"“Our analysis shows that using hydroxychloroquine helped saves lives,” neurosurgeon Dr. Steven Kalkanis, senior vice president and chief academic officer of the health system, said in a statement. “As doctors and scientists, we look to the data for insight. And the data here is clear that there was benefit to using the drug as a treatment for sick, hospitalized patients.”

Patients who received hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin also had a lower mortality than people who received neither, as did patients who received azithromycin.

“The findings have been highly analyzed and peer-reviewed,” added Dr. Marcus Zervos, division head of Infectious Disease for Henry Ford, who co-authored the study with epidemiologist Dr. Samia Arshad.

The median age of patients was 64. The group was 51 percent male and 56 percent African-American.

The conclusions came from a peer-reviewed study that was published in the International Journal of Infectious Diseases.

Other studies have suggested hydroxychloroquine is effective. One showed it led to a higher rate of discharge from hospitals when combined with zinc and azithromycin.

Indian researchers said the anti-malarial is an effective prophylactic against the CCP virus."

    Death rate cut. no heart-related side-effects.
    2,541 patients. of those treated 13% deaths,
    of those not treated there were 26.4% deaths.

    Curious, no mention of zinc supplementation if any, or of the stage of infection.

    Web sites:
    https://www.henryford.com/news/2020/0...
    and
    https://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-...
    and
    " published today in the International Journal of Infectious Diseases"


    Worth noting, after pushing from Fauci, Gates, etc, the news of a massive order from the 'US gov' for remdesivir, the anti-viral drug developed at enormous expensive that works only marginally.

    Just askin'- could the reason be that CCP19 is mutating itself out of danger to humans so there is no need for anything, "Get that order in fast" ?

    A major hospital in my area is still drinking the kool-aid and will not proscribe HOCL (my shorthand) to COVID patients regardless if they ask for it. Medical malpractice IMO - especially since they are still relying on ventilators which more recent studies have shown may actually do more harm than good...
