More Evidence Emerges Showing Hydroxycholoquine is Effective Against Coronavirus
The controversial therapeutic drug Hydroxycholorquine (HCQ) is becoming the focal point once again. Vaccine efforts are still underway but more and more attention is being places on the anti-viral therapeutic. The President of Brazil, Jair Bolsonaro, tested positive for coronavirus and recovered quickly while taking the drug. He enthusiastically posted video of himself taking his dosage and later another video holding a packet overhead for a large cheering crowd.
Studies on the drugs effectiveness go back more than 50 years after the FDA first approved it in 1955. It’s derivative of chemicals discovered by Hans Andersag while he worked for Bayer in Germany. The family of drugs is effective against lupus, tumors, and various kinds of viral infections. The exact mechanism of the drug is not completely understood, but it’s presumed to somehow protect DNA by bonding with it.
After months of bashing hydroxychloroquine as untested, dangerous, and criticizing the President for taking it, much of the mainstream media has avoided talking about the drug lately. A new study released by the Henry Ford Foundation in Michigan shows the anti-viral drug can be quite helpful if taken during the early stages of a viral infection.

Study Details:
2,541 Patients Participated in the Study with an average hospital stay of 6 days.
26.4% crude mortality rate for those getting neither drug
22.4% crude mortality rate for those getting azithromycin alone
20.1% crude mortality rate for those getting hydroxychloroquine + azithromycin
18.1% crude mortality rate for the entire group
13.5% crude mortality rate for those getting hydroxychloroquine alone
The full study was published in the International Journal of Infections Diseases.
As the debate about returning the school turns into a full on fight, questions about what’s really going on with the virus numbers are beginning to get more serious. The public gave great leeway to experts’ warnings, accepting lockdown and mask precautions. Weeks turned into months and despite great effort, the experts kept pressing for more closures.
Various anecdotal reports of questionable reporting practices and genuine failures paint a broader picture of intentional inflation. Dozens of reports from Florida have come in as 100% positive. Colorado has revised numbers down, sometimes as much as 25% at a time. Other states have been caught reporting the same case multiple times.
Various Governors have also been called out on policies that placed positive cases into nursing homes. Mixing a dangerous viral disease with then country’s most sensitive population is insanity. Temporary hospitals sat empty while the policy exposed many elderly and caused thousands of unnecessary deaths.
