Note: Patients are asked to consult a doctor.
Several studies have now confirmed what some front-line physicians have been saying since March: Early treatment of Covid patients with zinc and the malaria drug hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) is indeed effective. US doctors have reported a reduction in hospitalisation rates of up to 84% and a stabilisation of the health condition often within a few hours.
Zinc has antiviral properties, HCQ supports zinc absorption and has additional antiviral properties. These drugs are supplemented by doctors if necessary with an antibiotic (to prevent a bacterial superinfection) and a blood thinner (to prevent infection-related thromboses and embolisms).
The alleged or actual negative results with HCQ in some studies were based, according to the current state of knowledge, on delayed use (intensive care patients), excessive doses (up to 2400mg per day), manipulated data sets, or ignored contraindications (e.g., favism or heart problems).
Sadly, the WHO, many media and some authorities may have caused considerable and unnecessary damage to public health in recent months through their negative stance, which may have been politically motivated or influenced by pharmaceutical interests.
French professor of medicine Jaouad Zemmouri, for example, estimates that Europe could have avoided up to 78% of Covid deaths by adopting a consistent HCQ treatment strategy.
HCQ contraindications such as favism or heart problems need to be considered, but the recent Ford Medical Center study achieved a reduction in hospital deaths of around 50% even with 56% African-American patients (who more often have favism).
However, the crucial point in the treatment of high-risk patients is early intervention as soon as the first typical symptoms develop and even without a PCR test in order to prevent progression of the disease and avoid intensive care hospitalization.
Most countries did the exact opposite: after the infection wave in March, they imposed a lockdown, so that infected and frightened people were locked up in their homes without treatment and often waited until they developed severe respiratory distress and had to be taken directly to the intensive care unit, where they were often sedated and intubated and were likely to die.
It is conceivable that a zinc HCQ combination protocol, which is simple, safe and inexpensive, could make more complex drugs, vaccinations and measures largely obsolete.
More recently, a case study from France showed that in four of the first five patients treated with the much more expensive drug Remdesivir from the pharmaceutical company Gilead, treatment had to be discontinued due to liver issues and kidney failure.

That would have involved an implicit acknowledgement that Trump was right about something, and so wasn't going to be happening.
Murdering main stream media whores have blood on their hands. Hatred of Trump meant more to them than lives of little people. Despicable. Words fail.

Gee....it’s like they wanted so many to die.....to boost the numbers, all while bashing a proven treatment...for the sake of BIG Pharma $$.
Evil.
hey a ton of fearpers here WERE CNN parrots
no apologies from them to us they slamdered and tried to discredit
So were the European victims of COVID muzzlimes or native Europeans?
Oregon governor Kate Brown still has it illegal in Oregon

Between the demonization of HCQ and putting COVID positives in nursing homes, imagine how few would have died in this country.

Dr Zelenko....one of the pioneers of the HCQ/Zinc protocol said, in a recent inteview, that the heart contraindications are VERY rare....very minimal, and, IIRC...have only been (that he has seen) in very few AIDS patients (w/preexisting conditions.).
So, this is just another scare tactic they try to use, to keep Drs from treating patients w/this proven treatment.
I know two people who've been taking it, for several years, both with no problems.
HCQ should be — and should have been — an OTC drug.
