the standard for how other “journalist” should do..

        2. You are just perplexed that your normal news sources are now implicated in the unnecessary deaths of 10’s of thousands of our countrymen. In my mind, you share in the blame.

      1. Your reason for posting
        that article . . . Matt ?

        Africa is the primary testing ground for
        Big Pharma’s experimental agents,
        because of its poor and uneducated
        population—both its citizens and its
        bought-off-by-Big-Pharma “leadership.”

        There is growing resistance there—to
        Bill Gates’ DEADLY vaccination experi-
        ments; and, soon, his experiments-for-
        profits are to be applied here in the U.S.
        —then E V E R Y W H E R E !

        Consider this :

        Here’s why I had declared from the get-go, that social-distancing is perfectly useless (( unless air stops circulating! / winds stops blowing! )), and that that typical face mask DOES NOT provide adequate protection, UNLESS the mask seals the face and eyes and EARS (( BTW, ears breathe!, and are an entry point for viruses ))—UNLESS one’s “mask” is the self-contained, head-covering type used by professional decontamination personnel (( learn how C-19 hangs in the circulating! air and, ergo, why it’s inhaled through ANY of those perfectly-porous-for-any-virus masks you see on the street )) :

    7. Especially when all lefties media “were ones pushing agenda anti this!, despite the voices supporting this, who were mercilessly persecuted by media. & one even landed in jail vis Fauci some years back!

    8. Odd? Contesting the efficacy of a drug that could help millions of people and the misreporting for political reasons is pretty ‘journalistic’? No?

    9. I thought so also. However, I did find a chart by Johns Hopkins University , in an article, that showed the number of DEATHS in Switzerland when people were taking HCQ, then when HCQ was discontinued (Deaths up), and then when they reinstated HCQ (Deaths down again).

      https://jeffreydachmd.com/2020/08/hydroxychloroquine-efficacy-against-corona-virus/

      I then found a website showing statistics of CASES over time in Switzerland that showed during the same time the number of DEATHS had gone back down, as shown in the first chart, whereas the number of CASES in this chart had significantly gone up.

      So, that might indicate, anecdotally, that HCQ had been quite effective in preventing DEATH despite the number of increasing CASES in Switzerland.

      I’m guessing the Swiss CASES started soaring, despite the number of DEATHS staying stable, because people started to get lax in social distancing.

      Note However/ Read recently that there’s early evidence that COVID-19 is damaging the heart and brain; Even in sub-clinical cases, So I don’t think it’s something anyone would want to get in any case even if HCQ helped (Seems best before or early into the illness ………gotta go).

  2. We just need HydroxyChlorqAz BEFORE we have to go to hospital.

    Just protect nursing homes until it’s gone or have a real vaccine.
    Admit hydroxyChlqAz works even on old peeps, when properly dosed at first sign of symptom.

    1. Contact your Congress person and DEMAND that Fauci allow physicians to prescribe hydroxychloroquine, AND zinc sulfate, AND Azithromycin as a prophylactic, like people of means are getting. World leaders, the ultra wealthy, the Hollywood Elites, Medical professionals’ families, etc. Fauci should be in prison for KNOWINGLY misleading the world, just so he and his cohorts can make money from the otherwise useless Remdesivir, which is only 50-70% effective after 7-11 days. HCQ cocktail is 99% effective after 3-5 days.

  3. How many folks could have been saved if they had been using it from the beginning, as the President recommended? Thank you for reporting this!

    1. because it never stopped being used in hospitals. At least not in the US. Anyone who says it has is a LIAR. Use in hospitals under monitoring is recommended and that’s being done in US hospitals. All this attention on this drug is done only to make Trump look good but why? The president of the United States has no business telling citizens to take a drug. Under different circumstances I’d have to wonder if the drug’s got some kind of mind control properties or something or how it would benefit the govt somehow. So all of this is very weird.

      1. Really?! They’re liars?! Have you checked with every hospital in every state? The fact is that many doctors WON’T prescribe HCQ, even in hospital, because the media & Fauci have convinced, without evidence, that it is too dangerous! And their lies have killed people around the world! Here, in Australia, my own doctor told me that HCQ is too dangerous, because of the mega doses you have to take for COVID-19. I since discovered that he has been misinformed about that. That is deliberate misinformation from the media & big pharma, who want everyone to use their prohibitively expensive, far less effective alternative, Remdesivir!

        1. Can you just imagine if this happened. Contact every hospital Of course if the truth was to be posted without the peanut gallery commenting. most hospitals if correctly answered would be labeled as liars, reps or anti Fauci. End of story.

    1. Clearly to mislead us. When President Trump had Dr. Vladimir Zelenko on a news conference with him, Zelenko clearly explained, in plain English, how the HCQ cocktail worked. He said it was the zinc that kills the virus in our cells, the hydroxychloroquine facilitates its entry into the cells, and the Azithromycin– although it has SOME anti-viral properties– is mainly to prevent secondary bacterial infections in compromised lung tissue. So, the ONLY reason to not include zinc in their “studies” was so they can announce “HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE INEFFECTIVE AGAINST COVID-19”, and make Trump look foolish and hurt his chances of re-election. Condsider:
      ♦Without COVID-19 panic Democrats cannot easily achieve ‘mail-in’ voting; which they desperately need in key battleground states in order to control the outcome.

      ♦Without COVID-19 panic Democrats cannot shut down rallies and political campaigning efforts of President Trump; which they desperate need to do in key battleground states.

      ♦Without COVID-19 panic Democrats cannot block the campaign contrast between an energetic President Trump and a physically tenuous, mentally compromised, challenger.

      ♦Without COVID-19 panic Democrats do not have an excuse for cancelling the DNC convention in Milwaukee; thereby blocking Team Bernie Sanders from visible opposition while protecting candidate gibberish from himself.

      ♦Without COVID-19 panic Democrats do not have a mechanism to keep voters isolated from each-other; limiting communication and national debate adverse to their interests. COVID-19 panic pushes the national conversation into the digital space where Big Tech controls every element of the conversation.

      ♦Without COVID-19 panic Democrats cannot keep their Blue state economies easily shut-down and continue to block U.S. economic growth. All thriving economies are against the political interests of Democrats.

      ♦Without COVID-19 panic Democrats cannot easily keep club candidate Joe Biden sealed in the basement; where the electorate is not exposed to visible signs of his dementia.

      ♦Without COVID-19 panic it becomes more difficult for Big Tech to censor voices that would outline the fraud and scheme. With COVID-19 panic they have a better method and an excuse.

      ♦Without COVID-19 panic Democrats cannot advance, influence, or organize their preferred presidential debate format, a ‘virtual presidential debate’ series.

      [Comrade Gretchen Whitmer knows this plan, hence she cancelled the Michigan venue]

      All of these, and more, strategic outcomes are based on the manufactured weaponization of the COVID-19 virus to achieve a larger political objective. There is ZERO benefit to anyone other than Democrats for the overwhelming hype surrounding COVID-19.

      It is not coincidental that all corporate media are all-in to facilitate the demanded fear that Democrats need in order to achieve their objectives. Thus there is an alignment of all big government institutions and multinationals to support the same.

      Nothing is coincidental. Everything is political.

  4. There was no mention of using a zinc dosage in combo with the HCQ. The France study indicated this was important to the cure rate. It is hard to believe why we don’t have reports similar to that trial yet. The amount of evil for political agenda is disgusting.

  5. The hyper-cautious warning to use it only in hospital is a bit absurd. Best is to use it early to keep people OUT of the hospital. If you are high risk or know someone high risk for COVID, please view and share Rudy Giuliani’s 30 minute July 1 interview with Dr. Vladimir Zelenko on YouTube — very serious detailed information on the protocol he has used in 2200 patients (no heart problems observed). His paper is now in peer review for publication. “Zinc is the bullet. Hydroxychloroquine is the gun.” It opens the door to zinc getting in the cell, which blunts viral reproduction before it gets out of control. $20 cost for this five day protocol. Of course must be prescribed and monitored by physician.

    Furthermore, if given right after the onset of symptoms, and with Zinc and Zithromycin, it works nearly 100% of the time, as reported by Dr. Zelenco of Orange County, NY, who treated hundreds of patients with this mix and didn’t lose a single one.

  7. Once again a responsible adult reports on a validated study which the MSM will never report on because it makes President Trump look like a rational well informed President. Makes me also want to restore statues that tell all of us the history of our great nation. MAGA 2020!

  8. Greg Solovieff MD

    There has been entirely too much negative thrown at the idea of hydroxychloroquine usage for COVID-19. The academics & bureaucrats need to shut up & let treating docs treat! This drug is cheap & safe! It’s been used for decades! What’s the problem??!! You have a high probability of dying & the naysayers don’t want you to take a cheap, safe drug that could save you??!! Outrageous pedantry!!

  9. Has there been any similar studies using HCQ + zinc? That combination has shown effectiveness in some settings….

  10. Sharyl, if you still have a copy of the letter you’ve
    removed, copy it to paper, as it might save a life of
    someone you know.

    Here’s why HCQ works:

    The “Q” in HCQ has an alkaline pH of 12! // It shifts the body to an extreme alkaline state. // Viruses can’t replicate well in above-normal pH (( normal is about 7.4 )). // Viruses love an acidic body, as do bacteria and cancers. // Sugar effects an acid pH; i.e., any amount above, say, one-tablespoon full/day of table sugar can make that shift. // So, during flu season, abstain from all table-sugar foods: sodas, ice cream, cake, candy bars, etc. // Nursing homes contribute to elderly deaths by feeding folks there too many sugary TREATS—which slam the immune system, leading to contracting colds and flu bugs.

  11. Most doctors and others have found that ZInc is very important combined with HQ as HC can let Zinc into the cell to destroy Covid-19. Too much Zinc is bad, but the body can tolerate increases in conjunction with HQ. Most of the studies I’ve seen haven’t mentioned Zinc as part of the study – I wonder if other studies showing HQ as ineffective haven’t addressed Zinc levels..

  12. https://techstartups.com/2020/03/28/dr-vladimir-zelenko-now-treated-699-coronavirus-patients-100-success-using-hydroxychloroquine-sulfate-zinc-z-pak-update/

    So much mis-information based on politics even if it causes people to die.
    HCQ +ZN + Z pack over a period of 5 to 7 days works. I don’t know if the Ford study included Zn.

  13. Attkisson is correct.

    But Trump hating progressive would rather have people die than admit Trump’s hunch about (hydroxychloroquine) might be correct.

    There is overwhelming evidence the hydroxy cocktail (hydroxychloroquine, zinc and antibiotic) has high efficacy rate when used at the first stages of the infection.

    (When administered during the later stages of the infection the hydroxy cocktail has much lower efficacy rate). The MSM continues to show the result of late treatment.

    https://covexit.com/ – Has lots of info.

  14. I am a 61 yr. old female diagnosed with COPD in February. The first week in March, I was placed on HCQ and Azithromicin (as a preventative), and have followed up with a weekly dose of 200mg of HCQ since then. No symptoms. No heart problems. How many people would have been saved, if not for the vicious hatred of Donald Trump, by the media and his own advisors.

  15. According to several doctors (maybe a lot more), HCQ taken with zinc is the most effective. Why wasn’t this included in the study? Maybe because it would have worked too well? And why hasn’t the other study where they used a lethal dose (quadruple the normal loading dose) been exposed for what it was? 396 people died as a result. It’s simple – they don’t want a cure because then they would have to let things return to the real normal (aka the old normal).

    1. THIS must be the study my GP had in mind when he told me that HCQ as a treatment for COVID-19 is dangerous, because of the high doses needed for it to be effective!

  16. If they can’t get volunteers from the groups their wanting, then bring it to the public. I would take it and so would mom, ages 65 and 85.

  17. Hi Sharyl,
    You are still missing the third part of the cocktail and that is Zinc.
    See Rudy Giuliani’s July 2, 2020 “Common Sense” entitled Doctor Has 99.3%+ Survival Rate For Covid-19 Patients.
    Dr. Zelenko describes hydroxychloroquine as the gun and zinc as the bullet. Zinc is the key but it doesn’t work without the hydroxy.
    Thank you for all you do. I’m a supporter

  18. Tadeusz Mike Cegielski

    You are one of the very few REAL investigative reporters in America!
    Thank you for your work!
    Sincerely,
    T.Mike

  19. Looks like a significant number of the patients had steroids. Recent studies indicate that dexamethasone, a steroid, has done remarkably well in treating the virus. This study, performed observationally, can’t remove that 1530 people were given HCQ and Dex. How do you know the results aren’t due to the Dex vs HCQ? Also, 267 patients who were originally counted were discounted which is a significant amount of the population (10%). They needed to eliminate other treatments (Dex) to truly say what made the difference.

  20. This was a retrospective study where people were not randomized and people who received hydroxychloroquine were twice as like to have received dexamethasone and 267 people who were still hospitalized were excluded from the data analysis. Sorry too many weaknesses to be called solid science.

  21. You must have Zinc with the HCQ. HCQ is an ionophore and makes it mush easier for Zinc to cross into cells through their membranes. HCQ is the gun and Zinc is the bullet. Once Zinc is in the cell, it takes interferes greatly with a virus’ ability to hijack the RNA for replication. One dose of Zinc shot into cells by HCQ can pause viral action for several hours. This gives the white blood cells and immune system the time it needs to keep identifying and destroying viral pathogens. And this is not just for COVID. Mankind is now going to wake up to the fact that using a Zinc ionophore (HCQ is just one type) is how to treat ANY virus. Common cold, flu, HIV, etc. Ever wonder why HCQ has been prescribed for Lupus and Rheumatoid Arthritis? It’s because those diseases aren’t “auto immune” (although from a outside perspective it looks that way), they are caused by a viral (and likely parasitic) component that the body can’t rid itself of. Getting Zinc into the cells helps for a time to stop replication and the patient feels better. Zinc is far, far better as a profalictic to prevent virus’ from taking hold and exploding throughout the body. If taken with HCQ after the virus has bloomed, it won’t now prevent it but it will help keep the immune system on top so you will recover days quicker than you would with the standard immune response we all have by nature.

  22. I want to thank all you who are determined to destroy HCQ .at every turn. I am one of those who will die a horrible death from COVID-19. Why the heck should I get something that you will not take. But are staunchly opposed to. I guess my free will is a slave to your free will. And my life does not matter. Only your opinion truly matters. By turning this into a personal battle of wills you are stressing people, harming people and killing people — like me. You remove hope. You leave people like me thinking of suicide to avoid a terrible month long death spiral. Every person I talk to, walk by, or followed behind might be the instrument of my death. Try living like that and reading self righteousness dribble. Your parents and God are proud of you. You have followed the golden rule. “Do unto others as a mob, hurt someone and run. Heck with the consequences. It does not affect me.” That was there teaching to you.

    Cannot you not let others think for themselves? Is it truly that devastating to your life or ego to allow others hope and/or think for themselves? Make what they think is the best reasoned decision for themselves? To exercise som control over their own destiny? I will pray for all of you who so quickly damn me.

  23. Physicians are not prohibited from prescribing Hydroxy. If you test positive with Covid-19 you can always ask your health care provider about Hydroxy.

    However, most health care providers are not prescribing Hydroxy for preventing or treating Covid-19 because double blind research studies showing Hydroxy to be ineffective. Hydroxy is effective in treating other illnesses and has been for many years.

    If Hydroxy was getting positive results for patients that have Covid-19, front line health care workers, caring for tens of thousands of suffering patients every day, would be the first using it.

    The authors of the Henry Ford study appear to be using Hydroxy in combination with another medication. While their results appear encouraging the study’s authors also clearly say further testing, a double blind study, is still needed before they could definitely say Hydroxy is effective in preventing or treating Covid-19. The authors want to share what they believe is encouraging news with Hydroxy yet caution more research is still needed. And unfortunately human research studies with medications takes a great amount of time.

    Again, there’s no prohibition against prescribing Hydroxy. Most healthcare providers have simply not had positive results using Hydroxy with Covid-19. Discuss the use of Hydroxy with your healthcare provider to help you decide what might be best If you test positive for Covid-19.

  24. Dr. Fauci stated in a congressional hearing today that he does not support the use of Hydroxychloroquine because there have been no studies with conclusions based on using a controlled placebo method. Is that the only way to determine treatment and prevention?

  25. Where do you find a doctor to prescribe HCQ. I keep hearing great results but you can’t get it ????
    Long Island, NY.
