Hydroxychloroquine, remdesivir fail to improve COVID-19 outcomes in study
h/t Instapundit --> UPI --->UPIJuly 12 (UPI) -- Neither remdesivir nor hydroxychloroquine boosts recovery in patients hospitalized with COVID-19, according to the findings of a clinical trial led by the World Health Organization, and published Monday by the Annals of Internal Medicine. Nearly 8% of patients treated with hydroxychloroquine and just over 7% of those given remdesivir died in the hospital, the data showed. In comparison, between 4% and 7% of those who received "standard care" -- typically treatment with steroids and other drugs to reduce inflammation and manage respiratory symptoms -- died during their hospital stay, the researchers said. Similarly, 10% of those given remdesivir and 15% of those who received hydroxychloroquine required mechanical ventilation to breathe, compared with 7% to 11% of those treated with standard care, they said. For a true, non-vaccine cure to COVID try the following folk remedy (1) Mix wasabi powder with jalapeno tabasco until you obtain a uniform slurry. (2) Fill a turkey buster with the slurry. (3) Inject it into the digestive tract from the alimentary end. Posted by: g(r)omgoru 2021-07-14 |
