And what happens to some poor, dying person in the control group whose only hope is Hydroxychloroquine? In the genuine tradition of Zeke Emanuel, MD, and Doktor Jopsef Mengele, that poor person will be left to choke and die in her own mucous secretions while being “comfortably and humanely” treated with the good doktors standing around and taking careful notes.

“My nephew, 50 years old, overweight and diabetic, was admitted to the ICU Friday with Wuhan plague. He was given this “unproven” drug the next day. He is scheduled to be released in two days. Thank God his doctors gave him the drug rather than a fatal case of TDS.”

Even viewing his case in purely economic terms, his doctors made the absolutely right decision, given how much it would have cost the taxpayers/insurance to keep him in the hospital, put him on a respirator, and wait for him to die, the very “treatment” Zeke Emanuel and the other DemonShits recommend.

“NIH also recently launched a trial to study Remdesivir as a possible treatment for COVID-19.”

My point, which I should have stated instead of assuming the reader would make the connection, is that they are giving the new, more costly drug, preference over the partially proven cheap drug with political overtones.

i got your point. The be point I am making is while everyone is focused on the cheap drug it is not a miracle or necessarily the best treatment. It is an arrow in the quiver but real studies are being done and finding encouraging results in treating critical patients. They are looking better than the cheaper alternative which doesn’t appear to have much to offer hosptalized patients. The ones not in the hospital do fine anyway so we need to see if it’s worth the risk of exposing them to a drug with side effects to treat something they will get over in their own anyway. I don’t know the answer to that yet.

I looked at the study details, there is no effing mentioning of Zn as part of medication being administered to the COVID19 patients. If that’s the case, the whole study is doomed, if not by design, then by sheer incompetence, The active element of replicase inhibition is Zn ion, not HCQ (which serves as simple ionophore for Zn). I pray I am wrong and if I’m not, then the whole medical establishment are a bunch of criminals.

“I see no mention of Dr. Zelenko’s cocktail of hydroxychloroquine, zinc sulfate and azithromycin. NIH fiddles while the Wuhan virus burns.”

Dr. Zelenko says that an adequate supply of zinc is necessary for the hydroxychloroquine to be effective. I don’t know if Dr. Zelenko is correct about this, but let’s assume, for the sake of argument, that he is correct. If so, then the NIH study could actually be counterproductive, because it could show hydroxychloroquine to be ineffective, when in reality it just needs to be co-administered with zinc. Thousands of lives could be lost because of an impaired study.

You’re exactly right. Dr. Zelenko’s cocktail works and NIH would be wise to use his protocol if they’re serious about their clinical trial.

All the people who condemned Trump over this, promise me that you will never ever take this drug, no matter what.

All these tests are already long done. Multiple times done. We need to start demanding why they're playing this game. Just one example follows. But all these drugs have *already* been tested and trialed to the nth. There is *nothing* to be gained by delaying treatment because tests. The medical industry knows this full well. in Virology Journal 2(1):69 · September 2005 - Chloroquine is a potent inhibitor of SARS coronavirus infection and spread https://www.researchgate.net/publication/7646092_Chloroquine_is_a_potent_inhibitor_of_SARS_coronavirus_infection_and_spread

I agree.

All a bunch of nonsense.

Headed up by Fauch and Dr Scarf and their connections.
