The FDA and the CDC - like almost any three-letter acronym in the USA - seem to be notably susceptible to political pressures.

@mbd6054 Here we are. It was in May actually. https://academic.oup.com/aje/article/… Peer reviewed study https://www.newsweek.com/key-defeatin… Newsweek article on above

@mhskou The Zoe guys know which side their bread is buttered on.

There is even the horrible possibility that Big Pharma actually commissions poorly conducted studies into cheap alternatives to its products. In this way they can later be exposed to criticism, and thus undermine the credibility of genuine research.

This link is no longer available - a common occurrence when seeking hydroxychloroquine information on the Internet. A peer-reviewed John Hopkins study published in May has also recently been removed. This does tend to add somewhat to the tinfoil hat paranoia I am starting to experience. Odd though that your study is one that found no benefits. As Dr Campbell says: "What's going on here?"

Jimmy Dore, who featured Dr Campbell recently, has just issued a startling video about a paper which seems to have been swept under the carpet. All access seems to be blocked on YouTube but I hope that the points it raises can be addressed very soon.

I've just come across this. Can anyone comment on its veracity? https://c19study.com/

They wiped out the Frontline Doctors in hours, Dr Campbell should be safe though. Youtube will only censor stuff that is understandable to the masses.

@lizeggar2421 I think so too - but it's hard getting figures on actual use. There's definitely a correlation of SOME sort though.

marvigli19 It IS a serious problem around the Mekong River though. And although malaria is spread by a parasite the same means of cellular resistance seem to be at work ie strong, healthy cells preventing replication. The case for hydroxychloroquine as a prophylactic and viral replication inhibitor for Covid 19 does seem very strong and even if not in use the low death rates in countries bordering the Mekong need explanation as they do in Nigeria, Uganda etc etc.

@H P Nice one! Except elephants are quite rare in low-lying swampy areas where malaria abounds. On the other hand building resistance to an infection which hydroxychloroquine helps prevent might indicate that when another infection is rare in the same area, there could be a connection, doncha think? In both malaria and Covid death results from the body's violent reaction to the rapid replication of an invader. If that replication is slowed down sufficiently then the body reacts less feverishly with less chance of a fatal result. I still like your elephant dung idea though.

@mjwilliamsb2676 Thank you. The only reservation I have is that, in terms of competition, any variant which already exists and which already has a more efficient and faster-acting system of transmission might well become more successful in a situation where the number of available hosts is reduced compared to previously. The fact that it actually exists might outweigh the fact that reducing the number of people infected will prevent the arrival of future variants in terms of overall impact. If for example there had been no form of restriction would it not be true that these inevitable variations would either have occurred long ago or would not have occurred at all since earlier forms would have infected all those liable to be infected? I cannot in my own mind determine whether or not this latter course of action would have resulted in more or less fatalities and serious hospitalisations. I suppose it must depend on how many potential subjects of serious outcomes are available. Sorry to burble on. I'm just thinking out loud really!

@mjwilliamsb2676 Thanks again. I fully realise that the virus has no evil intent and that in fact the less damage it does to hosts the more it can reproduce. I think I'm right in saying that while viruses do generally mutate into less virulent forms there have been some influenzas which have turned out more deadly second or third time around. Fingers crossed!

@Abracadabra1111 Its also used for arthritis and lupus among other things. It works by immediately turning cells into hostile environments, so that invading organisms cannot reproduce. The only reason a coronavirus gets into your cells is to utilise that cell's resources to reproduce, which it cannot do on its own. Hydroxychloroquine, especially if used in conjunction with a strengthening agent such as zinc, ramps up the cells' defences so the viral RNA cannot reproduce. Hows that for a bit of mansplaining?
1
@Abracadabra1111 And yet many people clearly do. People with arthritis or lupus one imagines.

@Doing_Time Vote Trump 2020? It's a big step but you should take it.

@Doing_Time So pleased to hear it. By any objective standards the Dems' behaviour has been disgraceful beyond measure. Perhaps even evil. Let's hope enough people show your common sense and decency.

@helpingeachother7007 There are some people who will do anything for money. Absolutely anything.

@jvlaina Currently being carried out on 40,000 health care workers worldwide. I don't hold out much hope though. It's being done under WHO auspices with money provided by Bill Gates. Have you seen this, by the way? https://c19study.com/

@jvlaina Any ideas about this? I need to make sure it's genuine. https://c19study.com/

It is widely known. Millions of people are on such low doses as a prophylactic against malaria.

You sound as though you know what you're talking about, so I'd like to ask you a question if I may. I have been much struck by the incredibly low death rates in countries where malaria is endemic. At first I thought this might be entirely due to hydroxychloroquine being widely used as a prophylactic/treatment. Now I'm not so sure. Could it be that populations which have built up a resistance to malaria (especially in its earlier forms) have an inbuilt resistance to the worst effects of Covid 19 do you think?
1
Does this mean its OK to take Paracetemol six tablets a time, three times a day? You're last sentence lost me too.You can't simply be saying that because the "logical" high dose tests didn't work this calls into question the results of low-dose studies, surely? What am I missing here?

@gregs3845 Thank you so much for your answer. I have no medical knowledge whatsoever and am finding it hard to understand why there should be such a diversity of opinion on the best way to treat the novel coronavirus. As I understand it so far hydroxychloroquine does in no way stimulate the immune system into increased activity, but merely denies the virus the facilities to utilise cellular material to reproduce (which it cannot do on its own.) To my simple mind this means it has to be there in the cell ready and waiting before the viruses arrive. They get in, but they cannot replicate their RNA or re-assemble their protein shells. This means that it is totally pointless to attempt to defeat the virus with hydroxychloroquine once the virus has gained the upper hand as it were. Once the virus is in tissue in anything like significant numbers you can chuck HCO at it by the bucketful and it will do no good at all. It's not a case of "less is more" but "more is pointless." Thanks again. I am surprised at your news about paracetamol by the way. I once overdosed on paracetamol and brandy following a back injury and it was not a pleasant experience.

@gregs3845 Thank you once again for your very helpful insights. I have a couple of points to make which you might perhaps disagree with, but here goes anyway: We are in an emergency pandemic situation and, as such, we should could consider laying aside established laboratory protocols for the moment and go for a more direct approach. People rather than petri dishes. Once a treatment can be reasonably proved to be reasonably safe we should just try it out on volunteers. I myself am a vulnerable person, being in my seventies with type two diabetes and one or two other minor age-related ailments and I would be delighted to go on a HCQ prophylactic regime without any form of isolation. Deaths or serious hospitalisations could be monitored and reasonable deductions could be made from whether or not a victim was taking such a treatment. Mind you, with death rates falling as rapidly as they are in many countries we might well be running out of potential subjects before very long. This brings me to my second point, which I admit may be a rather fanciful one. You rightly say that is the over-reaction of immune systems which cause death and damage, rather than the virus itself. Do you not see a parallel in the over-reaction of society to this intrusive illness and which is, in itself, causing more damage than the disease?

@gregs3845 Fair enough.

@AGDinCA You do sound confused. Your image was the one you used implying that data is not dictatorial. It is when used to dictate policy and when proven to be deliberately skewed to reinforce that policy it can and should be overthrown. Studies which test hydroxychloroquine in large doses administered out of context fall into this category. They are then used to convince people that the drug is ineffective and even dangerous. Scientific objectivity is a very good thing. An essential thing; but when its pretend use is cited as a reason for deliberate disinformation, then that is a very bad thing indeed.
1
@AGDinCA I would be enormously surprised since, as I have said, the only studies which indicate such a thing have been undertaken using improbably huge doses administered far too late. The treatment for Covid 19 uses dosages similar to those taken by millions of people over the past sixty or so years as a prophylactic against malaria. It is indicative of the drug's efficacy that in countries where it is used for such a purpose death rates from Covid 19 are insignificant. You might just as well ask me how I would react if a giant clockwork crocodile came down from the sky and bit my arse off.

@AGDinCA Off we go then I'm British, not American and I'm quite incredibly old. I'm not a scientist. I was an investigative journalist for many years and I know what a rat smells like. I smelt a rat when the videos put out by the Frontline Doctors were whipped off all social media with such alacrity. The world is full of wicked people who will do absolutely anything for money. It didn't take long for me to find out more or less what Dr Campbell has just revealed here but, being the cynical old bastard that I am I decided to follow the money. It became clear that a campaign of deliberate misinformation has been mounted against hydroxychloroquine treatments and that this has been done because it is an incredibly cheap method of diminishing the effects of Covid 19. This fact immediately reduces the profitability of expensive medications being developed and put on the market by the big pharmaceutical companies' To put it briefly I became convinced that hydroxychloroquine must be good stuff simply because a lot of nasty, greedy selfish people were insisting that it wasn't. My researches have confirmed this. I was utterly convinced after an entirely false and misleading article was planted in the prestigious British medical journal The Lancet which led to the drug being banned in many counties and research programmes being abandoned. The article was exposed as a fraud after a few weeks but the damage had been done. Thousands of lives have been needlessly lost due to these evil actions, and that makes me very angry. My only HCQ beliefs are those which are confirmed by the studies which show that without doubt that if used correctly it can save very many lives. (I am a reluctant atheist and if I was an American I would regard Donald Trump as an unlikely saviour of the values of Western enlightenment democracy and would vote for him without question.) There's a mountain of technical information at the bottom of this video, but I have plenty more should you wish to see it.

@cvx1632 No . It makes me very sad and angry. Conspiracies occur with quite depressing regularity and all my instincts and experience tell me that this is one of them. The inducement of huge profits combined withe means an opportunity to obtain them is generally sufficient to overcome any moral reservations in a great many people. The conspiracy to dismiss hydroxychloroquine treatments as ineffective and/or dangerous is part of such a strategy. The methods being used remind me somewhat of the way tobacco companies paid willing "scientists" to prove their products cured bronchitis. I regularly collect evidence in the form of properly conducted clinical studies into the issue. Equally regularly these are removed from the Internet. What does this tell you?> That everything is just fine and dandy?

@chickyrogue8485 Fair enough. But be careful they don't screw us.

I'm surprised anyone is surprised. It is entirely cleat the pandemic response has been stage-managed with the over-riding objective of making obscene profits for drug companies - and with no regard for the consequences.
