NYC councilman says hydroxychloroquine helped him recover from COVID

City Councilman Paul Vallone credits the controversial malaria drug hydroxychloroquine with saving his life as he battled the coronavirus earlier this year.

Vallone, a Democrat representing Queens, told the New York Post that the drug “worked for me” when he was battling a bad case of the virus back in March.


“I couldn’t breathe, very weak, couldn’t get out of bed,” Vallone told the paper. “My doctor prescribed it. My pharmacy had it. Took it that day and within two to three days I was able to breathe.”

Vallone, who suffers from the auto-immune disease sarcoidosis, said his case was bad enough that he “needed something to stay alive.” He took hydroxychloroquine with a flu Z-pack and “within a week I was back on my feet.”

    The HCQ-AZ combination, when started immediately after diagnosis, appears to be 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 contagious infectivity in most cases. https://docs.google.com/document/d/15...

      Interesting gg.doc link thanks Dob. Here is a quote from the end:

      Historical controls are used in many previous studies in medicine. In this respect, the safety of Hydroxychloroquine is well documented. When the safe use of this drug is projected against its apparent effect of decreasing the progression of early cases to ventilator use, it is difficult to understand the reluctance of the authorities in charge of U.S. pandemic management to recommend its use in early COVID-19 cases. The effects of the chloroquines were first outlined 15 years ago by the CDC’s own Special Pathogens Unit.

      This just about says it all. Now who was it that ran the CDC special Pathogen Unit? Was that not as well the same person who approved the use of historical controls in his own work and recommendations - Dr A Fauci!

      The Dark Center politicians and their benefactors just want the older people who remember what individual liberty means and how the constitution guarantees the rights of individuals, not corporations, to die as soon as possible. The pols and their benefactors will get HCQ and live to loot another day.

    Ignoring Expert Opinion, Trump Again Promotes Use of Hydroxychloroquine
    2 hours ago · Mr. Trump's recommendation of hydroxychloroquine, for the second day in a row at a White House briefing, was a striking example of his brazen willingness to distort and outright defy expert ..

    Well well ........They did not report this. Hmmmmm

      I love people who suggest you CANNOT use it for off-label use when about 20% of prescriptions are in-fact off-label-use!

      The insanity in this.

      I also love how a CRAPPY study is used to discredit HCQ, but the many positive studies are absolutely ignored. Admittedly, some are not great studies.

      But during a pandemic there is FAR MORE evidence that HCQ,Zinc,AZ work than there is evidence that Face Masks are working!

    He'll probably be recalled, saying anything in favor of hydroxychloroquine is an ethical and probably legal violation in New York City. He should at least serve some time in prison for telling anyone.
