COVID-19 Drama — A Timeline of HCQ vs Remdesivir

Update June 13, 2024 — “Journalist and former Fox News producer Breanna Morello, who left the network due to the unconstitutional vaccine mandate, brought this alarming development to light. “New York Attorney General Tish James threatened doctors that were writing out prescriptions for ivermectin to treat Covid patients. How do I know? I have the letter that was sent to a doctor. [Letitia James] needs to be dragged out in front of Congress,” Morello wrote on X.” https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/06/marxist-tyrant-ny-ag-letitia-james-now-targets/?utm_source=Email&utm_medium=the-gateway-pundit&utm_campaign=dailypm&utm_content=2024-06-14

2021, the NIH knew how effective Ivermectin was against COVID. They also knew Hydroxychloroquine as a treatment suppressed the deadly Cytokine Storm and reduced viral ‘shedding,’ i.e., stopped social transmission in the pandemic. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7534595/

This NIH Library page was taken down when the FDA issued its Emergency Use Authorization for mRNA ‘vaccines.’

Update September 17, 2022 — Doctor who was early proponent of Hydroxychloroquine condemns those who blocked its use . . . again. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2022/09/dr-harvey-risch-biggest-lie-last-29-months-covid-pandemic-hydroxychloroquine-hundreds-thousands-died-result-video/

Update December 30, 2021 — Japan’s Tokyo Medical Association urged doctors to prescribe Ivermectin. After all, the ‘miracle’ molecule was discovered in Japan. In about two months, the COVID mortality rate dropped to 1/day in a population 1/3rd that of the U.S. (U.S. mortality, 1400/day, 450X that of Japan).

Nebraska is about two months into Ivermectin approval, and is approaching cutting their mortality rate by 50%. Nebraska, population 2 million, is suffering 4 – 6 deaths per day.

Update October 14, 2021 — Nebraska AG approves out-patient ‘off label’ prescription of Hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin. https://www.palmerfoundation.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/20211014-NEBRASKA-HCQ-IVM.pdf

Update February, 2021 — NIH’s website contains many studies supporting HCQ Therapy. Hydroxychloroquine was lambasted by Fauci, and Pres. Trump ridiculed and shamed in the media for lacking ‘science’ in his support of HCQ Therapy. Meanwhile, Fauci and Azar (a former big pharm president and lobbyist) pushed for billions in vaccine research while shutting down our economy and society . . . while countries like India, which prescribe Hydroxychloroquine, have mortality rates for COVID 20X LESS than the United States and suffer no restrictions of their society and marketplaces. There are many studies buried in NIH records supporting HCQ, with or without Zinc and AZT. One observes a suppression of ‘viral shedding,’ meaning those infected, treated with HCQ, do not infect others. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7534595/

Update October 5, 2020 1700 COVID patients cured with Hydroxychloroquine. One hospitalization . . . ZERO mortalites . . . doctor claims 75%-80% of the 200,000 dead could have been saved if HCQ wasn’t banned in favor of an ‘unnecessary’ vaccine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PE3QfTnIazU

Update August 25, 2020 — Now, three states lift Hydroxychloroquine ban. Texas lifted the ban in May, Ohio in July, and now Minnesota in August. https://kstp.com/minnesota-news/walz-lifts-prescription-restrictions-for-hydroxychloroquine-august-18-2020/5831835/

Update August 23, 2020 — Senators challenge FDA. https://aapsonline.org/senators-demand-answers-on-hydroxychloroquine-from-the-fda/

Update August 20, 2020 — Second governor removes block on Hydroxychloroquine. https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2020/08/19/nolte-minnesotas-democrat-governor-quietly-rescinds-hydroxychloroquine-ban/?utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook&fbclid=IwAR2la1UsyEPPTfOLmF-u6gQ0PQAPHDyUFw3zXtbWf1em6wJIjEjWTLvPvGM

Update August 8, 2020 — Democratic New York City Councilman Paul Vallone credits hydroxychloroquine with saving his life as he fought against the lethal respiratory disease. Vallone, who represents Queens, told the New York Post that HCQ “basically saved me.” https://nypost.com/2020/08/08/nyc-councilman-credits-hydroxychloroquine-for-covid-19-recovery/

Update August 4, 2020 — The American Association of Physicians and Surgeons vs. Federal Food and Drug Administration, CV-002493, was filed in a federal district court to force the FDA to reverse their removal of Emergency Use Authorization (use requested by Pres. Trump) of Hydroxychloroquine.

On Friday, July 31, 2020, the AAPS filed a Motion to Expedite Hearing or Ruling to schedule a hearing with oral arguments for the Injunction against the FDA. Here is the Motion: https://aapsonline.org/judicial/aaps-v-fda-hcq-7-30-2020.pd

Here is an open letter from the doctors involved in the Henry Ford study of clinical treatment records, explaining how real world data is as valuable scientifically as clinical trials. Of course, there is a Real World Data source of Hydroxychloroquine use based on 1.3 billion people, and that is HCQ use in India that over six months has a mortality rate 20X less than the U.S. where HCQ use is banned. https://www.wxyz.com/news/coronavirus/henry-ford-docs-pen-open-letter-on-hydroxychloroquine-study?fbclid=IwAR3Ddt3MoQQwike7qX1-FYae8gT3Fq6w71X3ZL1FS8yq3UxCQ1gVeAukp6Q

Rep. Louie Gohmert of Texas taking Hydroxychloroquine https://www.webmd.com/lung/news/20200731/gohmert-to-take-hydroxychloroquine-for-coronavirus

* * *

The first cases of COVID-19 came from Wuhan, China in January, 2020. Dr. Didier Raoult, a renowned French microbiologist, began antiviral trials of Hydroxychloroquine in patients March 6, 2020 which concluded, “hydroxychloroquine is efficient in clearing viral nasopharyngeal carriage of SARS-CoV-2 in COVID-19 patients in only three to six days, in most patients.” https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0924857920300996

In the United States, primary physicians were prescribing Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) and recommended early use to stop spread of the virus (shedding) in days, at the most thirty-seven days.

March 21, 2020 — “Mr. Trump carelessly broadcast enthusiasm for the drug March 21, declaring that hydroxychloroquine and the antibiotic azithromycin “have a real chance to be one of the biggest game changers in the history of medicine.” He suggested they be put in use “immediately,” and the Food and Drug Administration authorized emergency use against covid-19.” http://tiny.cc/8twlsz

March 21, 2020 — State boards of pharmacy begin restrictions on hydroxychloroquine (HCQ). Here is a list of each state’s updated policy. One concern was hoarding of HCQ putting lupus and arthritis patients at risk, but the U.S. had stockpiled millions of doses, and the therapeutic dose is for only one week. http://tiny.cc/ntwlsz

March 30, 2020 — FDA approves off-label use (emergency use authorization) of Hydroxychloroquine. Out-Patient success of use reported by Doctors Didier Raoult (microbiologist/virologist) and Zelenko. Private physicians note rapid elimination of the virus in out-patient quarantine. http://tiny.cc/ttwlsz

March 31, 2020 — The American Spectator reports on the efficacy of HCQ and reprinted excerpts from Dr. Didier Rauolt’s report on his success with the drug, and the entire March 23, 2020 letter from Dr. Zelenko that informed President Trump of his ‘anecdotal’ success on hundreds of patients. https://spectator.org/the-20-solution-to-coronavirus-anecdotal-evidence-is-a-life-saver/

June 4, 2020 — The Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, a 501(c)(6) out of Phoenix, AZ, sues the FDA for restricting prescription of HCQ. http://tiny.cc/3uwlsz

June 15, 2020 — FDA revokes emergency off-label use of Hydroxychloroquine. https://www.fda.gov/media/138945/download

June 16, 2020 — New York Times reports on government in-fighting over millions of hydroxychloroquine tablets put into stockpile. But, contradicting the president’s trade advisor Peter Navarro, Secretary of Health and Human Services Alex Azar (an attorney and former president of Eli Lilly) revokes use of HCQ favoring a new drug, Remdesivir. (Remdesivir has been determined ineffective on the viral diseases it was designed for and has severe liver inflammation issues, but approved for emergency use for COVID-19. https://www.gilead.com/purpose/advancing-global-health/covid-19/about-remdesivir See also Wikipedia cited report.)
While HCQ was better known, has fewer side-effects, and costs about $20 a dose for out-patients, Remdesivir is untested and a therapeutic course costs $2,340/patient. Being intravenous, it requires expensive hospital care (an additional $13,000 from Medicare.)
“This is a Deep State blindside by bureaucrats who hate the administration they work for more than they’re concerned about saving American lives,” Peter Navarro, Mr. Trump’s trade adviser, who helped distribute 19 million hydroxychloroquine pills, fumed in an interview Monday night. Mr. Navarro insisted that the F.D.A. would have “blood on its hands” if any of those studies showed hydroxychloroquine was effective.
The article mentions Dr. Didier Raoult, a world-renowned virologist, and Dr. Zelenko, who have been reporting success prescribing hydroxychloroquine. http://tiny.cc/xuwlsz See also https://spectator.org/the-20-solution-to-coronavirus-anecdotal-evidence-is-a-life-saver/

July 6, 2020 — This is one of many press releases on the Henry Ford Health system of in-hospital clinical trials required by the FDA for use of hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin. Was Peter Navarro right after all? http://tiny.cc/ruwlsz

July 31,2020 — Dr. Fauci appeared before congress, and while he was a cheerleader for an effective vaccine by the end of the year (without guaranteeing safety due to rushed testing), he lambasted the Henry Ford Health System’s peer-reviewed study of over 2500 patients.

Fauci complained the study was flawed because patients received steroids and other treatment, which wasn’t true. The study only counted lower death rates in patients receiving only hydroxychloroquine. The study specified that, “13% of those treated with hydroxychloroquine alone died, compared to 26.4% not treated with the malaria drug.” [emphasis added]

Dr. Fauci complained that, “The Henry Ford Hospital study that was published was a non-controlled, retrospective cohort study that was confounded by a number of issues including the fact that many people who received hydroxychloroquine were also receiving cortical steroids, which we know from another study gives a clear benefit in reducing deaths with advanced disease. So that study is a flawed study.” Dr. Marcus Zervos, division head of Infectious Disease for the health system, who co-authored the study, said the findings were highly analyzed and peer-reviewed.

Conclusion:

The U.S. economy is still suffering from quarantine and now faces a second bill on bailouts and unemployment compensation. And, yet, Hydroxychloroquine is still denied to patients when clinical trials prove it can stop viral spread in mere days (See Dr. Zelenko 5-day treatment) and prevent hospitalization. Instead, billions have been allocated for Remdesivir and as yet unproven vaccines.

Afterthought:

I searched on-line for nations that approve Hydroxychloroquine for out-patient prescriptions. India permits primary physicians (does not limit to specialists) to prescribe HCQ for early treatment and its mortality rate is 0.002%. That is 20X better than 0.04% in the U.S. https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/map.html

However, the infection map shows greater transmission rates in high-population urban areas; and, India is only 30% urban compared to 80% in the United States. Adjusting to urban areas only, India still has a mortality rate 7X less than the U.S. The lawsuit filed against the FDA cites a 10X lower mortality rate for all nations approving HCQ.

With 1.3 billion people, compared to 330 million in the U.S., India provides a real-world clinical trial of substantial statistical value.

Question:

Why is a $20 dose of a proven drug, Hydroxychloroquine, still barred from efficacious early treatment in favor of BILLIONS of DOLLARS spent on an unproven antiviral (Remdevisir) and rushed, untested vaccines that won’t be available until, perhaps, too late! Too late for many, already.

Many of the links are from conservative or religious news sites, however this situation is also covered by Reuters, The American Spectator, and the New York Times. However, the media is supporting Dr. Fauci’s position and continuing to ridicule President Trump which is acerbating ad extending the COVID-19 Pandemic into a catastrophic impact on our economy and 2020 national elections.

Dr. Zelenko’s 100% success with early prescription to any patient with breathing issues and testing positive for the virus moved him to encourage the president to distribute HCQ nationwide to end the epidemic as soon as possible. Dr. Fauci and the FDA have blocked this.

July 31 https://www.mlive.com/public-interest/2020/07/dr-fauci-calls-michigan-hospitals-hydroxychloroquine-study-flawed.html

When the Pandemic first hit, I was reviewing medical articles on Hydroxychloroquine and doctors in France, Florida, and New York who were reporting positive effects from the improved zinc transport and suppression of viral shedding (makes an infected person less able to infect another).
When Pres. Trump suggested Hydroxycholorquine was effective, and Peter Navarro warehoused millions of doses, Fauci and Azar used subterfuge, blocking pharmacies and doctors from prescribing it; and, then leaking to the media ridicule Trump and use of the safe and inexpensive treatment. The so-called ‘vaccine’ rushed into emergency use WITHOUT’ human trials was almost a year away, but they criticized HCQ for not going through human trials.
Within a few months of the ‘outbreak,’ three states approved use of Hydroxychloroquine and, Senators acted to aid in approval of use, and hundreds of doctors sued to stop the acts of Fauci and the FDA blocking off-label use. If Hydroxycholorquine was used, as doctors intended, millions of lives and horrible suffering would have been avoided, and our economy saved.
Only a few months after Fauci/FDA forced Emergency Use Authorization for mass/mandatory vaccination, a Prof. Sucharit Bahkdi reported that the engineered ‘spike protein’ in the mRNA vaccine was harmful. And the story got worse because of negligent injections getting the vaccine into the bloodstream. This transported the harm to all the circulatory system and organs. The vaccine was dangerous, and was supposed to be intermuscular only. https://tv.gab.com/channel/…
This is what confirmed to me NOT to get vaccinated.
Now, as a simple citizen, I was able to determine the truth, and later find NIH studies confirming the multiple benefits of Ivermectin, its promotion of zinc transport, suppression of cytokine storm, and supporting natural production of Interferon . . .
Fauci and Azar undermined the medical industry through Obamacare controls over state medical care systems, threatening doctors who dared to care for their patients instead of following the government mandates.

5 responses to “COVID-19 Drama — A Timeline of HCQ vs Remdesivir”

  1. Having read this I believed it was really informative.
    I appreciate you finding the time and effort to put this content
    together. I once again find myself personally spending way too much time both reading and posting comments.
    But so what, it was still worthwhile!

    1. Here is more the ‘media’ is hiding.

      “Last month, AAPS filed a motion for a preliminary injunction to compel HHS and CDC to release more of the tens of millions of doses in the government’s possession to the public. The FDA has not officially cleared the drug for COVID-19 treatment (it has long been approved for malaria, autoimmune conditions, and arthritis), but has allowed it “to be distributed and prescribed by doctors to hospitalized teen and adult patients with COVID-19, as appropriate, when a clinical trial is not available or feasible.” (At the same time, the FDA warns not to use it outside of trials or hospitals.)
      This week, AAPS followed up by submitting to the court additional evidence of the drug’s safety and effectiveness.
      “As confirmed by another recent study of thousands of patients at the Henry Ford Health System in Michigan, HCQ is both very safe and highly effective in treating COVID-19, reducing mortality by 50 percent,” the group argued. “Countries with underdeveloped healthcare systems are using HCQ early and attaining far lower mortality than in the United States, where (HHS and the FDA) impede access to HCQ.”
      “The mortality rate from COVID-19 in countries that allow access to HCQ is only one-tenth the mortality rate in countries where there is interference with this medication, such as the United States,” AAPS general counsel Andrew Schlafly said, citing easier access to the drug in Philippines, Poland, Israel, Turkey, and even Venezuela.”
      https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/top-medical-org-demands-fda-make-hydroxychloroquine-more-widely-available

      Here is another, the journalist finding a 2005 article from the NIH and Dr. Fauchi, approving the use of Hydroxychloroquine. Where I come from, that is called ‘evidence.’

      “But Governor Andrew Cuomo banned the use of HCQ in the entire state of New York on March 6, the Democrat governors of Nevada and Michigan soon followed suit, and by March 28 the whole country was under incarceration-in-place fatwas.
      Nothing happened with regard to the use of HCQ in the U.S. until March 20, when President Trump put his foot down and insisted that the FDA consider authorizing HCQ for off-label use to treat SARS-CoV-2.
      On March 23, Dr. Vladimir Zelenko reported that he had treated around 500 coronavirus patients with HCQ and had seen an astonishing 100% success rate. That’s not the “anecdotal” evidence Dr. Fauci sneers at, but actual results with real patients in clinical settings.
      “Since last Thursday, my team has treated approximately 350 patients in Kiryas Joel and another 150 patients in other areas of New York with the above regimen. Of this group and the information provided to me by affiliated medical teams, we have had ZERO deaths, ZERO hospitalizations, and ZERO intubations. In addition, I have not heard of any negative side effects other than approximately 10% of patients with temporary nausea and diarrhea.”

      Said Dr. Zelenko:
      “If you scale this nationally, the economy will rebound much quicker. The country will open again. And let me tell you a very important point. This treatment costs about $20. That’s very important because you can scale that nationally. If every treatment costs $20,000, that’s not so good.”

  2. Excellent unmasking of the greatest fraud of all time…and it’s nefarious advantage takers. I’ve copied it to my own wordpress blog…although I’m ‘slightly’ late getting around to reading my back-up emails and hence it’s not a current as when written, but really, what has changed? Nothing?
