Hydroxychloroquine Associated With Lower COVID-19 Mortality: Study (83% death risk reduction)

Donald Trump promoted hydroxychloroquine early on, and he was ridiculed for it. The FDA said it caused "heart rhythm problems." Former NY Governor Cuomo even went as far as to ban HCQ from being dispensed for COVID-19.

However, a new study from France just observed staggering benefits from this drug.

The study examined records of 23,172 patients who received HCQ in combination with Z-Pak for COVID-19 and 7,030 who did not.

The results: "Among those who received the drugs, 191, or 0.8 percent, died. Among those who did not, 344, or 4.8 percent, passed away."

That's an 83% relative risk reduction. This means that out of 1.2 million Americans who died of COVID-19, 1 million deaths could have been prevented.

The only major limitation I see with that study is it compared Group-A getting hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin to Group-B getting neither. So this still leaves a few questions. Did both drugs help? Or was it mainly only one? (And if so, which?) Is the combination especially effective, or do they each provide a more modest benefit on their own?

Still the HCQ-AZ combo has been a very popular alternative treatment option for quite some time, so it's great to hear that it works, whatever the reasons.

Why do you think Fauci, Bill Gates, Soros, Biden, and Pfizer wanted to outlaw it?

shithead demlefties/neocommies dont care about casualties

only the scare tactic to push more socialism

lessening the deaths and 'cases' would run contrary to their agenda
