Respectfully, it’s not that they are afraid it won’t work, but they need to understand how it works and if it can do harm to a percent of the population. It’s not a pharma greed thing. It’s not a dem thing,. It’s a “First Do No Harm” thing. Not agreeing or disagreeing...just explaining.

I understand all that, I just disagree with the premise in the same way I disagree with not allowing terminal cancer patients access to experimental drugs.

If by "first do no harm" you're allowing people that might have otherwise have been saved to die because of inaction then you are, in fact, doing harm.

I realize that's not the stance of the medical community which takes that mantra as gospel. I just disagree with it. It's avoidance of risk on the part of the medical community at the expense of patients.

Most of these predictions are educated guesses at best.

Wrong article. sorry.

Hydroxychloroquine 200mg twice a day for 5 days

In the French study, Gautret et al. used 600mg of hydroxychloroquine daily.

If anyone knows the dosages of hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin that will be used in the hopefully-upcoming New York study, please post them.

You know how you can tell this drug works 100%? Democrap Governors in 2 states are trying to ban it and more to follow. Anything that benefits the people you can bet Democrats will ban it.

IMO, given the absence of other treatments the only reason not to use it would be potential negative side effects. Hydroxychloroquine being approved in 1955 and Azithromycin in 1988, both being used during pregnancy, I'd assume the medical community has an understanding of potential side effects. Seems to me it should be the decision of the Doctor and the patient. No disrespect to the Governor of Nevada who prefers banning it, until testing is done and high risk patients either recover or die without it. After all, I'm not a Governor. But if in the situation, family members having taken both, I'd want it. Zinc sulfate I know nothing about.

[Pearls Before Swine]

I just looked at my vitamin tablet composition... and it has 11 mg of “zinc” (not sure whether sulfate form or not, don’t think it matters) on the label.

Dr. Zelenko is prescribing a higher dose for the one-week regimen.

[prophetic]

“Controversial" is a word that they use to diminish & ridicule an object or person.

Its like the MSM and the democraps saying that Trump is always “controversial” even when everything he says is the truth.

For once, a stereotype is useful. Take this pill. Recommended by Jooo! doctors!-)

FDA SAYS HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE AND CHLOROQUINE CAN BE USED TO TREAT CORONAVIRUS

A Jewish doctor....no way.

[SJackson]

The zinc wouldn’t bother me either were I ill. An anecdotally successful treatment is better than waiting a year when you’re ill.
