DETROIT – Treatment with hydroxychloroquine cut the death rate significantly in sick patients hospitalized with COVID-19 – and without heart-related side-effects, according to a new study published by Henry Ford Health System.
In a large-scale retrospective analysis of 2,541 patients hospitalized between March 10 and May 2, 2020 across the system’s six hospitals, the study found 13% of those treated with hydroxychloroquine alone died compared to 26.4% not treated with hydroxychloroquine. None of the patients had documented serious heart abnormalities; however, patients were monitored for a heart condition routinely pointed to as a reason to avoid the drug as a treatment for COVID-19.
The study was published today in the International Journal of Infectious Diseases, the peer-reviewed, open-access online publication of the International Society of Infectious Diseases (ISID.org).
Patients treated with hydroxychloroquine at Henry Ford met specific protocol criteria as outlined by the hospital system’s Division of Infectious Diseases. The vast majority received the drug soon after admission; 82% within 24 hours and 91% within 48 hours of admission. All patients in the study were 18 or over with a median age of 64 years; 51% were men and 56% African American.
Poorly designed study retrospective without good controls. Those on Plaquenil also tended to get dexamethasone. Those not getting it tended to be no codes.
Representative Louie Ghomert, who has been diagnosed with an apparently asymptomatic case of the Wuhan virus, will use zinc, Erythromycin, & Hydroxychloroquine" to fight COVID-19.
Good for him. I wish him the best.
Trump had a press conference at the American Red Cross today.
He spoke of the vaccine and the need for those who have tested positive and recovered to donate plasma For Covid Plasma Therapy. Under The Who Knew thing, most plasma donors are 60 and older.
Hydroxychioroquine was not mentioned, let alone as effective treatment.
Obviously Trump needs to put some distance from his retweet of a video of a doctor advocating for hydroxy who also believes space aliens and demons have sex with people ,while sleeping and infects them with disease.
I can’t imagine taking medical advise from any POTUS. Then again, my nose is not up the butt of any POTUS.
He had been fighting colon cancer for many years which means his immune system was nonexistent, so flu or bronchitis would probably have killed him just as fast.
Cain achieved the 5 year cancer free milestone 14 years ago. Nothing factual indicates he no longer was in remission.
He went to his office to tell his staff in person and did a radio interview. His staff has told reporters he did not allow any remote work and people were mocked for wearing masks.

Just because someone believes in demons doesn't mean they are a bad doctor.
Starting treatment with hydroxychloroquine ASAP seems to be key.
He might want to try a Lysol and Clorox Bleach enema. It'll sure get to the bottom of what ails him.
