It takes, usually, upwards of five years to develop a vaccine and they are often not fully effective. We still don’t have a vaccine for AIDS. What we need for coronavirus is a cure and eventually a vaccine. Since COV-19 has many of the symptoms of other cases of flu, pneumonia, and viruses, drugs that have worked in the past have the potential to work with this COVID-19 as well. A combination of hydroxychloroquine and Azithromycin are two of those drugs.
THE NEW FRENCH STUDY
Famed French microbiologist Didier Raoult released a new (not double-blind immoral) study on a combination of drugs — hydroxychloroquine and Azithromycin. The study was conducted with 1061 patients suffering from Coronavirus. Mr. Raoult does not believe in control groups with deadly diseases since it means letting one group go without help.
The new study, of which the abstract was released Thursday, was performed at IHU Méditerranée Infection, Marseille, France.
A cohort of 1061 COVID-19 patients, treated for at least 3 days with the Hydroxychloroquine-Azithromycin (HCQ-AZ) combination and a follow-up of at least 9 days was investigated.
Key findings are:
- No cardiac toxicity was observed.
- A good clinical outcome and a virological cure were obtained in 973 patients within 10 days (91.7%).
A poor outcome was observed for 46 patients (4.3%); 10 were transferred to intensive care units, 5 patients died (0.47%) (74-95 years old) and 31 required 10 days of hospitalization or more.
The authors conclude that:
“The HCQ-AZ combination, when started immediately after diagnosis, is a safe and efficient treatment for COVID-19, with a mortality rate of 0.5%, in elderly patients. It avoids worsening and clears virus persistence and contagiousity in most cases.”

Meanwhile, the insane media is still mocking anyone who talks about the cure (Bob Redfield, Director of the CDC is the last one to speak):
Watch this segment about Mr. Raoult:
Dr. Fauci himself said, of course, he’d take it, especially if there’s nothing else:

Obesity is a high risk factor as is diabetes. Around 70% of cases are of African-American ancestry.
The lungs are decimated by the vile CCP virus and ventilators may do more harm than good in this case.
Smoking is not on the menu and every doctor I’ve ever consulted with told me that quitting back in the late 90s was the best thing for health.
I’ll go with this French pioneer doctor over some politicized hidden agenda ‘expert’ any day.
Results speak louder than evildoers out to capitalize or ram through an agenda.
Thanks for sharing this information. Listening the the opinions on network shows was driving me crazy so i stopped listening to opinions of those who do not understand it themselves is a waste of time! Hats off to the French ‘s scientific way of evaluating and explaining!
what is the dose of hydroxychoquine and azitromycine of each a day and for how many days
Each doctor has to decide for each patient, but it is a Hydroxychloroquine, Azithromycin and Zinc cocktail.
The dose is dependent on the weight of the patient. The French studies used much higher dosages than American doctors who use HCQ. Quinones are all toxic at improperly high dosages, so this is an issue.
There is sometimes a lengthening of the QT interval for the ECG, which has been tied to serious arrhythmias. But it is very uncommon in the usual safe dosage range, except for some patients who already have a lengthened interval. In that case it’s “risk vs. reward.”
I am a retired surgeon and treating this disease would NOT be in my specialty. I will just say that you can look up the dose on the studies in most cases.
In my professional opinion (which you should take with a grain of salt), I would stick to lower doses. HCQ has a long half-life and in elderly people, stays “around” longer.

Congratulations! These doctors claim a 91.7% success rate. That means that 8.3% died. That’s a case fatality rate of 8.3%. Hugely deadly. About 83 times as deadly as the flu. NOthing to worry about here, right?
The devil is (always) in the details:Less effective results occurred in elderly patients. Some of them were taking beta-blockers, like atenolol, metoprolol, etc. Low serum concentrations of HCQ did not do as well, The minimum number of days on HCQ would have to be at least 3 days of both HCQ and Azithromycin. Those with less did not do as well.
Zinc was not used in this study. Dr. Zelenko believes zinc is essential. HCQ is described as a “zinc ionophore” which DRIVES zinc into the infected cell, which does NOT allow the virus to duplicate.
This study did not include Ivermectin, which is very effective in both invitro and invivo studies, although to my knowledge, only ONE invivo study was given. It has no contraindications.
Doctors who posted information on line for Ivermectin were CUT on YouTube, in an active censorship.
I will keep my post on specific medical issues, not political. There are some new anti-viral medications that interrupt the cytokine storm, like HCQ that are promising, (Leronlimab) but they TOO must be given early in order to prevent the cytokine storm. So far, those have not been censored by YouTube. Those who have been censored are physicians.
It is my opinion that by the end of this year, physicians will be able to treat most Sars-2 Novel virus patients and allow them to survive, except for some very frail elderly people in nursing homes and extended care facilities. I always provide a disclosure that I am retired and that treatment of this disease would NOT be in my specialty. However, I worked actively as a surgeon in the HIV AID’s crisis. This is NOT my first pandemic.
