New Study Finds Trump-Backed Hydroxychloroquine Was an Effective Covid Treatment After All
DC Enquirer ^ | JACK MONTGOMERY

Posted on 10/11/2023 3:05:40 PM PDT by SoConPubbie

Coronavirus patients treated with a combination of hydroxychloroquine – furiously denounced by the media and medical establishment after then-President Donald Trump revealed he was taking it – and azithromycin enjoyed better survival rates, a study has revealed.

The study, published in the scientific journal New Microbes and New Infections, evaluated “the efficacy and safety of a treatment protocol with [a] standard dose of hydroxychloroquine plus azithromycin in patients hospitalized with COVID-19 infection” by comparing the 28-day mortality rate of 352 patients treated with the drugs to a contemporary control group of 3,533 patients who received standard care.

Researchers found a “statistically significant reduction in crude mortality rate at 28 days was observed in the [hydroxychloroquine plus azithromycin] group” – emphasizing their findings “do not support the current negative recommendations regarding this treatment.”

Donald Trump, who stuck by his belief in hydroxychloroquine, based on the testimony of frontline doctors, despite pressure to withdraw his support, long argued the animus against the drug was motivated purely by the fact he had endorsed it.

President Donald Trump: I happen to believe in hydroxychloroquine

Worked for me.

My friends who were exposed when I was exposed spent a couple days in bed. My allergies in the spring are worse than my Covid symptoms.

The Left's hatred of President Trump was greater than their love for humanity.

Well, not purely for that reason. There were also the billions of dollars at stake based on the emergency approval of the vaccines which would not have been legal if an effective treatment was available. They would have had to have gone through the full, multi-year testing and approval process. By that time the epidemic has largely burned out.

The reality is that there are too many factors that cause a variance in results.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8717092

I am oh so lucky to have genetic variations in every single P450 enzyme listed in this study on HQC AND in the MDR1 transporter gene. Unclear how many of my variations directly effect the break down of this drug. Unfortunately, it appears the tests to show how your body is breaking down the drug is only available for research. You can only get the total..not the broken down metabolites.

For people like me it would be a total crapshoot. I don’t take Plaquenil for autoimmune issues. Too risky and too much not known. Of course, if my problem skyrockets I may have to change my mind.

Given how hard it was for me to figure out this issue i would say there are likely quite a few people who have the problem and just don’t know it.

I remember that fat bastard claiming that hydroxychloroquine was ONLY for horses and that the dosage would kill people.

Fat, filthy slob Cavuto knew it would help treat COVID but he was bought off by Fauci. He is a Fox News whore, a prostitute and I hope he dies of COVID. See my tagline.

for people who have their DNA..here is one study trying to figure out how the variations made a difference on HQC treatment for COVID

On the bright side, Cavuto almost did die from Covid. He attributed his survival to the shots. What a maroon. Stuck on stupid.

Yep. Kennedy’s book does a good job exposing how the paramedical companies & Fauci, shut down the use of that and Ivermectin early on.

So for those that don’t really understand how genetics make a huge difference on this...this paragraph is an example. btw, I saw a study that indicated that it seems that people who have retina issues with this drug had a higher level of one of the metabolites...which could be related to genetic breakdown of the drug

“So, in the present study, CYP2D6*4 (AA) carriers were poor metabolizers and HCQ was metabolized poorly leading to decreased formation of one of the active metabolites (desethyl HCQ), this could decrease the efficiency of HCQ in preventing Covid-19 viruses from entering cells making the risk of Covid-19 infection and formation of IgM antibodies more likely.”

When the covid pandemic first made headlines, I recall viewing a NJ based infectious disease physician stating that Hydroxychloroquine was a “game changer,” in his words. Once Trump endorsed it as a treatment, however, it was all downhill from there, and anyone prescribing it was labeled a quack, or worse.

The reason the CDC did not want ANY alternative treatments is that by law, if such treatments are available, the emergency use authorization has to be revoked.

How would Pharma make billions?

I just drink Quinine water. Covid is more scared of me than I am of covid. Plus I had 4 jabs of the so called vaccine. Doing very well. No clots, no heart issues, no allergies, no colds, no coughs. OK so my body has experience fighting viruses having burned 83 candles.

You know best part of crossing 80? All the nerves in teeth are shriveled and dead. No more tooth aches. I decline the pin killer shot at dentist, who always finds a cavity needing a filling.
