Weight-Adjusted Hydroxychloroquine and Azithromycin Boosted Survival of Ventilated COVID-19 Patients by 200 Percent: Study
epoch times ^ | 6/9/2021 | TOM OZIMEK

A new study has found that the use of weight-adjusted Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) and Azithromycin (AZM) improved the survival of ventilated COVID-19 patients by nearly 200 percent.

The observational study, which has not yet been peer-reviewed, was based on a re-analysis of 255 patients on invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) during the first two months of the pandemic in the United States.

The researchers found that, when the HCQ/AZM combination was given at lower dosages to treat ventilated COVID-19 patients, the risk of death was over three times higher.

“We found that when the cumulative doses of two drugs, HCQ and AZM, were above a certain level, patients had a survival rate 2.9 times the other patients,” the authors of the study noted.

“By using causal analysis and considering of weight-adjusted cumulative dose, we prove the combined therapy, >3 g HCQ and > 1g AZM greatly increases survival in COVID patients on IMV and that HCQ cumulative dose > 80 mg/kg works substantially better,” they wrote.

While the authors acknowledged that, since patients with higher doses of HCQ had higher doses of AZM, they “cannot solely attribute the causal effect to HCQ/AZM combination therapy.”

“However, it is likely AZM does contribute significantly to this increase in survival rate. Since higher dose HCQ/AZM therapy improves survival by nearly 200 [percent] in this population, the safety data are moot,” they added.

Hydroxychloroquine—an anti-inflammatory and anti-malarial drug—has been one of the most contested treatments for COVID-19 throughout the pandemic.

A study conducted by the St. Barnabas Medical Center has shown that Hydroxychloroquine is an effective treatment for COVID-19. When Hydroxychloroquine is combined with the antibiotic Zithromax it effectively suppresses the virus.

The research found that when the two drugs were administered to severely ill COVID patients on ventilators in high doses it increased their chances of survival by almost 200 percent. In addition scientist have reported that when Hydroxychloroquine was administered to COVID patients in high doses it led to a quicker recovery in 87 percent of those patients.

The new study comes after Dr. Fauci along with other public health experts have denied all claims to the effectiveness of Hydroxychloroquine in treating COVID patients. Dr. Steven Hatfill, a biological weapons expert, has blamed these experts for thousands of COVID deaths that could have potentially been prevented.

“It was false. They didn’t want competition for the vaccines.” – Dr. Steven Hatfill

Just imagine if they had been prescribed hydroxyclolqine and zinc before they were sick enough to be hospitalized? I’m so sick of the bus that I don’t know what to do. The media and deep state need to just die.

The antibiotic may be helping recovery from COVID-19 by eliminating SARS-CoV-2 virions that have entered the bacterial cells of the gut biome and begun replicating therein. The antibiotic would do so presumably by “blunt force”, by killing the bacterial cells of the gut biome. HCQ only works on the cells of the human body so it is not effective at addressing the “reservoir” of SARS-CoV-2 virions residing in the gut biome.

HCQ + AZM + IVM = CURED.

Bite me, Fauciism.

Add some Zinc, C, D, ETC.

The gig is up.

Covid is flat curable.

If they’d had it early on, before the need to ventilate, the deaths would have been way fewer.

I have a real good former co-worker-ran Forwarder in the woods on my crew, who got the bug last NOV. They tested him FOUR times for it and all came up negative. Nov 15th he had his son take him to Green Bay to a reputable medical outfit and they put him in ICU. They tested him and it was positive. He doesnt remember anything for 15 days. They told him that if it wasnt for meds like these mentioned here, he wouldnt have made it.

With no guidance other than what he heard here and from Dr Zev, (more than) one FReepdoc tried it, and it didn’t work. Then he heard on here zinc zinc, tried that and no good again. Even did vitamin D assays on everybody no difference whatsoever. Now we hear “weight adjusted” which sounds feasible to me but that means if this is true, that he could have saved these lives if he had been informed.

But go ahead and say he was wrong, cause he sure was wasn’t he?

(sigh)

I am not angry with you KS forgive me. You didn’t deserve that. This has all been in God’s hands. Truth will come out, and only God can judge the affairs of men.

How dare you.
This is an I reviewed observational study. In the scientific world it’s about as good as a social security lockbox

If HCq and azithromycin were a cure there is not a doctor whom wouldn’t be using it. Unless all of us doctors are in on your grand conspiracy.

Regardless of whether some clinicians were pro or con concerning HCQ treatment the real crimes were in censoring it and government getting involved in controlling or outright banning this long standing FDA approved drug. Fraudci touted its benefits back in 2005. It was criminal to attack HCQ because President Trump mentioned it as if he was some sort of quack spouting off some snake oil remedy. Many unnecessary deaths lay at these cretins feet and in the middle of a dangerous epidemic no less.

Dr. Steven Hatfill,


Isn’t that the guy the FBI tried to frame for the Anthrax attacks?

three politicized stories censored by the MSM

The virus came out of a Chinese lab

HCQ works (not a miracle drugs, but helps)

Ivermectin works ( better than HCQ and is being used in Mexico, Zimbabwe, and India where it is cutting the number of cases dramatically).

Trump pushed all these stories, so they were censored.

Also: a lot of the anti vax stuff comes from China so they can do vaccine diplomacy in poor countries.

But now Turkey and Bahrain notice the Chinese vaccine doesn't work well.

I left out another censored fact: if you had covid, even a mild case, you are immune and you don’t need the vaccine.

This has been denied in the press, but the Cleveland clinic article just confirmed this fact.
