There's a Mountain of Evidence That Hydroxychloroquine Is an Effective Treatment for COVID-19
PJ Media ^ | 08/07/2020 | Matt Margolis

I’m convinced that if a rabid leftist was dying of thirst and President Trump offered him water, he’d refuse to drink it.

This is perhaps the best analogy for what’s happening right now with hydroxychloroquine, a decades-old malaria drug that has repeatedly shown to be an effective treatment for COVID-19, but that Democrats and the media have relentlessly dismissed ever since President Trump first touted it back in March as a possible game-changer. The media accused Trump of “practicing medicine without a license” simply for pointing out that the drug showed promise in some small studies. A Democratic state lawmaker in Ohio said that Trump should be tried for “crimes against humanity” for touting the drug’s potential. The New York Times even alleged that Trump’s motivation for touting it was self-serving because he holds “a small personal financial interest” in Sanofi, even though the drug is out of patent, and he only owned $29 – $435 in the stock as part of a mutual fund.

The media largely ignored success stories from coronavirus patients who recovered after being treated with the drug. In April, Democrat State Rep. Karen Whitsett from Detroit, Mich., credited the drug and President Trump with saving her life. Other coronavirus patients have reported dramatic recoveries after taking the drug.

But none of this mattered.

Studies showing the drug as ineffective were covered excessively, such as the Veterans Affairs study in April, which found a higher mortality rate with patients given the drug. The study was deeply flawed, as the sickest patients were disproportionately administered the drug. It was a deeply flawed, non-peer-reviewed study that had no business being reported on.

Two other studies followed linking hydroxychloroquine to higher mortality, but those studies were based on faulty data, and two well-respected medical journals had to retract one of them

“Looking at the evolution curve of this index for Switzerland,” explain Michel Jullian and Xavier Azalbert for FranceSoir, “we note a ‘wave of excess lethality’ of two weeks from June 9th to 22nd, with a lag of a dozen days compared to the period of suspension of the use of hydroxychloroquine by WHO. This demonstrates, without possible rebuttal, the effect of stopping the delivery and use of this drug in Switzerland (country which follows the recommendations of the WHO, based in Geneva). During the weeks preceding the ban, the nrCFR index fluctuated between 3% and 5%. Some 13 days after the start of the prohibition, the nrCFR index increases considerably to be between 10 and 15% for 2 weeks. Some 12 days after the end of the prohibition, the lethality falls back to a lower level.”

Switzerland is hardly the only country that has shown the effectiveness of hydroxychloroquine. “Millions of people are taking or have taken hydroxychloroquine in nations that have managed to get their national pandemic under some degree of control,” explains Veteran Virologist Steven Hatfill.

The best way to show this is to compare deaths per capita in countries that are widely using hydroxychloroquine and those that aren’t.

Here's the Impact in one graph.

HCQ should be made an “over-the-counter” medicine asap and put an end to this virus BS.
IF the truth be known, the prominent left have probably been on HCQ since a week before their colluded/planned virus release date.

“But none of this mattered.”

It’s a disturbance in the eugenicists softkill army. The NWO is on a mission from Satan. Internet of things. Control all things, all animals, all movement, all speech, all thoughts, all health, all industry, all life. All, all, all. Control where everything is, what everyone is doing. Leave no stone unturned.

Fortunately, the Internet allows us to compile lists of "journalists" who caused deaths by promoting the anti-HCQ "Narrative".

They'll be hunted down at the leisure of those who do such things, sort of like the people who hunted down Adolf Eichmann.

I would be pleased if their exit from the planet wasn't as easy as Eichmann's...

Here is the Zelenko protocol, along with an editorial someone wrote regarding some substitutes.

Perhaps we should all go on mission trips.

-——— - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

SUCCESSFUL THERAPY AGAINST COVID-19 VIRUS from New York State:
Dr. Vladimir (Zev) Zelenko
Board Certified Family Practitioner
501 Rt 208, Monroe, NY 10950
845-238-0000
March 23, 2020
To all medical professionals around the world:
My name is Dr. Zev Zelenko and I practice medicine in Monroe, NY. For the last 16 years, I have cared for approximately 75% of the adult population of Kiryas Joel, which is a very close knit community of approximately 35,000 people in which the infection spread rapidly and unchecked prior to the imposition of social distancing.
As of today my team has tested approximately 200 people from this community for Covid-19, and 65% of the results have been positive. If extrapolated to the entire community, that means more than 20,000 people are infected at the present time. Of this group, I estimate that there are 1500 patients who are in the high-risk category (i.e. >60, immunocompromised, comorbidities, etc).
Given the urgency of the situation, I developed the following treatment protocol in the pre-hospital setting and have seen only positive results:
1. Any patient with shortness of breath regardless of age is treated.
2. Any patient in the high-risk category even with just mild symptoms is treated.
3. Young, healthy and low risk patients even with symptoms are not treated (unless their circumstances change and they fall into category 1 or 2).
My out-patient treatment regimen is as follows:
1. Hydroxychloroquine 200mg twice a day for 5 days
2. Azithromycin 500mg once a day for 5 days
3. Zinc sulfate 220mg once a day for 5 days
The rationale for my treatment plan is as follows. I combined the data available from China and South Korea with the recent study published from France (sites available on request). We know that hydroxychloroquine helps Zinc enter the cell. We know that Zinc slows viral replication within the cell. Regarding the use of azithromycin, I postulate it prevents secondary bacterial infections. These three drugs are well known and usually well tolerated, hence the risk to the patient is low.
Since last Thursday, my team has treated approximately 350 patients in Kiryas Joel and another 150 patients in other areas of New York with the above regimen.
Of this group and the information provided to me by affiliated medical teams, we have had ZERO deaths, ZERO hospitalizations, and ZERO intubations. In addition, I have not heard of any negative side effects other than approximately 10% of patients with temporary nausea and diarrhea.
In sum, my urgent recommendation is to initiate treatment in the outpatient setting as soon as possible in accordance with the above. Based on my direct experience, it prevents acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), prevents the need for hospitalization and saves lives.
With much respect,
Dr. Zev Zelenko

EDITORIAL, not a medical professional:
Most likely, we are all going to get this, or have a loved one who does, or we’ve already had it.

Because the Hydroxychloroquine (quinine derivative) is such an old, well-known and tolerated drug, (used world-wide for malaria without prescription for over 70 years) and is generic, which means it is quite cheap and will not make huge profits, it is being denigrated and withheld as much as possible.

Try to get your doctor to prescribe it, and then a pharmacy to fill it.
It is commonly prescribed long-term for autoimmune diseases such as rheumatiod arthritis and lupus.

For those of us who can’t get this Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) for whatever reason, there are substitutes. So keep this information, look it up, try it out when you or your loved one gets sick. .

Here are some substitutes:

1. Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) (Quinine derivative) 200mg twice a day for 5 days
SCHWEPPS Tonic Water contains 80mg per liter of QUININE. 3 liters of the stuff will have about 240mg of Quinine. 5 liters will give you the same daily amount as above (200mg twice day = 400mg)
They tell you to push fluids when sick. So, SCHWEPPS Tonic water. Try the 3 liters. Get zinc in cells.

2. Azithromycin (Zpak) 500mg once a day for 5 days
Can’t get Zpak? If you take enough vitamin C (10-20 grams per day, spaced out about a gram (1000 mg ) per hour, it acts like an antibiotic. Maybe dissolve in the tonic, but don’t take pills on an empty stomach. If your stool gets soft, skip three hours and dial it back to a gram every other hour. (But you will absorb more vitamin c than you ever thought you could.)

3. Zinc sulfate 220mg once a day for 5 days. (MUST TAKE THE ZINC - IT’S CRITICAL)
Zinc piccolinate, zinc glycinate, zinc gluconate supplements, all seem to work just fine. Check locally, order Amazon, or Puritans Pride www.puritan.com stock #2000 will work, or LifeExtension Foundation#01561 or #01961 www.lef.org. Advise the zinc 220mg dose for 5 days, not more.

The Democrats in 2010 in the House of Representatives passed the “American Clean Energy and Security Act,” which thankfully never reached the floor of the busy Senate. This bill attempted to reduce carbon dioxide emissions in this country per capita to the level last attained circa 1874, reversing more than a century of economic progress.

Today, the Democrats, ever eager to exterminate elderly Americans, especially those who vote Republican or have enough brain function to recall basic history, try to prevent the use of epidemic control techniques that use technology not known in the 19th century. They therefore reject hydroxychloroquine, first approved in 1955. Instead, they prefer hideous fashion mandates, autocratic government, prohibitions on functional society, school closures, arson attacks, suppression of churches, business regulation, travel impediments, and partisan terrorism. Democrats care not that these measures cannot treat disease; they simply prefer to combine reversion to 19th-century technology with 20th-century genocidal autocracy and totalitarian government, all in the name of Karl Marx and his followers.

Glenn is the only Beck family member to test negative - when his family became slightly ill and tested positive, his doctor started him on “an aggressive HCQ/Zinc therapy”...
