Anti-malaria drug touted by Trump has high death risk in COVID-19 patients, new study shows
By Nathaniel Weixel - 05/22/20 10:48 AM EDT

Hospitalized COVID-19 patients who were treated with hydroxychloroquine, an anti-malaria touted by President Trump, had a much higher risk of death than those who were not, according to a new study of 96,000 patients.

The study, published Friday in the medical journal The Lancet, found that patients who were treated with hydroxychloroquine or chloroquine also faced a much higher risk of abnormal heartbeats, called arrhythmias, which could result in cardiac arrest.

The study looked at patients across six different continents, and is the largest analysis to date on the effects of treating COVID-19 patients with hydroxychloroquine or chloroquine.


Nearly 15,000 of the 96,000 patients in the analysis were treated with hydroxychloroquine or chloroquine alone or in combination with an antibiotic called a macrolide, similar to azithromycin, within 48 hours of their diagnosis.

Someone's lying. From a recent Am Spectator article:

Is HCQ as dangerous as the media and Democrats claim? Although the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently warned about HCQ possibly causing irregular heartbeat in COVID-19 patients, it provides no similar warning if the drug is used to treat malaria, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and other diseases. The FDA has yet to explain either this contradictory position or how its newly minted warning regarding possible cardiac arrythmia in COVID-19 cases squares with HCQ’s six-decade record of safe use by millions of patients.

Those millions have taken HCQ on an outpatient basis without hospitalization or undergoing EKGs, cardiac monitoring, or similar medical surveillance. Over the decades, HCQ has proven to be very safe, and that excellent safety profile is well established and well known to health-care providers.

If Fauci had proclaimed this as a treatment, it would not be criticized. Since Trump made the proclamation it is deemed as dangerous.  I question this validity of this study as it was my understanding that it is the Zpack that causes the arrhythmia -- I've stated this before, as a heart patient, I can't take this drug. I was given a 3 day dose several years ago, I did ok, but info came out since then and my doc will no longer prescribe for me.

Also, the NIH has decided to stop its remdesivir study.  There seems to be conflicting evidence;some studies says it works some studies say that it doesn't work so well and can cause death.

I'm not trusting of any study or vaccine now because of the continuous discrepancy in reports. Is the true information being withheld from the public so that this virus claims a higher death toll, which would give reason for mail-in voting and another shut down??

What about the people who have been helped by the chloronique/zinc/z-pack combo and remdesivir?

Hydroxychloroquine shows no virus benefit, raises death risk: study

Patrick GALEY,AFP   â€¢   May 22, 2020


Paris (AFP) - A study of nearly 100,000 coronavirus patients has shown no benefit in treating them with anti-viral drugs hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine and even increased the likelihood of them dying in hospital.

https://news.yahoo.com/hydroxychloroquine-shows-no-coronavirus-benefit-raises-death-risk-144240073.html

Yet another study which did not include zinc sulfate.  One hundred thousand coronavirus patients put at risk because THE crucial ingredient of the treatment was purposely omitted in order to make a political point.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

-Dwight Eisenhower-


"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."

There is a separate thread about the story I'm posting below, but I thought it would be good to post this update in the original thread about this "stufdy":

Widely Publicized Hydroxychloroquine Study Appears To Be Based On Bogus Data
JOHN SEXTON, Posted at 1:01 pm on June 3, 2020

This certainly looks like a significant case of medical fraud. A company called Surgisphere claimed it had a database of information gathered from over 600 hospitals around the world on the success of hydroxychloroquine for the treatment of the coronavirus. The company’s owner authored several papers published in prominent medical journals based on this data. Those papers were then widely reported in the media last month and resulted in drug trials that were already underway being paused:

Quote
On its face, it was a major finding: Antimalarial drugs touted by the White House as possible COVID-19 treatments looked to be not just ineffective, but downright deadly. A study published on 22 May in The Lancet used hospital records procured by a little-known data analytics company called Surgisphere to conclude that coronavirus patients taking chloroquine or hydroxychloroquine were more likely to show an irregular heart rhythm—a known side effect thought to be rare—and were more likely to die in the hospital.

Within days, some large randomized trials of the drugs—the type that might prove or disprove the retrospective study’s analysis—screeched to a halt. Solidarity, the World Health Organization’s (WHO’s) megatrial of potential COVID-19 treatments, paused recruitment into its hydroxychloroquine arm, for example.
...
Last week, a group of 100 doctors and scientists wrote an open letter to Lancet asking that the data underlying the study be explained in more detail because it appeared the numbers didn’t add up. At the time, Dr. Sapan S. Desai, the owner of Surgisphere vigorously defended the accuracy of his data but refused to show it to anyone. He later agreed to let Lancet review it. However, today the Guardian reported some additional problems with the credibility of Surgisphere, a company whose total of six employees include a science fiction author and an adult model:

How in Hades did the august Lancet let itself get fooled by such a mountebank entity?! I'm at a loss for an explanation not predicated on agenda or confirmation bias. And who is backing/feeding Surgisphere in this mess? Are they a political cut-out?!

Fuller's Rule of Life... and this dates to at least the mid-2000s when they claimed hundreds of thousands of Iraqis died at the hands of the U.S. military... never trust anything published in The Lancet.

Their sterling reputation is not deserved.

They were also the journal duped by Andrew Wakefield with the vaccine/autism hoax.
