Doctor Grace, an oncologist at Lennox Hill Hospital in Manhattan, was on The Ingraham Angle again last night to explain the uses of hydroxychloroquine, why it works, and how it has saved the lives of his patients. He is treating over 100 patients with the coronavirus and none have died.
Dr. Grace said that the reason the elderly are in trouble with Cov-19 is that their immune systems are quite strong and it’s the strength of that which causes the damage to the lungs and death. The hydroxychloroquine reduces the effects of the immune system and reduces the replication of the virus.
CNN claims people have been holding out false hope with drugs like hydroxychloroquine.
Dr. Grace explained why the drugs are nothing to dismiss. From the test results, there is only 1 chance in 10,000 this could happen by chance alone.Dr. Grace said, “we accept one chance in twenty.” His point was that one in ten thousand is almost statistical certainty of effectiveness whereas one in twenty is deemed significant. This is “huge,” he said. He added that there many wonderful breakthroughs in cancer that the bureaucracy lets them fall by the wayside.
Watch:
Dr. Fauci did say he did not mean to sound as if he was dismissing the drugs:
Correction: A reader corrected my statement on the last paragraph.
Given the success of HCQ and Azizthromycin I question the ethics of clinical trials in the treatment of patients who have COVID-19. When a treatment with this success rate is available, everyone with the disease should be offered it as a treatment. Clinical trials of those who have COVID-19 is unfair to the control group. On the other hand, clinical… Read more »
Can you point to the success of this combination anywhere other than a mass media news source? And by “point to”, I mean precisely show where it is effective? Because so far trials differ: statnews.com/2020/03/27/we-dont-know-hydroxychloroquine/ The world is full of quacks with MDs. It’s also full of scientists with MDs. It’s also full of regular people with MDs. It’s necessary… Read more »
Dr Grace’s premise that elderly patients “quite strong” immune systems make them more susceptible to damage to the lungs and death contradicts what immunology knows about the aging immune system. On the contrary “…as people age, their innate and adaptive immune responses…”weaken “Monocytes from older individuals produce less interferon in response to viral infection. They have a harder time killing… Read more »
Dr. Fauci is a buearucrat and a Shillary maxi fan. Along with Rosenstiein’s sister being on the team, the optic is not good for a quick anything to get past this medical emergency. I fully expect POTUS Trump to override the naysaying of those two lefties on the medical team, if it looks like the drug to treat kung flu… Read more »
Dr Fauxi wants to be the center of attention no matter how many people die – most of them are elders anyhow – big savings in future medicare costs and pensions.
Fauci contradicting Yrump’s message of hope last week.Millions are going to die, so far 100 in this country.
That is absolutely correct! I could not agree with you more. There is stench to dig up with Fauci/BIRX and and the biased politics of the CDC. iT NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED WITH THE CHINA ISSUES.
ALSO i CANNOT STOMACH DR.! LENA WHEN ON CNN AND MSNBC ANYMORE.
Dr Fauci has been in government for 40 years. He only ever knows how to follow the bureaucratic red tape. However, now is no time for red tape.
Thank God for President Trump. He knows how to cut through all that and get things done asap. Thank God for a business man in the White House.
Right about hydroxychloroquine in the midst of a raging epidemic. Hopefully it will put the brakes on it. There are quite a few other medicines that can be used as well that might help. The price of getting a new drug to market in the US runs almost a billion dollars, way too much. Maybe this epidemic, if we get… Read more »
Science can ONLY prove positives, science cannot prove negatives.
There should always be doubt and hesitation, until efficacy can be proven. However, we should not dismiss potentials just because it is outside the “norms”.
I hope and pray hydroxychloroquine is truly the answer we need to this Chinese Wuhan virus.
You can’t EVER “prove efficacy.” Science can falsify, it can’t prove a positive. EVER. We have a proper, clinical trial, with sufficient patients to meet scientific standards. It showed outstanding results. Sure, it was a small trial, but drugs (even brand new ones) have been approved with smaller trials. AND, this one showed amazing results. NO reason to “doubt.” No… Read more »
Agreed!!!
Lot’s of people take hydroxychloroquine for malaria and RA. If it’s effective against Covid19, then anyone already taking it should be immune.
First it is efficacious together with azithromycin, in combination. and yes, people already taking it are lucky.. as they can get it easily. There have been several callers on a local radio station out here who called in with their experiences of taking the combo at home (as were prescribed or already on one of them) and it saved their… Read more »
From as early as January Dr Vladimer Zelenko was telling everyone about how successful HCQ, Zinc, and Azithromycen was at treating CV-19, and the MSM, youtube, facebook, and Twitter have all been deleting any and all information on the treatment. Fauci and Gates also knew from a 2005 study, that this treatment works, but chose to keep it quiet. I… Read more »
