Comments by "Dale Crocker" (@dalecrocker3213) on "Pandemic Science, Reinfections and hydroxychloroquine" video.

If anyone wants any further proof of how effective hydroxychloroquine treatments are likely to be you simply have to look at how Google and YouTube censors are weeding out positive information on the subject. Dr Campbell's video of yesterday is still obtainable, thank goodness but plenty of other material has been wiped. Up until now it has mostly been simple stuff, aimed at the layman but I have just discovered that the peer-reviewed John Hopkins study published in late May is now unobtainable. The very fact that the enemies of truth should be acting in this way shows the rightness of the cause. A very great evil is being perpetrated at the cost of thousands of lives.

@tonydanis1480 Are those contributing officially to Covid 19 eradication doing such a great job though? It seems to me you only get on board if you follow the official line: enforce restrictions, wait for a vaccine, support expensive medications and dismiss all alternative treatments by using deliberately false data if needs be. Fail to follow these guidelines and you're out.

@tonydanis1480 Well, you do sound quite extraordinarily elitist if I may say so! "Outsider" indeed! He gains a following, I imagine, for the very reason that he provides a reasonably comprehensible interface with the esoteric realm you seem to inhabit. Lay people such as myself are frequently puzzled by the behaviour and doings of our betters and the arrival of Covid 19 and the way it is being dealt with are especial causes of bafflement. We all have our biases and I must confess I have up until now been somewhat disappointed in Dr Campbell but his reaction to the many mysteries surrounding the use or none use of hydroxychloroquine treatments match mine - so now I thoroughly approve of him. His background is in nurse training I believe, so a very lowly individual indeed. He may even have got his hands dirty from time to time and actually had to deal with real, living patients,; this obviously disqualifies him from pure research. He is however, obviously honest and decent and to quote the eminent and powerful Dr Fauci " has no horse in the race." Whether Dr Fauci himself actually does have a horse in the race or not is of course another matter.

@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?

@Abracadabra1111 And yet many people clearly do. People with arthritis or lupus one imagines.

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.
