'The Crime of the Century': New Hydroxychloroquine Study Proves We Need to Reform the Drug Approval Process
PJ Media ^ | 06/13/2021 | Stacey Lennox

Posted on 06/13/2021 8:31:49 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

On March 21, 2020, President Donald Trump tweeted out a plea to the CDC and FDA to allow doctors to treat COVID-19 patients with hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) and azithromycin (AZT). Both are cheap and effective medications that the medical community had decades of experience using for various illnesses. Recently, another study demonstrated increased survival rates when HCQ was given in combination with AZT to those who were severely ill with COVID-19.

What should bother Americans is that this is not the first study that demonstrated the effectiveness of HCQ. According to a website that has been tracking studies on early treatments for COVID-19, there have been 255 studies globally that show significant improvement when HCQ is given early in the illness. The results should surprise no one.

In 2005, HCQ’s precursor with the same action, chloroquine, was found to inhibit the growth of SARS-CoV-1 in vitro. The researchers concluded:

Chloroquine is effective in preventing the spread of SARS CoV in cell culture. Favorable inhibition of virus spread was observed when the cells were either treated with chloroquine prior to or after SARS CoV infection.

Doctors now prescribe HCQ rather than the older chloroquine because it is a less toxic metabolite when taken long-term.

The study indicated that the drug could be used as a prophylactic or treatment for the original SARS. SARS-CoV-2, commonly called COVID-19, is 80% similar to SARS and uses the same receptor to enter human cells. It made sense that doctors, when confronted with the new strain, would look at the literature for SARS. French physician and microbiologist Didier Raoult was one of the first advocates for the use of HCQ in COVID-19.

FRAUDci, Pharma and their evil minions made sure to block and/or smear these studies, President Trump and any REAL doctor who touted this treatment.

Crime of the Century, indeed.

FRAUDci and his accomplices need to be perp walked, yesterday.

I post stories like this all the time on Facebook. They block them eventually. Some faster than others.

I wonder how long it will take them this time.

Fauci funded gain of function research and some clever Chicom agents, that were mad at Trump for the tariff war, unleashed it on the world then manipulated the US press, the WHO and social media. That about sums it up.

The drug approval process has been corrupt since thalidomide and Vioxx. Government power is invariably corrupted by money, and the only cure is limited government.

Cichona Officionalis is available at your local Leftist Crunchy Granola Herbarium.

What is that?

Actual Quinine from the tree.

In a pinch, and without a proper Hydroxychlorquine prescription, I’ll self medicate.

HCQ, and Ivermectin, are too cheap, and too effective, for Big Pharma and Big Tech.

Thus, the criminal propaganda against both.

For a vaccine to get “Emergency Use Authorization”, it is necessary that there be no other viable treatment.

https://www.fda.gov/emergency-preparedness-and-response/mcm-legal-regulatory-and-policy-framework/emergency-use-authorization

“Under section 564 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act), when the Secretary of HHS declares that an emergency use authorization is appropriate, FDA may authorize unapproved medical products or unapproved uses of approved medical products to be used in an emergency to diagnose, treat, or prevent serious or life-threatening diseases or conditions caused by CBRN threat agents when certain criteria are met, including there are no adequate, approved, and available alternatives. “

If there WAS a viable treatment, the the drug companies could not, legally, have been granted Emergency Use Authorization. It was therefore necessary that there was no other approved treatment.

Consider for a moment that Josef Fauci intentionally blocked the early use of provenly effective drugs so he could track the rate of spread. Remember he said the research was worth the risk of a pandemic.

Never let a good pandemic go to waste…

I recall on more than one occasion during a Trump presser some young attractive chinese woman would begin asking abrasive questions and Trump would stop and ask who they work for and if it was state owned. The answer was 'chinese media outlet whatever' and 'lie that it is privately owned' which was quickly proven to be a lie. Chinese agents were sitting in the White House press room, protected by the other presstitutes, and reading out communist talking points to the US President.

We're in a cold war with China and they are winning.

Why does it have to be approved ..it has been used for fifty years all over the world...

The only study you need was the death rate in malaria countries against those in the west after the first month..
