I don’t think there is any way to evaluate HCQ efficacy by civilians. There are simply way too many moving parts in the calculus.
First; it is NEVER mentioned whether zinc was co-administered. Many HCQ “advocates” (for want of a better word) claim that the Zn is required. I have no opinion nor any way to know.
Second, I do not believe I have read ANY reports that HCQ with or without Zn is a CURE. It has always been reported AFAIK as a preventative, a prophylactic against CV-19.
Second (b) In some reports I believe I have read that HCQ is a palliative, a symptom-reducer. Again, I have no way to know.
Third, since Trump spoke favorably about HCQ we can never know how much Pavlovian anti-CV-19 is or was spontaneously generated thereby since the mode-o’day is to bash Trump by any means possible.
Fourth, there have been suggestions that there is huge financial interest in prescribing $3000-per-treatment Remdesovir (yes, that is the current proected price range and I speak regularly to a guy who works at GILD) versus 30 cents a dose HCQ. I have no way to know whether that is conspiracy theory but the 10,000:1 price differential is not a nothing.

WE NEED A LIST
Of all the politicians and ‘experts’ and Leftist Media Wankers who denounced this medicine (after Trump and others sought its use).
.
REMEMBER THESE APPARATCHIKS WHO GOT AMERICAN CITIZENS KILLED FOR THEIR SICK LEFTIST IDEOLOGY.
Add it to the list of their many crimes.

Spotted owl - political
Polar bears - political

Notebook paper - political
Rap music - political

An American politician is always on the lookout for an issue to jump in front of, a group they can lead and get free airtime on the news with (i.e. political advertising pretending to be news). And they are of course always on the side which makes them look good, even if it means they need to switch sides (Iraq war), go against their stated moral convictions (many openly Catholic Democrats on abortion)...
This is the sort of crap that truly defines the American politician: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parental_Advisory I was already older when this was a big deal, but I remember it well. It was idiotic even back then. All I thought even back then, is had you put a label like that on something, I would have wanted to listen to it, even if I don’t care for that genre of music just to hear what the big deal is about. Honest to God, I think that label became something which helped sales for some rap artists!!! LOL
I wonder, does Gore, while sitting in his mega mansion, riding around in his huge SUVs, and flying around in jets ever go back and watch himself foaming at the mouth, screaming about “Global Warming” and the impending apocalypse and feel even just slightly silly?
I’m waiting for an American politician to draft up a law against sun spots, solar flares, or magnetic polar drift. How about death. Can they pass a law against that? Or will an idiotic and ineffective mask save my life?
I wish they would all shut up, or at least choose their issues wisely. Sadly, the problem is largely the result of an ignorant public that cares about pop-culture trash while ignoring the real issues out there. So a Ted Cruz (whom I did not support in 2016 but has impressed me of late) gets practically no airtime while pushing for legislation regarding rare earth resources, which has a strategic impact on our nation. In the meantime every idiot governor doing “something” usually stupid just to show they did something passes rules for mandatory masks get the camera’s. Yes, issues like Floyd, a thug with a long rap sheet, on drugs, a pre-existing heart condition, and resisting arrest, he gets US Congressmen/women out front marching for something (not sure what they really want). https://www.cnn.com/videos/us/2020/06/08/mitt-romney-black-lives-matter-protest-washington-muntean-tsr-sot-vpx.cnn
I do not have much respect for most of these folks that have the title “honorable” before their name. Political ambulance chasers.
This nonsense got him a Billion dollars plus a Nobel prize, so I doubt he feels much guilt about it. Too busy counting the cash.
Sure he is a massive hypocrite but since he probably doesn't have any morals other than what advances himself, he doesn't care.
He lost to the worst Republican president in at least 100 years so at least he has to live with that.
does Zinc help with arthritis?
a synonym for surprising is unexpected, and a synonym for unexpected is drink, so drink!
I want to know if the politicians that used the power of their states medical boards to block these drugs can be held liable. We used to shoot, hang and electrocute murders.
“Ratface bastard” It works!
Thanks for posting!
The road block now seems to be that the FDA that says HCQ should not be administered outside of a hospital setting. HCQ proponents say it should be administered early, so you don’t have to go to the hospital! Catch-22.
If the FDA road block were removed, doctors would have a choice to make. At least some doctors would prescribe HCQ.
Which doctors? Those doctors who have a better understanding. Doctors who have a greater motivation, with patients, relatives, or themselves in the early stage of infection. Those doctors who live in states that are less hostile to HCQ.
More prescriptions and more successes could lead to exponential growth in the use of HCQ.
bttt
Spole to a liberal yesterday who is completelyagainst HCQ because of all the media negatives. The media are complicit in thousands of needless deaths, just as Cuomo is responsible for thousands of nursing home deaths with his command to send Covid patients into the nursing homes, to infect and kill residents. Saves the state a lot of money is his nmotivation. EVIL is sauntering across the globe.
