Reports Show Evidence for Using Hydroxychloroquine to Treat Covid-19 Is Flimsy

LIKE I SAID IN MY POST DATED T15/4/2020 23:31:39

By July 2020 – the daily death toll in India – will be the highest in the world

By July 1st week 2020 – India will have the highest number of daily cases.dindooohindoo

I also said that the DEATH RATE IN INDIA WILL BE THE HIGHEST IN THE LAST WEEK OF JULY 2020 – AND ON THE 3RD
OF AUGUST,2020 THE KILL QUANT IS 810 ! HERE I WAS OFF BY ONLY 3 DAYS !

https://www.greatdykenews24.co.zw/coronavirus-watch-126/

INDIA IS NO.1 ON BOTH COUNTS – THEY ALWAYS THOUGHT THEY WERE EXCEPTIONAL !

Complete DESTRUCTION lies ahead !

AS I said in my post dated July 3, 2020 – India hit 20,000 a day on the 28th of June,2020

In my post dated April 20, 2020, at 9:52 am, I had stated in the 4th and 5th LAST LINE “..and then the daily infected should double every 20 days, at the maximum. In 12 months, there should be at least 10 million cases”

June 8, 2020 PLUS 20 DAYS = 28th of June 2020

29th June 2020 PLUS 20 DAYS = 19TH OF JULY 2020

Aint this love ??

Or is it Magic?

Or is it just me?

On the 19th of July 2020, the Hindoo Indian Nation crossed 40,000 cases and had 681 deaths

CARAMBA!

AM I GOD OR JUST DIVINE?

iN 30 DAYS, THE DAILY CASE COUNT OF INDIA WILL TOP USA!

AND AMERICANS STILL WANT TO SHIFT THEIR SUPPLY CHAIN TO THE INDIAN NATION?

THE MONGOLS AND PAKISTAN WILL DESTROY INDIA!

PIGS ARE ROAMING IN COVID HOSPITALS IN INDIA!

As people get cured – the recoveries will EXCEED THE LIVE CASES – AT THE END, WHEN THE CASES ARE NIL, THE RATIO WILL BE INFINITE! IS THIS ROCKET SCIENCE? dindooohindoo

PEOPLE ASK WHY IS THE INDIAN TEA SELLER PM INCREASING TESTING? IT IS SIMPLE! TO DEPRESS THE DEATH RATES!

HE WANTS TO EXPAND THE DENOMINATOR! DID TRUMP TEACH THIS TRICK TO THE INDIAN TEA VENDOR PM \?

AND THAT EXPLAINS THE DEATH RATE FALLING \!

https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/coronavirus-indias-covid-19-case-fatality-rate-falls-below-2-5-per-cent-for-1st-time-health-ministry-2265541

OMG!

THE RECOVERED PERSONS ARE TICKING TIME BOMBS – AS MONSOON COMES – AND THE ANTIBODY IMMUNITY DIES OUT!

In essence, Indians are dead weight – the deadwood will not drown! If it floats on water – it will hurt someone!

So it has to be irradiated or turned to ashes!

The weak are getting infected and the morbid are dying – it is NATURAL SELECTION!

The Future for the Indians.dindooohindoo

By July 2020 – the daily death toll in India – will be the highest in the world

By September 2020 – Indians who are cured today,will be re-infected

By September 2020 – India will rank at No.3 in Total cases

By June 2021 – India will rank at No.1 in Number of cases

By July 1st week 2020 – India will have the highest number of daily cases

By October 2020 – the food supply chain will break down,and there will be food riots

In November and December 2020 there will be a false flag operation,and the start of a war which will bury India – forever.

If the cases in IRP – Islamic Republic of Pakistan – are not under control,by August 2020 – the cataclysm for India,could occur sooner.

It is a classic case study,of doom

But the Indians,still have NO CLUE.There is no Cure.The Indian Fools do not get it.The Doctors are just suppressing the symptoms (or trying to – on guesstimates), in the hope that the immune system,will recover (as COVID hits the immune system – aka HIV link).Hence,the virus might still exist – and migrate to te lower tracts,or JUST RE-ENTER LATER – as there is no CURE AND NO VACCINE – to PREVENT A REINFECTION (unlike smallpox, chickenpox etc.)

There is NO HOPE of a vaccine and EVEN IF IT COMES – the immunity potion and methodology, WILL NOT LAST – for sure. There has never been a Vaccine for a respiratory INFECTION or for an infection – which destroys immunity (aka-HIV).And so,there will EITHER be no COVID vaccine, or it will fail.

Like I said in LINE 27 of my post dated the 11th of May,2020, at 12:35am,that by the 19 th of June,2020,the cases will cross 10,000,STATED AS UNDER :

“Therefore, by the 5th of June 2020, the daily case count will exceed 7000, and by the 19th of June 2020, the count will cross 10000 per day”

Like I said the Indians have touched 10000 ! dindooohindoo

As per the https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/india/ – in the chart called “daily new cases” – the figures for June 6 and 7 were both in excess of 10,000

Indians are showing their data at 9983

https://www.indiatoday.in/india/story/biggest-spike-9983-new-coronavirus-cases-india-256611-covid19-death-toll-1686652-2020-06-08

Indian Manufacturing is still shut,and so are the logistics systems, for the transport of humans ! When that will open – you will have DISASTER !

Within 5 days India will be at No.4 in terms of number of cases.

45 days ago – Indians thought they were special and exceptional and immune ! The New Indian Trident,is as under :

Death rate is low Infection quantum is plateauing Recovery rate is high

Let us blow that apart.Infection quant is flattening,as the Indians are not scaling the testing upwards.The daily tests are at 120000 per day, in a nation of 1.3 billion – which is a disaster ! If they increase the testing the cases will blow up ! There is still no random testing and surveys.

Death rate is low – at 3.5 % of cases aggregate.That is also bull.Unlike the USA,
the cases have sharply accelerated in India,in the past 30 days.Indians dying today were in hospital (quasi morgues) 30-45 days ago – when the aggregate cases in
the Indian hole,were at 60-70,000.There are 8000 dead – which makes it 12% !

Recovery rate is a meaningless statistic – as it is linked to age and morbidity profile. Once manufacturing and logistics starts – the recovery rates will fall,as the VULNERABLE – will get infected.

Meanwhile In India,monkeys are stealing COVID samples – to EAT THEM.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/may/29/monkeys-steal-covid-19-test-samples-health-worker-india

The Indians claim that – it was Hanooman the ape god – hinting that cow urine is the magic cure !

And PRC have PROVEN that they have the only workable COVID model – and that their system is the only system – which can execute the workable model.PRC has also proven to ITS PEOPLE – that its system – in so far as the state is concerned,and the economic and physical security of its people – IS THE BEST (based on provable empirical data).It is also a message by PRC to its strategic partners

The Plight of the Indians is summarised by Beruni as under :

The Hindus believe that there is no country but theirs, no nation like theirs, no kings like theirs, no religion like theirs, no science like theirs.
They are haughty, foolishly vain, self-conceited, and stolid.
They are by nature niggardly in communicating that which they know, and they take the greatest possible care to withhold it from men of another caste among their own people,still much more, of course, from any foreigner…
Alberuni also tells us that “they (the Hindus) are in a state of confusion, devoid in logical order and in the last instance always mixed up with silly notions of the crowd”.
I can only compare their mathematical and astronomical knowledge to a mixture of pearls and sour dates, or of pearls and dung, or of costly crystals and common pebbles.
Both kinds of things are equal in their eyes since they cannot raise themselves to the methods of a strictly scientific deduction.

Like I said in LINE 11 of my post dated the 11th of May 2020, at 12:37 am, that by the 5th of June,2020, the cases will cross 7000.
STATED AS UNDER :
“Therefore, by the 5th of June 2020, the daily case count will exceed 7000, and by the 19th of June 2020, the count will cross 10000 per day”

On the 25th of May 2020 – as per the Indian State – it was 6977! Complete disaster! dindooohindoo

https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/record-6977-new-covid-19-cases-in-india-in-last-24-hours-death-toll-climbs-to-4021/articleshow/75964595.cms

On that date, as per the COVIDMETER, it was 7133! On the 27th of May 2020, COVID meter shows 7293 and the Indians are showing 6600!

Figure fudging Indian Style – with the aim to show stability – to JUSTIFY opening the lockdown!

Indian Govt estimates will also be blown apart!

There will be no vaccine announced till at least 3% of USA plus Brazil, Russia, Germany, UK, France, and Italy are infected. No vaccine will hit the market on a large scale tll the infections are at least 5% of the population.

In India – Hindoosthan – there would be at least 10%-15% infections (id.est.,symptomatics)- BEFORE THE VACCINE HITS. I expect that there will be NO vaccine – but these predictions are if there is a vaccine. Even if there is a vaccine, it will work on only some people!

Indian manufacturing in the SME sector is based on labour-intensive manufacturing, with maximum per sq ft utlisation of shop floors. That is the India which brings 50& of the GDP. These people have no way to survive. If they work – COVID will grow exponentially. If not, they die or the RBI prints currency and gives doles – and the USD/INR, crosses Rs 100. 3 years ago, these Indians demonetised, and now, they are remonetising.

Whichever way you see it, it is doom !

Next Doom is monsoon! It will be a disaster of a monsoon, and there is an UNPRECEDENTED locust attack on Indian Agriculture.

Their PM is an illiterate, who was a Tea Vendor, whose mommy was a dishwasher. He must be hoping that he would have lost the polls in 2019! He won the polls – as he did a fake surgical strike, on his own wimpet soldiers – killing 40 of them – and then launching a fake surgical strike, on the Pakistanis.

Before that, he had killed 1000s of Indian Muslims in India (whatever be the worth of the Indian Muslim). He has also destroyed the lives of 500 million Indians in the Demonetisation – and he has also killed and murdered Kashmiris. Indians think he is their messiah – so they will die with him!

The people of his own country will lynch him – courtesy COVID.

India is a poor, backward nation – which has to focus on poverty and inequities – no seat on UNSC. COVID is a “Ground Nihilio” event for
India and Indians.

Like I said in the 6th line, of the post dated the 2nd of May 2020, COVID count to cross 4000, in 20 days, from that date.

It is the halfway mark, and we are at 4000 plus, id.est., 4250. dindooohindoo

https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/coronavirus-4-213-cases-in-india-in-24-hours-in-biggest-one-day-jump-over-67-100-total-cases-2-206-deaths-2226610?pfrom=home-topscroll

The fun has not begun!

India is a nation of 1.3 billion. After the 17th of May 2020, the manufacturing, commerce and agriculture sectors, WILL HAVE to re-start. Govt needs revenue, and people need money, to eat and buy medicines (and pay for power, fuel, and water).

Let us say that this resumes, and lasts for 15 days, and then we have the Korea experience! By the 8th date of the opening, the people who INGESTED the virus, in the 1st week after the 17th, will become asymptos, and by the 15th date, the people who INGESTED the virus in the 1st week after the 17th – will be INFECTED AND SYMPTOMATIC.

Therefore, by the 5th of June 2020, the daily case count will exceed 7000, and by the 19th of June 2020, the count will cross 10000 per day.

By then, the monsoons will strike in full fury, and THE WORLD will learn that the COVID travels BEST IN RAINWATER – AS THE WATER IS A LARGER SUBSET, OF THE COUGH MOISTURE, in a humid environment.

From the middle of June 2020, the fission reaction of the COVID will resume – as the commercial activity, would have resumed for 30 days, AND in the monsoon season – the ASYMPTOS will become SYMPTOMS – with a variety of monsoon related diseases.

On top of that, the Municipal machinery and sanitation staff will stop working by June 2020 – which will spread disease and COVID will prey on that disease,

It is a COMPLETE DISASTER FOR INDIA – HINDOOSTHAN

Another angulature of the Indian Perfidy is that the GOI is not indicating the asympto cases, in the daily count. That is done to inflate the recovery numbers – as the asymptos,have no symptoms ! But these asymptos will be re-infected, by the time the monsoon strikes. In addition, the symptos, who have co-morbidities,, are also not disclosed – and also, the symptos whose symptoms are CAUSED by COVID

Besides the GOI, is also, not disclosing the age profile, of the recovered cases – as the young,would be recovering in the normal course – and the aged will be more vulnerable, in the post 17th May and Monsoon period.

But the time for the above sophistry is over. Post May 17 and monsoon – doom lies ahead – for Hindoosthan.

A nation of 1.3 billion cannot close down manufacturing and commerce – especially a nation with hunger, poverty, and a bankrupt banking system – and, Post May 17 and Monsoons, starts the IMPLOSION of the COVID daily count.

India has 1.3 billion, with 400 billion USD reserves, Non Performing assets of 300 billion USD (excluding informal sector), complete destruction of manufacturing supply chain, and displacement of labour.

PRC – 1.3 billion, Reserves 3-4 Trillion USD of Gold and T-Bills, Viable banks, No damage to supply chain, manufacturing active – even in Wuhan! This is the time for PRC to be creative in the South China Sea and the Indian Border. US bombers have left Guam!

It is the PERFECT DISASTER.

The Doom of the Indian COVID

The Indian nation is doomed – forever – and they have no clue -but they deserve it. dindooo hindoo

Doom No.1

There are 10 million Indians,who clean toilets in the GCC/UK/EU/USA/Africa – and their employers,WILL kick them out.They are already laid off.

Their host nations want them to be kicked out – as the host nations want these virus holes,OUT – and they also want to lower their burden on the health and other infra of their nation.GCC imports almost all the food – and,if the logistics supply chain is hit,in wave 2 or 3 – there will be a disaster.The Arabs do not want,to feed the kaffirs.

These 10 million crap holes – WILL return to India – as the cost of living in India,is cheaper – BUT the Indian state,does NOT want them.They are infected,useless,a deadweight and the Indian state,has to quarantine these 10 million vermin.In addition,they have to be airlifed,free of cost !

Where will the Indian state keep these 10 million – who may be asymptos – and how can you test,so many vermin – and where will they be quarantined ? Will they be tested before airlift – and then,will the host nation – keep them ?

Doom No.2

The Indian clowns,are doing 30000 tests a day – in a nation of 1.2 billion ! These are the PCR tests,for the RNA – we hope.Y ? The PRC 1st leaked the virus and then the PRC did not supply the testing kits to the Indians ! The truth is that the pathetic nation of India – has no testing kits for mass testing – not even the anti-body kits.

What will be the fate of this pathetic nation – if there is a bio terror attack ?

The Indian state lies that the tests are done,for relevant cases – the truth is that they do not have testing capacity.The PRC plan,is the “thousand cuts” – path.The purpose of denying testing kits – is to allow the spread of the virus – across the Indian Nation – for the resurgence, of the 2nd and 3 rd wave,in India,in the monsoons and beyond – and complete destruction of the Indian Banking and Industry.

No mass testing or survey tests,have been done,by the Indian state !

Doom No.3

In India – at least 30000 Indian worms,die in a day.Why is the death rate of COVID in India,less than 100 ? The scam of the billenium.No Indian is dying,in the normal course due – which is accelerated,or catalysed by COVID ?

Could it be that the diseased and aged – who are dying,in the 30000s – are immune to COVID ? Caramba ! The Truth is that the Indian state,HAS NOT CHECKED the dead,in morgues,to see,if they are infected.That is fine – as they are dead – but then,the 100000s infected,by the dead,are roaming free.

In the COVID period – the normative death rate ,will in any case,spike upwards

Doom No.4

When the daily infections and kill ratio,is rising – the Indian state has opened the economy ! It is now too late ! SME are wiped out for ever. SME are the supply chain for large industry – so large industry is wiped out ! Indian large industry is dependent on imports – and the
exporter nations are shut ! Some Indian Industries are export led – and the importers are kapoot ! Those industries who sell in India – are facing supply chain shortages,lack of purchasing power and demand,inability to offer credit – and soon,destruction of logistics !

Most important – there is no labour supply.

The State has earned Nil GST,from the Non-Oil,Power,Defense and Food sector,for the last 2 months !

So,the industry is bust – banks,will be bust – and the govtt will be bust !

Is this the time for the state to demonetise the deposits of the retail and their pensions and their PF ?

Doon No.5

Next Disaster,is Agriculture.Monsoon,will be a disaster.The Agri labour supply chain,will break down.The Agri-logistics,will collapse.The agri-labour,in the mandis – will collapse.

Impact – food shortage,food riots and food inflation.

Next step – agri-virus,2nd and 3rd wave of COVID,resurgence in Kashmir,and then ANARCHY.

The Indian state,has to see the positive side.India is over populated.The Banias as a race,deserve to die,and be destroyed.Of the rest – at least,50% can die.Only the Dalits deserve to live,as they were exploited,for 5000 years – with minimal carbon print,and ethical deviance.

Covid will lead to the partition of India,a new political ideology,freedom for Kashmir,and the mainstreaming of the MCC,Naxals and the CPI(ML) – and that is salvation.

Whenever,India was ruled by sons of dishwashers,whores,nautch girls,cabaret dancers ……..,those kings and their kingdoms,and India,was destroyed within 70 to 75 years.India became a republic in 1950 !

Just to update the topic, more studies are coming in with at least preliminary evidence that hydroxychloroquine is ineffective or even harmful, at least as far as treating many COVID-19 patients given the nature of the disease and the demographics most affected:

Study of malaria drug on VA virus patients shows no benefit, more deaths
> https://www.stripes.com/news/veterans/study-of-malaria-drug-on-va-virus-patients-shows-no-benefit-more-deaths-1.626877

People would give you more credence if you used your true name…but anyways on hydroxy chlororquine, it has been used since 1934 and has been well documented to be a “safe” medicine…period. Safe generally means “pretty” safe and probably won’t kill you…but there is “probably” a small percent of people like say 1%, who have an adverse reaction to every single drug or even food products, but to discredit Hydroxy chloroquine as a cure to covid 19 is a disservice and harmful to those who are dying and need something…besides aspirin to take that could actually save their lives as it has actually done for MANY thousands. Speaking about aspirin..do you realize there is about 1 % of those who want to take Baby aspirin .81 mg that have “adverse” reactions and can’t? Vomiting, diarrhea, and the usual bad side effects, that some have…but it definitely CAN”T cure covid 19! So don’t discourage people from using the product. Did you know that “the all wonderful and knowing” NY Governor Andrea Cuomo redirected all of the Hydroxy chloroquine that was heading to “other than” New York City, to be directed to HIM instead..so that the almighty Gov could direct who HE feels should be entitled to this life saving drug…besides him and his family, first,my opinion! The Right Side, JG DiLaura

A nasty problem exists here: the word “anecdotal” carries a negative connotation. It implies that people recovering from the Wuhan virus with unexpected frequency after having received H&A treatment is mere perception and is, therefore, not science. This is wrong. Anecdotal evidence is not hearsay evidence; it is evidence from direct observation. Anecdotal evidence compiled by somebody with an agenda other than saving lives might be readily dismissed, but doctors who are in the business of treating Wuhan virus patients are motivated to find what works best.

As I stated in another thread
The bullshit con artist anonyfaker likes to pass himself off as basically an expert on about everything. As much time as the fraud spends here, he could actually be more productive doing something useful for his Brooklyn community. He loves to constantly use terms like “factcheck”….”debunked”…”Science” while only citing sources that he AGREES with and disregard for mounting evidence and other sources that challenge his belief. Now his new buzz word “anecdotal” is in many of his platitudinous comments.

Fauci is not saying it does not work. He may be cautious.
BTW, what are his ties to Gates and Gates’ ties to Wuhan?

The United States economy is tanking, and rapidly due to Covid-19. We don’t have the time for long clinical trials. The search for a vaccine is one thing, that will stop future infections. We need a treatment NOW for those afflicted with the virus.

From the reports being made, it’s clear that this old drug, decades-old and inexpensive, is both safe and effective against those who suffer from COVID-19. Put it into widespread use, and do it yesterday. That’s a reason also for the delay, is that there is no big money in Hydroxychloroquine for Big Pharma, so they soft-pedal it as they won’t make large profits from it, like they milk the American public with insulin costs.

The only people that want to prolong this crisis are those who want Trump to fail. If the United States economy recovers before summer, it is likely to be reflected in the election results. That’s the only reason for this delay.

Chloroquine may never get the perfect study proving it’s good. Use it anyway
By Steve Bigler

Most folks have read tantalizing reports of patients who have received a combination drug cocktail of chloroquine (or hydroxychloroquine), azithromycin (commonly known as a Z-pack), and sometimes zinc for treatment of COVID-19. These reports have been mostly anecdotal and have involved small numbers of patients. But there have been a decent number of such reports — enough to spark President Trump’s interest and endorsement.

And if you personally know and speak to any physicians — particularly hospitalists, pulmonologists, intensivists, E.D. physicians, or primary care physicians — you’ll soon find someone who has quietly prescribed this drug cocktail to one or many patients. The reports I’ve received from physician colleagues have invariably been positive. In addition, virtually all physicians I know would not hesitate to treat their own family members with the CZZ cocktail.

The FDA has been quite hesitant to approve such treatment — even though it’s a long known and approved practice for physicians to prescribe drugs “off label” — in other words, to use drugs for a purpose other than their specific FDA-approved use. Docs aren’t jailed for doing that! The exercise of physician judgment is a recognized and accepted principle and practice.

The reason for the FDA foot-dragging is generally understandable under most circumstances: there is no current Level I clinical data that supports the use of these drugs to treat COVID-19. As mentioned above, the reports have all involved a small number of patients and are simply anecdotal in nature. And there is always valid concern about risks and side-effects of drugs.

Level I clinical data generally — not always, but generally — involves a randomized, prospective, double-blind study. Such studies are carefully planned, organized, and conducted. There is typically a treatment group — the patients who receive the treatment — and a control group — a well matched group of patients who receive a placebo, not the actual treatment. Such studies take time. That’s the first problem.

In a pandemic, we don’t have the luxury of a lot of time to conduct an exquisite study. Lives are immediately at stake.

A second potential problem is the risk of side-effects from the use of any drug. However, both drugs in question have been in use for many years and have a well known and reasonable risk profile. It’s not as if we’re testing brand new drugs.

There is a third problem. To do a really strong Level I clinical study, the study population would ideally need to consist of the high-risk population group — older patients with one or more significant co-morbidities. In a younger healthy population, COVID-19 is more likely to be a benign disease process even if not treated. So there is a reasonable chance that investigators wouldn’t be able to demonstrate a clear and persuasive drug treatment advantage even if there is one. To do so would require an immense study population.

Finally, there’s a fourth problem with a Level I clinical study that I haven’t heard discussed. At the current point in time, it is this:

By raise of hand, who among you who are in the high-risk population group wants to contract COVID-19, agree to participate in a study, then volunteer to take your 50/50 chance of being assigned to the control group? Anyone?

I know there are studies underway to evaluate this drug combination. But I would hope the FDA would consider loosening its otherwise tight control — perhaps if even on a temporary basis — to allow treatment that can be evaluated on a real time ongoing basis. It’s not Level I clinical data, but for the reasons listed above, we may never achieve Level I clinical data — at least not in the necessary time frame. And sometimes emergent need trumps standard procedure
