He’s an ICU doc. By the time he sees a patient, it’s too late for the HCQ protocol.
"For all infected patients, many of whom are not very symptomatic, have lung lesions on CT scan, we propose, at the earliest stage of the disease, as soon as the diagnosis is made:
as part of the precautions for use of this combination (including an electrocardiogram on Day0 and Day2). In cases of severe pneumonia, a broad-spectrum antibiotic is also used."
- Hydroxychloroquine (200 mg x 3 per day for 10 days)
- +
- Azithromycin (500 mg on the 1st day then 250 mg per day for 5 more days)
He is very much about starting the protocol while the patient can literally still swallow the pills. You stick the ventilator tube in and you've waited too long.
Also, there is no zinc in his protocol. These are the results:
Left represents viral load, bottom represents "Jour" treatment date.
This is not a criticism of zinc, btw, just setting the record straight. Raoult has never mentioned zinc, but has achieved amazing success fighting COVID-19 with just a dollar-a-day PQL + Z-PAK.
Raoult is one of those French doctors who chooses not to speak in English (I believe he understands some questions spoken in English), and the #MSM has chosen the Professor's committment to his profession instead of becoming a talking head (and he has plenty to say on that subject) to besmirch his life-saving treatment with all manner of calumny like that ridiculous VA "survey" study.
