The study lead Jean Michel Molina, is a big AIDS research guy, and his studies are backed by the World Health Organization.

So if you trust the WHO, then...

I’m gonna guess it was given only too late in the “ineffective” study—and or athe Big Pharma big cost alternative managed to get some influence here.

HCQ does not clear the virus. HCQ does minimize the cytokine storm that does kill you.

Yahoo wants you dead, something like the virus.

8 of 11 subjects had serious comorbidities. 2 obese, five with cancer, one with AIDS.

They seem to have been in very serious condition at the start of the drug regimen. One died. 2 of ten did become virus free after five-six days.

India is giving it to ALL first responders and medical personnel who might be exposed to the virus, as a preventative. In fact, it is a decree they are now following.

Why can’t I take it, with a docs approval, as a preventative?

Use the Defense Procurement Act to have ALL US drug mfgs who are able to make it, make it 24/7.

Allowing a poster to edit a post probably shouldn’t be done. When someone responds to the incorrect post, they are hung out to dry if the original poster comes back and changes the original.

Suppose you guys take the time to actually READ the Preview frame?!! That is what it is for.

Yeah, I read it. Small sample size, gave it to worst patients. And the usual “it will lead to shortages” bs.

“HCQ does not clear the virus. HCQ does minimize the cytokine storm that does kill you.”

Reference?

2 of 10 in this study were cleared of virus.

In the earlier study 6 of 6 were cleared of virus with the combination.

There is not a thing stopping you. Call your doctor and ask for a prescription. If you really feel you need it and he won’t call another one. People have been telling you folks this for days. If you can’t get it, it ain’t the fault of any doctor or pharmacist, it’s likely because it was all bought up by people who fell for the hype. And the way this was rolled out smells to high heaven.

I spend some time on the London Telegraph’s website on the typical day.Their site allows you to edit your posts for about 5 minutes.Perhaps that’s a reasonable answer...with everyone aware that a post they’re responding to might include an error...maybe even a big one.

Ok the first red flag was Yahoo ‘News’. Yeah sure.

But the confirming telltale sign was in the quote above.

This guy is a bullsh*t artist and I can prove it.

Remember this and remember this clearly

The entire government medical complex is all about one thing and one thing only- the vaccine industry

They want more and more people to die from this bug or any other bug ; and have it be as scary as possible

and of course with this event they really ramped it up

And then they’ll beat the drums for everybody to line up at their Walmart and get their hundred dollar vaccine shot which won’t work in many cases will hurt the person that’s receiving it or give them the disease

Everybody’s probably forgotten but do you remember the measles nonsense last year?

Do you remember how liberal governments in New York and California passed legislation to take away all exemptions to force everybody to have the measles vaccine which was completely unnecessary?

Unfortunately for us everybody in the media including conservative commentators have completely bought into this line of the vaccine people being heroes

“Perhaps, but never the less my opinion is based on more experience... “

>“It’s really remarkable. Americans demanding the government give them a drug on the basis of reports from China. “

This is a baldface lie. It isnt based on some “experience” you supposedly have. Just a dumb comment you didnt try to think before you posted, and it is a gross insult.

“because you are another “no about page”. “

“I am a 2nd Amendment supporter, “born again” Christian, freeper from “The March For Justice” “

WOW! What an epic worth of Homer you have on yours.

Oh I’m sorry if in 15 years I dont have a “bio” for you to blow time on. Like the hell is that supposed to even make a lick of difference one way or another.

Frigging Loony toon.

I just a few moments ago received the following via email from a friend in Virginia:

INFORMATIVE:
The following is from a Prof in infectious diseases at Johns Hopkins University, quite informative.
* The virus is... not a living organism, but a protein molecule (DNA) covered by a protective layer of lipid (fat), which, when absorbed by the cells of the ocular, nasal or buccal mucosa, changes their genetic code. (mutation) and convert them into aggressor and multiplier cells.

* Since the virus is not a living organism but a protein molecule, it is not killed, but decays on its own. The disintegration time depends on the temperature, humidity and type of material where it lies.

* The virus is very fragile; the only thing that protects it is a thin outer layer of fat. That is why any soap or detergent is the best remedy, because the foam CUTS the FAT (that is why you have to rub so much: for 20 seconds or more, to make a lot of foam).

By dissolving the fat layer, the protein molecule disperses and breaks down on its own.

* HEAT melts fat; this is why it is so good to use water above 77 degrees Fahrenheit for washing hands, clothes and everything. In addition, hot water makes more foam and that makes it even more useful.

* Alcohol or any mixture with alcohol over 65% DISSOLVES ANY FAT, especially the external lipid layer of the virus.

* Any mix with 1 part bleach and 5 parts water directly dissolves the protein, breaks it down from the inside.

* Oxygenated water helps long after soap, alcohol and chlorine, because peroxide dissolves the virus protein, but you have to use it pure and it hurts your skin.

* NO BACTERICIDE OR ANTIBIOTIC SERVES. The virus is not a living organism like bacteria; antibodies cannot kill what is not alive.

* NEVER shake used or unused clothing, sheets or cloth. While it is glued to a porous surface, it is very inert and disintegrates only
-between 3 hours (fabric and porous),
-4 hours (copper and wood)
-24 hours (cardboard),
- 42 hours (metal) and
-72 hours (plastic).

But if you shake it or use a feather duster, the virus molecules float in the air for up to 3 hours, and can lodge in your nose.

* The virus molecules remain very stable in external cold, or artificial as air conditioners in houses and cars.

They also need moisture to stay stable, and especially darkness. Therefore, dehumidified, dry, warm and bright environments will degrade it faster.

* UV LIGHT on any object that may contain it breaks down the virus protein. For example, to disinfect and reuse a mask is perfect. Be careful, it also breaks down collagen (which is protein) in the skin.

* The virus CANNOT go through healthy skin.

* Vinegar is NOT useful because it does not break down the protective layer of fat.

* NO SPIRITS, NOR VODKA, serve. The strongest vodka is 40% alcohol, and you need 65%.
* LISTERINE IF IT SERVES! It is 65% alcohol.

* The more confined the space, the more concentration of the virus there can be. The more open or naturally ventilated, the less.

* You have to wash your hands before and after touching mucosa, food, locks, knobs, switches, remote control, cell phone, watches, computers, desks, TV, etc. And when using the bathroom.

* You have to Moisturize dry hands from so much washing them, because the molecules can hide in the micro cracks. The thicker the moisturizer, the better.

* Also keep your NAILS SHORT so that the virus does not hide there.

I struck the name of the Professor, and her daughter at Johns Hopkins noted at the beginning of the article due my own uncertainty of transmitting their names over the internet.

From this 11 patient study:

“There were 7 men and 4 women with a mean age of 58.7 years (range: 20-77), 8 had significant
comorbidities associated with poor outcomes (obesity: 2; solid cancer: 3; hematological
cancer: 2; HIV-infection: 1)”

I want to see the study because it’s my understanding that these drugs don’t fight the virus directly but lessen the immune response of the body which is what causes the pneumonia that least to ARDS which leads to poor ocygenization, which is what leads to death.

Because it’s the hyper immune response in some patients, not the virus itself that leads to ARDS.. now I am very much a layman on this, but I haven’t seen any published statements by anyone claiming these drugs kill the virus.. but Keep the body from over reacting to it so that the patient doesn’t go into ARDS and the persons immune system clears the virus on its own.

I happily yield to folks more knowledgeable than me.. but is this study claiming no better outcomes for patients given these drugs or just claiming it doesn’t kill the virus?

Much of this debate in our media appears to be centered on semantics.

Having read a fair amount of stuff and listened to some doctors with good reputations we must all start at one point.

HCQ is NOT a cure. There is no “cure” and there likely won’t be until we either develop a vaccine for those without anti-bodies or “herd immunity.” We have never “cured” a virus to my knowledge.

HCQ appears to be a promising treatment for coronavirus that can (and has) reduce the mortality rate as it dampens the viral “bloom” that is creating pneumonia in severely ill patients resulting in their intubation and subsequent death from pneumonia. It can help you recover faster and lessen the chance your lungs get overwhelmed and you end up on a ventilator with a higher likelihood of death.

If it is an effective treatment (and it appears to be) that can prevent this viral bloom or mitigate the impact of the viral bloom on the body (primarily the lungs) and help people recover faster it will be an important step in mitigating this pandemic.

At this point, if I am diagnosed as positive and become ill I would certainly ask for it based on what I have read and heard with the understanding that there are no certainties it will work. It appears to be far more effective if administered early in the infection as it can lessen the severity of the illness by slowing the replication of the virus. This is how it is described as an anti-malarial. It does not “prevent” you from contracting malaria - it lessens the severity of the illness.

Feel free to bash this as it is only my semi-educated understanding of it.

Already did.

Trump needs to use the Defense Procurement Act to demand 24/7 production NOW! The world will catch on soon, and one state will go for it, to allow everyone back to work.

Someone gave Trump really and advice. Seems a few here, too.
