More leftist bullshite. If you guys really want information on Hydroxychoroquine use DuckDuckGo. Google has now become our new medical institution on the web. Hydroxychloroquine stops COVID in India slum written by Dean Smith 1 Vote Dharavi Slum, Mumbai, India Credit: YGLvoices/Wikipedia/Flickr/Creative Commons 2.0 In early July, doctors, in one the largest slums in India, credited the controversial malaria drug Hydroxychloroquine for helping stop a COVID outbreak dead in its tracks. Dharavi located in the city of Mumbai, which was the backdrop for the movie Slumdog Millionaires, is one of the most densely populated slums in India and when it became a COVID hotspot, India was bracing for the worst. But incredibly, doctors were able to stop the outbreak in its tracks. How did they do it? Life Site News explains: Media around the world, like the Los Angeles Times, have reported the success. Even the World Health Organization praised Dharavi. Reports credit the huge turnaround to various factors. Most focused on Dharavi’s use of widespread testing and contact tracing. But they ignored the policy most responsible. Indian doctors used hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) for prophylaxis (preventive) treatment — the same drug the American media have politicized. The article also noted that doctors used the malaria drug in combination with vitamin D and Zinc. READ: This Indian slum contained a possible COVID-19 disaster with hydroxychloroquine Unfortunately, Hydroxychloroquine, a commonly used cure for Malaria, has become highly politicized by the mainstream media and many doctors are hesitant to use the drug for the coronavirus. But more doctors are coming forward and confessing they have been using hydroxychloroquine on their COVID patients and say it’s proving to be an effective tool. Even officials as the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are now admitting it might be beneficial. https://opentheword.org/2020/08/03/hydroxychloroquine-stops-covid-in-india-slum/
Hydroxychloroquine Helps Poor Nations Overcome COVID-19 Aug 6, 2020 Controversy rages in the United States over the use of Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) for COVID-19. Critics — so many driven to fight HCQ because President Trump advocated for it —refuse to yield to evidence that it works. Yet that evidence is pouring in from around the world. There, it has been a vital tool for both prevention and treatment. It could be reducing case fatality rates. Including in my home country. HCQ Use in India The largest population to consume HCQ, and successfully reduce deaths and infection, is in India. After careful studies from the country’s top hospitals, the Indian government recommends HCQ for people at high risk of contracting COVID-19. Data from lab tests showed HCQ’s safety and its efficacy against SARS-CoV-2. Health care workers who took it showed reduced infection rates and mortality despite constant exposure to COVID-19 patients. Clinical trials on outpatients confirmed that, properly used, it is safe. The Poor Benefit Most As you might guess, since HCQ is very inexpensive, the biggest benefactors are the poor. Asia’s largest slum, Dharavi, is in Mumbai. It is home to about a million people. It made great progress against COVID-19. Officials credited the turnaround to HCQ and a combination of other drugs. Given HCQ’s widespread efficacy, the Indian government announced it will provide 42 million HCQ tablets to Indian states. Officials stated, “States have to use these HCQ tablets for the treatment of COVID-19 patients and as prophylaxis.” India also produces 70 percent of the global stockpile of HCQ. Since COVID-19 took off, the country has exported HCQ to many countries. The U.S. alone received 50 million tablets. HCQ Use Elsewhere in the Developing World Further, India is sending HCQ tablets as aid to 75 or more poor countries. Africa received $16 million worth of COVID-19 support from India, including HCQ tablets. Morocco used HCQ with high success. In light of that, a Moroccan scientist working in France claimed that “78% of Europe’s coronavirus-related deaths could have been avoided if European states had used HCQ.” Turkey, Indonesia, Ukraine, Greece, Malaysia, and Cuba are other countries where early HCQ use brought very low death rates. Why Not HCQ for America? Many American physicians knew of HCQ’s potential to fight COVID-19. In April, the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons suggested, “Hydroxychloroquine has about 90 percent chance of helping COVID-19 patients.” A study of 2500 patients at Henry Ford Health System in Detroit revealed that early HCQ use reduced deaths by half in COVID-19 positive cases. Its CEO acknowledged, “As doctors and scientists, we look to the data for insight. And the data here is clear that there was benefit to using the drug as a treatment for sick, hospitalized patients.” HCQ can prevent COVID-19 and help cure it when administered in early stages of the disease. Nonetheless, politics — not science — keeps Americans from fully benefiting from it. It’s time for a change. https://stream.org/hydroxychloroquine-helps-poor-nations-overcome-covid-19/ https://www.headlineoftheday.com/2020/08/06/hydroxychloroquine-helps-poor-nations-overcome-covid-19/
Still rather guarded. No, I like that guy's blog where he says it cures literally 100%. That's better news so I believe it more.
POSTED INCOVID-19, HEALTH, HUMANS, MEDIA Hydroxychloroquine: The Narrative that it Doesn’t Work is the Biggest Hoax in Recent Human History PUBLISHED DATE:AUGUST 5, 2020 LEAVE A COMMENTON HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE: THE NARRATIVE THAT IT DOESN’T WORK IS THE BIGGEST HOAX IN RECENT HUMAN HISTORY This was a post originally published at medium.com, however, it has been flagged for removal because it goes against the bias Coronavirus narrative that there is no Covid-19 cure. This article is too good to just disappear, so I hope that the author does not mind me publishing it here. Copyright: Filipe Rafaeli For those who are afflicted with the pandemic, afraid of dying, losing family or friends, I would like to inform you: I am the bearer of good news. “I do not know Trump or Bolsonaro”, said Didier Raoult, a professor of infectious diseases at the IHU-Marseille, on 24 June, the French National Assembly, when provided a testimonial for a special commission. There I saw that the teacher has already started to understand the hole that got involved and who were responsible for creating the first wave that fucked him. This wave, after all, placed him, by chance, as an important piece at the center of the chessboard of the most ferocious geopolitical dispute since the end of the Soviet Union. In addition to the denial of knowing Trump or Bolsonaro, which is quite fun, where Raoult tried to distance himself from these two demented leaders, the infectologist reported serious things: he suffered death threats soon after proposing the treatment of COVID-19 with hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin, two cheap and generic drugs. The doctor behind the threats was found. It’s from a university hospital in Nantes. Incidentally, he was the person who received the most money from Gilead, a large pharmaceutical company, in the past 6 years. Here I propose to put together, piece by piece, the puzzle of what I consider the biggest farce in modern history. I don’t worry about producing a short text. It will have analyzes, including new ones, and from different points of view. It involves science, healing, politics, geopolitics, mass and group psychology. With the scenario set, it is not difficult to predict good and bad things that will happen in the coming months and years. Throughout the text, the reader will understand the most important thing: the circumstance of how this false narrative was put together. The reader will also be prompted, by itself, to conclude whether the treatment proposed by Didier Raout works or not. And you will also understand how the majority of the North American scientific class, from Latin America and Europe, regions of the globe under strong influence from the USA, were directed to an incredibly gross error. In addition to the facts and figures, which are accompanied by external links, all I write are my own opinions, based on the facts, in first person, from my point of view, of how I see the world going completely insane in front of me. I am not afraid to sign my name when publishing it, even though I know that the almost unanimity of Brazilian scientists are against the application of these drugs and repeat that “there is no scientific evidence” of the functioning. And one thing I’m sure will attract attention. The fact that I have to give examples with incredibly basic logic, as if I were talking to children, to explain the facts. It is necessary. The farce has gone so far that I need many examples and analogies to bring reason back. Signed, I make it available to cover me, today or in the future, if my analyzes prove to be incorrect, after all, it is not a simple or light claim. In February there is carnival From China and Europe came reports of large numbers of dead people and entire cities blocked, with people in confinement, preventing the transmission of the coronavirus. On the top street of my house, in Atibaia, in the interior of São Paulo, 60 km from the state capital, the carnival took place. For four days, loud music came through my window. I didn’t go to the party, which I do every year. The word agglomeration already bothered me. It was the end of February, just before the WHO — World Health Organization, declared that we were in a global pandemic of apocalyptic proportions. I preferred to go ahead and follow the guidance of scientists before government decisions. I was the first in the city to join voluntary confinement. A few days later I still went to a bar. I thought the risk was low. In airy environments, the risk is less. It was the last time I went to one. It was an open bar, something normal in our tropical climate, where half the people are on the street and the other half inside the establishment. It was the farewell of a musician friend. Samba and jazz were in the repertoire. He was already hired to go to Australia, where he would board a tourist ship. It would be one of the attractions. He was excited. I didn’t want to discourage him, but it was strange that the company was still confident, until that day, that new trips would come out, even with the Diamond Princess case, off the coast of Japan. I no longer held hands to greet anyone. I ran away from close contacts, always stayed outside, and washed my hands constantly. They laughed and found it strange. Some called me paranoid. I soon made a bad prediction: that all bars would be empty and closed in a short space of time. I decided not to leave anymore. I didn’t want to be bothered by crowds. I didn’t want to be a joke either. Our state and municipal governments had not yet taken action against the virus. At home, it remained to read, to follow the news and scientific publications that began to appear frequently. I have a habit, healthy or not, of going deeper into research, and reading studies, when I’m interested in a subject. I don’t like to just wait and see, one or the other news, superficially, in the mass media. The craze for going to medical research sites to read papers came from a few years earlier. In 2016 I broke a bone in an accident. Practically three months lying, with little mobility, without drinking, and with an IPAD in my hand, I read all the studies on my recovery, to the point that, in a chat, shortly afterwards, with an orthopedist professor at an important medical school, he says he has never seen a patient know so much about his problem. “This one studied more than my students”, he joked with a friend. Piece 1: the hydroxychloroquine solution appears March 17, 2020 The study ran the internet. He had this impressive chart. People who took hydroxychloroquine with azithromycin, an antibiotic, made a spectacular and rapid recovery. Study graph. By the fifth day, the six patients who received the combination no longer had the virus. The news was so good that I went to find out where it came from. The differences between the other two arms, control and those who only took hydroxychloroquine, were great. They didn’t even wait to finish. On the sixth day they already released these preliminary data. More at: https://www.1-minute-reads.com/2020...-is-the-biggest-hoax-in-recent-human-history/
27% vs. 2.3% fatality rate at nursing homes. Laughable only to you weirdos. Piece 19: another success story, but the politicization of the medicine has increased April 10 Robin Armstrong, medical director of an asylum in Texas, USA, when finding that a large part of the inmates were contaminated with the coronavirus, prescribed hydroxychloroquine for his patients. In the title of the NPR story, which covered the case, the application was “disconcerting”. Robin said the drugs were safe. “Contrary to Armstrong’s claim that hydroxychloroquine has virtually no side effects, the drug is known to have serious negative health impacts”, the text warned. Now for a comparison: Washington (Kirkland) nursing home: no hydroxychloroquine, 35 deaths in 120 residents. Texas nursing home: hydroxychloroquine treatment, 1 death in 135 residents. Among patients and staff, Robin found 87 positive cases. Among the elderly, 38 were positive. One death is 2.6%. The average fatality rate among those infected in nursing homes in the USA is 27%. Politicizing the issue, they soon discovered that the doctor had ties to Trump’s Republican party. The low mortality rate did not please. On a website that aims to discuss ethics in medical research, they asked if Robin Armstrong was committing an abuse of human rights. In the main newspaper in Houston, the state capital, an editorial accused the doctor of crossing the ethical line. Doctors in Kikland did not cross the ethical line or abuse human rights. With 35 deaths, they were impeccable in good medicine. Robin Armstrong, reducing deaths by 90%, no. He did everything wrong. “This is really disconcerting” said medicinal chemist Katherine Seley-Radtke, of applying the drugs. US officials soon brought the matter to justice. They called for a ban on “medical experiments” with the elderly, to keep the death rate at 27%. And a coincidence: Seley-Radke, president-elect of the International Society for Antiviral Research, was once a consultant to Gilead. I also find it disconcerting. Piece 20: a study came out that I was eager to see, the case of Prevent Senior, in São Paulo April 18 A few days after the announcement of Didier Raoult’s study, Prevent Senior, a health insurance provider in São Paulo, announced that it already had the drugs and would apply the Marseille protocol to its patients. They also announced that they would produce a scientific article to disseminate the results. I was excited to know. It would be the ideal place to have confirmation. Unlike Zelenko, in New York, and Robin Armstrong in Texas, who could be lying out of political passion, without too many consequences, there would not be an anecdotal case, after all, with patients dying, they would have to sign the death certificates themselves. I had never heard of Prevent. I knew exactly during the pandemic, from the announcement of the treatment and from criticism from Mandetta, the Minister of Health at the time. At a certain point, at the beginning of COVID-19 in Brazil, Prevent Senior concentrated 60% of deaths in São Paulo, due to its health plan focusing on the elderly, over 60 years old, the main group of disease risk. And it is a giant company. They have a portfolio of 470 thousand customers. It is 25% of the elderly in São Paulo. They are the owners of several hospitals and had become a case in universities around the world for being able to make a health plan cheaper than conventional ones, precisely for the elderly. The secret, they say, is the use of technology, tele-attendance and speed for exams and medical procedures, not letting customers get serious, and costly, to start the treatments. One of the first reports from there said that the operator’s owners’ own mother had received the treatment, generating confidence and frightening the speech of fatal side effects. Before publishing, the doctors were already giving interviews, where they could not talk about the results, but the smile on their faces, and the spirits, were undeniable. When it came out, the study had this graph: The end result was how many of the patients needed to be admitted and how many did not. For patients who gave the drugs less than 7 days after the first symptoms, only 1.17% needed to be hospitalized. For those who were medicated after a week of symptoms 3.2%, and for those who did not want to receive treatment, 5.5% needed to be hospitalized. Very good proof of the effectiveness of the treatment. At the time, there was already mass collective hysteria about the fatal dangers of hydroxychloroquine, and part of the clients, fearful, did not accept the medication. They became a control group. They had an interesting method. As there were not many tests in Brazil, neither in the public nor in the private network, and due to the low reliability in relation to false negatives, which occur in 33% of the cases, according to the scientists, the diagnosis was made by clinical analysis. A good part due to lung exams and the other part only due to symptoms. Prudent, to avoid contamination of more people, many clinical examinations were by videoconference. Motorcycle courier services delivered medications to patients’ homes.
Seriously laughable.. Piece 32: the two most prestigious medical journals in the world publish fake studies against the medicine In the Lancet and the New England Journal of Medicine, fraudulent studies on hydroxychloroquine have been published. This led WHO to stop its research. All reported with worldwide repercussion. It motivated doctors and governments around the world to stop prescribing drugs, believing that they would have more risks than benefits. On the day of publication of the study on the Lancet, with 96 thousand patients, Didier Raoult, already contested on his twitter. “Incorporation of falsified data”, he exclaimed. Experienced, he saw inconsistencies right away. He got it right. For the first time, the inconsistencies of studies against treatment have come out in the mainstream media. The data was false. Patients and hospitals that did not exist. After a wide reaction from scientists from different places, the study was soon withdrawn.
Oh... this clown Armstrong again. By May 15th he was claiming only 3 patients died of COVID-19 under his care -- claiming he gave hydroxychloroquine to 38 residents of The Resort. The Resort claimed that 11 residents had died of COVID in the time period. Even after deaths and positive tests, Texas City doctor declares victory with Trump-touted drug https://www.houstonchronicle.com/ne...ing-home-doc-unproven-trump-drug-15270476.php "The Resort released a statement saying 11 residents who tested positive for the new coronavirus have died but did not specify how many were treated by Armstrong with hydroxychloroquine." By early June an additional 6 died who were treated by Armstrong. So in summary he lost at least 17 of the 38 people he treated (note the Texas Medical Board states 35 patients when warning him) And the nursing home is still infested with COVID. This case fatality rate of 44.7% is much greater than the average CFR among infected elderly people.
Bullshit. Leftist anti HQC propaganda. He believes HQC treatment is the best thing that can be giving to anyone infected especially at time of onset. Starts at 1:40 https://ktrh.iheart.com/featured/ji...xychloroquine-update-with-dr-robin-armstrong/
