Was Trump right about hydroxychloroquine all along? New study shows drug touted by former president can increase COVID survival rates by 200%
UK Daily Mail ^ | June 10 2021 | HARRIET ALEXANDER

A malaria drug which Donald Trump was condemned for hailing as a possible COVID-19 treatment can increase survival rates by up to 200 per cent, scientists say.

Scientists found that, when ventilated patients with a severe version of COVID were given high doses of hydroxychloroquine with zinc, their survival rates could increase dramatically.

Trump said in March 2020 he was taking it to prevent him catching the virus, rather than treat it. He did not become infected until October, and was not treated with the drug.

The goal was not to find an effective early treatment, but to get rid of Trump.

And our illustrious government still has it banned along with other cheap therapeutics. This alone must wake up those who have put their trust in the government. There is nothing more dangerous than a government that wants you dead.

Democrats would rather people die than give Trump credit. You cannot get that treatment in a Dem state.

No.

But because Orange Man still Bad.

Survival rate if you catch COVID is over 99%. So does a 200% increase change it to 299% or merely triple it to 297%?

OK, it looks like they are talking about the most severe cases where the patient is on a respirator, but still it's a very sloppy headline.

The deafening silence as to why the entire continent of Africa had so few COVID cases and deaths is just ridiculous.

So Cavuto is not making a political point. He is using his broadly watched platform to hand out medical advice which cause large number of people to needlessly die and Fox let him do it.

If survival rate is already over 98% (don’t remember actual number) how could anything increase it by 200%. Idiot reporter doesn’t understand math.

Being “right” doesn’t matter. Never did matter re Trump. Whatever it took to destroy the man was/is ok.

Today’s MSM is not your great great grandfather’s MSM. They (MSM) are becoming our version of the German media aka late 1930’s when the message was the “narrative” being pushed by evil to the core demagogues.

YES, of course!

The YUGEST mistake BY FAR of the Trump presidency was to go along with the vaxers over therapeutics.

His “gut” was right, but he was outnumbered and ambushed by Fow-Chi and The Scarf and everyone else.

NOT blaming him, but the buck stops with him.

Don’t watch him any longer, what did he say?

Yes. When I read posted articles about FOX, I think of him and become ill.
