Peak Prosperity "This Generation's Polio" 15 minutes into the video, they report on a multihospital retrospective study in which patients received HCN + Azithromycin with zinc or without zinc. A lot of the comparison factors did not show much difference. But these did: ..................Zinc.................No Zinc...........p ..................N=411................N=521
needed ICU........9.2%..................15.7%...........0.004 needed vent.......8.0%..................16.5%...........0.014 Expired/hospice..13.1%..................22.8%..........<0.0001 Exp/hos in ICU...73.6%..................74.4%...........0.934 Exp/hos sans ICU..6.9%..................13.2%...........0.004
This shows pretty conclusively that the combination of HCN + zinc makes a huge difference when you give it to patients not sick enough to need the ICU yet. It also shows that it has very little effect on patients that need the ICU. ===============================================================
At 25 minutes into the video, they also report on a paper on Ivermectin:
Administered once at 150 mcg/kg compared to patients with no Ivermectin. N=704 in each arm, matched for everything they could think of.
''''''''''''''''Ivermectin..........Control..........p Dead with Vent.....7.3%...............21.3% Overall Death......1.4%................8.5%.......<0.0001
They show the original paper URLs on the left, so you can go read the papers if that's your desire.
HCN+zinc and Ivermectine have totally different mechanisms, so it would probably be possible to use them together. Both are extremely cheap and widely available, especially in the Third World where one is a common anti-malarial and the other is an anti-parasite drug.
