| Study finds 84% fewer hospitalizations for patients treated with controversial drug hydroxychloroquine |
| 2020-11-26 |
| [WashingtonExaminer] A peer-reviewed study measuring the effectiveness of a controversial drug cocktail that includes hydroxychloroquine concluded that the treatment lowered hospitalizations and mortality rates of coronavirus patients. Cavuto: "DON'T take HCQ!!11! You will DIE!" The study, set to be published in the International Journal of Antimicrobial Agents in December, determined that "Low-dose hydroxychloroquine combined with zinc and azithromycin was an effective therapeutic approach against COVID-19." A total of 141 patients diagnosed with the coronavirus were treated with the three-drug cocktail over a period of five days and compared to a control group of 377 people who tested positive for the virus but were not given the treatment. The study found that "the odds of hospitalization of treated patients was 84% less than in the untreated patients," and only one patient died from the group being treated with the drugs compared to 13 deaths in the untreated group. Some enterprising lawyers should initiate multi trillion dollar class action lawsuits against Google, Twitter and the networks for actively suppressing HCQ effectiveness for political reasons. From the numbers above, nearly 80% of the deaths and 84% of hospitalizations could have been prevented w/ HCQ treatment. That's 200,000 Americans sacrificed by the left to denigrate President Trump. Spit! |

| #14 The first French study came out in March, with similar results, and Trump said it looked promising. The rest is history. |

| #11 HCQ mechanism of action? Suppresses inflammatory response and the subsequent fatal cytokine storm by blocking TNF alpha and IFN gamma and the JAK/STEM pathway. Read the research. The talking heads LIED and people died. It needs to be given BEFORE the cytokine storm inflammation begins which is why all that bullshit “research” failed, they only gave it AFTER it was too late. |

| #10 I was watching Fox News during Cavuto's show and after Trump noted the apparent efficacy of HCQ. Cavuto went nuts. Haven't any respect for Cavuto since |

| #9 I can't find the source for calling HCQ dangerous. Will someone point me in the right direction? |

| #8 If President Trump praised vitamin D, all the Democrat and RINO governors would be issuing stay-indoors orders. |

| #7 Cavuto: "DON'T take HCQ!!11! You will DIE!" I'm glad I don't get Fox on TV. They aren't worth the time and certainly not the frustration. |

| #4 Sounds like the Oxford Covid "vaccine" effectiveness "study", you know the one where they reduced the dosage and got more effect... A bit like homeopathy. Of course the people in the (accidental!) low dose group were also much younger... Yep, so not rushed, so safe... |

| #3 can't find actual study but, in the past, almost all the studies (both pro HCQ and anti HCQ) have had major flaws e.g. not randomizing by age, symptom severity, etc. also, this study is not as large as many of the other studies hope the peer review took care of those issues in this study |

| #2 Which doctors around the world have been saying all along. BTW, did that Michigan Congresswoman who was treated with HCQ win reelection? |
