    I don't think it. I know it. He kept commenting on my posts without substance. If you want to read that, that is your choice.

    He put me on Ignore? Copycat. He has been following me like a dog (and his tits are not big enough to be a Pekelo groupie) in the last few months, so he might have withdrawal symptoms. :)

    Now Trump is promoting Chinese herbal medicine:

    Look, what has the cat dragged in?

    https://www.realclearpolitics.com/a...ses_course_on_hydroxychloroquine__143978.html

    Dem governor quietly reversed the ban on HCQ. What gives??? Maybe, just maybe Trump was accidentally right on it. I mean come on, when you are wrong 200 times in a row, you eventually have to be right on rare occasions.

    "“There are now 53 studies that show positive results of hydroxychloroquine in COVID infections,” Hatfill wrote in RealClearPolitics. “There are 14 global studies that show neutral or negative results -- and 10 of them were of patients in very late stages of COVID-19, where no antiviral drug can be expected to have much effect.”"

    Fun to watch how they bite on every bone thrown their way. They still don't get that Trump simply exploits their emotionally driven predictability. Rather primitive.

    Pekelo,

    I don't get it. At first you advocated HCQ alone and then when others gave you negative feedback about it along with studies...

    You counter via saying you're talking about HCQ in combo with other things (e.g. Zinc). In fact, I believe you posted a video about studies supporting HCQ in combo with other therapeutics.
    • It now seems you're back at advocating HCQ alone again (without other therapeutics)...right ?
    By the way, statistically about 70% of patients that do go to the hospital for medical care...they are either Covid-19 positive prior to hospitalization or discover in the hospital to be Covid-19 positive...

    They are in advance stages of the illnesses (e.g. pneumonia) caused by Covid-19. I believe its the reason why many health care people do not recommend its use because essentially its too late.

    In fact, in some states, patients in those advance stages of illness have family members "requesting" HCQ instead of traditional medicine / treatments (approved) that's known to treat patients that has illnesses like pneumonia.

    Not necessary, but I like to rub the fact in, that HCQ is back on the table. Also, most of the time the news sources leave out when it is used in a combination, so HCQ alone gets to be the hero or villain. Zinc is OTC, so the pharmacist wouldn't even know if you buy it, beside getting your HCQ prescription filled.

    My personal theory is, that HCQ alone could help a little (after all that is how they discovered its effect) depending on if the person is Zinc deficient or not. So if the recently infected person had a healthy level of Zinc in his body and you administer HCQ, then he will get better. If he was Zinc deficient, the help is minimal or non-existent. That is why we were getting different pictures from different countries when HCQ alone was investigated. Depending on race, age, nationality, geography, etc. different populations have differetn levels of Zinc.

    But again, this is my theory, although it does explain nicely the conundrum.

    Wow...good luck with that and hope your personal theory works out before they discover a vaccine or approve another therapeutic treatment for Covid-19.

    I've been hearing more news lately about discovery of vaccines by countries the U.S. has problems with...countries that gave the U.S. a large amount of PPE when the U.S. didn't have enough.

    Simply, I hope the U.S. develop a vaccine and hope the peer reviews / studies can all come together with a YES or NO for a treatment to be approved beyond the walls of silly arguments...tit for tat.

    Then again, just looking at what goes on here at ET explains a lot about the situation the U.S. has gotten itself into. There's just too much noise, personal theories on social media including here at ET.

    The good thing, that prominent doctor isn't speaking anymore about drinking Cow urine as a cure for Covid-19. :rolleyes:

    Will everyone stop with the Zinc nonsense?

    Back in February when on the first night I felt "funny", like a cold was coming on, I snorted the Zicam. I got COVID anyways. It is bollocks.
