Harvey Risch, a researcher got to wondering why there was so much furor over HCQ so he started studying the results. He came to the following conclusions.
The link above to the American Journal of Epidemiology takes you to a page with the abstract of his study. On that page is a link to a pdf file that contains the abstract ,plus the entire study. Risch says, unequivically, that the use of HCQ-based regimens would save between 75,000 and 100,000 lives. he includes the usage of zinc in his recommendations.
Read it and weep you leftist haters.
Professor Harvey Risch, M.D., Ph.D., is a researcher at the Yale School of Public Health with a specialty in cancer etiology, prevention and early diagnosis, and epidemiologic methods.
He recently studied the efficacy of hydroxychloroquine (used in conjunction with two other drugs) to treat people infected with COVID-19 and concluded that the approach should be “widely available” in the fight against the current pandemic.
The results of his research are published in the American Journal of Epidemiology. Describe your findings.
HR: COVID-19 is really two different diseases. In the first few days, it is like a very bad cold. In some people, it then morphs into pneumonia which can be life-threatening. What I found is that treatments for the cold don’t work well for the pneumonia, and vice versa. Most of the published studies have looked at treatments for the cold but used for the pneumonia. I just looked at how well the treatments for the cold worked for the cold.There are five studies done this way, four of hydroxychloroquine plus azithromycin and one with hydroxychloroquine plus doxycycline, and they all show that treating the cold part of COVID-19—the early part—works very well. Do you think that these drug combinations should be used for all people with COVID-19, or only certain patients?
HR: Most people less than 60 years old who are of healthy weight and who don’t have other conditions like heart disease or diabetes can get by without medications. But if anyone starts to have shortness of breath while doing normal activities like walking around at home, they should get medical care immediately. But the use of hydroxychloroquine to treat COVID-19 remains highly controversial. Why is there so much disagreement if it is effective?
This pandemic is undoubtedly the biggest public health crisis of our time.

HR: I think that there has been confusion about treating the cold versus treating the pneumonia. These medications don’t seem to work so well for treating the pneumonia. As early as possible is crucial, within the first five to six days of symptoms.
