Is the CDC Downplaying the Efficacy of Hydroxychloroquine for Covid-19 To 'Resist' Trump?
PJ Media ^ | 09/17/2020 | Matt Margolis

Health and Human Services Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs Michael Caputo recently warned on Facebook live that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) “was harboring a ‘resistance unit’ to Trump.”

Caputo alleged that career scientists “haven’t gotten out of their sweatpants except for meetings at coffee shops” to plot “how they’re going to attack Donald Trump.”

“There are scientists who work for this government who do not want America to get well, not until after Joe Biden is president,” Caputo added.

While the media has tried to present Caputo as unhinged, could he actually be right? Is it actually possible that there are experts at the CDC who are more concerned with “resisting” Trump than public health?

I think the answer lies in the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) from September 4. Titled, “Hydroxychloroquine and Chloroquine Prescribing Patterns by Provider Specialty Following Initial Reports of Potential Benefit for COVID-19 Treatment — United States, January–June 2020” which details the increase in hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine prescriptions this year. The report is largely just a detailed analysis of the number of prescriptions this year but not-so-discreetly included in the report is the following claim in its summary:

“Earlier this year, [hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine] were widely reported to be of potential benefit in the prevention and treatment of COVID-19. However, current data indicate that the potential benefits of these drugs do not outweigh their risks.”

Excuse me?

The most commonly cited claim against hydroxychloroquine (echoed in the CDC’s MMWR) is fatal heart damage, which was reported in two bogus studies, the debunked VA study, and another flawed study in Brazil from April. But as veteran virologist Steven Hatfill explained, the media never mentioned that the Brazilian doctors in that study “were giving patients lethal cumulative doses

There have been nearly a hundred studies on the efficacy of hydroxychloroquine, most of them peer-reviewed, which indicate that hydroxychloroquine has a positive impact on mortality, particularly when administered early.

A study published last week out of Saudi Arabia found that “Early intervention with HCQ-based therapy in patients with mild to moderate symptoms at presentation is associated with lower adverse clinical outcomes among COVID-19 patients, including hospital admissions, ICU admission, and/or death.”

Another study published earlier this month of nursing home patients found that patients not treated with hydroxychloroquine found that those receiving standard treatment had a mortality rate more than five times higher than those who were treated with hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin.

In July, a large-scale, peer-reviewed study conducted by the Henry Ford Health System concluded that hydroxychloroquine successfully lowered mortality rates for hospitalized coronavirus patients.

There are currently about a hundred studies on the efficacy of hydroxychloroquine in treating COVID-19 (61 of them peer-reviewed) that overwhelmingly show positive results, particularly when administered early.

Yet, according to the CDC, “the potential benefits of [hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine] do not outweigh their risks.”

Yeah, okay.

A) How long has The CDC been around?

B) Which diseases have they prevented or eradicated?

Thanks for the ping.

Yes, obviously the CDC Downplaying the Efficacy of Hydroxychloroquine for Covid-19 To ‘Resist’ Trump!!

Also, Dr Atlas or Risch...I can’t remember which one, said on one of the nightly news shows, that HCQ can actually be of some BENEFIT, in some cardiac situations. Just the opposite of what these gov’t ‘scientists’ have said/pushed.

Thanks for posting this.

Change the subject.

The virus is a vote losing issue. No matter what is done.

Talk about riots. That wins votes.

Fauci's drug companies CANNOT fast track vaccines and drugs if there is an EFFECTIVE treatment. THEREFORE, FAUCI has worked tirelessly to prove there isn't.

The DimWIT's scamdemic cannot go on, and on, and on if people know that take a few pills with first symptoms and you have over a 99% chance of having nothing worse than common cold symptoms.

The Drug companies MUST STOP HCQ. The DemWITS MUST STOP HCQ.

Embarrasing Trump is a minor benefit.

These doctors are idiots.

HCQ+Zn stops the virus from replicating. HCQ allows Zinc to get into the cells where Zinc normally cannot enter without help. Zinc is the virus fighting element of the combination.

The moron doctors get a sick person in, they order a test and then send them home without treatment to await results. In my case, I was tested on Tuesday, got results on Friday afternoon. By waiting for test results, the patient is assured of a much more serious outcome.

In my case, I found a FRONTLINE Dr. I was prescribed HCQ+Zn+antibiotic. The next day, chest congestion was much improved, two days later I got my smell and taste back. If I had waited for test results, I may have wound up in the emergency room or ICU.

If you take the drugs within 5 days of first symptoms, you have a near 100% chance of having a positive outcome. Wait to day SIX, and the medical profession may get the chance to kill you.

Or you may get lucky as most do and have just minor to NO symptoms. YOUR CHOICE.

YALE Dr says it is the BEST results he's ever seen

If you don't have HCQ+Zn in your medicine cabinet now, count yourself STUPID.

partly

but the real reason is fauci is tied to soros and gates who are tied to vaccines and alternate drugs for this

if hcq were recognized as being effective against hcq, all the other drugs and vaccines would not be allowed fast track status as they have now

it means money
