Hydroxychloroquine, once touted by Trump, should not be used to prevent COVID-19, WHO experts say
CBS News ^ | March 2, 2021 | By Sophie Lewis

Hydroxychloroquine should not be used to prevent or treat COVID-19, the World Health Organization (WHO) advised this week. The anti-inflammatory drug was once touted by former President Donald Trump, who said he was taking the treatment to prevent contracting coronavirus last spring.

A panel of WHO experts found that the drug has no meaningful effect on deaths or hospitalizations due to coronavirus. They added that it may even increase the risk of adverse effects.

With high certainty, "the guideline development panel made a strong recommendation against the use of hydroxychloroquine for individuals who do not have covid-19," the panel wrote in the peer-reviewed medical journal The BMJ on Tuesday.

"The panel judged that almost all people would not consider this drug worthwhile."

The panel said that hydroxychloroquine is no longer considered a research priority and researchers should refocus their efforts on other promising preventive drugs. It added the more than 80 trials planning to enroll at least 100,000 participants to further research hydroxychloroquine are unlikely to uncover any benefits and should be canceled.

The drug, which is used to treat malaria, lupus and rheumatoid arthritis, gained prominence when Mr. Trump and other members of his administration promoted it heavily. The former president contracted the virus in October, and received an unauthorized monoclonal antibody treatment at Walter Reed Medical Center.

This, from the WHO, who told us COVID wasn’t communicable among humans.

WHO, his speech was two days ago. Slow. Trump can still make these people react whenever he wants to.

Molnupiravir is an experimental antiviral drug which is orally active and was developed for the treatment of influenza. It is a prodrug of the synthetic nucleoside derivative N4-hydroxycytidine, and exerts its antiviral action through introduction of copying errors during viral RNA replication. Activity has also been demonstrated against coronaviruses including SARS, MERS and SARS-CoV-2.

Monoclonal antibodies

US approves Regeneron antibody treatment given to Trump

What is the antibody cocktail Trump received? (< - that is a sub-header/sub-title in the article:)
https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2020/10/heres-what-known-about-president-donald-trump-s-covid-19-treatment

A portion of that article:

[”The antibody cocktail”] is a combination of two antibodies directed against a key protein of the virus that causes COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2. They bind to a region on the main surface spike protein that helps the virus attach to a receptor on human cells called angiotensin-converting enzyme. The targeted region is dubbed the receptor binding domain.

The people who work for WHO are evil and don’t have our interests in mind. I equate them to the UN. Enough said about globalist operations.

This isn’t TDS. This is effecrive murder to keep the “pandemic” going.

Where are their simple recommendations such as vitamin D (most especially for darkwr-skinned folks in northern climates), vitamin C, zinc, etc.? If it were really a danger they cared about rather than forcing endless nefarious and grotesquely profitable vaccines on the unwashed billions hereafter, those simple steps would habe ben advanced a year ago.

Great, let’s make it a FELONY to Dispense HCQ to ANY Public Employee or Public Servant Nationwide then.

This tells you all you need to know about the WHO. Hydroxy has been the main therapeutic used in India, a country with over 1 Billion population. Their death rate is minuscule and their new case rate is down to 10,000 per day. They have used 290 million tablets to treat over 29 million patients. Ergo, a huge mountain of readily available evidence indicates the effectiveness of hydroxy. Yet the WHO is still trying to prevent its use. Ask yourself why?

Hydroxychloroquine is not a cure, nor a medication that halts COVID-19, nor *literally* “prevents death.”

BUT . . .

Hydroxychloroquine DOES significantly frustrate SARS-2-CoV reproduction.

Mobeen Syed, MD’s mechanism explanations, will illustrate, for example, how Hydroxychloroquine thwarts the ability of SARS-2-CoV to connect with the ACE2 receptor of a human cell.

In addition, Hydroxychloroquine frustrates the ability of SARS-2-CoV to use the mRNA within that cell, for purposes of reproducing SARS-2-CoV.
