The unproven claim that an antimalarial drug can cure coronavirus - called a 'game-changer' and a 'gift from God' by Donald Trump - has been promoted by a crypto-currency lawyer who has made a string of bogus claims, DailyMail.com can reveal.
Gregory Rigano made a series of Fox News and conservative and Christian radio appearances to tout the idea that chloroquine or hydroxychloroquine 'cures' conronavirus.
The anti-malaria drug is now the subject of series of clinical trials, including in New York, where the state received 10,000 doses.
It has been praised by Trump repeatedly - but the first time he did, at the White House last Friday, epidemiologist Tony Fauci stepped in to warn it was not scientifically proven to be effective and safe.
Trump amplified the case for the drug again on Twitter Monday amid apparent public tensions with Fauci.
Now a DailyMail.com investigation reveals how:

First of all, your unfounded attack on the medical profession is breathtaking. Every physician has the right to prescribe what he or she sees fit, even in off label uses. Most of the meds we use are off label. There is ZERO chance anyone would lose their license, despite your salivating hope. Additionally, I expect that there should and would be charges of practicing without a license for pharmacists and governors who make irrational proclamations. As I recall from your crap two weeks ago you now several lawyers, your unfounded, unwarranted and uneducated attacks could be construed as unlawful.
This post is about the Guy who pulled this stunt.not whether the drug is effective.
Maybe it is..maybe it isnt
maybe it has bad side effects to those with COVID 19 ..maybe it doesnt
This is about the guy who pulled this scam and why in the world he did it...like was Soros behind him....for example.
[The issue isn’t over whether the drug works or not. People here are missing the whole point of this story
This was a very elaborate ruse put together by someone and many people fell for it.
The question is who was behind it and why.]
An article above this one says Bahrain was using the meds more than a month before this guy was on TV about it.
I know, right? Its awful when things are not as they seem. I can tell you personally having treated several SARS patients now with these meds, I see a profound and significant difference and have had zero deaths with the drugs that the maoist wants no one to prescribe.
whatever you say.....
Now I am sure there are many people here from NY that would like that name of that Dr who is willing to prescribe the combo for those who have not tested positive for the virus.
And the Dr would surely like new patients.
Not sure why that poster won’t post the Name of the oh So amiable Dr in NY
Sounds like you are using off label indications for drugs and practicing without a license. Why not send your personal information so we can have you investigated. You just provided medical advice on the internet
IN YOUR WORDS
Since I dont have a physician that will break the law...I have had to resort to finding my own version of a zinc transporter.
I have my protocol ready so that when I can’t get a test showing that I am positive I can still take something that may help. The quicker you try to stop the RNA from duplicating the better you will be
THIS LADIES AND GENTLEMEN IS PRACTICING WITHOUT A LICENSE. Your posts will be tracked.
The thing for me is, no one really knows. Maybe theres a benefit, maybe not. But this is being touted everywhere as a miracle.
As far as I can tell hydroxychloroquine/azithromycin came from anecdotal stories from Chyna, passed to France. I watched Didier Whatevers video. I can slightly understand enough to know he spent most of the time fear mongering.
But it’s taken hold. And if you have legitimate questions, you get attacked.
I have loved Trump since when he used to call into Imus in the 90s. I just have a bad feel.
btw, I guess you arent in Nevada because Drs there can’t do what you claim
Gov. Steve Sisolak announced on Tuesday that he was issuing an emergency regulation to set strong restrictions on the prescriptions of those drugs. With the new rules, doctors can only prescribe chloroquine or hydroxychloroquine to treat COVID-19 in an inpatient settings — such as a hospital or emergency room. Any prescription unrelated to coronavirus in an outpatient setting will be limited to just a 30-day supply.
If it works we will know. How many times do Trump haters question him only to be proven wrong? Trump would not have said this if he did not have trusted intelligence backing him up. Goodness gracious if anyone would have a clue on this it would be Trump. Watch him win again.
go ahead and track them...this is a searchable data base.
Maybe, just maybe, because it is none of your damn business and you are not the appointed police force of the free world. Stick to day trading, there are opportunities there. We all know your are angling for a post in the new world order, but God willing, you will be shown to be the harlot and purveyor of fear that you are. I will make sure that I log every one of your posts and discredit it them with the science that is out there.
Also, since you don’t like to answer questions just ask them, lets just see you ignore this:
The scientist who is credited with causing all the panic by forecasting oversaturation of the medical system has walked back his forecast: UK will not be overutilized, and more importantly, there is sufficient ICU care now in the UK to handle the crises.
Do you wish to comment on this?
You are a good little commie aren’t you.
“Sounds like you are using off label indications for drugs and practicing without a license”
I just noticed this. I wasnt aware that Quercetin needed a prescription ANYWHERE in the US.
Nobody is going to do your research for you, especially on a thread where NOBODY IS LISTENING.
This devolved into a monkey-shit-fight 3 pages ago.
I posted an article earlier that explains why the antibiotic is included, but guess what... You didn’t read it.
I never read his study the the first place.
I am more interested in making sure I am ready as we all play Wuhan Roulette.
And I am.
And since you are a Dr, then you KNOW the stories about ERs having problems and being overrun even as we have been isolated...are not lies.
This is why: Novel antiviral properties of azithromycin in cystic fibrosis airway epithelial cells
https://erj.ersjournals.com/content/45/2/428
RV replication was increased in CF compared with control cells. Azithromycin reduced RV replication seven-fold in CF cells without inducing cell death. Furthermore, azithromycin increased RV-induced pattern recognition receptor, IFN and IFN-stimulated gene mRNA levels.
ZITHROMAX (AZITHROMYCIN)
Zithromax (azithromycin) is an antibiotic that fights bacterial infections including respiratory infections, skin infections, ear infections, strep throat, community-acquired pneumonia and sexually transmitted diseases.
Similar to the possible side effects of hydrocychloroquine, those who use azithromycin may experience a life-threatening fast heart rate, especially in older adults.
Additional side effects include liver problems; allergic reactions; diarrhea; nausea, vomiting, stomach pain; or headache.
“I posted an article earlier that you didn’t read...” ok, thanks? I just got home. Why the need to attack? I’m on your side.
You are the one telling me I am wrong and Dr can do it in any setting.
And I am showing you that you are wrong.
I personally think that if I am sick and about to die I should get that drug as well as a Vitamin C injection to help with sepsis AND COVID-19
But as someone here who oversaw Ers for 20 years told me... I can’t do anything about getting the Vitamin C if a Dr wont do it... because it is not standard protocol.
And there is no Harvard or Mayo or Hopkins study to say I should get Vitamin C
