‘Only a one in 17 billion chance Hydroxychloroquine doesn’t work for Covid-19’: Professor of Medicine at Baylor University
Sky News Australia ^ | 11/28/2020

Posted on 11/30/2020 8:57:59 PM PST by SeekAndFind

Hydroxychloroquine really works says Professor of Medicine Dr Peter McCullough, describing the treatment as “the most widely used therapeutic” to treat COVID-19 in the world. Dr. McCulloagh is vice chair of Internal Medicine at Baylor University Medical Center and a professor of medicine at Texas A&M College of Medicine.

“The chances that it doesn’t work are calculated to be one in 17 billion,” he told Sky News.

“There’s no controversy over whether or not hydroxychloroquine works. The controversy is on the public health approach to COVID-19."

Dr McCullough said “the virus invades inside cells, so we have to use drugs that go inside the cell and work to reduce viral replication".

“The drugs that work within the cell and actually reduce viral replication are hydroxychloroquine, Ivermectin, doxycycline and azithromycin”.

“Sadly, in the United States and I know in Australia this happens all the time, patients get no treatment whatsoever. They literally are told to stay at home until they are sick enough to go to the hospital” “I think that honestly it’s atrocious.

“History will look back on that and think it was the worst way to handle a potentially fatal illness."

There are lunatic paranoiac bureaucrats in Europe who are now accusing such doctors of killing Africans, saying Africans followed the HcQ prescription because of them, as if African doctors were dum arses. Africans did not wait for Europe to give them the go ahead to use this drug, what utter racist Bs.

Just like the media seem to insist ridiculously that Fox News somehow shaped my mind, as if I was an imbecile. Talk about gaslighting.

I keep asking where the BILLIONS of doses we ordered, earlier this year are.....where are they being stockpiled?

"Hundreds of millions of doses" were donated to our national stockpile. I use quotes because some of that amount was contingent on doctors actually using the drug to treat COVID. While some doctors are willing to prescribe HCQ off label, that HCQ does not come from the National Stockpile. When the FDA rescinded it's Emergency Use Authorization, and "strongly cautioned against" treating COVID-19 with HCQ, they also shut off access to the National Stockpile.

Today, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) revoked the emergency use authorization (EUA) that allowed for chloroquine phosphate and hydroxychloroquine sulfate donated to the Strategic National Stockpile to be used to treat certain hospitalized patients with COVID-19 when a clinical trial was unavailable, or participation in a clinical trial was not feasible.

Add to that, major hospital chains and HMO's cut of HCQ based on the FDA's announcement, because, well because LAWYERS. The FDA killed HCQ.

No; there is a link at the site that can hook you up with a doctor who will prescribe the hydroxychloriquine cocktail, and have it delivered to you the same day.

Also, I’d bet you know 5-10 people who take hydroxychloriquine and have more than enough that they can give you what you need. Getting the Z-pac from a doctor is easy.

My wife takes hydroxychloriquine for some autoimmune issues. I used some of hers to start with an then a friend of hers who has RA dropped off a bunch of it.

As I replied later in this post, most people know 5-10 people who have plenty of extra hydroxychloriquine and can spare what’s needed.

Thanks. My wife just got over coronavirus, and had no HCQ. I gave her zinc with Quercetin and green tea extract (both zinc ionophores, like HCQ, but the latter is better. I would like to think that I helped her with this regimen (including over 10,000 units/day if Vitamin D).

Glad to see on the site that TX is an easy state in which to get HCQ. If any of the rest of us get it, I will take advantage of the site - THANKS again!

I have a friend who runs a Christian ministry in Kenya. She can buy all the hydroxychloriquine over the counter at any pharmacy in her area, and it is very cheap.

So you’re telling me there’s a chance.

Glad to see that there is someone who is sane, rational and not a Marxist at Baylor. Wonder how long his job will last, and how long the sanity will last.

Cinchona bark capsules of which quinine > chloroquine > hydroxychloroquine are derived from can be had OTC from Amazon. It’s my backstop if we get sick and Doctors sit on their hands with HCQ scripts. Liquid form is available as well.

The most Americans killed by Democrats since the Civil War has occurred because the Dems politicized the use of HCQ.
