Brook looked after two trial sites, and she noted many trial irregularities at both sites, such as inadequately trained staff, the falsifying and fabricating of data right in front of her eyes, inappropriate storage of the vaccines and administrators had “no training” or medical certifications, or who provided “very little oversight” during the trials and more.

But the biggest “irregularity” happened on September 14-15, 2020 when Brook says the study coordinator printed out the trial documents revealing which participants received the placebo and which the vaccine. No longer were the study doctors “blind” to the treatment status of each participant, no longer were they unbiased. No longer was this a “double blind, placebo controlled trial”, the doctors now had the means to manipulate the data. They now knew who to PCR test for COVID-19 (the placebo group) and who to not test (the vaccine group) should they be so inclined! The act of unblinding trial participants in the middle of a clinical trail is fraudulent and all that trial data should have been thrown out.

The thousands of unblinded trial participants could have easily changed Pfizer‘s “95%” vaccine efficacy to less than 50%. It would only have taken 152 vaccine treatment participants to not be PCR tested for COVID-19 to bring Pfizer’s efficacy down to zero! The trail doctors could choose who got a COVID-19 PCR test and who didn’t – an absolute flaw in the trial design.

Complaint made to the FDA

Brook documented everything, and on Friday September 25, 2020 at 9am, she emailed the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) and filed her complaint, later that day she was fired from Ventavia!

The FDA only had one follow-up phone call with Brook that happened on September 29, 2020. Following that she received an alarming call on her private phone number from Mark Barnes, a Pfizer Attorney – how did he get that number?

Whistleblower protection

Brook took out whistleblower protection, and on the advice of her attorney at the time, stayed silent from many month. Out of a sense of duty, frustration and fear for those receiving the vaccine, plus the concern that nothing was being done by the “trusted authorities”, plus the mainstream media wouldn’t touch her story, she then went to the British Medical Journal (BMJ) who on November 2, 2021 published her story – that’s when the world discovered Brook Jackson the Pfizer whistleblower – just short of 11 months following the vaccine roll-out in the US.

The post Brook Jackson – Pfizer Whistleblower first appeared on Totality of Evidence.

He joined the pharmaceutical industry, become head of a medical department for a major drug company before starting his own consultancy contract research organisation called the Association of Regulatory and Clinical Scientists (ARCS). His company employed more than 2,000 scientists, clinicians, associated health professionals, statisticians, pharmacists and health economists all involved in both clinical trial work and regulatory affairs projects, in both Australia and New Zealand. Consulting for “probably more than half of the multi-nationals in Australia”.

Over 4 decades working with the TGA

For over 40 years, Dr Altman has been designing, managing and reporting clinical trials and dealing with the Australian drug regulator, the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) on behalf of his pharmaceutical clients. He is intimately aware of their regulations and standards. He used to compile dossier’s to submit to the TGA for drug evaluation, including meeting with them face to face. Back then, Altman says, the TGA were “world class” in terms of their standards and quality of evaluation, and highly regarded internationally.

Most conventional drugs take 8 to 10 years. “You start off with 10,000 compounds, and if you’re lucky you end up with one that gets across the line.” Drug development is a very risky and expensive business, and along the way you generate an enormous amount of data. Dr Altman used to receive dossiers that were so large they had to be delivered by truck.

Red Flag Awakening

When covid began, and the well know, essential drugs like hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin were attacked, he was awakened to something wasn’t right. Ivermectin is a miraculous drug, it is widely used in Africa and is one of the reasons they’ve faired extremely well in this pandemic, despite a low vaccination rate – they used both HCQ and ivermectin.

Dr Altman turned to looking at the COVID-19 vaccines. Knowing they were a new class of drug, a new delivery system, they were “really blue sky, brave new world technology”. Historically they were investigating mRNA gene-based therapies for use in very rare genetic diseases.

These products were developed in record breaking time, like 10 MONTHS [for all 3 phases!]. They only did a single trial to get provisional approval! “Provisional approval is very sketchy approval…they had the slimmest of efficacy and safety data to support that use.”

“We’re now one and half years into this deal and there’s no question the wheels have fallen off the vaccines…they haven’t lived up to expectations, they aren’t efficacious and they’re not safe, and the excess death rates around the world are sky rocketing…and our so-called health experts have not shifted one iota in light of all this” [WATCH]

• 1) “TGA has identified 13 reports where the cause of death was linked to vaccination from 900 reports received and reviewed.” – READ
• 2) “The 13 deaths likely to be related to vaccination occurred in people aged 34-81 years old. There have been no deaths in children, adolescents or younger adults determined to be linked to COVID-19 vaccination.” – READ
• The DAEN has an under reporting factor estimated between 10% to 100%! Given the pressure doctors are under [AHPRA threat] it is likely the passive reporting is more towards 100% says Altman, which means 900 death reports could be as high as 90,000!
• [Doctors likely are not aware that any adverse event should be reported to TGA, as ALL Provisional products are part of the black triangle scheme.] – IMG
• US VAERS reports shows death or developed symptoms leading to their death, have mostly occurred within 48 hours following vaccination, “that is very strong evidence that there is a cause and effect relationship“
• Canadian Medical Association in Memoriam – “cause unknown“! – WATCH, CMA, SUBSTACK

It is obvious by now that the authorities are “willfully blind” to what is happening

There’s hardly anything that the so-called “experts’ have told us in the past, that has been shown to be true – Examples:

1. The vaccines would prevent infection and stop transmission – FALSE – breakthrough infections
2. The vaccines were 95% effective – FALSE, that was a relative efficacy in a very small group of people
3. They said the vaccines provided durable protection – FALSE as endless boosters prove no immune durability
4. Cloth masks are effective in preventing infection – FALSE – no scientific evidence, quite the contrary
5. They called it a pandemic of the unvaccinated – it’s the complete opposite [definition manipulation]
6. They said young children are at significant risk of COVID-19 – FALSE
7. The vaccine mandates have no scientific basis at all – no community benefit, yet forced on our healthcare workers etc.
8. PCR can diagnose COVID-19 – FALSE, the PCR test was never diagnostic, and high cycle thresholds somewhat guarantee a positive result. [see Kary Mullis, DOCUMENTARY].
9. Asymptomatic can spread the virus – A new phenomenon which was sold on the high threshold PCR testing – historically you’d need a viral load that causes symptoms before you would be infectious. Asymptomatic demonstrated inability to spread the virus in households
10. A “case” suddenly became determined by as little as a positive PCR result – FALSE – historically a “disease case” started with an “ill-at-ease” person, not someone who is “statistically ill” but showing no symptoms and they’re not infectious
11. The vaccine stays at the site of the injection – FALSE [Japaneses FOIA from Dr Byram Bridle]
12. The mRNA degrades quickly – FALSE – [pseudouridine means it remains for an unknown period of time – Dr Malone]
13. The spike protein is short lived – FALSE [mRNA and spike found in lymph nodes for at least 60 days]
14. mRNA wouldn’t cross into the nucleus and combine with DNA – FALSE- compelling in vitro evidence shows it can potentially integrate into human DNA, and may contain insertion codons – [see Gene Drive /CRISPR Cas-9 with Dr Merrit]
15. Lockdowns will slow the spread – yet in September 2019 the WHO published systematic review that revealed the science was not there. The lockdown concept originates from a 2006 school project. Lives and economy destroyed by this public health policy not based in science.

THERE ARE RED FLAGS EVERYWHERE

Dr Altman worked on Australian Judicial Review with Julian Gillespie et al. As a result he compiled his affidavits into what is now referred to as The Altman Report. It’s not an opinion piece, he just cites factual scientific papers. Doctors aren’t getting this information, and judges need highly technical information simplified. Doctors are only getting their info from ATAGI and other “expert” – unless they are proactively looking elsewhere. The report has been distributed widely to government and health professionals forcing them to look at the data – EXCERPT, The Altman Report – HERE, Official source – AMPS

Knowing what we know now with all the available data, its time to reflect and reassess

The media is highly controlled. We’ve learnt a lot from this pandemic. “It’s really opened my eyes” says Altman
Two years ago if you had told me this I wouldn’t have believed there was an agenda. And COVID is a tool of control.

This is the biggest medical gamble in the history of mankind

[Sept 2024 – Note that this page was not started as a timeline, unlike other pages, so many of the pre 2023 data points are not complete but are still being populated. This Sept 9,2024 article HERE , provides an excellent summary of what happened with HCQ, along with comments by Dr Malone HERE]

So why is hydroxychloroquine suddenly “dangerous”?

Some facts to consider about HCQ:

• Chloroquine and HCQ are listed as an essential medicine by the WHO.
• HCQ is relatively less “toxic” than Chloroquine when you look at the potential side effect profile.
• The patents for both Chloroquine and it’s derivative HCQ have expired, which means they can be manufactured generically, which in turn means cheaply.
• Hydroxychloroquine has been on the FDA’s list of approved drugs since 1955
• In 2005 an in vitro study of Chloroquine on SARS virus showed prohibitive viral properties when used early.
  August 22, 2005 – Viroolgy Journal: Chloroquine is a potent inhibitor of SARS coronavirus infection and spread – Vincent et al – READ
• In malaria prone countries, HCQ can be bought over the counter – no doctor’s script necessary.  In CDC fact sheet they recommend purchase before and deems it safe for adults and children, except those prone to psoriasis.
• HCQ acts as an ionophore, meaning it opens up a transport channel for zinc to enter the cell and it is the zinc that stops viral replication.
• A 200mg oral dose of hydroxychloroquine has a half life of 537 hours or 22.4 days in blood, longer in plasma.
• Experts agree that “chloroquine has a small toxic to therapeutic margin“, meaning the right dose is effective, too high and it is toxic, even fatal.
• In Taiwan December 2020 a manufacturing plant that makes the precursor to HCQ was damaged, and in May 2020, possibly 2 other plants that also make or store magnesium stearate were also damaged.  Coincidence?
• Since 1968 very few deaths attributed to hydroxychloroquine

Fact, if an effective early treatment was “found” for COVID-19:

• The pandemic would be over
• States of Emergency would no longer be ‘justifiable’
• Experimental vaccine’s would not be necessary or justifiable
• Emergency Use Authorisation or Provisional Registrations of vaccines would need to be stopped
• Vaccine manufacturers would loose hundreds of billions of dollars in profits.

Other questions to consider:

• Is HCQ a potential, broadspectrum anti-viral, in particular when used in combination with zinc?
• If HCQ is safe for adults, children and pregnant women for weekly treatment for malaria, they why is the same/similar dose suddenly “dangerous” in the middle of a pandemic, as a demonstrated effective early treatment measure?
• Why did health authorities design clinical trials for HCQ in late stage, hospitalised patients only, and at rates in excess of that used by frontline doctors for early treatment?
• If a broad spectrum anti-viral medication was “discovered” what would this do to the profitability of the vaccine industry?
• What would happen to the childhood vaccination program?
• Do you think Big Pharma and it’s “soldiers” would do everything they can to stop such information from coming to light?
• What tools do Big Pharma have to control the narrative?  Media? Lobby groups? Health authorities? Grant funding? Medical journal funding?

These are all questions to ponder as you dive into this controversial topic.  The greater number of people who know this information, the quicker a corrections can be made – assuming they do something about it!

HCQ and COVID-19

As the COVID-19 pandemic took hold in early 2020, some key doctors highlighted the life saving benefits of the HCQ drug for treating the symptoms of COVID-19 as well as potentially reducing the replication of the disease agent SARS-CoV-2.

We’ve capture their story here, along with the science and the mode of action this drug has against this virus.  We’ll also look at the focus of the clinical trials that the “expert medical authorities” conducted using HCQ, and how they determined that the drug failed to be beneficial and was deemed to be potentially dangerous.  There is so much to unravel for this drug and its controversy.

In the mean time if you want an excellent summary read this article from Jun 2020:  How a False Hydroxychloroquine Narrative Was Created

HCQ Timeline

In March 2020, Australia’s Clive Palmer through his foundation donated 32,900,000 doses of HCQ to the people of Australia, because of the positive information coming from independent doctors, virologists and scientists.

For an excellent timeline of event surrounding HCQ the Palmer Foundation website has been keeping track of since April 2020, below we’ll share our own discoveries of which there will be overlaps.  It appears the general public is not aware of much of this information.

This web page will be updated, it is set up to build the story in chronological order.

Dr Vladimir Zelenko’s Story

Zelenko “discovers” HCQ combination as an effective treatment for COVID-19

This story is a movie in the making.  Dr Vladimir Zelenko is a family doctor for around 30,000 residents in New York area.  He himself was suffering with cancer, undergoing treatment and surgery during the pandemic.  He claims to have never worn a mask while with his patients (many coming to him with COVID-19 symptoms) and he takes his prophylaxis treatment daily to protect himself against contracting the disease – by late 2020 he as yet hasn’t contracted COVID-19 but has assisted many hundreds of patients through the disease process, with only 2 hospitalisations, and 2 deaths, one with late stage cancer (as of end 2020).

It is highly recommended you listen to his story (below) yourself as he shares how he discovered HCQ + Zinc + Azithromycin combination for the treatment of his patients who came to him presenting with COVID-19 symptoms.  Listen to what he says and compare that to trials the “authorities” designed that  “proved” the drug to be “ineffective”.

Since the media won’t show you this, you’ll have to discover it for yourself.

Dr Zelenko share’s his treatment protocol for COVID-19

This video was first aired 2 July 2020 on The Highwire  which has since been deleted from YouTube.  Below is a part of this episode that features Dr Zelenko.

The Zelenko Protocol

Zelenco Protocol information with publication links and links to more videos

The Zelenko Protocol

Find the Zelenko Protocol here, the whole purpose is to prevent symptoms from escalating and preventing hospitalisation.

Dr Zelenko mentions virologist Professor Didier Raoult from France.  Over time as these two doctors communicated and they refined their treatment, Dr Raoult started to use zinc in combination, and thus decreased his dosage of hydroxychloroquine.

Dr Zelenko’s Letter to President Trump

In March 2020 Dr Zelenko wrote a letter to President Trump to inform him about his success with the hydroxychloroquine combination treatment protocol for the COVID-19 pandemic.  Just as an aside it was claimed by the media that Trump owned shares in Sanofi, one of the companies that makes the generic drug, but that was taken out of context and thus fake news.

What the media didn’t tell you

An informative interview with Dr Zelenko

Dr Zelenko’s interview with the Corona Investigation Committee July22, 2021 – Session 62

Interesting statement by Dr Zelenko: “I’ve noticed, what ever the FDA decides, the rest of the world follows”.   Why this is interesting is that our TGA does refer to international regulatory bodies to assist in making recommendations and decisions.

He talks about how HCQ went from being available to everyone under Executive Order to being thwarted by FDA/HHS EUA for use in hospital settings only – the one setting it was never going to work in based on existing experience!

“In America, any drug that’s FDA approved can be used off-label for any reason” stated Dr Zelenco (within registered dose rates)

Combination treatment has provided the best results

The combination of HCQ with Zinc, is more effective than either used alone.  Zinc needs an ionophore to help it get into the cells, once in there it works to block the replication of the virus by inhibiting an enzyme called RNA-dependent RNA polymerase also called RNA replicase (see video below).
In addition, HCQ has multiple modes of action (see Dr Shiva video below) but when used in combination with zinc there is a synergistic effect.  Zinc is the bullet, HCQ (an ionophore) is the gun or the delivery tool.

Alternative Ionophores

If HCQ is not available Quercetin and EGCG (green tea extract) are also efficient zinc ionophores as discussed by Dr Zelenko.  All the front line doctors have stated, you need to get in early, the moment symptoms appear.

How Zinc and an ionophore work together

The paper referenced in this video: “Zn(2+) inhibits coronavirus and arterivirus RNA polymerase activity in vitro and zinc ionophores block the replication of these viruses in cell culture”.

Early treatment is key to the success with HCQ

The medical establishment (clinical trials) and media choose ONLY TO FOCUS  on advanced disease (hospitalisation) where HCQ  has demonstrated to offers little if any benefit based on front line experience.  The trials are designed to fail from the outset – timing, dose, used alone, not in combination.  This is not conspiracy, this is fact.

Early treatment is where all the front line doctors are having success in preventing hospitalisation.  But strangely this information is being censored.

The health establishment are doing garbage science.

HCQ: How It Works, benefits and side effects

Dr Shiva extracts the information from the scientific literature

Multiple mechanisms of action of hydryoxychloroqine against coronavirus:

1. Inhibits virus entry into the cell by inhibiting the viral particle binding to ACE2 receptor, this leads to reduced viral entry into the cell (Vincent et. al. 2005 CDC)
2. Inhibits viral replication of RNA via inhibition of RdRP in coronavirus.
3. Inhibits viral assembly
4. Inhibits new particle transport out of the cell
5. It acts as an ionophore for zinc, allowing zinc access into the cell, which in turn stops viral replication.

(note: Remdezivir, which is still under patent and costs around USD $3000 per dose, only inhibits viral replication, meaning one mode of action)

Mode of Action and Side Effects of HCQ

Dr Zelenko discusses COVID-19 outpatient management with Dr Been

American Front Line Doctor’s Summit

The summit videos were deleted from YouTube and web host provide deleted their site within 24 hours!

Massive censorship of Frontline Doctors led by Dr Simone Gold, where she and many other front line professionals shared their experience and treatment success stories along with other literature based presentations to help get the word out about all things COVID-19 related.  Their YouTube video’s and website was taken down by the hosting company (Square.com) within 24 hours of the summit – unheard of censorship.

But they have a new site here.  With their COVID-19 treatment’s page here and video page here including their Summit on July 27, 2020 covering many topics including hydroxychloroquine.

Doctor’s experience with HCQ:

Dr Anthony Cardillo explains that in his ER, they’ve found that HCQ really only works in combination with zinc.

Dr Zelenko has published his studies to share with everyone.  This was on the original Frontline Doctors website

Dr Simone Gold – White Paper on HCQ

The heart of the “problem”

Cardiologist at Mayo Clinic in March 2020 claim QT issues with hydroxychloroquine.  Why wait for now to raise this issue, when the drug has been handed out effectively like candy for malaria prevention to adults and children? Why now?

Then comes the VA Study

On 21st April 2020, the paper titled “Outcomes of hydroxychloroquine usage in United States veterans hospitalized with Covid-19” was published.  This is refereed to as the VA Study.

The media then grabbed hold of it’s conclusions and began to shout higher mortality rates with hydroxychloroquine (1, 2) or Fox news claiming HCQ has no benefit.  Though what they don’t tell you is it is an observational study who’s conclusions have not been put into context.

That is HCQ was use on patients who’s immune system was already shot, they were hospitalised in ICU on ventilators, it was not a randomised trial, the study didn’t report the doses of the drugs used, plus 30% of the control group received a treatment that itself could help reduce mortality.  Plus one of the authors Scott Sutton received funding from the Remdezivir manufacture Gilead.  So a case of bad science, conflicts of interest and another attack on a drug that still has potential as an early treatment!

Then on 24th April 2020, the FDA cautioned the use of HCQ due to the risk of heart rhythm problems – but only for COVID-19 suspected patients, not for Lupus or RA or for malaria treatment!

French virologist, Dr Didier Raoult responds to the flawed VA study here.

Laura Ingram on US Fox News reports on this VA study

Dr Raoult’s study

Dr Patrice Harris the President of the American Medical Association claimed on CNN in April 2020 that there was no evidence to support the use of hydroxychloroquine for COVID-19.  Understanding at this time, the front line doctors were successfully accumulating thousands of case studies, they’re using rates that are commonly used for malaria, they’re using it at the first sign of symptoms for at risk patients, and they are successfully preventing patients from having to go to hospital.

Fraudulent Peer Reviewed Lancet Study

Published on 22nd May 2020, the Lancet published a damning paper looking at 96,000 patients, and concluding the HCQ group were dying at high rates and with more heart related complications! –

The “…study did not examine the QT interval but instead directly analysed the risk of clinically significant ventricular arrythmias. We showed an independent association of the use of either hydroxychloroquine or chloroquine with the occurrence of de-novo ventricular arrhythmias. We also note that the hazard of de-novo ventricular arrhythmias increased when the drugs were used in combination with a macrolide” [such as azithromyicin].

On 25 May 2020, this lancet study gave justification for the World Health Organisation to temporarily pause it’s SOLIDARTY trials on HCQ.  A fraudulent, supposedly peer reviewed study caused the WHO, in the middle of a pandemic, to stop trials because of the heart problems supposedly caused by hydroxychloroquine.

But then two weeks later on the 4th June, 2020 after doctors and scientist started questioning this peer reviewed scientific paper it was retracted by The Lancet  and the US based company Surgisphere [1] that allegedly collected the data for this study from all over the world, including Australia, was completely fake!

WHO then resumed it’s study of HCQ.

Then on 15th June 2020 the FDA revokes the EUA for the use of HCQ and CQ to treat COVID-19 and referenced the already retracted lanced paper and refers to it as evidence for their decision!  So the FDA reference fraudulent science as evidence to not use a potentially life saving early treatment drug.

A second paper associated with Surgisphere has also been retracted from another peer review journal.

Australia’s TGA used Lancet study as a reason to restrict hydroxychloroquine in Australia

How much damage did these fraudulent study do to the HCQ treatment narrative?

Who else has lost faith in the “authorities”?

Clinical trials appear set-up to fail

Must read overview by Dr Meryl Ness “WHO and UK trials use potentially lethal hydroxychloroquine dose–according to WHO consultant” – HERE

August 13, 2020 – Unbreaking Science: Dr. Meryl Nass on lethal doses used in the HCQ trials – 2400 mg (2.4 mg) of HCQ is a lethal dose. So why did key studies of HCQ use 6 times the normal dose and when 35% increase mortality occur in hospitalized (late-stage) patients did the cease the trial instead of reduce the dose? – WATCH

All HCQ clinical trials designed by “medical experts” focused on late stage COVID-19, contrary to what was experienced in the field.

The key to HCQ’s success is treating the patient early and using the drug in low dose, with zinc.  Yet the international “safety and efficacy” clinical trails were designed to use the drug as a stand alone (without zinc), and in exceedingly high doses plus only in hospitalised patients.  In this setting the virus has finished its replication, and the symptoms have escalated, beyond what the drug could hope to benefit. This is contrary to the way the front line doctors are using the drug, and are achieving a high degree of success.

This is shown when you read the paper from the RECOVERY trial published November 2020 where it states in the discussion “Hydroxychloroquine has been proposed as a treatment for Covid-19 largely on the basis of its in vitro SARS-CoV-2 antiviral activity and on data from observational studies reporting effective reduction in viral loads.”

If these health officials that designed the large scale international clinical trials heard the doctors in the field they would know that the antiviral affects of HCQ have been shown not to be enough when used alone, that it is when used with zinc that the best results are had.

Its almost as though the trials were designed to fail!

The dose rate between therapeutically effective and that of being toxic, is small for chloroquine, and likely too hydroxychloroquine.  In the frail and already sick and weakened hospitalised COVID-19 patients, how would these trial doses of HCQ make them fair?

This graph below shows the relative dose of HCQ between various treatments up to 10 days of use based on the table above.   As you can see the early treatment protocol dosage is within the common Malaria and Arthritis treatment rates, where as two of the trials conducted in sick hospitalised patients were at toxic and possibly lethal doses!

HCQ Key clinical trials list:

• WHO – SOLIDARITY trial protocol
  Published – interim
• Oxford University – the RECOVERY trial
  Published here
• NIH – ORCHID study
  Published here
• Henry Ford Health System HCQ study
  Published here

Compare this to early treatment protocol doses

•  Zelenko Protocol, Out-patient (not hospital) for only moderate to high risk patients – combination treatment zinc, azitromycin + HCC
  (200mg x twice daily for 5-7 days = 400mg in first 24 hrs, cummulative 2000mg – 2800mg in 5 to 7 days respectively, max 400mg/day)

These studies above have been highlighted because these are what the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration specifically referred to when they claimed the data shows “ no more effective than standard care in treating patients with COVID-19″.  Standard care should start at the GP’s office and not in hospital!  HCQ has performed poorly in clinical trials because it was used too late, in high doses and alone, not as a combination drug treatment.

Further still, based on these late stage clinical trials, the health officials and regulatory agencies deemed all use of HCQ ineffective and potentially dangerous!
If an early treatment was found the pandemic would be over and a vaccine would not be necessary, or at least mandating couldn’t be justified.

Australia’s TGA’s position on HCQ

The TGA claim use restrictions due to supply issues, yet the Palmer Foundation stocked us up in April 2020 with nearly 33 million doses, on top of what we already had in stock.

24 March 2020 – New restrictions on prescribing hydroxychloroquine for COVID-19

26 August 2020 – Amendments to the new restrictions on prescribing hydroxychloroquine for COVID-19

In this amemdment the National COVID-19 Clinical Evidence Taskforce  (NCCET) recommended against the use of hydroxychloroquine for the treatment of COVID-19.

Their media release states: “Taskforce Executive Director, Associate Professor Julian Elliott said the evidence indicates that hydroxychloroquine is potentially harmful and no more effective than standard care in treating patients with COVID-19.”  further “The pooled results show the drug does not reduce mortality, or shorten the amount of time a sick person spends in hospital. It also exposes them to side effects including cardiactoxicity.”

We are more than a year into this pandemic and they have not completed an early combination treatment study with HCQ, zinc and azithromycin or similar broad spectrum antibiotic.  “There are ongoing prevention trials investigating the use of hydroxychloroquine to reduce the risk of contracting COVID-19″ and they’ll get back to us.  Will they be in combination, and why so long?

Update: Dr Fauci’s emails have been sourced under FOI request

Dr Anthony Fauci, head of US NIAID in late May 2021 had about 3,200 of his January to June 2020 emails released under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), and they reveal much about what he knew.

On February 29, 2020 he was copied in on a high priority email to the vice president regarding the potential use of the cheap drug hydroxychloroquine to prophylax high risk patients.  The email even quoted the safe use rate of up to 6.5 mg/kg, a rate which Fauci’s NIH clinical trials exceeded, they used a one-dose-fits-all rate, but more importantly they used it in hospitalised patients when it was too late to be effective, and they knew it.

This is important for Australia, because our TGA referenced Fauci’s NIH ORCHID study as a “supporting” reason for them to make a blanket statement to NOT recommend hydroxychloroquine here in Australia even for it’s demonstrated benefit of early use with zinc.

• “‘On Thursday 4 June, in response to a request from the UK Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), the independent Data Monitoring Committee conducted a further review of the data. Last night, the Committee recommended the chief investigators review the unblinded data on the hydroxychloroquine arm of the trial.
• ‘We have concluded that there is no beneficial effect of hydroxychloroquine in patients hospitalised with COVID-19. We have therefore decided to stop enrolling participants to the hydroxychloroquine arm of the RECOVERY Trial with immediate effect. We are now releasing the preliminary results as they have important implications for patient care and public health. “
• Trial primary endpoint was 28-day mortality for hospitalised COVID-19 patients. “There was also no evidence of beneficial effects on hospital stay duration or other outcomes.”…‘These data convincingly rule out any meaningful mortality benefit of hydroxychloroquine in patients hospitalised with COVID-19″

‘Hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine have received a lot of attention and have been used very widely to treat COVID patients despite the absence of any good evidence. The RECOVERY Trial has shown that hydroxychloroquine is not an effective treatment in patients hospitalised with COVID-19. Although it is disappointing that this treatment has been shown to be ineffective, it does allow us to focus care and research on more promising drugs.” [remdesivir?]

• Note COVID-19 was self reported by patient and not PCR confirmed [as far as I can tell] the trial objective was to “to prevent disease” i.e. any symptoms, not hospitalisation or death!
