During this COVID-19 pandemic, Pierce County, Washington residents expect our public health system to aggressively confront the virus.
Data from South Korea and France demonstrate hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin taken orally for five days have striking results for example, 95% of severely ill treated patients had symptoms quickly resolved, vs. 25% of untreated patients and evidence builds that malaria and lupus sufferers taking hydroxychloroquine are COVID-resistant.
These are not gold standard double-blind studies. But a delta of 70 points is strong evidence that hydroxychloroquine suppresses viral replication and mitigates disease severity, preventing hospitalizations.
Our health experts have known about this treatment for a long time, but still resist recommending it for use before a symptomatic patient must be hospitalized. Why?
Are they afraid of a run on these meds? That word makes us think of a mosh pit of people grabbing for toilet paper at the grocery store.
But these meds require a doctors visit, where the doctor identifies the patients symptoms and risk profile, and writes the prescription if its called for. Then a pharmacist checks the prescription and dispenses the meds. The fear of a run just isnt real.
Are they afraid hydroxychloroquine wont be available for rheumatoid arthritis or lupus patients? Its half-life is 40 days (thats how long it stays in the patients system after being ingested); it is often not the primary med for R.A.; and the supply can be replenished quickly, as it has been recently.
Meantime, fewer elders with co-morbidities will be hospitalized and die with COVID.
Are they afraid of side effects? Those havent kept doctors from prescribing hydroxychloroquine for R.A. or lupus, so why the great concern with COVID?
Remember, these same experts knew weeks ago that non-symptomatic COVID carriers could infect others but told us wearing a mask wasnt effective to suppress its spread. Last week, they admitted thats untrue.
Are they afraid hydroxychloroquine doesnt have final FDA approval for COVID? Doctors often prescribe medications off-label after assessing the patients health and the risks and benefits. Now even the FDA has approved this.
Worst case, it doesnt work. Best case, it does. So why not use it with high-risk patients who have COVID symptoms, to prevent hospitalization?
Are they afraid it will displace another effective treatment? Unlikely, since there isnt another one generally available. The public health system is touting the infusion drug remdesivir, which requires hospitalization, also has side effects (like infections at the infusion site) and will cost hundreds of times the cost of two little pills taken at home for 5 days.
Maybe remdesivirs huge income potential for the health system is relevant to this conversation.
Are they afraid that stories of hydroxychloroquines healing effects are true, so they call them just anecdotal? Well, a delta of 70 is a little more than anecdotal. And if its your spouse or favorite auntie, avoiding severe health problems is a pretty powerful outcome to be dismissed with just.
The thousands of known anecdotes are real stories about health recovered, hospitalizations prevented, COVIDs spread in a home stopped and lives saved; they cannot be so easily dismissed. And they are being acted upon outside of our health system.
As our public health experts wait for more research, or for a higher authority to give its approval, hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin are being used around the world to attack COVID and prevent hospitalizations.
It is past time for health experts here to suppress their fears, use their reason and fulfill their primary duty to protect our communitys health. Our neighbors are dying for it.
I just watched a New York CBS local tv report about a man who had a miraculous recovery at Jacobi Hospital in the Bronx. He thought he was dying and the doctors said his outlook wasn’t good. He was saved by a miracle drug but they seemed to go out of their way to not say the name of the drug. The reporter never asked and the doctor being interviewed never said it. Why? That’s not an important part of the story. It might not have been hydroxychloroquine, but once again, why not say what it was?
They’re afraid it’s cheap and effective and that Big Pharma won’t make billions in profits.
RE: Thats not a bad regimen at all. He should drop the Tylenol.
Actually, if you look at his regimen, you will notice hes taking quinine, and his press colleagues keep telling us that anti-malarial drugs (like quinine and hydroxychloroquine) are quackery for the coronavirus.
This is part of his list:
1 OKO-3x daily (stabilized oxygen, potentized Quinine 3x homeopathic dilution prepared in Sac Lac base)
Actually, if you look at his regimen from the list I just sent you, you will notice hes taking quinine, and his press colleagues keep telling us that anti-malarial drugs (like quinine and hydroxychloroquine) are quackery for the coronavirus.

Hysterical headlines dont help.
As a Homeopathic that quinine isn’t going to do the same thing as quinine at all and quinine is a far cry from chloroquine in potency. The O2 is probably the useful part of that. Maybe.
What impressed me was the Echinacea/OSHA compound. Not many people know what Osha is. I’ve used it to flat stop colds and flu viruses in their tracks for 25 years. Lomatium is pretty powerful against viruses too, especially respiratory viruses, although I don’t see that in Fredo’s regimen.
I would add one more reason: their power and authority and egos are threatened. The idea that the drug might be effective was not theirs. Their worst fear might be that the public would ignore their decrees, and would be right to do so.
Right.
I read about some fancy-pants doc out east that elbowed a peasant out of a Remdesivir clinical trial "because privilege".
I would suspect Fredo Cuomo got the same deal.
Still - "anecdotal".
He - Is - Cornut-Io!
That may be what he is taking now. My question would be “what was he taking?”
They are afraid it’s going to work well and make Trump look good.
And they can’t afford any of THAT. What a disaster that would be for them.
They do NOT want people well. It does not mesh with their plans.
Just a guess.
According to this article yes.
Follow the money. hydroxychloroquine is out of patent and is cheap. No profit for Big Pharma or the Bill Gates Foundation.
Plus they can keep everything shut down too boot. They don’t care if you die.
Short answer- Because it destroys Bill Gates' and Big Pharma's 666 vaccine.
You beat me by 10.5 minutes.
Hanged
They don’t want it because it isn’t a Gates funded vaccine. They want to wait for Gates to get his own vaccine produced.
exactly.
