There is scientific, clinical-trial evidence for hydroxychloroquine. Fauci said the evidence was "anecdotal". That is completely false. This article gives links to the scientific evidence, and adds the fact that Belgium and China have as standard procedure to give Hydroxycholorquine if you are sick with COVID19.

He can drag his feet all he wants.

My sister is a nurse practitioner and can write a script for this.

It’s ALREADY on the market.

Doctors can use it for off label reasons.

Look for widespread though quiet use of this medication soon.

Fauci is a liar.

Here’s the link to the French study:

Fauci is a Deep State midget. I also don’t trust Birx or Seema or any of the CDC ppl they parade up there every day. They all go way back to the 80s and have a history with PEPFAR and the money-making “Global Fund” type of organizations that supposedly are trying to “cure HIV.” According to what I’ve read recently, HIV is incurable and can only be managed, so their goal is unattainable...and therefore pointless.

Fausi is by-the-book, in that unless there are peer-reviewed, double-blind, randomized studies, it’s anecdotal. But this isn’t the time for peer-reviewed, double-blind, randomized. It’s time for “compassionate care”. Get the data later.

The problem is securing an adequate supply not relying on foreign importation.

Yeah and if Trump is proven right his numbers will soar.

“I am not a totally sure what the the President was referring to, but I believe he’s referring to a report that used both Hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin together uh to have some uh possibility of being an effect. Many of the things that you hear out there are are what I had called anecdotal reports. They may be true. But they’re anecdotal.”

Why do I have this odd feeling that if Dr Fauci was on his death bed he would want to eagerly use these meds -”approved” or not?

Bingo. And thank you for posting this article. Fauci is not what he appears to be. Unprepared for H1N1 and thousands died. Did not learn from it.

Worse yet, he is dragging his feet on known cures for corona using inexpensive medications. What is he pushing? New expensive drugs from his buddies in Big Pharma.

open label non randomized clinical trial....

There are various types of clinical trials. Open label, or non blinded, means the patient is getting a known drug. Non randomized means no control group getting a placebo.

The results of either method would ordinarily be downplayed by the med community. They want double blinded studies with a control group. This is what Fauci is referring to when he says no proof. But we’re not talking about a new blood pressure med here.

Fauci seems to be ignoring the realities of the current situation. There is no time for a formal study, and are you going to give someone on a respirator a placebo?

Research will have to be done in real time based on promising “anecdotal” or ad hoc evidence. It will be physicians with balls and brains that solve this crisis and not bureaucrats like Fauci.

If 100 patients are crashing are given Hydroxychloroquine and 80 survive that is your approximate effective rate.

If more effective medicines are developed, Great, use them when wide available.

Simple isn’t it. You don’t need to do a 10 year study to figure this out and we don’t have the time anyway.

Not only are people dying but the economy needs a ventilator too.

I always thought that viruses were impossible to kill.
I thought that one only had to be sick for a while and OUTLIVE them. Their life span isn't that long.

Fauci is a Hillary butt licker.
That’s enough for me not to trust him about anything he says or does.

Follow the money.

Hydroxycholorquine costs about $20 for one month’s supply. It is a generic drug manufactured by several companies. It has been approved and in use since 1955 for malaria and other diseases. It is unlikely that drug companies will pay for clinical trials to test the efficacy of hydroxycholorquine in view of limited profit potential.

Remdesivir is a proprietary experimental drug developed by one major medical company, Gilead Science. It has not been approved for use at all, but is being clinically tested, apparently sponsored by Gilead Science. Estimated cost for one month’s supply is $1,000. There is a high profit potential if this drug is ultimately approved.

Is it any wonder that the drug industry is trying to slow the use of Hydroxycholoroquine to maintain a market for
Remdesivir after it finishes clinical trials?

The FDA has long had a symbiotic relationship with the drug industry, which some might view as incestuous, or worse. It is possible that the FDA is complicit in delaying use of hydroxychloroquine to allow a window of opportunity for the profit from Remdesivir.

Tiny, seditious, Dr. Anthony Fauci

Fauci impugns the President with his LIES

BUT Wikileaks reveals the snot

Hillary Clinton and Anne-Marie Slaughter

A comprehensive article on why hydroxycloroquine works can be found here.

https://spinstrangenesscharm.wordpress.com/2020/03/20/covid19-update-a-brief-look-at-three-possible-drugs-bonus-a-brief-look-at-pre-existing-conditions-in-italy/

A quick summary is that it allows Zinc ions to cross the cell barrier and block the mechanism that the virus uses to reproduce.

When you take zinc on first feeling a cold, this is why it works, but only a very little zinc actually makes it into your cells. Cloroquine allows zinc to cross the cell barrier and this increases the concentration of zinc significantly.

Now it has side effects so you have to understand and accept those risks, and mixing it with other drugs creates unknown risks. But, the other side is that these risks are completely known for use of Clorquine and a zinc supplement, regardless of the antibiotic you might pair this with.
