RE: Why would u do this trial without the Zinc unless you intentionally wanted it to fail?
Because the first large scale study made by the French Doctor, Didier Raoult, which actually succeeded in over 91% of patients only used Hydroxychloroquine and Azithromycin.
But since then, Raoult in Marseille has added Zn to the regimen. NIH is ignoring the progress that has been made toward a more reliable treatment. That’s how bureaucracy works in medicine.
Perhaps it is good then that the French have more zinc in their diet than Americans. This is a good example how medical “studies” load the dice.
If you look at who pays for the studies you can usually predict the outcome before it starts.
