This is easy, since they don’t believe Trump, all TDS sufferers should refuse any treatment with hydroxychloroquine, and let us idiot Trump supporters (and non haters) have it instead. Sounds fair to me.
Yes I’ve read two of his reports and his letter to the FDA/CDC/Trump outlining his protocol. That Doctor adds Zinc to the therapy, I am not 100% sure why but I think it has to do with preventing virus from finding cell receptors to feed on.
I also saw another NY doctor on TV saying he gave the combination to over 100 patients with only one who passed.
If you add it up you have a pool of about 2000 patients, with only 2 deaths. So that would be 0.1% mortality rate, same as the regular flu. Compared to standard treatment (which is basically nothing at all except wait it out and hope you don’t die) where the mortality rate could be anywhere from 0.7%-5.0% (we can’t really know yet) the results appear to be truly effective.
It is not a perfect clinical trial but the odds that we found an effective treatment. I am no MD or statistician, but IMO this regimen should be given right away to people who are symptomatic and with underlying conditions and/or older, or anyone of any age or state who is showing worsening symptoms.
Ok so he comes up with the idea for the experiment and gives it to a grad student/post doc to do the experiment. So whose idea was it?????? That is why his name goes on the paper. It was his idea in the first place.
What they don't accuse Raoult and his co-authors of his fraudulent results or sloppy work or trivial experiments which would be the only legitimate complaint.
None of this goes to the underlying question - does the stuff work or not? The ad hominems are irrelevant.
Sounds like Washington DC.
Yes, I just replied to another poster about that NY doctor. Remarkable results. He has a protocol developed for when and to whom to administer the drugs, and also adds Zinc...
That’s just one of the many things that is so bad about our media these days. They don’t even bother to do the basic research. Or if they do, they are using search engines that are censoring or ranking down certain information for whatever reason. Had this author any sense to research the drug combination and the several places it has been used he wouldn’t be so blazé about calling it ‘hype’ and ‘Trumpian’.
And since when does one’s personality or personal history matter to science? It either works, or it doesn’t. I don’t care about the doctor’s background I care about his cleverness in figuring out this combination and the data they provide that helps all of us.
All 3 drugs are cheap generics that cost no more than $20 all-in.
Great catch! I can speak a little French and even that went over my head. Freudian? Or a hint?
Interesting video. Turns out Zinc is the Kungflu killer.
The zinc ions block the virus replication sites in the cells. The chloroquine enables the zinc ions to get into the cells.
You sly dog! I like the way you think!
I don’t even know what “Trumpian” means. I think the author let slip what he really thought through the attempt to write an article undermining the POTUS and the successes seen by the drugs touted by Trump.
By calling it “Trumpian”, if it works, the author is showing his dismay that Trump may have been right.
He doesn’t score well on rate my professor

Unfortunately he has also been dismissed as "Trumpian" for his braggadocio and his closeness with Giuliani. Dr. Oz of TV fame was dismissed because he knew Trump during his celebrity days. So far no one outside of Trump's orbit or without his predilections has championed this drug.
I’m glad you posted a thread about so we can see what the FR community thinks about it. I really don’t like ever reading Slate so this is a good way to see the impact they have which as far as I can tell is zero.
Yes but the Slate morons didn’t mention him did they? I never read Slate. I saw the headline and knew they were aiming at Dr. Raoult in France.
But Dr. Zelenko, why not smear him as well?
The answer is they would suffer massive blowback from the NY Jewish Hasidic community if they attacked Dr. Zelenko. So they won’t dare disparage Dr. Zelenko else they get their asses handed back to them.
According to one critic
Through the eyes of the grad students actually doing all the "work", I'm sure that's how pretty much all university research projects look. In reality, I'll bet Raoult is contributing a lot more than his signature.
These articles are great, they call attention to a treatment ‘recommended’ by Trump, while complaining about it.
Slate is reaching an audience that our side can’t, carrying to them the good news.
Who in the blazes reads Slute?
