Those Published “17,000 Hydroxychloroquine Deaths” Never Happened
heritage.org ^ | Sep 23, 2024 | David Gortler, PharmD

Posted on 02/20/2025 4:12:17 PM PST by ransomnote

Early January of 2024, Americans learned about the publication of an article from Elsevier’s Journal of Biomedicine and Pharmacotherapy overseen by Dr. Danyelle Townsend, a professor at the University of South Carolina College of Pharmacy’s Department of Drug Discovery and Biomedical Sciences. As Editor-in-Chief, Dr. Townsend reviewed, approved, and published the article titled: “Deaths induced by compassionate use of hydroxychloroquine during the first COVID-19 wave: An estimate.” 

The article was always a hypothesized estimate of people that might have died, but now even that estimate has been retracted. The reason for the retraction was that the Belgian dataset that was one of the bases for the piece was found to be “unreliable” (but in reality was fraudulent). The article also repeatedly referenced the New England Journal of Medicine’s 2020 RECOVERY trial. The RECOVERY trial is well known to be a deeply flawed study which, in addition to implementing late treatment in severely ill Covid patients, used extremely high doses of HCQ

The now retracted publication authors were all French or Canadian, with the primary author a pharmacist by the name of Alexiane Pradelle. According to a rudimentary internet search, Dr. Pradelle had never published before. Subsequently, listed authors were degreed as physicians, pharmacists, and/or professors of their respective disciplines. The main, corresponding author, Jean-Christophe Lega, runs the Evaluation and Modeling of Therapeutic Effects team at the University of Lyon. 

Hydroxychloroquine’s Fabled Safety History Contrasts Data

In addition to being a hypothesized estimate, the article also attacked the legendary safety of HCQ, contradicting centuries of the safety of quinolines as a class.

Yep, trust the science, right covidiots and vaxers?

How many people died because of trusting this “science” which lead to extreme resistance to its use?

Heartless murderers all of you.

This retraction is no surprise to people familiar with the use of hydroxychloroquine to treat autoimmune diseases.

These people need to be indicted, arrested , prosecuted and to spend the rest of their lives in jail

This absolute fraud. HCQ is one of the safest, most prescribed drugs in existence. It has 60 year track record all over the world

The evil left really set out to murder as many as possible. First with Covid, next with the “treatment”, and finally by withholding the inexpensive medications that could truly treat the virus.

I know one goal was to defeat Trump in 2020 but there was also something more evil at work. Those such as the WEF leaders want to reduce the population to “save humanity”. Not themselves of course, for they are too important. But reduce the population of what they see as “useless breathers”. Those such as middle-class freedom loving Americans.

There should be arrests, trials, and hangings.

Agree.

It has too many benefits for BigPharma to want it easily available. 😡

Skip the trials, go right from arrest to execution.

Rough street justice, maybe, but a very cautionary note for future “influencers”.

They didn’t want people using something safe and effective. It would improve their health rather than kill them.

Hydroxychloriquine is in the top 10 of most prescribed drugs.

I read early on during the Covid-19 scare that a French doctor treated over 2,750 elderly patience withe the hydroxychloriquine cocktail. Only one died, and that was for some other reason.

In the face of that, Fauci and his supporters claimed there was no clinical trial proving hydroxychloriquine was safe and effective. Who needs a clinical trial when the hydroxychloriquine cocktail cured everyone who got it within five days.

You were right again.

Phil Valentine and too many others died needlessly.

I don’t know about you folks, but to me it’s sounds like a MAJOR FELONY worthy of DECADES IN PRISON and Complete Civil Asset Forfeiture.

Was this paper funded by USAID, and written by the CIA?

The RECOVERY trial is well known to be a deeply flawed study which, in addition to implementing late treatment in severely ill Covid patients, used extremely high doses of HCQ.

Everything I heard indicated that HCQ was best as a preventative, not a late treatment. Using heavy doses as a late treatment is like saying "exercise is good for your heart, so the ambulance driving you to the hospital for your heart attack will stop a mile short and you can run the rest of the way."

Thanks for the ping,ransomnote….I believe eventually we are going to weed out tons of fraudulence in the NIH, hospital systems, pharmaceutical companies and our own government.
All involved in bombing humanity with this bioweapon deserve the death.
