I finished a book about the flu epidemic of 1918 last night. The Great Influenza by John M. Barry.

One of the things that never ceases to amaze me is how history repeats itself. Our politicians have learned nothing over the decades since regarding the proper way to respond to a global health crisis. Politicians back then were as incompetent or even more so than today. Even back then, politicians were peddling snake-oil and encouraging the use of typhoid vaccines, and even quinine of all things! Their reasoning seemed to be if it worked on one disease, then it might just work on this one. Then they would convince themselves it worked regardless of results. Just incredible how our politicians have learned nothing.

Unfortunately, this study is highly misleading for several reasons, but most notably because it failed to employ zinc - a critical component of proper Hydroxychloriquine treatment. When used in proper combination, hydroxychloroquine is actually one of the most promising treatments there is for COVID-19. Three very important considerations when evaluating the data presented in this study are:

1. The study was done without the use of zinc. One of the most important anti-viral mechanisms of hydroxychloroquine is its activity as a zinc ionophore, which opens the cellular pathway for zinc to enter cells and shut down viral replication via inhibition of the replicase enzyme. Efficacy research on hydroxychloroquine alone versus hydroxychloroquine + zinc + azithromycin is yielding dramatically different results, as noted by many doctors worldwide. I’ve linked three videos of their discussions and accounts below.

2. The study was retroactive and not a proper randomized control study. Thus ventilator and mortality rates may reflect the severity of illness at which doctors chose to use hydroxychloroquine as an experimental compassionate care treatment versus cases in which more drastic measures were deemed unnecessary. Hydroxychloriquine + azithromycin + zinc treatment is most effective when used early in disease progression, however many doctors are reluctant to use it for all but the most serious cases. This study may worsen this problem.

3. V.A. research most likely skews towards more elderly and fragile patients who may show different outcomes than younger patients. Additionally, it is dubious to attribute organ damage to Hydroxychloriquine in a disease process which regularly damages organs via viral invasion and cytokine storms.

More controlled studies accounting for the above considerations need to be conducted before the efficacy or mortality rates of hydroxychloroquine treatments can be properly evaluated.

Just take disinfectant internally and shove an ultra-violet light into any or all of your body orifices....

I really thought this was a report from 'The Onion' but, alas, it is real....

Stay home.
