Dozens of new clinical trials into the controversial antimalarial drug hydroxychloroquine have been registered with the U.S. government since President Trump first advertised it as a potential “game changer” against the coronavirus via March 21 tweet.
In the weeks after, the number of COVID-19 drug trials in the U.S. National Institute of Health registry nearly tripled, from 66 to 183, with dozens of new hydroxychloroquine trials driving the uptick.
Before the president’s tweet, roughly 1 in 10 trials studied hydroxychloroquine as an intervention. After, 1 in 3 new trials involve hydroxychloroquine.
Trump’s rhetoric around the drug is likely behind the surge, some of the nation’s leading infectious disease experts told the USA TODAY Network. And while they agree that the new wave of trials should help definitely resolve whether the drug is indeed effective against COVID-19, they cautioned that results in most studies are still months away.
But damage from hydroxychloroquine’s swift and widespread adoption may already be happening, the experts said.
Many doctors have been prescribing hydroxychloroquine to coronavirus patients, despite no conclusive evidence of its success. This is exposing patients already suffering from cardiac ailments due to COVID-19 to a drug with cardiac toxicity, whose known side effects include cardiac arrhythmia and arrest, said Dr. Andre Kalil, Director of Transplant Infectious Diseases at the University of Nebraska.
“If we don’t do randomized controlled trials, if we just give these drugs to people just because they are sick, a lot of people may end up being killed by this drug because of the side effects,” Kalil said. “And we’ll never know it because we’ll think they died from COVID-19.”

What is wrong with having something to treat it that’s cheap before a vaccine is found? Do these people who say we need to lock up forever have work? Not care about people going out to find a new spouse, etc?
TDS could also slow a cure...
There’s a reason why dire projections about COVID-19 have been wrong, with a do nothing projection of public panic inducing 1 to 2.2 million deaths?
One of the reasons is called Hydroxy-chloroiquin, which does not exist as a factor for the lefty , plutocrat modellers like Birx and Fauci.
There has been a huge usage by physicians which has not been tracked , because BIG PHARM does not want it to be tracked.
********************************
End the pandemic with cheap, available meds:
************************************
Put every citizen in the USA on Hydroxy-chloroquin prophylaxis dosage. ( 1 x 200 mg HCQ/day, 1 x 220 mg Zinc sulphate or other Zinc vitamin/day)Reopen our Country.
Do NOT listen to big pharm and Plutocrats like Fauci and Birx.
Do not let the Alinskyites win.
***************************************
RE-OPEN THE COUNTRY
USE the HCQ
The Zelenko Protocol:
Dr Zelenko has perfected a therapy in the United States which has three components proven to work, every time, if administered before the lungs fill with mucus.
What is being used is a combination of drugs , not just Hydroxy-chloroquin, which shows that the Democrats and Big Pharm do not want what is working should be understood by the People.They rail against a single part of the therapy without revealing the rest of it because IT WORKS.But it has to be administered before the lungs fill with mucus.
But what President Trump’s agent, Rudy Giuliani has done is created a populist end run around the CDC ( Fauci) and the FDA. This to save lives.( See video link below)
If you are a Trump supporter you know what to do. Contact your physician and ask whether this therapy can be available if you need it. If not shop around. And if you find a Jewish doctor, you’re in like Flynn.The therapy cost of the drugs is $20.00, so it won’t break you.
Its really up to you.
President Trump has arranged for millions of dosages to come into our country from Israel’s Teva Corporation....Free. Availability will be no problem.
Secondly there is a pretty sure possibility that hydroxy-chloroquine acts as an prophylaxis, taking 1 x 200 mg HCQ per day along with a 200 mg Zinc supplement.Almost all of the front line doctors in NYC are doing this, so why not everybody. We soon will have enough HCQ to do that.

Dr. Vladimir (Zev) Zelenko
Board Certified Family Practitioner
501 Rt 208, Monroe, NY 10950

March 23, 2020
To all medical professionals around the world:
My name is Dr. Zev Zelenko and I practice medicine in Monroe, NY. For the last 16 years, I have cared for approximately 75% of the adult population of Kiryas Joel, which is a very close knit community of approximately 35,000 people in which the infection spread rapidly and unchecked prior to the imposition of social distancing.
As of today my team has tested approximately 200 people from this community for Covid-19, and 65% of the results have been positive. If extrapolated to the entire community, that means more than 20,000 people are infected at the present time. Of this group, I estimate that there are 1500 patients who are in the high-risk category (i.e. >60, immunocompromised, comorbidities, etc).
Given the urgency of the situation, I developed the following treatment protocol in the pre-hospital setting and have seen only positive results:
1. Any patient with shortness of breath regardless of age is treated.
2. Any patient in the high-risk category even with just mild symptoms is treated.
3. Young, healthy and low risk patients even with symptoms are not treated (unless their circumstances change and they fall into category 1 or 2).
My out-patient treatment regimen is as follows:
1. Hydroxychloroquine 200mg twice a day for 5 days
2. Azithromycin 500mg once a day for 5 days
3. Zinc sulfate 220mg once a day for 5 days
The rationale for my treatment plan is as follows. I combined the data available from China and South Korea with the recent study published from France (sites available on request). We know that hydroxychloroquine helps Zinc enter the cell. We know that Zinc slows viral replication within the cell. Regarding the use of azithromycin, I postulate it prevents secondary bacterial infections. These three drugs are well known and usually well tolerated, hence the risk to the patient is low.
Since last Thursday, my team has treated approximately 350 patients in Kiryas Joel and another 150 patients in other areas of New York with the above regimen.
Of this group and the information provided to me by affiliated medical teams, we have had ZERO deaths, ZERO hospitalizations, and ZERO intubations. In addition, I have not heard of any negative side effects other than approximately 10% of patients with temporary nausea and diarrhea.
In sum, my urgent recommendation is to initiate treatment in the outpatient setting as soon as possible in accordance with the above. Based on my direct experience, it prevents acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), prevents the need for hospitalization and saves lives.
With much respect,
Dr. Zev Zelenko

The Democrats and their media propagandists are pooping in their pants over Chloroquine proving so effective.
Clearly the libs don’t want this to end until after the election.
Thanks Kenny!
“could” - Drink!
What a surprise another “Trump is evil” article. I swear these media types are hoping the country is destroyed. I’ve had about enough of these disingenuous evil doers.
Open up the country on May 1. Enough already! We take our risks every year with the flu and other viruses, with driving our cars, with flying, etc. We survived H1N1 with no national shutdown and scare tactics. The natives are getting restless.
Many doctors have been prescribing hydroxychloroquine to coronavirus patients, despite no conclusive evidence of its success.>>>>>>
There is the lie.
You can’t create conclusive evidence in the middle of a pandemic, and the globalist Big Pharm ba$tards know it.They seek to hoodwink America using pre pandemic drug approval process.
Sorry, the world has changed.
Bring on HydroxyChloriquine paired with Zinc vitamin as preventative.IOts cheap, available and highly effective.
END THE FAKE SHUTDOWN.
The newspaper could have used a more honest headline. I suggest
“Trump’s Support For Hydroxychloroquine To Treat COVID - 19 Poses Existential Threat to Gates’ and Leftists’ Grand Design to Loot, Enslave and Murder Ordinary People”
There is a fast one too and permanent!
HQL is bad because then we (pharma) won't make any real money off this crisis. And by the way we (pharma) pay the networks and media companies a ton of money on explicit and implicit sponsorship deals so we are putting the full screws to them to trash HQL.
Oh and by the way lots of government (WHO, CDC, political leaders of US and Foreign countries) types sit on our boards and stand to make a ton of money off this too so they will go out as organizations and scare the public into thinking HQL is bad just like Orange Man Is.
I DO NOT think Orange Man is the primary driver of this propaganda. This is corporate propaganda. I could be wrong ... but the outright denial and gaslighting when it comes to HQL is too organized and specific for a bunch of journalists with TDS.
Anything Trump does, they have to find some reason it is wrong.
Another news story funded by Gates and approved by that Fuici guy.
Another media propaganda outfit that needs to be burned to the ground.
Yup, I’m gonna believe a mere journalist wearing Orange Man bad badges.
Sorry, media, there’s a reason you are not scientists...you’re effing stupid.
Are we supposed to let people die until a "cure" is found?
The medicos have had a LONG time to know about the side effects.
This is a jerk-off hit piece. In my opinion, too many “alternatives” are being studied, wasting resources in this crisis. Everyone has their own stake in their own treatment, and that’s what we’re seeing.
This is an “up-tempo” game, and Trump is right to make an early call on a play.
