Thanks for all your work on this. Of all the unbelievable f*cknuttery in this giant cluster, the blase reactions of Fauci and Redfield to possible cures is the most unbelievable. 100 years from now, historians will describe the Salem witch trials as the “Covid-19 of the 1690’s”.
In April, Dr. Robin Amstrong, whose medical group serves the Resort at Texas City nursing home, successfully treated 56 residents and 31 staff members who had tested positive for COVID-19. He administered HCQ with zinc supplements and an antibiotic for five days. As a result, only one of his patients and not a single staff member died. This compares favorably with the usual Case Fatality Rate of about 15% for patients who are 80 and up.
Armstrong used the same 5-day course of treatment that had been successfully used by primary care physician Dr. Vladimir Zelenko when COVID-19 raged through the New York Hasidic community that he served. If this treatment proves to be as effective as Armstrong and Zelenko report, then tens of thousands of lives could be saved. But the CDC has not yet conducted a randomized clinical study to determine if it works.
I HAVE YET TO SEE A CDC OR ANY FORMAL GOVERNMENT STUDY THAT TRIES TO REPLICATE THE CONDITIONS THAT MADE THESE DOCTORS SUCCESSFUL.
All so-called studies I have see so far using HCQ, either do not use Zinc, or applied HCQ to patients already in the late stages of the disease.
Why re-invent the wheel? There are hundreds of successful cases out there... all one has to do is reach out to the successful doctors and work with them.
