Medical anon here.
I disagree with this Anon's presentation.
yes, the chloroquine study in 2005 showed SARS-COV inhibition in vitro. This study was the basis of TREATMENT for SARS around that time and was the REASON that vaccine development was not pushed.
Since this SARS-COV2, there HAS been research that has this study as foundational for the hypothesis of HCQ or chloroquine as tx for THIS virus.
I have read EVERY study since JANUARY when this virus started. I've been following this outbreak since BEFORE POTUS closed the border to china flights.
The key that everyone is missing are the studies the demonstrate the Zinc ionophore action and zinc's role as a whole on blocking the replication of BOTH of the SARS-COV viruses.
Having adequate levels of zinc at baseline PREVENTS it.
HCQ and chloroquine (though increased side effects and toxicity with chloroquine) are Zinc IONOPHORES which makes sense that it would thus PREVENT COVID, as well as treat it successfully EARLY in the disease.
Vit D levels that are adequate ALSO help to prevent COVID infection.
Querecetin is a Zinc ionophore also, and many people takes this as a prevention along with zinc and vit D.
No one is talking about Sweet wormwood which has ALSO been shown to prevent and/or treat COVID in early stages.
So, NO, the original Anon poster and gateway pundit's article is ACCURATE. This was medically INTENTIONAL to HIDE treatment (even before Trump backed it).
Think about this: Fauci is NIAID of NIH. his specialty is AID/HIV, he is in DEEP with the pharm that makes AIDS drugs (as well as clinton foundation), OFCOURSE he has a financial incentive to push Remdesivir. They are STILL pushing remdesivir despite the clinical trials being CANCELLED due to adverse effects. The most that has been shown to be statistically significant is a decrease of illness duration from 15 days to 11 days.
This would also benefit the hospitals. If reimbursement is lump sum for Dx (called DRG- all states have this except Maryland who sets its own price controls in the socialist medical system we ALREADY HAVE). So if hospitals get $39000 for COVID case, and you can shorten the length of stay, just like in a restaurant, you can turn over the beds quicker make more money with more admits. Also with DRGs (a lump sum payment to a hospital for a specific diagnosis) if a hospital treats/discharges a patient in a cost effective manner and makes a profit they keep the profit, if they have a loss, they eat it. Illness length shortened = increased profit potential.
