1/ Korea posted their treatment guidelines utilizing hydroxychloroquine as a treatment for covid-19 on Feb 13th.
China's Head of Biotech said that chloroquine was selected out of tens of thousands of drugs as the most effective treatment on Feb 17th. https://twitter.com/cryptonephilim/status/1242537126261977088

2/ Here is case fatality rate in countries that have been treating Covid-19 early with hydroxychloroquine compared to the world average.
I recommend you follow @niro60487270 for all of this info.

3/ Here is the case fatality rate in Marseilles where ~3000 patients have been treated with hydroxychloroquine + azithromycin.
In Marseille, the mortality rate is 1.5% for those treated late and 0.4% for those treated early compared to the global mortality rate of ~6%.

4/ Italy announced that they would begin mass treatment with Hydroxychloroquine on March 29th.
This coincides with the peak of their deaths per day.

5/ Bahrain began using hydroxychloroquine two days after the first case of Covid-19 was discovered there in February.
They did this based on "notable success in China and South Korea."
Now they have one of the lowest case fatality rates in the world.

9/ Now, the media is widely reporting in unison on a faulty study that was released yesterday.
Here is a link to that study: https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.04.10.20060699v1.full.pdf
Does this look coordinated?

10/ How does the media decide which drugs are "hopeful" and which are a "false hope"?
A tale of two drugs by the Washington Post.
Both articles refer to studies without randomized control groups.
The remdesivir article doesn't mention that it was funded by Gilead.

1) No dosages were provided
2) No information on the severity of the patients
3) No information on when they began treatment
4) 100% not randomized for comorbidities

14/ Dr.Didier Raoult's response:
1) Lymphopenia is twice as common in the HCQ groups
2) HCQ was used after patients were already severe & intubated
3) The control group actually received azithromycin in 30% of cases and eight were treated with HCQ

15/ And how does the media report on this blatantly flawed study?
How bout Italy turning it's death rate around?
How bout Costa Rica, Bahrain, and other countries with the lowest mortality rates using hydroxychloroquine?
Or the success in Marseille or South Dakota?

16/ This will be a compilation of the various anecdotal stories of hydroxychloroquine success.
The fact is that the FDA and media are now discouraging randomized controlled trials of hydroxychloroquine based on the non-randomized retrospective UVA study. This is disturbing.

17/ CNN: "We discourage the use of hydroxychloroquine."
Cuomo Family: We have been taking quinine (hydroxychloroquine is a derivative of quinine) and zinc as well as "bleach bubble baths" for our covid19 treatment protocol. https://thepuristonline.com/2020/04/the-cuomos-corona-protocol-week-3/

18/ The majority of these will be pulled from @niro60487270. I'm organizing it all in a thread because what the media and certain government institutions are doing is beyond disgusting.
Add Greece to the list of countries using hydroxychloroquine. https://twitter.com/Covid19Crusher/status/1254181867101859845

19/ Breaking ranks with the rest of Canada, New Brunswick is having success with early use of hydroxychloroquine. https://twitter.com/Covid19Crusher/status/1254186108784644096
20/ Blue check marks showing their ignorance or willfully misleading the public. If you check the comments, they've been bombarded with the fact that South Korea has been using hydroxychloroquine since early February in their official treatment protocol. https://twitter.com/RBReich/status/1254189038275182592
21/ You can find the truth about the low risk profile of hydroxychloroquine if you look it up on the CDC website.
Nonetheless, I still hear major media figure and even
@joerogan repeating the media's narrative that it's dangerous and kills.

23/ Australia has widely made hydroxychloroquine available for doctors to treat covid19 patients and also has a much lower fatality rate than the world average. https://twitter.com/i/status/1253886795688710146
24/ All studies that are using hydroxyhcloroquine as a late treatment are meant to fail. We already know that it is only effective when used early. India is now giving it to non-diagnosed family members of covid19 patients. https://twitter.com/niro60487270/status/1253356106543333378
25/ It's amazing that the media and politicians have turned potential treatments into a political issue. Here politicians vote to censure their own political party member, Rep. Karen Whitsett, for saying hydroxyhcloroquine saved her life. https://twitter.com/niro60487270/status/1253548566615744512
