A new study shows that the controversial drug hydroxychloroquine touted by former President Donald Trump increased the survival rate of severely ill coronavirus patients.
The observational study, published by medRxiv, found that antimalarial drug hydroxychloroquine, along with zinc, could increase the coronavirus survival rate by as much as nearly 200% if distributed at higher doses to ventilated patients with a severe version of the illness.
“We found that when the cumulative doses of two drugs, HCQ and AZM, were above a certain level, patients had a survival rate 2.9 times the other patients,” the study’s conclusion states.
The study adds, “By using causal analysis and considering of weight-adjusted cumulative dose, we prove the combined therapy, >3 g HCQ and > 1g AZM greatly increases survival in Covid patients on IMV and that HCQ cumulative dose > 80 mg/kg works substantially better. These data do not yet apply to hospitalized patients not on IMV. Since those with higher doses of HCQ had higher doses of AZM, we cannot solely attribute the causal effect to HCQ/AZM combination therapy. However, it is likely AZM does contribute significantly to this increase in survival rate. Since higher dose HCQ/AZM therapy improves survival by nearly 200% in this population, the safety data are moot.”

To all the skeptics who naively warned people against hcq claiming it doesn’t help and it kills, They need to ask mechila of all the kids who lost parents. All the parents who lost adult kids, all the people they vilified etc. That bordered on shefichat damim.
Nonsens. This study ws done on the very sich, only on 255 people and they do not know if it was the zinc or hydroxy…. person that needs to ask for is the person that did not practice self restraint and allowed the virus to spread. You need to look t ll the studies,
I am expecting at least 25 comments in the comments section of this article.
Dear Sirs at MATZAV.com (and readers),
I would suggest including information, that as Jews, we are concerned and proud of. This cocktail of medicines was originally suggested to President Trump himself and to the entire Jewish community by Dr. Valdimir (Zev) Zelenko. Whom detractors, (some for political reasons and others from pure jealousy), tried to deny, irresponsibly. Even so, B”H Yisborach, thousands of Jews – and non-Jews too – avoided suffering and saved their lives, just because of the alertness, concern and exemplary CHESED that this great Physician with such a high Neshama did in every possible way. Boruch SheChalak MeChochmaso LeYire’av. May H’, -Midda K’Neged Mida-, gives him a long healthy and good life, Amen. Btw I recommend searching now for the new vitamin he just came out with, otherwise just wait for 2 years to learn in an article how good they have been…
This article is a preprint and has not been peer-reviewed [what does this mean?]. It reports new medical research that has yet to be evaluated and so should not be used to guide clinical practice.
Anonymous – Just go kiss Fauci’s toes! He is Sceince and needs no peer-reviews to declare his conclucions!
THEY ACTUALY LET THEM COMPLETE THE STUDY !!!
They must not fear Trump anymore.
Another unpublished unvetted not peer reviewed maybe trash study. This is not news it is nonsense.
YANKEL, did you know that your existance was not peer reviewed by the scientist yet either, maybe you should apply for a grant to study weather you realy exist, AND NEWER TRUST YOUR LYING EYES BEFORE COMMING TO A CONCLUSION!
Old news. So when are we charging fauci for mass murder??
And yet the left was busy calling Trump a racist.
We all knew this.
The dems and media are evil. And all you moron who voted for this president, are moron too.
Let covid die out along with past debates that only serve to divide and ones we’ve already put behind us. Reading news is preferred over hornets nest.
