The World Health Organization (WHO) on Wednesday announced its plan to study three potential treatments for COVID-19 patients in its existing trial that spans across 52 countries.
As part of the new phase in the trial, researchers will test the effects of three anti-inflammatory drugs among hospitalized COVID-19 patients. The manufacturers of the drugs — artesunate, imatinib and infliximab — donated them to be studied for the trial. ...
...Researchers in more than 600 hospitals in 52 countries will participate in the study in what the WHO called “an unprecedented global collaboration for COVID-19.”
The WHO’s trial previously involved fewer countries and determined that remdesivir, hydroxychloroquine, lopinavir and interferon had “little or no effect” on hospitalized...

Why would they do that? I thought “science” meant focusing on vaccines, and making sure nothing else is studied or acknowledged.
So they can do a bogus study and say they don’t work.
Why doesn’t WHO, CDC FDA or congress do a study on repurposing all ready approved drugs for therapeutic or prophylaxis on C19???
Ivermectin?
Hydroxichloroquine?
No money to be made with those.
Ugh! No money to be made from those old drugs. Besides, Trump spoke highly of them, so they must be no good.
Only 20 months after we knew there was a problem.
IMHO...They are just waiting till the companies who put up the money and ability for the vaccine to be made (good or bad) are getting their money back and a profit. Sorry ‘bout the cynism...but 20 months?
They claim to have studied HCQ: "The WHO’s trial previously involved fewer countries and determined that remdesivir, hydroxychloroquine, lopinavir and interferon had “little or no effect” on hospitalized COVID-19 patients."
Of course, around here we knew that back in April 2020. HCQ was helpful when given at first onset of symptoms (with zinc and one other thing that escapes me right now) and was useless when symptoms had already become severe enough for hospitalization
The third ingredient in that cocktail was an antibiotic azithromycin
This week I went out to lunch with a retired military virologist. She has not taken the jab and stocked up on HCQ.
She is basing her decision on a paper she read in 2005 that supported the use of HCQ to fight a Covid virus. It was written by Fauci.
She also mentioned that emergency use vaccine laws apply when there are no other treatment. She said that is why Ivermectin and HCQ (which are all valid treatments) are being dismissed.
I think she nailed it.
The US set this precedent long ago:
1967 The FDA stops the use of an experimental cancer vaccine which was producing significant results. Developed by James Rand and Eernest Ayre, a recognized cancer specialist. The Rand vaccine produced significant improvement in terminal patients in over 30% of patients. It cured tumors and breast cancer in four to six months, without radiation, surgery or chemotherapy. The FDA Commissioner was James L. Goddard, the same man who persecuted the use of DMSO. Goddard used the DMSO issue in 1966 in an attempt to foster a medical dictatorship in the US in collusion with the medical and pharmaceutical industries, and remove viable treatments from public access.
HCQ and Ivermectin have a great track record of cure, but nobody or physicians prescribe it.
1972 the World Health Organization (WHO) Bulletin No.47 refers to creation of an immune virus and suggests that a useful way to study the effects would be “to put it into a vaccination program and observe the results.” It is theorized that WHO used the smallpox vaccination program in Central Africa for this study, since the spread of HIV infection coincides precisely with the most intense and recent smallpox vaccination campaigns. Information on the Central African countries most infected with HIV precisely matches WHO figures indicating the number of people vaccinated in these areas. The virus requested would selectively destroy the T-cell system. (1972 Federation Proceedings of WHO).
those studies have been done and some are still going on - over 66 for IV and as many or more for HCQ.
There are limited in-hospital treatments, so being able to increase the options means more ways to interrupt the damage the virus is going to do to organs. And reduces the likelihood of the virus building a resistance to in-hospital treatments.
Do you know what you take with ivermectin?
They’ll find something that is extremely expensive; nothing cheap or that’s been endorsed by President Trump.
That was the mistake that Fauci made with AIDS...besides refusing to call it as chiefly transmitted by homosexual behavior.
Ivermectin is dosed according to body mass and symptoms. Some things should not be taken with it.

That was a political decision. They knew that the American people wouldn't support taking funding from cancer research, heart disease research, Alzheimer's research, Leukemia research, Parkinson's research... to fund researching a disease with such a narrow target population that could eradicate it themselves with better behavioral practices.
No, they had to scare Americans into thinking they could get it, too, so they would accept funding the research into it.
