(CNN) A surprising new study found that the controversial antimalarial drug hydroxychloroquine helped patients better survive in the hospital.
A team at Henry Ford Health System in Southeast Michigan said Thursday its study of 2,541 hospitalized patients found that those given hydroxychloroquine were much less likely to die.

Ut Oh, a CNN reporter is going to disappear soon!!!
If you get HCQ along with Zinc and Z-pac immediately after diagnosis you are much more likely to have a positive outcome and recover faster. That is key. You don’t give Tamiflu to a flu patient who has had it for a week and is on their deathbed. Same here.
You didn’t find it on their main web page. You had to hunt under health and then look for it.
The money quote: “Our results do differ from some other studies,” Zervos told a news conference. “What we think was important in ours ... is that patients were treated early. For hydroxychloroquine to have a benefit, it needs to begin before the patients begin to suffer some of the severe immune reactions that patients can have with Covid,” he added.”
EARLY APPLICATION of the hydroxychloroquine regimens may result in the illness not reaching the stage of a cytokine storm
(a massive assault of the immune system that winds up causing inflammation in many body tissues)
that then requires heavy duty steroids to contain, which hydroxychloroquine will not.
It takes three leftist idiots to write a story that we knew about all along. Would that mean they each have an IQ of 33? Or is one potentially brighter than the other, perhaps having an IQ of 40 or so?

The only people that were surprised are all the dolts on the left, and the morons in the left wing msm who Hate Donald Trump- The rest of us are not surprised at all-
*UNEXPECTED*
This is true. Many of us are. So I have heard
if the CNN headline posted is correct, then it has been changed:
2 Jul: CNN: Study finds hydroxychloroquine may have boosted survival, but other researchers have doubts

changed at the link provided on FR as well, which is slightly different.
am only guessing, but maybe what’s been added to the update is the Rosenberg stuff below:
“Maybe there’s a little bit of a difference, but it’s not like patients in New York were being started on day seven. That’s not what happened,” said Eli Rosenberg, lead author of the New York study and an associate professor of epidemiology at the University at Albany School of Public Health.
Rosenberg also pointed out that the Detroit paper excluded 267 patients — nearly 10% of the study population — who had not yet been discharged from the hospital.
He said this might have skewed the results to make hydroxychloroquine look better than it really was. Those patients might have still been in the hospital because they were very sick, and if they died, excluding them from the study made hydroxychloroquine look like more of a lifesaver than it really was.
“There’s a little bit of loosey-goosiness here in all this,” he told CNN...
(ENDS WITH)
Peter Navarro, the White House trade adviser, said the study shows hydroxychloroquine works if given early enough.
“This is a big deal,” he told CNN. “This medicine can literally save tens of thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands of American lives and maybe millions of people worldwide.”
the CNN headline on this thread is correct. it was carried at the following:
