They did not use Zinc and maybe they didn’t need to as the French diet is Zinc-rich compared to the American diet which is generally Zinc-poor.
When we have trials in the US, we need to include Zinc in the treatment combination because our blood plasma levels are low in Zinc to begin with (on average compared to the French). So you’re right to be concerned here but there is another reason (discussed next paragraph) this study was a failure and we need to know how such studies can fail here. We know there are sick liberals in this country that want hydroxychloroquine treatment to fail. How do you get hydroxychloroquine treatment to fail or have mixed results and therefore not generally effective? You eliminate Zinc.
But the reason that every one of their patients dies is because they were dying from something else when they came in.
Look at the comorbidities they list as quoted in the bottom bold section of #78 above. These people were beyond sick to begin with and went to the hospital to die. The hospital took them in, diagnosed them for COVID-19 and tried to save these patients who were dying from other causes by treating them with hydroxychloroquine.
The analogy I gave in #78 above drives the point home:
“It’s analogous to a ridiculous example of conducting a small ‘study’ on 11 severely addicted nearly dead heroin users trying to get them free of their acid reflux disease by having them drink 2 liters of buttermilk every day for a week. And then when the sick addicts kick the bucket, the study investigator writes the buttermilk was ineffective in curing the acid reflux.”
It’s at that level. Garbage.
When we have healthy people unable to breath from COVID-19 come into our hospitals/clinics and they are given Hydrochloroquine plus Zinc, they recover very well. If they eat a lot of seafood so that their blood plasma levels of Zinc are good, then the Zinc in the treatment is probably not necessary. The Azithromycin or Doxycyclin is there to mostly fend off any bacterial problems.
But if they are dying from something else when they come in, there is very little chance they are going to survive.
Well stated! expect more of this ‘pooping on HCQ as Gates sends out his tattooed flunkies trying to prevent the President issuing an EO for release of HCQ and zinc to be written by anyphysician not just those treating vernted folks in hospitals. Gates is satan’s power crazed little helper.
