Can some one please link to a front line doctor that says HCQ does not work?

I will say this, my wife works in a nursing home, has auto immune and is on Hydroxychloroquine and has yet to catch Covid.

what you need is ordinary data.

how many.

ages
sex
prior issue x, y, z
and the bloodwork,and all the measurables.

not, my md said its great.
thats not science. thats an anecdote.

and by the way
side effects.

the objection immediately raised by my know-it-all age 60 and up friends was neurological side effects for years after.

its been used for years.

Are they talking about Vietnam vets who ate it like candy for months on end or someone who took it for 2 weeks?

Fauci

They are using evidence from a multitude of studies regarding ARDS. First, they delay intubation with other means of oxygenation for longer than we usually do with things like BIPAP and high flow nasal cannula. The remaining items are for after intubation, and they include use of tidal volume based on ideal body weight, high PEEP, early use of prone positioning, steroids in those who have other comorbidities responsive to steroids (eg COPD), diuresis for patients not in shock, and then once through the bulk of the storm, getting the patient off sedation and testing their respiratory status via spontaneous breathing trials.

The video was published about a month ago, but I do know that UMC’s COVID related census is pretty low at the moment compared to what it was in early April. We’ll still be keeping a cautious eye for any re-spike as people start going back to normal lives and the time to presentation from infection seems to be pretty variable.

One thing I’d like to relay to the layman’s perspective regarding this is that ARDS is a syndrome that can be caused by many things, not just COVID. Before COVID, ARDS was very difficult thing to treat, and in fact some of the treatments are controversial. I had been skeptical from the get-go regarding using plaquenil in the ICU setting. The key would be to figure out if it actually successfully prevents worsening of mild symptoms to severe. Because the variability in time to presentation and variability in intensity of symptoms are so great, it’s hard to conduct a proper prospective study on plaquenil’s effectiveness.

It will not work nearly as well in most USA hospitals because most American doctors don't outside the box the DS has trained them to live in.

Multiple studies without zinc. And how much sunlight are these people getting?

Young people get more sun and are not usually as deficient in Vit. D as older patients. This is a significant factor in why older people get more severe cases.

HCQ helps but only as part of a system. If other parts are missing it is like having a gun without bullets.

The simple fact that so many were trying to make people believe the drug was dangerous should tell you something.
