So the best you can provide is a COVID respiratory viral loads study performed in China in early March on a sample set of patients that is so small that the results are meaningless.
Meanwhile, the People’s Drug Is Running Ahead
As we have documented in earlier reports, here and here and on our Coronavirus Resource Center, hydroxychloroquine and zinc as a prophylactic, and hydroxychloroquine plus azithromycin and zinc for patients developing COVID-19 could right now greatly improve the treatment of patients in the US, as it has done elsewhere.
Doctors and entire nations have been and are continuing to use this drug successfully, especially in combination with azithromycin and zinc. The Association of American Physicians and Surgeons has shown that the countries which actively use hydroxychloroquine have significantly lower death rates than those that do not.
Meanwhile, the so-called “gold standard” of controlled clinical trials has been vastly ramped up by the pharmaceutical industry and we can expect a deluge of supposedly scientific studies pouring from them. This report warns the world not to trust the Pharmaceutical Empire’s forthcoming tsunami of evidence for the safety and effectiveness of their products.
Bias Already Controls Ongoing and Planned Clinical Trials
You can see the drug company bias in a recent list of all current and planned registered trials of remdesivir for the treatment of Covid-19. Many of the trials have “arms” or comparator studies for chloroquine or hydroxychloroquine. There are fourteen of these chloroquine and/or hydroxychloroquine trial arms; but all of them are set up so that they are doomed to fail. Only one adds azithromycin to the hydroxychloroquine and none adds zinc. Yet, the combination of hydroxychloroquine, azithromycin and zinc is considered the most successful treatment for COVID-19 by experienced clinicians. In addition, several studies compare remdesivir to the older drug chloroquine rather than to hydroxychloroquine which is considered safer. Put simply, every single registered remdesivir clinical trial has been rigged to make hydroxychloroquine fail in comparison.
We cannot take seriously any of the in-progress or planned remdesivir studies!
Meanwhile, a search of ClinicalTrials.gov shows only three ongoing or proposed trials for the combination of hydroxychloroquine, azithromycin and zinc. Their outcome will probably be determined by whether or not they are intended to show that the medication works. Meanwhile, it is likely that some clinical trials of “Trump’s Wonder Drug” will be conducted by researchers who are hostile toward the President. Almost all clinical trials are conducted by researchers with vested interests in the pharmaceutical industry, what we call The Pharmaceutical Empire. Nearly all will be conducted by experienced researchers with long histories of working for drug companies. They are likely to be interested in knocking hydroxychloroquine out of the competition in favor of more financially rewarding drugs and vaccines or simply to please those in the Pharmaceutical Empire who have been paying their salaries and giving them bonuses for years.
Perhaps in the crucible of the epidemic, some institutions will courageously conduct genuinely scientific studies of the hydroxychloroquine’s rug’s safety and effectiveness in combination with azithromycin and zinc; but that is an idealistic longshot. The world that awaits the clinical trial results should be warned that most of the trials will be showcase trials for those who sponsor them.
Science is a process. To develop genuine or more lasting scientific validity often takes many trustworthy and honest scientists and institutions working independently and separately in many settings, publishing numerous papers, over a long period of time. I doubt that “Trump’s Wonder Drug” will ever be given a fair scientific review, at least in the United States. It is more likely to occur in other countries where the Pharmaceutical Empire has somewhat less influence. And when that happens, the research will get scant airing in the US.

Democrat NYC councilman: Hydroxychloroquine 'saved my life'
- Valerie Richardson - The Washington Times
Sunday, August 9, 2020
A Democratic New York City council member has credited hydroxychloroquine with saving his life after he contracted the novel coronavirus in March.
Democrat Paul Vallone, who represents northeast Queens, told the New York Post he was struggling to breathe before his doctor prescribed hydroxychloroquine, which he took with Azithromycin, the antibiotic also known as Zithromax or Z-Pak.
Oh... meaningless fabricated nonsense from hydroxy cultist Peter Breggin.
Enjoy your alternate reality.

Early Hydroxychloroquine Administration for Rapid Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 Eradication

Infect Chemother. 2020 Jul 16. Online ahead of print.
ABSTRACT
There are no proven therapeutics for Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pneumonia outbreak. We observed and analyzed the clinical efficacy of the most used hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) for 30 days. In this study, administration of HCQ <5 days from diagnosis (odds ratio: 0.111, 95% confidence interval: 0.034 - 0.367, P = 0.001) was the only protective factor for prolonging of viral shedding in COVID-19 patients. Early administration of HCQ significantly ameliorates inflammatory cytokine secretion by eradicating COVID-19, at discharge. Our findings suggest that patients confirmed of COVID-19 infection should be administrated HCQ as soon as possible.

BREAKING REPORT from John Hopkins Journal: GREAT NEWS on Hydroxychloroquine + Zinc
May 28, 2020 Q
US MEDIA HAS BLOOD on their HANDS as well as Dr. FRAUDCHI
Hydroxychloroquine+azithromycin has been widely misrepresented in both clinical reports and public media, and outpatient trials results are not expected until September. Early outpatient illness is very different than later hospitalized florid disease and the treatments differ. Evidence about use of hydroxychloroquine alone, or of hydroxychloroquine+azithromycin in inpatients, is irrelevant concerning efficacy of the pair in early high-risk outpatient disease. Five studies, including two controlled clinical trials, have demonstrated significant major outpatient treatment efficacy. Hydroxychloroquine+azithromycin has been used as standard-of-care in more than 300,000 older adults with multicomorbidities, with estimated proportion diagnosed with cardiac arrhythmias attributable to the medications 47/100,000 users, of which estimated mortality is <20%, 9/100,000 users, compared to the 10,000 Americans now dying each week. These medications need to be widely available and promoted immediately for physicians to prescribe.

Hydroxychloroquine Case Is Filed in the Sixth Circuit by the Association of American Physicians & Surgeons (AAPS)
August 11, 2020 11:56 ET | Source: Association of American Physicians and Surgeons
TUCSON, Ariz., Aug. 11, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- On Monday the Association of American Physicians & Surgeons filed its Petition for Writ of Mandamus with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit on its lawsuit to end governmental interference with public access to hydroxychloroquine (HCQ). The Respondents include the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) and the Department of Health & Human Services (HHS), which have blocked access to HCQ while falsely disparaging it due to their improper political and financial motivations.
Captioned In re Association of American Physicians & Surgeons, No. 20-1743, AAPS explains to the Sixth Circuit why immediate action is necessary so that all Americans can benefit from the same prophylactic medication which President Trump successfully took to avoid contracting COVID-19.
The Deep State has improperly interfered with access to COVID-19 in three ways, AAPS explains in its extraordinary petition. First, the FDA “accepted donations of nearly 100 million doses of HCQ to the Strategic National Stockpile for COVID-19, but have since refused to distribute the vast majority of that medication and instead is allowing it to deteriorate such that it will be wastefully discarded rather than helping save lives,” AAPS emphasizes in its new filing.
AAPS General Counsel Andrew Schlafly informed the court that the agency bureaucrats “have posted false, disparaging statements about HCQ, upon which other regulators have relied in blocking access to it.” He added that the FDA and HHS have “imposed arbitrary restrictions on HCQ use as part of an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA)” and then “improperly extended their wrongful restrictions and disparagement to continue to block access to HCQ for early treatment of COVID-19.”
Most Americans continue to be unable to obtain HCQ for early treatment of COVID-19, and virtually no Americans are able to access it as preventive medicine, AAPS explains. The Sixth Circuit, typically the highest court to hear cases from Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky, and Tennessee, has ruled in favor of churches during the coronavirus pandemic.
“HCQ has been used safely for decades by travelers to protect against malaria, but Americans are dying from COVID-19 while HCQ is withheld from them,” Andrew Schlafly adds.
AAPS informs the Sixth Circuit that Yale School of Public Health Harvey Risch, M.D., stated that 100,000 lives might be saved if HCQ were made widely available. AAPS also observed for the court that a Democratic Councilman from Queens recently disclosed his view that HCQ saved his life from COVID. Average Americans should have access to this inexpensive medication too, which costs less than a dollar a dose.
This lawsuit by AAPS seeks to implement the pro-HCQ policy which President Trump has supported since April, but has been stymied by bureaucrats within federal and state agencies. Herman Cain, a Trump supporter, tragically died in an Atlanta hospital amid less access to HCQ than poor countries in Central America do.
AAPS has represented physicians of all specialties in all states since 1943. The AAPS motto is omnia pro aegroto, meaning everything for the patient.

The AAPS is not a medical association; it is a conservative lobbying association. The AAPS is a joke.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Association_of_American_Physicians_and_Surgeons
"The Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS) is a conservative non-profit association founded in 1944. The group was reported to have about 5,000 members in 2014. The association has promoted a range of scientifically discredited hypotheses, including the belief that HIV does not cause AIDS, that being gay reduces life expectancy, that there is a link between abortion and breast cancer, and that there is a causal relationship between vaccines and autism."
Haha. You have the audacity to use Wikipedia as a source. That is laughable. Is like using the Wapo or the NYT as a source to push idiotic leftist propaganda.
The Association of American Physicians and Surgeons – AAPS – is a non-partisan professional association of physicians in all types of practices and specialties across the country.
Since 1943, AAPS has been dedicated to the highest ethical standards of the Oath of Hippocrates and to preserving the sanctity of the patient-physician relationship and the practice of private medicine.
Our motto, “omnia pro aegroto” means “all for the patient.”

To serve the state? Or to serve our patients?
That is the question we will increasingly face as government forces its power into every nook and cranny of our professional lives. I once belonged to all the standard societies—my specialty society, my state and local medical society and—dare I admit this—even the AMA. But I discovered that none of these societies stood on the principles I hold dear—individual liberty, personal responsibility, limited government, and the ability to freely practice medicine according to time honored Hippocratic principles.
AAPS Fights to Preserve Medical Freedom!
The Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, AAPS, has been fighting the good fight to preserve the practice of private medicine since 1943. When the Clinton health plan was proposed, we fought for open meetings. And when the details came to light, the plan was halted. In the current battle over health care “reform,” the AAPS helped organize numerous physician rallys and has a pending lawsuit suit in the DC Federal District Court challenging the constitutionality of the ObamaCare insurance mandate.
AAPS Stands up for Physicians!
The AAPS legal team defends doctors who have been mugged by Medicare, or railroaded by hospitals using sham peer review. We sued the Texas Medical Board in defense of physicians’ due process rights; this suit is now on appeal. We drafted legislation for reform of the Texas medical practice act and are fighting for its enactment.
AAPS Helps Physicians Reduce and Eliminate Third Party Interference!
The AAPS seminar, “Thrive Don’t Just Survive,” has reached doctors all over the country who wish to leave the hassles of Medicare and the interference of managed care and start a cash practice. We have helped hundreds of doctors opt out of Medicare through information on our website and our limited legal consultation service. We challenged the HIPAA “Privacy Rule,” and got the government to acknowledge the “country doctor exemption” for physicians who do not file claims electronically.
AAPS Keeps You Informed!
Our monthly newsletter, AAPS News is packed with political, legal, and practical information that physicians cannot afford to miss. Our Journal of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons publishes the controversial issues—often with both sides in a point counterpoint–that you won’t find in most mainstream medical publications. AAPS email alerts and our website (www.aapsonline.org) will get you the late breaking news as it happens and provide you with urgent political action items to help in the fight to restore medical freedom.
Individually, our members have appeared on Fox News, in the Wall Street Journal, in HumanEvents.com and other blog sites, contributing time, talent, and facts to counter the emotional arguments for socialized medicine.
AAPS speaks for Physicians NOT Corporate or Government Interests!
AAPS is completely funded by membership dues and contributions, so we answer to and advocate for our physician members and not big corporate donors or government funding sources. The AMA’s deal with HCFA gave it a monopoly on the CPT codes, from which it derives at least $70 million in revenue annually. AAPS was one of the first to expose this conflict of interest.
All elected AAPS Board members and officers serve on a volunteer basis and even pay their own way to board meetings. We do not have a big building, or a bloated staff. Every dime in dues goes directly to the fight for freedom in medicine.
Join Your Colleagues to Keep Patient-Centered Medicine Alive!
For almost 75 years, we have consistently stood for ethical patient-centered medicine—the kind only possible in a free market medical system.
So, if you are like me, and you are tired of contributing to organizations which claim to be your advocate, but do little more than lobby for short term payment increases, support politicians who cannot be trusted, and feed their own self preserving coffers by selling you CPT coding manuals, come join us at the AAPS.
