As of Wednesday, some 165,000 people in the United States have died from COVID-19. I have made the case in the American Journal of Epidemiology and in Newsweek that people who have a medical need to be treated can be treated early and successfully with hydroxychloroquine, zinc, and antibiotics such as azithromycin or doxycycline. I have also argued that these drugs are safe and have made that case privately to the Food and Drug Administration.
The pushback has been furious. Dr. Anthony Fauci has implied that I am incompetent, notwithstanding my hundreds of highly regarded, methodologically relevant publications in peer-reviewed scientific literature. A group of my Yale colleagues has publicly intimated that I am a zealot who is perpetrating a dangerous hoax and conspiracy theory. I have been attacked in news articles by journalists who, ignorant of the full picture, have spun hit pieces from cherry-picked sources.
These personal attacks are a dangerous distraction from the real issue of hydroxychloroquine's effectiveness, which is solidly grounded in both substantial evidence and appropriate medical decision-making logic. Much of the evidence is presented in my articles.
To date, there are no studies whatsoever, published or in pre-print, that provide scientific evidence against the treatment approach for high-risk outpatients that I have described. None. Assertions to the contrary, whether by Fauci, the FDA, or anyone else, are without foundation. They constitute misleading and toxic disinformation.

If President Trump made HCQ over the counter this country would blow wide open. Nobody would follow the Mask Nazis anymore. Freedom would explode.
Wow. This guy makes the case and everyone should read this.
For people who continually tell us “we have to follow the data”, the bureaucrats sure have struggled to interpret the data from the outset of this thing.
Spot on!
Instead of singing “Losing My Religion”, I’m singing “I’m Losing My Faith in Dr. Fauci”.
Reading and listening to Fauci over time requires a couple of Dramamine pills for seasickness/dizziness and a barf bag.
His inconsistencies undermine his credibility yet he’s the media’s go-to guy on the coronavirus. This is like going to Rev. Jim Jones (Marxist fake minister) for directions on how to pray correctly and how to take “coolaid” in the proper killing doses.
bttt
Bump right now!
supposedly, EGCG is claimed to be 6 times more potent than
“If professor Ding is correct that clioquinol is 10 times as powerful as as hydroxychloroquine, and given that EGCG is only .6 times as powerful as clioquinol, that means that EGCG could be a lot more powerful than hydroxychloroquine. In other words, EGCG could be 6 times more powerful than hydroxychloroquine as a zinc ionophore (EGCG =.6 times as potent as clioquinol which is times 10 as powerful as hydroxychloroquine ... so .6 times 10 = 6).”

Make HCQ and Azithromycin along with Zinc OTC drugs so the patient can self medicate if desired. The meds must be taken over 5 day period and beginning within the first 48 hours of a Cough and/or Fever and Pandemic over. If you wait a few days to get a Covid test and 5 days for the results, you are dead.
A big thanks to the Dems Socialists, Deep Staters, and RINOs who lied to the public repeatedly, cried "Wolf!" and abused offices multiple times over decades - you've completely demolished public confidence as you traveled your sad little path to authoritarian planning to "fix" all world problems, big & small.
Please POTUS Trump, win again in November.
Fauci is responsible for thousands of needless deaths.And the Democrats share that. Even Trump is partly to blame in notpushing harder for use of the quinine/zpack by getting other doctors as part of the team. Pence,too.
Why did Fauci ,a government hack, became health dictator? Just as bad as the mentally ill Pennsylvania health director.
A true American hero, Dr. Zelenko fights to save American lives.
nitrous oxide is said to have some benefit, too

There are benefits from HCQ other than it being a zinc ionophore.
Chemically, quinine is a weak base that reduces the acidity in virus cell structures and destroys their ability to replicate.
But if all we can get in America ( unless you are a connected person) is substitute zinc ionophores, like green tea, and quercetin, better than nothing.
Dr. “Zev” must be presented with both The Presidential Medal of Freedom and the Congressional Gold Medal.
Include NAC. From:
Scientific Rationale for the Investigation of Bucillamine to Treat Infectious Diseases including Influenza or COVID-19
Snip... Thiols, particularly N-acetylcysteine (NAC), with antioxidant and reducing activity have been investigated as effective therapies that abrogate the potential for influenza to cause severe disease.3,4,5 Restoration of glutathione, the major intracellular thiol antioxidant, is a critical functional activity of NAC.6 Reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation during influenza virus infection aggravate destructive inflammation and programmed death of epithelial cells.7 Studies in human cells and animal models have shown that NAC works to prevent acute lung injury caused by influenza virus infection through inhibition of these ROS-mediated mechanisms.4,7 NAC has been investigated clinically and found to significantly attenuate clinical symptoms associated with influenza infection, especially in elderly at-risk patients.5 While NAC is easily taken up by cells and has low toxicity, clinical efficacy has required long-term and high-dose administration because of modest relative potency, limiting its clinical applicability.
Bucillamine (N-(mercapto-2-methylpropionyl)-l-cysteine), which has a well-known safety profile and is prescribed in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis in Japan and South Korea for over 30 years, is a cysteine derivative with 2 thiol groups that is 16-fold more potent than NAC as a thiol donor in vivo, giving it vastly superior function in restoring glutathione and therefore greater potential to prevent acute lung injury during influenza infection....Snip”
The only pandemic in this country is medical malpractice as practiced at the highest levels of the NIH, CDC, FDA, Big Pharma and elements of our medical community. I pray for some big lawsuits.
What the study concludes, in the summary, is that HCQ was not useful as a prophylaxis. In table 3 it shows that 8 controls died versus 5 on HCQ. 12 controls hospitalized versus 11 on HCQ. I don't understand the three sections in table 2. But table 2 shows better outcomes with HCQ in 2 out of 3 sections. Those suggest taking HCQ is beneficial.
