Study finds 84% fewer hospitalizations for patients treated with controversial drug hydroxychloroquine

Via The Washington Examiner

A peer-reviewed study measuring the effectiveness of a controversial drug cocktail that includes hydroxychloroquine concluded that the treatment lowered hospitalizations and mortality rates of coronavirus patients.

The study, set to be published in the International Journal of Antimicrobial Agents in December, determined that “Low-dose hydroxychloroquine combined with zinc and azithromycin was an effective therapeutic approach against COVID-19.”

A total of 141 patients diagnosed with the coronavirus were treated with the three-drug cocktail over a period of five days and compared to a control group of 377 people who tested positive for the virus but were not given the treatment.

The study found that “the odds of hospitalisation of treated patients was 84% less than in the untreated patients,” and only one patient died from the group being treated with the drugs compared to 13 deaths in the untreated group.

Hydroxychloroquine became a controversial issue during the height of the coronavirus pandemic when President Trump championed the drug as an effective coronavirus treatment, which immediately drew criticism from the media and several health experts.

Twitter censored a video over the summer showing doctors touting the effectiveness of the drug.

Additionally, a July study conducted by the Henry Ford Health System in Michigan concluded that patients taking hydroxychloroquine were more likely to survive the coronavirus.

Ivermectin works better than HCQ in several studies. Regardless, both are very effective, safe and VERY cheap yet, we never hear of their success through the MSM outlets. Isn’t that curious. Bastards…

If it isn’t in the news, it didn’t happen.

Here is a solution we can all agree on:

Let all Trump supporters take hydroxychloroquine combined with zinc and azithromycin.

Let all Biden supporters get the vaccine.

Read this quote a few weeks ago (but can’t remember the author’s name right now): “Let’s test the vaccine on politicians first. If they live, the vaccine is safe; if they die, the country is safe.”

The only problem with HCQ is that NO ONE in the establishment made any money off of it…..

I live outside the USA and when I went to the pharmacy (owned by a friend) to get the h-z-a package and hold it just in case, she had a difficult time obtaining the ingredients and was told by distributor that they were being discouraged by “authorities” from offering them. She got them for me though. This was about a month ago (?), when the Trump -h-z-a brouhaha began. She told me last week that she had a second request from someone here and this time she was unable to get it. Hmm.

I’m in an “at-risk” group, as she knows, so she’s also getting me two other things (don’t know US brand names) that stengthen the auto-immune system “because the scuttlebutt is that they’re going to disappear too”.

My suggestion: befriend your local pharmacist! I should add, however, that here prescriptions are often not required even for controlled medications and if a fuss is made, the local clinic docs will provide a back-dated one if the “patient” is someone known to be a solid citizen.

They sell Quercetin over the counter at Walmart and many health stores. It’s a natural Zinc ionophore similar to HCQ in its action. Pick up a bottle of zinc supplement (~20 mg is good) at the same time. Add some Vitamin C &D and you’re good to go. Stay well.

So, essentially, the MSM, Doctors, moguls who make crappy software, politicians, patients and others with the co-morbidity of Trump Derangement Syndrome are personally, through the spread of disinformation, responsible for the deaths of over 250,000 American Citizens. Think of it as a modern day, medical Holodomor.

The FDA will threaten to remove a physician’s medical license if they prescribe HCQ. The government bogus tests wait until 19 fully develops before partical application is allowed. Thank you Fauci.

Actually, the FDA can do nothing directly, but the DEA can rescind their DEA drug license for writing prescriptions, and the FDA can just have the state medical board revoke their license. Same end result – no longer practicing medicine. Government “permission” to keep yourself alive, feed your family, and otherwise take care of yourself, is beyond immoral, and MUST be abolished. It should ONLY be up to the consumer if they wish to do business with someone, and a free market of independent certification agencies MUST be allowed to provide certification for those who choose it or demand it as consumers.

If the medical community ACTUALLY cared about the health of the citizenry, and not simply running cover for the pharmaceutical cartel, they would have been recommending the distribution of vitamin D supplements (preceded by vit. D level tests for everyone), along with quercetin, zinc, and NAC. That should have been an on-going supplementation regimen for all Americans, along with easily available (from a pharmacist without a prescription), pack of HCQ, azithromycin, and zinc for use at home if symptoms developed. The pre-packaged pills (say, a course of 10 days worth), would include key symptoms to watch for, and when to contact a physician either for additional drugs or greater medical intervention in the case of worsening symptoms, etc.

Now don’t get me wrong. I’m a libertarian who thinks this easily could have been managed through charitable means too, but if the government is going to waste hundreds of millions anyway, THAT would have been a far better investment than in masks, economically-destructive lockdowns, and all the other things that have not only destroyed our country, but ultimately have prevented a very manageable and necessary exposure of all otherwise healthy folks to this virus that will be with us FOREVER – regardless of the lies that Clueless Joe (and John Ossoff if you elect him) are going to get rid of it once and for all.

Maybe that’s because nobody is really infected with the virus in the first place.
