Professor Didier Raoult Releases the Results of a New Hydroxychloroquine Treatment Study on 1061 Patients

The new study, of which the abstract was released today, was performed at IHU Méditerranée Infection, Marseille, France. A cohort of 1061 COVID-19 patients, treated for at least 3 days with the Hydroxychloroquine-Azithromycin (HCQ-AZ) combination and a follow-up of at least 9 days was investigated. Key findings are: No cardiac toxicity was observed. A good clinical outcome and virological cure was obtained in 973 patients within 10 days (91.7%).

A poor outcome was observed for 46 patients (4.3%); 10 were transferred to intensive care units, 5 patients died (0.47%) (74-95 years old) and 31 required 10 days of hospitalization or more. The authors conclude that: The HCQ-AZ combination, when started immediately after diagnosis, is a safe and efficient treatment for COVID-19, with a mortality rate of 0.5%, in elderly patients. It avoids worsening and clears virus persistence and contagiosity in most cases.”

Background In a recent survey, most physicians worldwide considered that hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) and azithromycin (AZ) are the two most effective drugs among available molecules against COVID-19. Nevertheless, to date, one preliminary clinical trial only has demonstrated its efficacy on the viral load. Additionally, a clinical study including 80 patients was published, and in vitro efficiency of this association was demonstrated.

Methods The study was performed at IHU Méditerranée Infection, Marseille, France. A cohort of 1061 COVID-19 patients, treated for at least 3 days with the HCQ-AZ combination and a follow-up of at least 9 days was investigated. Endpoints were death, worsening and viral shedding persistence.

Findings From March 3rd to April 9th, 2020, 59,655 specimens from 38,617 patients were tested for COVID-19 by PCR. Of the 3,165 positive patients placed in the care of our institute, 1061 previously unpublished patients met our inclusion criteria. Their mean age was 43.6 years old and 492 were male (46.4%). No cardiac toxicity was observed. A good clinical outcome and virological cure was obtained in 973 patients within 10 days (91.7%). Prolonged viral carriage at completion of treatment was observed in 47 patients (4.4%) and was associated to a higher viral load at diagnosis (p < 10-2) but viral culture was negative at day 10 and all but one were PCR-cleared at day 15. A poor outcome was observed for 46 patients (4.3%); 10 were transferred to intensive care units, 5 patients died (0.47%) (74-95 years old) and 31 required 10 days of hospitalization or more. Among this group, 25 patients are now cured and 16 are still hospitalized (98% of patients cured so far). Poor clinical outcome was significantly associated to older age (OR 1.11), initial higher severity (OR 10.05) and low hydroxychloroquine serum concentration. In addition, both poor clinical and virological outcomes were associated to the use of selective beta-blocking agents and angiotensin II receptor blockers (P<0.05). Mortality was significantly lower in patients who had received 3 days of HCQ-AZ than in patients treated with other regimens both at IHU and in all Marseille public hospitals (p< 10-2).

Interpretation The HCQ-AZ combination, when started immediately after diagnosis, is a safe and efficient treatment for COVID-19, with a mortality rate of 0.5%, in elderly patients. It avoids worsening and clears virus persistence and contagiosity in most cases.

Secret FISA

Bret Baier: Sources believe there is 'holdback' on Wuhan lab story because 'China’s control of some big elements'

Fox News anchor Bret Baier said his sources tell him the truth about the origins of the novel coronavirus outbreak will be revealed to the public by the fall. There is a delay, the veteran journalist told Fox News colleague Jesse Watters while discussing the story he helped break, because of China's place in the supply chain. "My sources are saying in six months time, all of this will be out in the open. There’s a lot of holdback to the story, they think, because of China’s control of some big elements like PPE [personal protective equipment] and other things we have seen that China is slowing up getting to the U.S.," he said in an interview that aired Saturday evening. His comments come at a time of a rising sense of urgency, particularly among Republicans, about China's grip on the supply chain, including in terms of medicines, hospital masks, and other medical supplies, and a push to urge companies to bring operations back to the U.S. or other Western countries.

Fox News reported last week the U.S. intelligence community is carrying out a full-scale investigation into the theory that the novel coronavirus first detected in China in late 2019 may have originated in a Wuhan government lab through an accidental escape or inadvertent infection. Intelligence officials said at this time they have ruled out the coronavirus being a genetically-engineered Chinese bioweapon, and it was more likely a natural strain studied at the Wuhan Institute of Virology before making its way into the Wuhan population.

Yuan Zhiming, vice director of the laboratory in Wuhan, denied the coronavirus leak theory on Saturday, telling a Chinese state television network: "There is no way this virus came from us." Top officials have publicly acknowledged the coronavirus origin theory is something the Trump administration is at least considering. President Trump told reporters on Friday that "a lot of strange things are happening" in terms of the origins of the novel coronavirus and said the U.S. is trying to determine whether it came from a laboratory. Fox News reported U.S. officials are certain the Chinese government went all-out in an effort to conceal the viral outbreak and cited sources who expressed confidence that the World Health Organization either played a role in a cover-up or looked the other way.

Hmm, so this is making me wonder what interests FOX has in China, since now it is the Disney owned network..

Clear your cache anon…

No Foreign…so thinking ..inside job??

>>8847375

Do you have CCleaner…? if so make a complete run with that..

>>8847387

Indeed, given the fact also he has been a never Trumper..Moar a Hillary supporter…but that in mind, it still doesn't change the fact that FOX is Disney owned now..so he gets effectively cart blanche..He and the FOX organization ..need to have a dig.

>Don't think. You'll obviously hurt yourself. I'll even just link the dumbed down version for you.

Frankly Anon, this kind of response is completely unnecessary. It implies that you are not capable of erring, we all make mistakes and asking a question makes someone stupid……Then YOU my fren have a lot to learn!
