Malaria drug hydroxychloroquine continues to dominate the headlines after many success stories from doctors in the front line. This evening, a renowned infectious disease specialist Dr. Stephen Smith, said he and his team have treated over the 50 patients with hydroxychloroquine. Dr. Smith is the founder of the Smith Center for Infectious Diseases in New Jersey.

Tonight, Dr. Smith shared his findings among COVID-19 patients in an interview with Fox News host Laura Ingraham. Dr. Smith pointed out that not a single patient, COVID-19 patient, that has been under hydroxychloroquine regimen has had to to be intubated. Dr. Smith said that they had 20 intubations that all occurred within two days and more importantly, no person who received hydroxychloroquine for 5 days or more had been intubated.

Dr. Smith added that the chance of intubation happening, based on the stat done by his son, is a ridiculously low number of about 0.000 something percent. Dr. Smith said his team’s data support the data from French study led by the famous French researcher Dr. Didier Raoult.

In closing, Dr. Smith said: “Hydroxychloroquine is a game changer and ‘the beginning of the end coronavirus pandemic.” Dr. Stephen Smith is an infectious disease specialist in Roseland, New Jersey and is affiliated with multiple hospitals in the area. He has been in practice for more than 20 years.

It’s a blog but it’s the best synopsis of the Ingraham video interview with Dr Stephen Smith. His name appeared in this Fox News transcript on 3/27 where it was written that he was starting his 50+ patient study.

This article contains the 4/1 follow up interview on video. This is the first 5 day follow up where I’ve seen the first and last articles.

Here are some of Dr Smith’s credentials I was able to find. And here is his organization.

Thank you for posting this. We sorely need a game changer to avoid what’s coming down the pike in just a few days.

We need 4000+ cycles sent to Guam for the Roosevelt, for starters.

I’d be willing to bet it already there.

[willk]

Funny you beat me by 3 minutes to post this news. I’m now feeling more optimistic about this treatment after watching this. The doctor seemed pretty confident that the results were not due to chance.

[mmichaels1970]

You almost had me. I spent several minutes checking out this source blog and looking at Dr Smiths credentials. Last thing I want to do is accidentally post a quack.

[FreeReign]

Impressive credentials.

[Truthoverpower]

Hydroxy Clore Quinn has been used to treat malaria and kill viruses for 70+ years now Silver ions have been used to kill viruses and bacteria for thousands of years now Both are approved in hundreds of medical uses by the FDA And yet the government still runs disinformation when they’re used to treat this virus 🦠 Why ? do you ask- Because colloidal silver and hydroxy CloroQuine are basically free The government wants to get you set up to pay hundreds of dollars per capita times millions of people for upcoming vaccines Yes Virginia ! that’s billions and billions and billions of dollars

[rktman]

Well stevie sissypants in NevaDUH says don’t bring that voodoo unverified crap here.

[TexasTransplant]

More I think about it, the more I think this Hydroxychloroquine or whatever it is what we called the “Red Pills” that was used in the Navy as a prophylactic for Malaria. Can any Corpsman validate or shoot this down for me?
(Doctors may have had a different name for it)

Thanks for posting this. That was quite the exciting interview on Laura Ingraham's 'The Ingraham Angle' tonight! Gives me hope.

Laura's shows for the past 2-3 weeks have been fantastic. I believe she is one of the first in the media to mention Hydroxychloroquine as a possible cure (or at least an excellent treatment) for COVID-19.

THE SMITH CENTER FOR INFECTIOUS DISEASES:

https://www.smithcenternj.org/

INTRODUCTION

The Smith Center for Infectious Diseases and Urban Health was developed to address infectious diseases in the inner city. This non-profit center, which is initially focusing on HIV, recognizes that inner city patients face many unique challenges in their daily lives. These challenges interfere with treatment of infectious diseases and foster an environment where infectious diseases are easily spread. Infectious diseases are different from other diseases in that successful treatment reduces their spread.

When you treat a person with diabetes, you treat that one person. When you treat a person with HIV, you greatly reduce the chances of transmission and treat the whole community. In the past 10 years there have been incredible advances in HIV treatment. The drugs are easier to take and extremely effective.

Inner city HIV+ patients in New Jersey have excellent access to physicians and clinics. The state provides free medications to those without insurance. Yet the number of new HIV cases per year in New Jersey has stayed the same for the past decade.

We at the Smith Center believe that by using novel approaches we can rid New Jersey of HIV. We have designed programs to incentivize patients to continue their medications. We have created a personal atmosphere, where each patient is known by her or his first name.

To understand the challenges of the treatment of Coronavirus with Chloroquine, we advise you to read the interview with Professor Raoult in the Parisian of March 22, 2020
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3829567/posts

Interview with the French doc who was the first in the West to use this. Machine translates from French. Really good stuff. The man doesn’t suffer fools, or medicrats.

That’s what Trump said and they laughed at him.
