More evidence about the benefits of hydroxychloroquine
With all the other news, it’s easy to forget how the drug hydroxychloroquine was trashed after Trump had the audacity to mention it as being promising. But let’s not forget, because lives were lost as a result of the anti-Trump response.
It’s very sad:
President Trump expressed optimism based on studies in France and China, and the media freaked out. The president’s political opposition would go on to cling to any proof the drug would not work and suppress any information that it would. This politicization culminated in the horrific study published by Lancet that the publication quietly retracted.
However, the damage was already done. The World Health Organization suspended trials immediately after the study published in Lancet. Switzerland, which had been using the treatment, prohibited the use of the drug in COVID-19 shortly after that on May 27th. The retraction was so stealth that the ban was not lifted in Switzerland until June 11th.
This window allowed French researchers to analyze what happened in the entire population of COVID-19 patients during the ban. They used the case fatality rate (CFR) as the measure observed. The graph is stunning.
Here’s the graph:
Please read the whole piece.
Another sad thing is that most people will never know, because the same media outlets that helped cause the problem aren’t likely to call our attention to what they themselves have done.
[NOTE: I wonder whether the researchers who did this study will be canceled because of where it led them.]
Media lied
people died
Nothing to see
Sucks to be thee
Squirrel!
I saw another graph today, but can’t find the link, showing fatality rates vs countries using HCQ. Highest were those not using, then moderate use which included the US, the lowest were those using extensively. Yep, politics kills people.
So yes indeedy, it’s official and we have proof: TDS *KILLS* people.
Sadly, TDS sufferers are absolutely immune to both guilt and shame.
A priest we are close to who is a Chaplain at a hospital in Washington and ministering in Covid unit told us back in May that people were dying because doctors were being kept from being able to use this drug. He knew of specific hospitals where it was forbidden. He is on loan from an archdiocese on the African continent. A very learned man, apparently with more medical sense than these administrators overseeing our national pandemic. Even before it was confirmed that my husband was positive for SarsCoV-2 I requested the hydroxychloroquine but was turned down repeatedly. By the time it was finally administered it was too late, the cytokine storm had begun.
Quercetin which is available in certain foods as well as a supplement is a zinc ionophore, though probably not as effective as high doses of HCQ. I was taking additional zinc but my doctor told me to scale back. However, it turns out that the eye vitamins have plenty of Zn. I also take additional vitamin C and D. In the evening, I take melatonin to make sure I get enough sleep. I still may get C19, but hopefully it will be a milder case.

Based on the preprints I’ve seen in some of my travels, much time was wasted testing it on people who were already being ravaged by their out-of-control immune systems, which resulted in the “See, it doesn’t work,” results that were expected.
Neo, you are Missing the link to the article.
It’s not this article, but here’s great news about Herd Immunity coming far sooner than was thought.

The french original article includes updates, the english translation doesn’t.
When President Trump appeared on TV wearing a face mask, the media announced that face masks don’t work and people should stop wearing them.
I have a college friend who spent his working life in big pharma. When this came out, his TDS was so virulent that he kept saying we had no idea of its safety. Complete lie. Others might be excused for ignorance but this guy….knew. And lied.
