As 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.
Physicians who have been using these medications in the face of widespread skepticism have been truly heroic. They have done what the science shows is best for their patients, often at great personal risk. I myself know of two doctors who have saved the lives of hundreds of patients with these medications, but are now fighting state medical boards to save their licenses and reputations.

I’m surprised Newsweak published this.
Wonder why Newsweek published this...
HCQ, prednisone, early works.
BUT HOW TO STOP the next ATROCITY:
SARS-MERS_CoV-23??????
STOP FauXi, SoroXi, PeloXi, Xi, Gates and WHO <-——
RE: Link to the AJE article below..
Thanks for the link. I was looking for that.
With Doctor Fauci and the Rat party have blood on their hands about this.
Great post. This could have been over in April had it not been for a corrupt Dr Fauci and others at the FDA, CDC, etc., and a hysterical media bent on deception.
I would be down with that. How do to propose to make that happen? The devil is in the details.
You’re welcome!
Still wondering why Newsweek published this...
Know the jug is almost up so they’re trying to regain some credibility? They don’t want the vaccine, either?
It’s a puzzlement.
It is high time we take the politics out of treating this virus.
Science be damned, it is a mere cult.
The True Word is what the Xi theocracy says it is.
The beatings will continue until moral improves.
If they arent stopped, they will use bioterrorism again with a new genetically engineered virus. Soros needs to be on a terrorist list. Get all Chinese scientists out of here along with graduate students. Clean out the NIH. Follow the money trail from Soros. Just to name a few. There is ALWAYS something that can be done.
Throw this one on the ever-deepening pile of doctors who are smarter than Fauci who Trump isn’t listening to.
Trump should reference this TODAY at his news conference:
Cite the article, author, study - Then say: “I challenge the FAKE news media and every fake news journalist to dispute this article,the author, and all the recent good news about Hydroxychloroquine. I know the fake news media’s hatred of me drives every story, but, in its reckless drive to harm me, it does a tremendous dis-service to every American. COVID patients according to Dr. Harvey Risch ARE benefiting from therapy using Hydroxychloroquine. That is the overwhelming evidence.
I challenge the FAKE News to give Dr. Risch the opportunity to talk about his findings. They probable won’t because as much as FAKE News talks about the importance of Science and Data, they are only interested in Science and Data that fits the narrative they want to push.”
Trump should invite Dr. Atlas and Dr. Risch to participate in a couple COVID taskforce meetings and pressers.
God bless this eminent scientist for coming forward. We need people like him to further the unmasking of the political nature of the response to CCP virus.
This is a good, sensible and practical article. Thanks for posting. Let’s hope that the powers that be come to their senses regarding this cheap and effective regimen. It’s such a shame that so many lives were lost because of TDS applied to medicine.
