This drug has received fanfare for its treatment for lupus and is best known as an anti-malarial medication.

The mechanism of action of hydroxychloroquine in both diseases is the inhibition of intracellular processes that are pH-dependent. In patients with malaria, it prevents degradation of hemoglobin (the oxygen carrying component of blood), while for lupus patients it prevents T-cell activation.

Hydroxychloroquine also plays a role in inhibiting the movement of some types of white blood cells, and this inhibition can help decrease inflammation.

This combined with Azithromycin (Z-pack) have worked well. Vitamin C 1000 mg + can also make a big difference.

Follow the money.

Hydroxycholorquine costs about $20 for one month’s supply. It is a generic drug manufactured by several companies. It has been approved and in use since 1955 for malaria and other diseases. It is unlikely that drug companies will pay for clinical trials to test the efficacy of hydroxycholorquine in view of limited profit potential.

Remdesivir is a proprietary experimental drug developed by one major medical company, Gilead Science. It has not been approved for use at all, but is being clinically tested, apparently sponsored by Gilead Science. Estimated cost for one month’s supply is $1,000. There is a high profit potential if this drug is ultimately approved.

Is it any wonder that the drug industry is trying to slow the use of Hydroxycholoroquine to maintain a market for
Remdesivir after it finishes clinical trials?

The FDA has long had a symbiotic relationship with the drug industry, which some might view as incestuous, or worse. It is possible that the FDA is complicit in delaying use of hydroxychloroquine to allow a window of opportunity for the profit from Remdesivir.

Wouldn’t that be nice. Give Fox News a heads up so they can video it like the FBI did to CNN in the Roger Stone raid.

Their own “fact check” lie is refuted by the banner at the bottom of the page!

CNN has lost all contact with any hint of Journalistic competence
