Really interesting info in the Dr. OZ interview.
He has been looking at insurance records trying to find any Lupus patients who have gotten covid-19 and hasn’t found any yet.
He spoke with one of the heads of the Lupus Society and in his private practice this doctor treats 800 patients and the doctor says none of his patients have come down with Covid-19.
The doctor and a lot of his colleagues are “stunned” by a lot of the talk about “side effects.” They’re the ones who use the drug. Says they have used it for decades without complications. Says we don’t check EKGs and all these eye issues that are brought up only happen after 5 years of chronic use. He’s not quite sure why there is a lot of “hoopla” about it when they have been using it without those nervous anxieties. So he is pushing back a little and sending a letter to the FDA accordingly.
This info matches the results found in the Chinese study. None of their Lupus patients contracted covid-19 nor had any symptoms and none of their covid-19 patients had ever taken Hydroxychloroquine prior to this trial.
Initial info looks positive about the prophylactic properties of this drug.
Hydroxychloroquine works by shutting off the the COVID-19 virus’s access via the ACE2 receptor into the alveolar epithelial cell. It’s all plain cell mechanics. I am sure scientist have observed Hydroxychloroquine’s role in shutting down the virus’s cell entry process into the cell with the power of the electron microscope.
Those with less than the required scientific knowledge, give misinformation and supposition without anything near the understanding needed to determine Hydroxychloroquine’s role in shutting down the virus’s ability to reproduce itself in the cell.
