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.
If I had a loved one that died from COVID-19, I'd be taking names and filing suits.
Agree.
And, include docs/hospitals/pharmacies who denied this safe and effective early (and, per reports, even later stage) treatment.
I have been buying cinchona bark by the pound for more than a year and using it to make tonic water I drink about 6 oz of this homemade tonic water along with my zinc, Vit D, B12, C and Quercetin. That’s proactive in keeping the viruses away. I tell everyone. Nobody does anything but wear a mask and wait for a vaccine.
