These numbers make no sense. There were 125 participants. This means that 3.9 hydroxychloroquine people tested positive, and 4.12 placebo people tested positive. Of course, that's impossible. ALL were non-symptomatic.
One wonders how many false positives were the reason?
I don’t believe a word of it. IMO HCQ has been a known cure for this disease even before Covid 19 was spread out of china. This has been suppressed because if it was known we would NOT have been able to have this fake pandemic.
Bogus study.. Must have zinc plus ascorbic acid.
every case of doctors giving hcq/zinc/d and recovering they consider ‘anecdotal’
this was a study as a prophylactic not a treatment. You do know the difference?
Yes it has been proposed as a prophylactic many times
this was a study as a prophylactic not a treatment
SARS COV2 and COVID 19 are both terms for the virus not the clinical disease. If you are going to call people stupid at least research your terms
this was a study as a prophylactic not a treatment
Yes...per the title, I know that :)
Dr Zev’s prophylactic protocol calls for Zinc and Vit D to be taken along with the HCQ.
That’s how everyone that we know, who are on the HCQ prophylactic regimen, are taking it. After initial week, of taking ALL, daily, then it’s D daily and the HCQ and zinc, weekly.
Yes.....Drs on the frontlines have been taking it, prophylactically, since China Flu first arrived....per many of the articles that were posted, here, early on.
Zinc is not appopriate for long term prophylaxis. Zinc is a poison and its action to inhibit the virus also inhibits normal RNA synthesis which is why the cell walls are designed to reject it. HCQ defeats this mechanism and allows the Zinc ions into the cell which disrupts the RNA replication of the virus. This is cool, but as a long term thing.. it will kill you.
The big problem with this study is that they couldn’t assure levels of exposure and that it is WAY too small - 12-13 people infected. Everyone using Hospital grade PPE, and no way to normalize for all of the impacts as these people worked in different departments and had different contact with the public, who were excluded from entering the facilities without testing negative. And, the whole of the infected were such mild cases that the diagnosis could easily be a false positive.
It indeed may be reasonable to conclude from this study that HÇQ prophylaxis is not worth the cost or effort. Because the risk and potential loss are just not able to justify it. This is because for people under 60, COVID-19 isn’t a major problem, just a political tool.
that’s what i thought
i thought it was a treatment
We have heard for a long time about Political Science. Well we now have a specialty called Political Medicine. We have really seen it with the CV-19 crisis and President Trump. It could have been stopped but instead we are still seeing articles like this, that is totally contradictory to all other ‘scientific’, or unbiased, studies.
The article presents this as if someone has been claiming hcq “prevents” Covid19 infection. Who made that claim?
It IS a treatment....that is a much more concentrated, initial dosage....for so many days. Along with the zinc, Vt D & C, etc.
It’s been posted on many a thread, here....I’m on my phone, so can’t do a good search.
Dr Z says this treatment is what’s so important, at the onset of symptoms.
RE: HCQ is not meant to prevent or reduce the number of asymptomatic people who test positive on a SARS2-COV2 PCR test. It’s to prevent severe reaction to SARS-COV2 as manifested as Covid-19 Disease.
Well, there was a major premise that said HCQ had a PROPHYLACTIC effect on people. Some were even saying that Lupus patients who were taking HCQ regularly seem to be protected from Covid-19. In India, they were giving HCQ to frontline healthcare workers to protect them from contracting it.
*THIS* is the reason for the study, to determine the prophylactic effects of Hydroxychloroquine.
thx
Thats how they are stipping working meds, in the phase 3 placebo trial. HCQ has virtually no side effects, so can someone tell whoever not to prevent me from trying it.
