Coronavirus science roundup: hydroxychloroquine >90% chance to cure patients, Pfizer clinical testing vaccine

Doctors report hydroxychloroquine has over 90% chance to cure coronavirus patients

[OANN] According to doctors with the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, over 90 percent of patients treated with hydroxychloroquine successfully recover from the coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague)
...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men...


Pfizer begins human testing for experimental coronavirus vaccine in the US
[NBC] Pfizer said Tuesday it has begun testing an experimental vaccine to combat the coronavirus in the United States.

The U.S.-based pharmaceutical giant, which is working alongside German drugmaker BioNTech, said the first human participants in the United States have been dosed with the potential vaccine, BNT162. They began human trials of the experimental vaccine late last month in Germany.

"With our unique and robust clinical study program underway, starting in Europe and now the U.S., we look forward to advancing quickly and collaboratively with our partners at BioNTech and regulatory authorities to bring a safe and efficacious vaccine to the patients who need it most," Pfizer Chairman and CEO Albert Bourla said in a statement.

"The short, less than four-month time frame in which we’ve been able to move from preclinical studies to human testing, is extraordinary," he added.

The experimental vaccine contains genetic material called messenger RNA, or mRNA. The mRNA is a genetic code that tells cells what to build — in this case, an antigen that may induce an immune response for the virus.

#7  #6 We don't know exactly that it does. But, some antibiotics cure bacterial infections before immune memory can be formed. Well, with all the organizations working on a vaccine, that's not a problem. I wonder if some Chinese researchers are working like crazy right now - trying to figure what makes CV19 vulnerable to HCQ and engineer it out.

#6  RE: #1 But g(r)om, HQC doesn't cure the virus (despite the headline). It treats the inflammation that damages the lungs, allowing the patient to survive until until he/she/preference overcomes the virus. When they recover, they'd have COVID antibodies, no?

#5  Someone tell the VA. Waiting to apply it after everything else has failed isn't the protocol.

#4  Don't forget the vitamin-packed olive, PB.

A no-brainer about Big Pharma. Anecdotal, my zhopa. MSM gets ad revenue from the pharmaceutical-industrial complex, so the MSM has its orders.

Much of this COVID-19 house of cards comes crashing down with a cheap and effective HCQ (remember the wacko guv-nah in Michigan wanted to yank medical licenses (in the middle of a pandemic) of doctors for prescribing HCQ).

Whats the %age of those not treated with hydroxychloroquine ?

I'm staying safe and consuming Quinine (in tonic form) with an throat cleaning product (gin) and a viral replication suppressor (ice).

#2  Is Big Pharma behind the great war on hydroxychloroquine?
