it's funny, but this is a small, non-peer-reviewed study, without Zinc as recommened by the studies which showed positive effects.
I wonder how many boxes of Donuts Nancy Pelosi and Bill Gates promised her...
This site is not a liberal lefty site, so they are not reporting this to attack the president.
Tell Boris Johnson to report back to ICU.
Does not erase the numerous positive results. We already know it only works in some cases.
Small study is right! Geesh 11 patients? And where’s the ZINC????
The new study, of which the abstract was released today, was performed at IHU Méditerranée Infection, Marseille, France. A cohort of 1061 COVID-19 patients, treated for at least 3 days with the Hydroxychloroquine-Azithromycin (HCQ-AZ) combination and a follow-up of at least 9 days was investigated.
Key findings are:
No cardiac toxicity was observed.
A good clinical outcome and virological cure was obtained in 973 patients within 10 days (91.7%).
A poor outcome was observed for 46 patients (4.3%); 10 were transferred to intensive care units, 5 patients died (0.47%) (74-95 years old) and 31 required 10 days of hospitalization or more.
The authors conclude that:
“The HCQ-AZ combination, when started immediately after diagnosis, is a safe and efficient treatment for COVID-19, with a mortality rate of 0.5%, in elderly patients. It avoids worsening and clears virus persistence and contagiosity in most cases.”
...new evidence that hydroxychloroquine does not appear to help the immune system clear the coronavirus from the body.

HCQ is *not* intended as a virus killer. The purpose is to reduce the ability of the Corona virus to replicate in the patient.
a full sized clinical trial was just published in France...
over 1000 participant patients.
91.7 percent successful recovery rate in just 3 days
of these cheap and plentiful little pills
to my way of reckoning, that’s no failure
Never believe females with hyphenated names. ;-)
I pretty much expected this from the trials. Thousands of doctors, and multiple country’s are all wrong about what they have found with using HCQ. The Trial is rigged. Trials are rigged all the time.
No zinc?
What is the point of all these “trials” coming out of the woodwork? Some work would be good to see who it might hurt.
Shouldn’t all of the rest of these folks be working on developing superior alternatives and then testing those?
She appears to have conflicts.
Medical writers should never have them or should disclose if any appearance of conflict. According to comments on article a little skepticism seems appropriate.
well, it is wrong.
She was already in a posted article a few weeks ago pooping on HCQ. Look at her hyphenated name. She probably has a RESIST bumper sticker on her Prius.
So those with concerns about HCQS should refuse to allow it to used in their treatment if the contract the illness.

And when they say a “small” study, they mean 11 people. From the actual medial study...
“There were 7 men and 4 women with a mean age of 58.7 years (range: 20-77), 8 had significant comorbidities associated with poor outcomes (obesity: 2; solid cancer: 3; hematological cancer: 2; HIV-infection: 1).”
It is a load of horse crap.
We are not touting the drug as a preventative or to lessen people with mild symptoms-WE ARE SAYING IT SHOULD BE USED IN EXTREMELY ILL PATIENTS!!!!!!!
85% of the people in this study of 80 PEOPLE has very mild symptoms!!!!!!
I swear, I didn’t want to believe there was a concerted effort by the Left on this, but I believe it now.
"...The idea that the combination of hydroxychloroquine with an antibiotic drug, azithromycin, was effective against COVID-19 gained more attention after a study published on March 17. This study described a trial of 80 patients carried out by Philippe Gautret in Marseille, France. Although some of their results appeared to be encouraging, it should also be noted that most of their patients only had mild symptoms. Furthermore, 85% of the patients didn’t even have a fever – one of the major telltale symptoms of the virus, thus suggesting that these patients likely would have naturally cleared the virus without any intervention...
I see posters talking about 11 patients and such. I have to go read this again.
Need Zinc! It prevents damage caused by inflammation. (Cytokine Storm)
Read an article today that reported Fauci said we could use HCQ to treat MERS!! Different results for different administrations. Funny how that works.
HCQ is relatively safe. (Over the past 2+ decades I’ve seen thousands of patients on it.) Azithromycin given IV has more cardiac complications and has to be monitored.
Been reading medical journals from across the planet about this drug cocktail and it’s getting a thumbs up.
