On March 19, we published a story about a trial study conducted by French researchers which showed a combination of Hydroxychloroquine (plaquenil) and Azithromycin to be effective in the treatment of COVID-19 patients. The study, which was led by renowned Didier Raoult M.D/Ph.D, et. al in France, showed that 100% of patients that received a combination of the two anti-malaria drugs tested negative and were virologically cured within 6 days of treatment. The first preliminary trial involved a total of 36 COVID-19 patients. However, U.S. health agencies like FDA and CDA, are still very cautious about the effectiveness and safety of the two drugs due to small trial size and lack of sufficient data.
Today, however, Prof. Didier Raoult and his team published results of their new study. The study was supported by the Institut Hospitalo-Universitaire (IHU) Méditerranée Infection. Unlike the previous small study trial, the new observation study has a larger sample size of 80 COVID-19 patients. The objective of the study was to find an effective treatment to cure COVID-19 patients and to decrease the virus carriage duration.
In 80 in-patients receiving a combination of hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin, the team found a clinical improvement in all but one 86 year-old patient who died, and one 74-year old patient still in intensive care unit. The team also found that, by administering hydroxychloroquine combined with azithromycin, they were able to observe an improvement in all cases, except in one patient who arrived with an advanced form, who was over the age of 86, and in whom the evolution was irreversible, according to a new paper published today in IHU Méditerranée Infection.

Don’t tell the governor of Nevada.
Gosh....how many times do we have to see this exact treatment/protocol used successfully, across the globe, and across the country, before it is being allowed/right to try, here?
What’s the hold up, FDA/Fauci?
‘Zactly.
The Nev. Governator needs to be recalled.
So it’s a go on aquarium cleaner?
Seems appropriate considering.
‘Rat officials are against Science?
Who’da thunk it?
I thought physicians had been given permission by the FDA to use this now. Can’t understand why they wouldn’t be.
Or Michigan.
Yeah, remember the slanders touting science concerning global warming?
Yeah, who’d a thunk it alright.
I knew there was another state out there, but couldn’t remember
which.
Thanks.
No kidding. It’s ridiculous it already cured 5 people he ran in the US at least. Let’s go for it people! Not yet
Time is a luxury we do not have.
All of the ‘Rat officials and the LSM need to be called out, Big Time, regarding using the “Science” argument on any number of issues.
This is really good news.
