Hydroxychloroquine Touted By AAPS

Hydroxychloroquine Touted By AAPS — With remdesivir now being pushed as the miracle cure for Covid-19, we’d like to point out that the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS) is claiming that 91.6 percent of sufferers treated with hydroxychloroquine or chloroquine have improved clinically.

Also Turkey — a nation not known for its medicine — is reporting a much lower death rate than than that of the rest of the world, including the U.S., and attributing this to widespread use of hydroxychloroquine. Further note that Turkey has a much more lenient lockdown than the rest of the world, including the U.S.

Granted statistics can be easily manipulated and neither claim should be considered definitive, but doctors should not be prohibited or pressured into rejecting hydroxychloroquine as a Covid-19 treatment because of politics.

Especially when the competing product has a strong wiff of big pharma cronyism to it.

  1. So glad you are keeping us up-to-date, Bill. I thought there was something behind the sudden abandonment of hydroxychloroquine after hearing good reports about. Big Pharma has to have their finger in every pie.

    1. Well, Big Pharma makes hydroxychloroquine, too. I think the fact that you don’t hear about it, is that President Trump supported using it, and we know the media are hostile to him, so they ridicule stories about its use, or suppress stories about its success.

      1. You have a point there, Brad. One question I have is do the pharmaceutical companies make a big enough profit from hydroxychloroquine. If they can make a bigger profit from some other drug that does not work as well, they would push that other drug.

      2. Remdesivir is still considered experimental and its patent is held by Gilead Sciences. If it turns out to be widely used to treat Covid, Gilead will make mucho $$$$.

        Any patents on hydroxychloroquine have long expired and it can be sold generically. The chance for profit is nowhere near that of remdesivir.
