RE: Doctors do not simply try things like that. Quacks do.
These doctors did not invent the use of HCQ combo out of thin air. They read the studies done on other places ( e.g. China,South Korea,France) and tried to replicate them.
And seeing how the replications have found successes, they report it and when polled, they simply respond according to their experience.
So as I said, you have to INCLUDE those who have actually used it, not based on some “trying things for the heck of it”, but based on what they have read and seen retrospectively in other cases.
Dr. Zelenko for instance, did not invent his protocol. He based it on the successful cases done in the past.
He did?? Where did you read that?
In an interview with Forward, Zelenko “acknowledged that his regimen was new and untested, and that it was too soon to assess its long-term effectiveness.”
As has been noted elsewhere, combining hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin can cause serious problems for people with certain heart conditions. Though zinc appears to be an important factor in several immune functions, a potential mechanism for how it might work against viral infections is not well-understood.
He seems to have based his treatment on a Petri Dish. (Dr Zelenko). Which is fine. And I am certainly not “against research”. But when a serious researcher does research he discusses his results with his peers. He doesn’t blast it to the world on the internet by email. THAT is how you get all this chaos. That is why what he did was once illegal.
