Dr. Fauci calls the Henry Ford study on Hydroxychloroquine and COVID-19 'flawed'
WXYZ ABC DETROIT ^ | 08/01/2020

Posted on 08/01/2020 7:47:16 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

Dr. Anthony Fauci called a study by Henry Ford Health System on the effectiveness of using hydroxychloroquine to treat COVID-19 "flawed" during testimony in front of a House subcommittee on Friday afternoon.

The study, which has been touted by President Donald Trump and other Republicans, contradicts other studies that found the drug does not effectively treat COVID-19.

Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer from Missouri, a Republican from Missouri, asked Fauci about the study and said that a doctor told him if zinc is involved, the drug would work.

Fauci responded by breaking down the study, saying it was a non-controlled, retrospective cohort study that had "a number of issues."

Those include, according to Fauci, the fact that people who received hydroxychloroquine were also using corticosteroids.

"We know from another study (corticosteroids) gives benefit in reducing deaths with advanced disease," he said.

"That study is a flawed study, and I think anyone who examines it carefully is that it is not a randomized placebo-controlled trial.

Luetkemeyer interrupted Fauci, saying the study had been peer-reviewed.

“It doesn’t matter, you can peer-review something that’s a bad study," Fauci responded. "The fact is it is not a randomized placebo-controlled trial. The point that I think is important, because we all want to keep an open mind, any and all of the randomized placebo-controlled trials, which is the gold standard of determining if something is effective, none of them have shown any efficacy for hydroxychloroquine."

Somebody neds to ask him if he is going to hold off recommending a vaccine until they have all gone through large scale double blind testing. I mean we need the right solution. It is not enough that the vaccine not kill you it has to be efficacious otherwise we will be sending people out there with a false sense of security.

The studies that show HCQ is dangerous have all used doses that would kill a healthy horse or have been given to patients who already had two legs in the grave. The claim for this drug from the very beginning was that it was an effective prophylactic if administered early. If that is not the claim being investigated by the study then it is meaningless. Science, science, science says you test the hypothesis, hypothesis, hypothesis not something that has nothing to do with the hypothesis like how much HCQ can you give a deathly ill man to give him a heart attack.

Wait a minute.... it’s now Keiths and all this time I thought they were Chads.

I’m so confused.

All studies are intrinsically "flawed" because it would take years for a controlled clinical trial that would pass muster by the FDA, by which time COVID-19 will be a distant memory.

In the mean time, it might work.

Everyone who was sent to Vietnam was given chloroquine and the media had not one single conniption fit about the drug.

This is a reference to it:

https://onenewsnow.com/perspectives/bryan-fischer/2020/04/27/fauci-knew-about-hcq-in-2005-nobody-needed-to-die

It was deemed “False” by “Politifact,” but it has great points. True, this one study was only in a test-tube and it was CQ not HCQ and you can technically say a long-lasting preventative is not an actual “vaccine,” but the rest is fine. These are minor points meant to deride the ONN writer.

The article is truly posted at the NIH, but the journal is not the journal of the NIH—an exceedingly minor point.

Does he also label as flawed the highly manipulated studies that show hydroxychloroquine is dangerous? No. Agenda? Yes.

Fauci has anything but an open mind. He is an active saboteur trying to bring down Trump and the US. He should be held responsible for the many deaths he has already caused and President Trump needs to stop giving him a forum and should appoint someone from First Line Doctors to monitor and confront him at every opportunity IMO.

“Why, yes! Yes, he did!

That was before the ChiComs owned him/Congress/all of BigPharma.”

Back when masks didn’t work.

I don't know why President Trump doesn't retire this little parasite. Maybe he has better control over him this way.

Trump needs to add Dr. David von Schultz to the team to slap Fauci around. You think this is flawed?

Yes, in 2013.

This so-called doctor, who hasn’t seen a patient in more than 30 years, is a federal leech of the highest order who, like others in his category of loathsome bureaucrats, has mastered the art of kissing a$$, especially kissing that of Billy Boy Gates the psychopath while publicly proclaiming his ‘LOVE’ for her Heinous Hillary the Witch.

I remember when they first started the news conferences. Fauci said "people please stop buying masks. You don't need them. Leave them for the medical personal!"

Okay. Here is a graph. One could argue that this is placebo controlled (standard versus HCQ) and randomly assigned (by country instead of by individual):

Countries were randomly assigned to either use HCQ or not. Not using the HCQ and instead using whatever Fauci says etc. is the control.

Yesterday and today I have searched the internet for commentaries regarding Dr Simone Gold and the White Coat Summit to no avail.

It is, as if, she has left the planet Earth following the millions upon millions of people that watched the three videos on Monday and Tuesday.

Even when Dr Gold announced that she had been fired on Wednesday night there has been very few commentaries about her.

Is TOTALITARIAN TECH shadow banning anybody who writes a commentary about Dr Simone Gold and the White Coat Summit???????

If Dr. Fauci would read Free Republic, he would discover what he probably already knows, that hydroxychloroquine is allegedly less effective in treating advanced cases of COVID-19.
HUGE DEVELOPMENT: 51 Global Studies Find HCQ Effective in Treating COVID-19 — 16 Find HCQ NOT Effective — But 10 of Those Are Late Treatment Studies!

Send "Orange Man Bad" federal and state government desperate Democrats and RINOs home in November!

Supporting PDJT with a new patriot Congress and state government leaders that will promise to fully support his already excellent work for MAGA and stopping SARS-CoV-2 will effectively give fast-working Trump a "third term" in office imo.

If Dr. Fauci had any money to gain from Hydoxycholoroquine he would be extolling it form the highest mountain.
