s professor of epidemiology at Yale School of Public Health, I have authored over 300 peer-reviewed publications and currently hold senior positions on the editorial boards of several leading journals. I am usually accustomed to advocating for positions within the mainstream of medicine, so have been flummoxed to find that, in the midst of a crisis, I am fighting for a treatment that the data fully support but which, for reasons having nothing to do with a correct understanding of the science, has been pushed to the sidelines. As a result, tens of thousands of patients with COVID-19 are dying unnecessarily. Fortunately, the situation can be reversed easily and quickly.
I am referring, of course, to the medication hydroxychloroquine. When this inexpensive oral medication is given very early in the course of illness, before the virus has had time to multiply beyond control, it has shown to be highly effective, especially when given in combination with the antibiotics azithromycin or doxycycline and the nutritional supplement zinc.
On May 27, I published an article in the American Journal of Epidemiology (AJE) entitled, "Early Outpatient Treatment of Symptomatic, High-Risk COVID-19 Patients that Should be Ramped-Up Immediately as Key to the Pandemic Crisis." That article, published in the world's leading epidemiology journal, analyzed five studies, demonstrating clear-cut and significant benefits to treated patients, plus other very large studies that showed the medication safety.

Speaker Pelosi and Chuck Schumer are directly and criminally responsible for the politicization/weaponizing of Hydroxychloroquine.
This got politicized by democraps immediately and they have deaths on their hands.
“Newsweak allowed this?”
Something has happened to Newsweek over the past year. I have noticed quite a few right leaning articles lately. Have they been sold again and some sane person bought it?
“BLM/ANTIFA burns Newsweek building. Details at eleven. “
Yes - I didn’t look in FR archives but we had posted here that it was bought by I believe a more sane American Chinese Entrepreneur? I may have the ethnicity wrong.
People who have lost loved ones and those who are being denied Hydroxychloroquine need to start suing the socks off those making decisions for their lives.

Good to see Harvey isn’t giving up yet,
Every high profile politician that falls ill with Covid-19 is treated and CURED with Hydroxy, and lives.
Good enough for me.
President Trump could do a great troll by announcing that he is going to do an executive order where only Republicans can receive HCQ.
BLM= Black Lights Matter
It seems to be banned even in Florida. Several people I know have requested it for WuHan flu and have been told by their doctors that they cannot prescribe it lest they lose their licenses.
Has Newsweek swallowed a red pill? Or are they just tired of being broke?
LOL — good one!
My wife and I have been on vacation in the mountains of North Carolina for the past week. NC is rigid on masks for grocery stores, etc.
I’ve had 5 conversations on HCQ. Views differ, as you can imagine.
I can’t remember my first conversation, except that it was favorable. My second conversation was with a retailer. We talked about the current state of affairs and I hazarded the view that taking HCQ early stops covid-19 in its tracks. I a little was surprised by her complete agreement. I’ll call these people normal Americans.
I had a conversation with a lady who lives in the complex where we are staying. She lives 6 months in Florida and 6 months in NC. She said it was interesting to see which stocks were doing well, and which badly. So I said, “you must be an investor.” She said yes, bought her first stock when she was 20, and investments made it possible to now own two places. She went on about the crazy politicization of masks. So I brought up HCQ as something that had been politicized. She said that I must be a “believer.” That was a surprise as I was not familiar with that label. But I said “yes I am.” She told me HCQ would kill me. I started to respond and she cut the conversation short. Nice lady, by and large, but I will classify her as an elitist.
Next I spoke with a scientist likewise staying where I’m staying. We we had good conversations on a few topics. We differ on emphasis. For example, while he is concerned about voter disenfranchisement, I’m concerned about voter fraud. He complained about Trump’s excessive influence on scientific matters. I figured he was talking about HCQ. I responded that censorship is the biggest problem. I said all points of view should be presented and Americans could then decide for themselves. He was skeptical that the average American could decide well. Another elitist.
My last conversation was with a couple on a walking trail to a waterfall. Ordinary Americans again. Their son is in college. Other students have contracted the virus. The son is in quarantine and will likely return home after it is over. I said that I would take HCQ as soon as I had symptoms, if only I could get my hands on it. He agreed.
So that’s my sample and I how I interpreted the results.
I know the left is fervidly against HCQ. I think that is just one more reason why President Trump should authorize the use of HCQ.
Most liberals are liberal in policy, but conservative in their personal life. Sure the two elitists would complain bitterly if Trump made HCQ available. They are already complaining on a number of topics. But if they contracted covid-19, they would take a second look at HCQ, if it were available.
Here is the Hillsdale college commencement that gives you a good idea of how to take care of this virus.
You can watch the video at this link: (teachers still teaching and students still learning)
Simple solution; make HCQ and Azitromycin OTC drugs along with Zinc Sulfate so anyone with a cough and/or fever can go to the local drug store and self medicate with in the first 48 hours of symptoms....Pandemic over.....If you wait to make an appointment for tests and another 5 days for results and you are over 60 years of age, you’re dead. Dr. Fauci should know this and probably does but has been instructed by Big Pharma not to relate this, he is in it for the big bucks.........a vaccine in three more months......
That would be nice, but democraps who have reflexive hate and stupidity will not make that happen.
They are trying to become a real media? Real reporting? They are straying WAY OFF of the Deep State Plantation and will soon be punished...
Yeah, and Fauci himself likely takes it as his own prevention. The way that he acts makes it likely that he has some kind of protection with no mask on.
