As an epidemiologist, I believe that America has been profoundly ill-served by the contribution of its public health authorities to the debate on the efficacy of treating vulnerable COVID-19 patients with hydroxychloroquine (HCQ). It is a debate with a direct link to whether America’s schools should reopen next month. Even those who reject the World Health Organization’s misleading comparison of COVID-19 with the horrendous 1918 Spanish flu pandemic and its presumption that humans lack any immunity against SARS-CoV-2 would welcome improvements in our ability to treat patients with COVID-19, in order to reduce the risk in reopening schools.
Distinguished Yale epidemiologist Harvey Risch has written extensively on the meticulous research demonstrating the efficacy of the early administration of HCQ in combination with the antibiotic azithromycin and zinc. Conclusions from this research are based on criteria developed by British epidemiologist Sir Bradford Hill and Sir Richard Doll, two of the first scientists to discover the causal link between tobacco smoking and lung cancer, criteria that laid the foundations of modern epidemiology and that are used to this day to determine whether an observed association can be ascribed to causation.
Far from exploring this potential breakthrough in the treatment of COVID-19, the National Institutes of Health and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) were both dismissive, condemning early outpatient treatment with the HCQ triple therapy as ineffective and dangerous. Instead, these agencies state that the only permissible way to determine its efficacy and safety is with randomized clinical trials (RCTs). Virologist Steven Hatfill has described a circle of self-reinforcing media commentary based on flawed, fraudulent, and withdrawn studies and the FDA’s mistaken decision to withdraw its HCQ Emergency Use Authorization, costing thousands of American lives.
Demanding proof when time is short and when there is highly suggestive observational evidence has been condemned

Demanding proof when time is short and when there is highly suggestive observational evidence has been condemned by Drs. George Fareed, Michael Jacobs, and Donald Pompan in an open letter to Dr. Fauci.
They point out that the FDA has approved many drugs without RCTs—penicillin was so efficacious in treating pneumonia that there was no need for random Controlled Trials (RCTs). Moreover, RCTs are not designed to test the efficacy of a therapy in high-risk outpatient settings before a patient is notified of the results of a test for COVID-19.
It cannot be ethical for public health bodies to demand impossible standards of proof for potential lifesaving therapies.
To require an RCT for the HCQ triple therapy is indeed unethical; evidence supporting its use comes from large patient series, controlled trials, and even a natural experiment in the Brazilian state of Pará.
In assessing ongoing patient outcomes, keep in mind that observations might be affected should the SARS-CoV-2 virus lose virulence. Spanish authorities report that fatality rates have fallen, even among elderly patients, which would be consistent with reduced SARS-CoV-2 virulence. This, too, should be considered by public authorities in assessing the risks associated with reopening schools.
Yet rather than engage in proper debate, Dr. Fauci has resorted to name-calling. “The pushback has been furious,” Risch writes. Dr. Fauci “has implied that I am incompetent, notwithstanding my hundreds of highly regarded, methodologically relevant publications in peer-reviewed scientific literature.”
Dr. Fauci’s position calls to mind that of English statistician Ronald A. Fisher, who in the 1950s vehemently argued against Hill and Doll and their finding that smoking causes lung cancer, on very similar grounds to those used by Dr. Fauci to dispute the efficacy of HCQ—that observational data cannot prove causality. This is an extraordinary position for America’s leading health official to adopt; by the same logic, Dr. Fauci would deny the evidence that tobacco smoking kills.
If you took all the doctors who wrote such columns who would e more valuable on the task force than Fauci, and stacked them one atop the other they’d reach the top of the Sears Tower by now.
Simple solution to the pandemic,,,,Make HCQ and Azithromycin OTC drugs so anyone who develops a cough and/or fever can go the nearest drug store and self medicate with the drugs along with Zinc Sulfate with correct dosage within 48 hours of symptoms and pandemic over.,,,,,instead of waiting a few days to get tested and 5 days for the results,,,,if over 60 years of age,,,,you’re dead.
Fauci is a criminal. Arrest him. He has a huge conflict of interest and he has much blood on his hands.
I was wondering when I would see your very same post appear everytime we have a Hydroxychloroquine thread... and lo and behold, like clockwork, it’s here! :)
Fauci will now go after the author of this piece, just like he has done to countless others who disagree with him publicly and actually say so. He is a cancerous tumor in his position. It’s time to remove the tumor.
He’s another lurkinandloomin with his “Bush plan to turn USA into North Mexico”.
Their pasted text is almost bot like in nature.

Have you seen this one on PEPFAR? It’s 45 minutes but...wow!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RSfP8sXtMbk&list=PL1qEHolxtoZM65j4gsG9-L5ogZ2ea7rkq&index=6&t=0s
In a nutshell:
CDC/PEPFAR (Birx, Fauci, Pence) > Global Fund (Birx, Gates, vaccines, $10’s of billions from Fed>via PEPFAR) > UN Development Program (oversees GF spending with closed books via “special immunity”, gets $100’s of millions from Fed for administering) > GF grant recipients (a mystery).
Reckless disregard for human life!
If we applied the same standards used at the Nazi trials in Nuremberg, Fauci & Cuomo would be stretching ropes in some prison courtyard. Fauci for his constant negative comments re. LIFESAVING HCQ. It was as though he had some financial interest in other medications that cost a great deal more than a few bucks a dose. Oh wait...seems he does.
And Cuomo for killing thousands of elderly folks by sending them to retirement homes to clear hospital beds that were never needed.
There should at least be an honest investigation into both of them!
THE NUREMBERG CODE!

Bears repeating. He is also a shill for the Democrat party (lover of Hillary!) and has sabotaged PDJT at every opportunity.
Wow = massive research - thank you! bookmark
