Your sarcasm seems to indicate that you believe that the vaccine makers AREN'T evil. Do you even read FReepublic.com?
Go back to sleep, Pelham. You are way out of the loop.
“I got Covid so early, before there was any talk of ivermectin or HCQ, or I would have tried them myself.”
Early in 2020 I ran across an HCQ study at PubMed from 2005. Actually it used CQ rather than HCQ, but CQ is basically a harsher version of the same drug.
The study was about the successful use of CQ against the original SARS virus. I mentioned it and posted a link to the study on an early Covid thread here at FR. The post didn’t get a single response. When Trump mentioned HCQ for Covid I was pretty sure that his people must have found that same study.
What turned out to be a problem is that the 2005 study was in vitro on Green Monkey kidney tissue. CQ worked great in the lab. But when SARS-2 showed up and HCQ was able to be tried in vivo on humans it didn’t work like it did in the lab. Later in 2020 PubMed had reports of attempts to use HCQ as a prophylactic for medical workers treating Covid patients. Medics taking HCQ contracted Covid at the same rate as those not taking it. But by then the conspiracy crowd had decided that The Real Reason it wasn’t being used was because it was going to prevent the evil vaccine makers from getting rich etc.
Thanks.
I remember that got a lot of play here.
as an aside...I think (no proof) that my sister died of COVID in January 2020.
She stopped all treatment. It wasn’t an ogygen problem, she couldn’t expell carbon dioxide. Near as it was explained, her lungs filled with fluid and she drowned.
