Uncover DC: Medical Misinformation, Part 1: Hydroxychloroquine
Dr. Zelenko, during his interview with Steve Bannon, said his protocol provides a 95% reduction in death, that France used a similar protocol and had an 88% reduction in death.

This study focuses on anti-malarial drugs like hydroxychloroquine, which have been seen as the most used treatment for COVID-19

A patient at the Amiens University Hospital who presented symptoms of the Covid-19 coronavirus was administered hydroxychloroquine-based treatment.
To increase the effectiveness of treatments and results, researchers need to give greater focus, when designing trials and when extrapolating from them.
Chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine, with an original indication to prevent or cure malaria, have been successfully used to treat several infectious diseases.
Scientific evidence also supports the use of CQ and HCQ in the treatment of cancer.
Here, we summarize the results or design of clinical studies recently completed or initiated to evaluate the therapeutic activity of chloroquine derivatives in cancer patients.
HCQ reduces lipopolysaccharide/TLR-mediated immune activation; this compound could be a useful immunomodulant in HIV-infected patients.
This suggests that intracellular Zn2+ levels affect a common step in the replicative cycle of these viruses.
The anti-HIV effect of chloroquine/hydroxychloroquine is modest by itself but is additive or synergistic when combined with selected antiretrovirals.
