Great news though for those not TDS afflicted.
Some hospitals are also reporting 100% effective at preventing Doctors from contracting it from infected patients.

So, we have a $20 drug combo that prevents it, and saves people lives from it.

The meds can be mass produced by the milions quickly. None of the meds are under patents, so every pharma producer can crank them out by the millions.

I realize its not a vaccine, but this is amazing news for every American.

Where does Arabian news fit in?
For those with TDS fake news is news they don't want to hear. Truthful news is what they do want to hear. There's only 15 people with covid and it's under control. There's a miracle drug that will have pronounced effects in six hours (100% effective). If you have TDS it doesn't matter that's all you need to know. The "Trump Drugs" work and everyone will be cured in six hours and the entire situation is just a lefty invention.

Of course the reality that most people, and yes that includes most Trump voters, are in is a bit different than that. The "Trump Drugs" may help and I hope they do. They won't cure everyone's symptoms in six hours with a complete cure costing $20. They may help though.

Zelenko's word is all that they have. He hasn't documented anything. So scientifically it means nothing.

It's nice and hopeful and part of the research being done around the world.

The malaria drug in combination with anti-biotics....starting in South Korea and being tried all over the world may be helpful for moderately ill patients -- lots of little studies done -- most are documented.

Makes you wonder why Zelenko wouldn't have published his data yet. Maybe he will.

But Trump didn't invent it, didn't discover it -- didn't do anything but say he hopes it works.

And y'all make

Didn't say we had to wait -- but there is still no scientific proof.


I read another article from the media (these stories are all over the media not sure why some folks can't find them) that the drugs are most effective in reducing recovering time/symptoms in moderate patients. It has not been proven to work on hospitalized patients. Which means it will help with all those cases that are milder but still doesn't prevent the individuals who get really sick from getting sick.

But still worth trying.

I've been scouring the web for 10 day trying to find out how the trial of 1,100 New Yorkers has been going that began Tuesday March 24th. I have not been able to find anything about it until I came across this article.

Why is this being kept secret? 699 patients cured, 100% effective, not in China, or France, right here in New York City!!!

They just stared using it widely a few days ago after this story broke:

The fact that a segment of the US Population actually believes that American Deaths can help them Politically, particularly by the destruction of the US Economy is breathtaking - but we see evidence of it every day.

As to this 3 part drug mix that has saved lives ..... it sounds good, it appears to work well when given early and it certainly needs more study. Problem is - these CDC/FDA studies take years.

So the FDA (under a lot of public pressure) will now allow this "on label" to treat the Wu-Flu -- BUT it can't be prescribed unless the patient is in the hospital. The patient doesn't get into the hospital until they are in really bad shape. IF it is true that this Drug Combo works best (well in 5 days) when given at the first signs of distress and confirmed diagnosis ....... the FDA isn't helping much here.

Hope everyone has a friend/relative that is a Doctor .... it may save your life.

Okay googles doctors reporting 100% effective use of malaria/anti-biotics and couldn't find the source of your information.

Link please.

Here's a link that supports that it may help but nothing firm yet.


https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/01/h...s-malaria.html
The earlier reports from France and China drew criticism because they did not include control groups to compare treated versus untreated patients. Researchers called the reports anecdotal, and said the lack of controls made it impossible to determine whether the drugs worked.
