NEWSWEEK: The Key to Defeating COVID-19 Is Hydroxychloroquine, We Need to Start Using It

PUBLISHED IN NEWSWEEK - AUTHOR IS HARVEY A. RISCH, MD, PHD , PROFESSOR OF EPIDEMIOLOGY, YALE SCHOOL OF PUBLIC HEALTH

As professor of epidemiology at Yale School of Public Health, I have authored over 300 peer-reviewed publications and currently hold senior positions on the editorial boards of several leading journals. 

I am usually accustomed to advocating for positions within the mainstream of medicine, so have been flummoxed to find that, in the midst of a crisis, 

I am fighting for a treatment that the data fully support but which, for reasons having nothing to do with a correct understanding of the science, has been pushed to the sidelines. 

As a result, tens of thousands of patients with COVID-19 are dying unnecessarily. Fortunately, the situation can be reversed easily and quickly. 

I am referring, of course, to the medication hydroxychloroquine. When this inexpensive oral medication is given very early in the course of illness, before the virus has had time to multiply beyond control, it has shown to be highly effective, especially when given in combination with the antibiotics azithromycin or doxycycline and the nutritional supplement zinc.

GRTWT.

Look, this guy is as mainstream as they get. He is not claiming rarified esoteric knowledge available only to the initiates here. He is speaking about something that is common knowledge within the medical community.

As I have written before, if everyone knows this, and 150K people are dead, and those who know the truth are not shouting the truth from the rooftops, THEY WANT YOU DEAD!

AND THEN THERE'S THIS:

Can someone give me a fact check on this? Credible or no? https://t.co/KOMKnH543G
