Dr. Anthony Fauci called a study by Henry Ford Health System on the effectiveness of using hydroxychloroquine to treat COVID-19 "flawed" during testimony in front of a House subcommittee on Friday afternoon.
The study, which has been touted by President Donald Trump and other Republicans, contradicts other studies that found the drug does not effectively treat COVID-19.
Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer from Missouri, a Republican from Missouri, asked Fauci about the study and said that a doctor told him if zinc is involved, the drug would work.
Fauci responded by breaking down the study, saying it was a non-controlled, retrospective cohort study that had "a number of issues."
Those include, according to Fauci, the fact that people who received hydroxychloroquine were also using corticosteroids.
"We know from another study (corticosteroids) gives benefit in reducing deaths with advanced disease," he said.
"That study is a flawed study, and I think anyone who examines it carefully is that it is not a randomized placebo-controlled trial.
Luetkemeyer interrupted Fauci, saying the study had been peer-reviewed.
“It doesn’t matter, you can peer-review something that’s a bad study," Fauci responded. "The fact is it is not a randomized placebo-controlled trial. The point that I think is important, because we all want to keep an open mind, any and all of the randomized placebo-controlled trials, which is the gold standard of determining if something is effective, none of them have shown any efficacy for hydroxychloroquine."

I posted a pic and links to his comments/recommendation, of HCQ, several days ago...that people had searched/found, from 2005.
Fauci is also an outstanding pitcher.
Zinc IS OTC.
Take Quercetin until HCQ is OTC.
“Study?...We don’t need no steenkin study”
“We have ‘models’”
Will the media ask her for the evidence, or immediately report other "studies" saying the opposite? Will they say she's nuts?
Tucker was right last night...”What a fraud this guy is”...
Dr. Faucxi is the product of 40+ years of GOVERNMENT Medical Research Politics...
With a highly GLIB tongue, he is very fluid in answering questions while hiding behind the language of clinical science...
OOOOOoooohhhhhh, Dr. Faucxi sounds so smart; HE must be telling us the truth...
The Fake MEDIA swoons...Idiots...
To a fully trained ear, this guy prevaricates with the grace of a highly polished POLITICIAN...
Dr. Fauxci is quite slippery, but yesterday Jim Jordan showed him to be a malevolent phony...
We need a “standardized, double-blind, controlled study”....that’s the “gold-standard” we need...Blah, Blah, Blah....
That may be his gold standard (for FDA drug approval), but retrospective studies/data are very common in Medical Research...
And HCQ is already approved and on the market for a number of diseases...
Doctors can prescribe it for anything, including Covid-19...unless government idiots put a stop to it, which has happened in this pandemic...
Someone should ask Fauxci his opinion of the impressive “anecdotal” data coming in from around the world of the anti-Covid drug cocktail (HCQ + Zinc Sulphate + the antibiotic Zithromax)...
Pin the munchkin bastard down until he renounces the cocktail...keep asking him about the 3-drug regimen or cocktai...and don’t let him get away with only addressing the efficacy of HCQ alone...
He’s a slippery little ELF...

“...Every statement he and his fellow government bureaucrats have made about COVID-19 has been based on infection counts and fatalities that are perfect examples of non-controlled, retrospective data.”
your other brother wrote:
“Somebody neds to ask him if he is going to hold off recommending a vaccine until they have all gone through large scale double blind testing.”
Y’all make excellent points!
In an emergency pandemic situation, you use what works, use it early, and save lives.
This Fauci character has shown that he is not interested in doing any of the above.
Fauxi knew hydroxyxhloroquine could both cure and prevent corona viruses in 2005. Passive aggressive on HCQ in 2020. Intentional?
-”Fauxi” praised use of hydroxychloroquine in 2013 to treat the MERS corona virus. Risky drug in 2020?

You are correct.
HCQ is known as a zinc ionophore. Meaning it brings the zinc directly into the system. Zinc reduces cell replication so the disease won’t spread in the body. Quercetin is also a zinc ionophore and available OTC.
The zinc is mostly the thing, not the HCQ.
“It doesn’t matter, you can peer-review something that’s a bad study,” Fauci responded.
I’ve been saying the same thing for years....
...about climate “science”.
The Fauch is an enemy of America.
So.....this test is flawed, but the knee-jerk development of a vaccine without rigorous review and testing os just fine.
I wish Our President would pull this midget off his pedestal and replace him with a competent person.
Sigh, of course the Orwellian Fascist did.
Yep.
As Dr Zev has explained it...HCQ/Quercetin is the gun and zinc is the bullet.
Fever Tree Tonic has Quinine. So does every other Tonic water.
If you need it stronger, you can buy Syrups.
Fever Tree is one of my long time faves. Excellent product.
I also make my own, with my quinine.
Btw, you would need THREE LITERS of tonic water, to obtain enough quinine for one “dose” worth.
“Btw, you would need THREE LITERS of tonic water, to obtain enough quinine for one “dose” worth.”
That’s a lot of gin.
What a fraud. Time to cancel Bayh-Dole, no more academics getting rich off patents we paid for, nor gov't desk jockeys.
Folks in gov't policy positions should not have financial interests in companies they affect. They should be financial eunuchs in that regard, real ones if they screw up.
