Hey, I'm all for science, having worked in medical research myself. But as far as I can tell, all the published papers have show so far is that HCQ given late doesn't work (because Covid-19 is really an autoimmune disease at that stage), given early without zinc doesn't work (because zinc is the thing that stops viral replication, HCQ is just the vehicle), it's very dangerous according to a retracted Lancet paper using fake data, and worse. The one study in which they said they had no results of significance, had everything self-reported and very few cases of actual Covid-19, so it doesn't tell us anything. There have been a few retrospective studies in which HCQ + zinc was given at the first sign of exposure or symptom, and it looked like it cut the mortality in half. Many doctors in many countries have reported using it with a lot of success in their own practice.
That's the kind of evidence that leads to full random blind trials. Unfortunately, those trials did not test the hypothesis that early HCQ (in a normal dose) plus zinc lowered mortality. Instead we got absolute crap like the Brazilian study that gave everybody a twenty-fold overdose and had to be aborted because it was killing people.
Notice scientists say there is no evidence HCQ is efficacious. That's right, there is none because the way they tried to use it does not work. Even Trump knew it had to be given early with zinc, and he's one of the dumbest people around. Show me a random blind trial where it's given early with zinc, and I'll be the first to say it doesn't work.
Meanwhile, Dr. Stella Immanuel is a wackjob and should not have a medical license.
