Dr. Fauci is Kevorkian. What blood these people have on their hands. Orange Man Bad.

Conclusion

Although this is a retrospective analysis, results suggest that early diagnosis, early isolation and early treatment of COVID-19 patients, with at least 3 days of HCQ-AZ lead to a significantly better clinical outcome and a faster viral load reduction than other treatments.

Finally!

Dr. Raoult's definitive large study, showing the expected benefits of HCQ-AZ.

Dr. Raoult seems to have climbed onto the zinc bandwagon, or at least he acknowledges that low zinc levels are associated with poor clinical outcomes. I was glad to see Dr. Raoult respond to the (ORANGE DRUG BAD!) anti-HCQ propaganda:

Taking into account the association between low blood zinc levels and poor clinical outcomes, zinc supplementation should be also considered, as recently reported [31]. However, the choice of the best treatment should be made according to its safety profile, which is much better for HCQ-AZ than for remdesivir (adverse events leading to cessation of treatment in 0.3% in our study vs. 12% for remdesivir [12]). Nevertheless, we were surprised by the large discrepancy on efficacy and toxicity of HCQ in recent studies compared to ours [32]. As a matter of fact, all patients reported here have been followed by the physicians authors named in our study. Altogether, we found only 0.67% of QTc prolongations and no death related to treatment. In our opinion, this excellent safety profile of HCQ-AZ in our real-life medical experience much better reflects the reality than registry studies such as those recently retracted from high profile medical journals [9].

Good stuff.

Here's a reminder of the results of Dr. Raoult's first, small study, from March, 2020. IIRC you (SeenAndFind) were the first to post a link to the study on Free Republic.

That beautiful green line generated a lot of interest.

Let's hope this “anecdotal evidence” is finally good enough to give HCQ plus Zinc with or without a antibiotic a proper clinical trial. The crazy part of “there is no clinical proof” is this is a global emergency and there has to be something to base a proper clinical trial in the first place. “Anecdotal” evidence like Zelenko’s and Raoult’s should be the basis for those trials, not treated as if they are in opposition to them!

The study I'm waiting for is the one that follows the people we already know have been taking HCQ for years. The people with arthritis and Lupis taking HCQ are the perfect group to study. How many contracted Covid, how many were hospitalized and how many died?

It would involve numbers without politics and would be easy to track. If the Lupus patients didn't contract Covid at half the rate the non HCQ did, that would prove it's effectiveness. Plus the Lupis patients would have compromised immune systems. Since they already had been on HCQ, they would have caught it early if the theory works. What if the HCQ patients were at a single digit rate?

We already know who is taking the drug so the results would be instantaneous.

Sadly...this report only had one treatment arm in it. The different treatment comparator were not explicitly analyzed .Would really want to see what happens with patients who are c19 positive and are treated with roault protocol and those C19 positive not treated with raoult protocol. A comparison of the two group outcomes would answer many questions. That would really cement hcg/azit as an early treatment modality...with remdesivir and dexamethasone added if hcq. and azit. cannot do the complete job.
Finally a comparison of remdesivir vs. Hcq/azit would be even better.

3737 patients is a helluva lot of “anecdotes”
A ,”small number” is how Fauci refers to these studies
No mention of zinc in this protocol
