aahhh, but what's missing is how the dose it. Try 6 TIMES the allowable dose. Plus most candidates where well into the illness and many on ventilators. Evidence suggest that when taken early in the disease process rather than as a last resort, there appears to be significant and measurable improvement when taken with zinc and z-pack to ward off follow on pneumonia. And the African trained Dr is supposedly a Christian Pastor as well, not sure why that is germane to the conversation but there you have it.

Oh, one other thing...Covid 19 shares more than 70% identical DNA and proteins as SARs, also a covid virus. So read this article, done by the NIH with Dr Fauci no less from 15 YEARS ago.

The anti-parasite drugs only interfere with virus replication, they buy the immune system extra time, that is all. Giving it to late stage patients to show that they died is a political strategy. They don't talk about the other drugs.

It is Germaine because she says demon sperm cause a medical condition that is well understood. So if she starts with a ridiculous failure of understanding when it comes to ovarian cyst it becomes hard to listen to her when it comes to other conditions.

70% sounds like a lot. But then, we share over 60% of our DNA with a banana.

I’m willing to bet nobody on this site is qualified to speak to how SARS and COVID are similar or different. Not that it will stop people from doing so.

60% is about right, unless it's one of those midget Delta bananas, then I'm probably closer to 100%. 😁

I wonder if Fauci has heard of that study? Maybe we should eat bananas to cure the COVID?

So is most of the entire world in on this "political strategy" of ignoring prophylactic or early stage use of HCQ?

You might want to look up the difference between DNA, and RNA, but yeah, the closest relative to Covid19 that we know of, is centuries of mutation/evolution away from it. Covid19, doesn't exist in nature.

Yes, if they are doing late stage trials.

They’ve resumed a study, I believe in London, to look at the drug as a prophylaxis, but I don’t know where they are on it. It’s been proven at best ineffective and at worst detrimental as a treatment for patients that are experiencing moderate to severe COVID symptoms. There is still a chance it could be of use either as a prophylaxis or in very-early-stage treatment.
