The World Health Organization is temporarily suspending the use of hydroxychloroquine from its global study into experimental treatments for the coronavirus.
WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said in a news briefing Monday that a study published last week showed those taking hydroxychloroquine had a greater risk of heart problems and death.

May 22, 2020No Improvement in Death Rate for COVID-19 Patients who Received Hydroxychloroquine
A research team led by investigators from Brigham and Women’s Hospital has evaluated real-world evidence related to outcomes for COVID-19 patients who were treated with hydroxychloroquine or chloroquine analogues (with or without a macrolide). Investigators found no evidence that either drug regimen reduced the death rate among patients. Patients treated with hydroxychloroquine or chloroquine regimens were far more likely to experience abnormal, rapid heart rhythms (known as ventricular arrhythmias) than their counterparts who had not received the drugs. The team’s findings are published in The Lancet.

Yes they will. Trump has decided this hill is worth taking, God bless him. Mr. Klobuchar's story helps our cause -- it ruined Amy's chances for VP and it's a wedge we can drive home,
"Hey, so you want the same treatment that cured a Democrat Senator's husband, but she says you can't have any? today I'm signing an Executive Order permanently permitting Plaquenil to be prescribed by any doctor in the US as a matter of National Security. As part of that prescription, I am adding Professor / Doctor Raoult's protocol that includes ECG/EKG on D0 & D2, and inviting Dr. Raoult to the White House to explain to the #MSM his unrivaled success in reducing the COVID-19 viral load in tens of thousands of his patients in Marseilles. "
If there is the chance of cardiac disease, give the patient an EKG. Treat the person as early as possible, before the infection impacts the heart. HCQ prevents the virus from entering the cell through the ACE-2 receptor where it reproduces hundreds of new viruses that infect new cells. It is a biological chain reaction. Shutting it down is like putting a rod into the nuclear pile.
So, it was working too well?
So, it was working too well?
Apparently so.

“Pay no attention to the pharmacist behind the curtain. The Great and Powerful Big Pharma has spoken.”
Now we KNOW that hydroxychloroquine with zinc works.
President Trump, PLEASE DO NOT resume any funding of The WHO.
They might want to have actual doctors running those trials instead of political hacks.
I’ve been seeing patients on hydroxychloroquine for 25 years and have never heard of heart problems!
TOTAL BS!!!
“Chloroquine Is a Potent Inhibitor of SARS Coronavirus Infection and Spread”
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16115318/
At the time Fauci was all for it.
Cut the murdering **s off, not another dime.
No heart testing in the protocol for RA or lupus sufferers prescribed this for the past several decades. Used for anti-malarial treatment worldwide for many decades, w/o an EKG being part of the protocol. And they didn’t include zinc or prescribe early on, if they saw no difference in outcomes. This is bogus, politicized research. These ‘doctors’ should lose their license to practice, if they have one.
My son is in A.I.
He and a lot people are working on a genetic sequence to find a drug that will basically wind around the virus’s spikes, it’s access to lung cells ACE-2 receptors and stop them from enter the cell.
He then explained how A.I. was involved and my brain went DUH!!!
they got their orders from China.
this story is being carried all over the world, with the emphasis on Trump. what is not being mentioned?

“Trump defunds the WHO over their incompetence....so they become petty and small”
It’s probably really that simple.
I do not believe a single word of this. All lies.
How do they know the results, if they suspend the study?
How? Because the head of WHO is paid by the ChiCom’s.
Look to this link in English.

Also look to this link, in French from Didier Raoult himself.
https://www.lindependant.fr/2020/05/25/coronavirus-hommes-politiques-medias-etude-foireuse-sur-la-chloroquine-le-professeur-didier-raoult-regle-ses-comptes,8902250.php
I ran it through Google translate with the text below. But point is his hospital has best results anywhere using his HCQ protocol.
The Professor from Marseille published a video on Monday as a response to the famous study on hydroxychloroquine which demolishes the treatment he has been ardent defender of. A punchy video in which Didier Raoult settles his accounts.
Didier Raoult in the ropes? No! Heckled by a last study showing the ineffectiveness or even the harmful nature of hydroxychloroquine, Didier Raoult counter-attacks. While the article published in The Lancet - which shows that chloroquine increases the mortality rate in patients with coronavirus - prompted Olivier Véran, Minister of Health, to review the chloroquine protocol, Didier Raoult replied to his way via his social networks. A video posted on Twitter this Monday in which he is interviewed. And dismantles point by point the arguments put forward in the specialized medical journal. The intonation so special of Professor Marseille is the same. But the tone has definitely changed. He who denounces a “messy study”, between irony and good words. He who also claims to have a head start, charging politicians and the media. Selected pieces.
“If elsewhere hydroxychloroquine kills, here it saves lives”
“The coronavirus epidemic is ending as I imagined it is happening. We closed our first very very large study with more than 3600 patients which allows us to have a fairly clear vision of what is happening Most people have been treated with the combination of hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin. And in this group, mortality is 0.5%, the lowest in the world. I don’t know if hydroxychloroquine is anywhere else kills, here she saves a lot of people.
“We did 130,000 tests, we diagnosed 5,000 cases, many of which were treated here. We believe we have done our job.”
“I was one of the first to say that the children were not affected. Now we know why, I will tell you next week. We also know that zinc plays a role in the severity of the disease. People who have severe conditions have lower zinc levels than others. We know that people can be very sick with very visible lesions on the CT scan while they are not short of breath. “
“This is the end of the epidemic, we will have to learn from it, with a little patience, the press does not live on the same pace as us. We are very calm about what we did, after you know, scientific, political, advertising quarrels have a time, time sorts all that out. “
Why these contradictions between the studies on hydroxychloroquine? Elements of response emerge when we note that the studies against this treatment are mainly studies carried out on databases, not on patients.
“How do you want a messed up study with big data to change what we saw here?”
“Latest study: it’s a bit crazy. I understand that people have difficulties, journalists, politicians,” ah you say that, he says that “, it’s not my problem. Here we have 4000 patients in our hands. You don’t think I’m going to change because there are people who make big data which is a kind of completely delusional fantasy which takes data which we don’t know the quality, which mixes everything, which mixes the treatments of which we do not know the dose that we have given. It is certain that if you take hydroxychloroquine, you can kill yourself with it, if you take too much (. ..) How do you want a messy study with big data to change what we saw here? “
“There is a drift in medical research journals”
“The question is rather whether there is a drift in medical research journals, which I believe is comparable to that which we have seen in the general media, in which reality, the real world, tangible reality, the things that we can see, is twisted in such a way that in the end, what is reported has nothing to do with observable reality. It is perhaps only Alzheimer who will erase what I saw with my eyes. “
So I suppose, since this is a dangerous drug, they will stop distributing it around the world for malaria treatment also. . . . /sarc
Nice try, but I don’t believe the HCQ detractors . . . their objections appear to be politically motivated, and to hell with the well-being of people.
