I need this explained to me: Why is Remdesivir an improvement over HCQ/Zinc/Antibiotics?

Remdesivir was designed for this ChiCom Virus, before there was a ChiCom Virus.

And yes, it will be a real market drug at real market prices unlike the $20 it costs for the HCQ-Zpac-zinc sulfate solution.

Some people have been treated successfully with Remdesivir. I wonder if Boris Johnson was one of them? We don’t know what he was treated with when he was on the bubble.

It is not impressive in hospitalized and critically patients

The Azithromycin is added to keep side infections down due to the compromised immune system. It is not actually needed to kill the virus. To those with heart issues simply skip it. The heart dies anyway if the virus kills the patient.

It is the zinc that is the active anti viral the HCQ 8a just the carrier into the cells. HCQ and zinc alone is just as effective against the virus.

Best results when given with the onset of fever and cough before the development of shortness of breath and pneumonitis and long before a confirmatory COVID-19 test can be reported.

It would be hard to convince a physician to prescribe this BEFORE a covid diagnosis, even in states where the governors have not imposed restrictions on HCQ.

The Democratic governors who are denying access to Hydroxychloroquine by making it nearly impossible for primary care physicians to timely prescribe and pharmacists to dispense have blood on their hands and ought to be held accountable.

Respectfully, this is right wing fantasy, and almost impossible to prove or execute outside of right wing internet sites.

Yes and it’s been tailored but that’s above my memory and pay grade. This thing has an almost perfect design to aid against the ChiCom Virus.

What are you basing that on the study from China?

Old Cloroquine work did not include zinc either. But if you want to die trying a new drug that has a kill ratio around the same as the virus, have at it.

But a two in 120 side effect death ratio is not what I call good odds against HCQ zinc with even lesser odds of possible poop problems.

Nothing. Im basing on my experience and my colleagues experience in hospitalized patients while waiting for the studies. If it worked as well as some think the death rate would be zero. It’s not

Hitler only killed 6,000,000 jews, progressives have killed 65,000,000 Americans in abortions.

Progressives are 10x worse 5han Hitler when it comes to the death of innocents.

That is a very anecdotal reply. Are these patients you speak of being given the hcq, zinc, zpac combo early on or are you talking about patients 16 days into the fight on their deathbed given hcq alone?

Because it’s $1000 a pill instead of $0.63. Follow the money.

Anecdotal is all we have right now. I’m speaking of patients treated with hydroxychloroquine and azithro that are hospitalized or in ICU. Many of them are on zinc containing tube feeds. The fact is hydroxychloroquine is not the magic bullet some think it is. I wish it was. We need to keep
looking

Exactly ! What both you and Mom MD said.

There are dozens of high blood pressure therapies out there.

What works for thee don't work for me.

Because despite what you read hydroxychloroquine is not that impressive in hospitalized patients.
_______________

Do you believe the Zelenko protocol with hundreds of successful cases that DIDN’T go to hospitalization and/ or intubation was just an ‘anecdotal’ fluke? OF COURSE HCQ alone is not effective once the virus has silently attacked multiple organs because it was allowed to replicate in the host without the zinc interference of the Zelenko protocol.

So you are not saying that the drug combo doesn’t work if administered early on? I have no problem with the gild drug as a last resort.
