1/ Little Thread about all The Misleading Medical Information still floating around about #Hydroxychloroquine & #Chloroquine & #Azithromycin & #ZelenkoProtocol - by 1 doctor - @zev_dr & #Remdesivir & more

Despite #TrumpIsNotADoctor has stopped saying "What do you have to lose?".
2/ #TrumpIsTheWORSTPresidentEVER

First, why it has been political all the way, suspected from day one:

"Trump had been touting HCQ for weeks, sparking worldwide shortages of HCQ & prompting negotiations with Indian PM Modi to lift export restrictions"

vanityfair.com/news/2020/04/i…
3/ #Trump2020

Indian PM Modi and Trump held a rally together.

"Mr Trump wanted to show people in the US that he was hugely popular abroad and that he was capable of negotiating good deals out of a country he once described as the king of tariffs"

bbc.com/news/world-sou…
4/ #Hydroxychloroquine & #Azithromycin

The largest *Multicenter trial* was done in Albany, NY. *600 patients in 22 hospitals*

"Acquired 70K Doses of Hydroxychloroquine, 10K doses of Zithromax & 750K Doses of Chloroquine"

5/ #Hydroxychloroquine & #Azithromycin

Why go out with this when it's not been peer-reviewed yet? It is obviously a heads-up.

"It's been tried this on virus after virus & it never works out in humans. Dose needed is just TOO HIGH, Science Magazine"

theguardian.com/science/2020/m…
6/ Again #Hydroxychloroquine & #Azithromycin

"Around 30 patients with symptoms of #COVID19 had reported serious side effects of heart disorders after taking HCQ, Martin told AFP. Also warned against other drugs such as the antibiotic Azithromycin"

euronews.com/2020/04/02/fra…
7/ Only #Hydroxychloroquine

"Hospitals in Sweden have stopped using the malaria drug on #COVID19 patients after reports it was causing blinding headaches & vision loss"

Confused? Surely they used HCQ, as CQ is not on the market in Norway or Denmark.

dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8…
8/ #Chloroquine

Brazil researchers planned to enroll 440 people in a double-blind study testing chloroquine against #COVID19

"Findings suggest that *higher CQ dosage* (10 days) should not be recommended for COVID19"

Why try high dose? See 5.

medrxiv.org/content/10.110…
9/ #Hydroxychloroquine & #Azithromycin

"A panel of experts convened by NIH recommends against doctors using a combination of HCQ and AZ for the treatment of COVID19, as associated with QTc prolongation in COVID19 patients"

This is NOT just #DrFauci !

npr.org/sections/coron…
10/ #Azithromycin, #Chloroquine, #Favipiravir, #Hydroxychloroquine #Lopinavir / #Ritonavir & #Remdesivir

"Estimators of LQTS risk levels indicated a very high or high risk for all COVID-19 repurposed drugs"

Not AZ, but "cases of TdP have been reported"

medrxiv.org/content/10.110…
11/ #ZelenkoProtocol only brings Zinc to the table, in addition to HCQ & AZ. Based on this study, which does *not* mention Coronaviruses at all, as published in 2004. In study *IN VITRO* is mentioned 8 times, while *IN VIVO* is mentioned just 1 time.

14/ #Remdesivir

Remdesivir has gotten a lot of press lately.

"The mortality rate for the remdesivir group was 8%, compared to 11.6% for the placebo group; that mortality difference was NOT statistically significant"

Its Legal Status = Investigational.

Still searching #Hydroxychloroquine #Chloroquine ?

"Medicines Agency cannot authorise hydroxychloroquine for COVID-19 if the company manufacturing the medicine does not apply for an authorisation"

"Patients hospitalized & receiving HCQ for COVID-19 frequently *experienced QTc prolongation & ADEs, including a case of torsades de pointes* with admin. of HCQ and AZ"

19/ #Hydroxychloroquine & #COVID19

"200 mg daily for 3 days followed by a maintained dose of 800 mg daily for remaining days (2/3 weeks - mild/moderate/severe). HCQ did not result in a significantly higher negative conversion probability than SOC alone"

medrxiv.org/content/10.110…
20/ #Hydroxychloroquine #TrumpMeltdown #NewYork

"1376 patients during a median follow-up of 22.5 days. 811 received HCQ. 600 mg twice on day 1 then 400 mg daily for a median of 5 days. 45.8% of the patients were treated within 24 & 85.9% within 48 hours"

"What do you have to lose? Take it!"
- Trump, April 4

Didn't want to add this.

But now #Trump criticizes the VA Study b/c they were "old & sick" - as if only with negative outcome.

Median age = 69

Trump:

* Old (73)
* Obese
* Hearth disease

Deaths / Age

2. HCQ + AZ group: 22.1% / 68yr
3. Control Group: 11.4% / 69yr

Didn't even know confirmed administration.

"Cohorts were identified based on medications *ordered rather than confirmed administration*, which may bias findings towards favoring equipoise between the 2 groups"

36/ #SARSCoV2 & #COVID19

The meta-analysis of treatment with #Hydroxychloroquine or #Chloroquine with/without a #Macrolide published in The Lancet May 22 was retracted June 5.

A NEJM article too. It was not about medical treatment.

Same obvious reason:

37/ #SARSCoV2 & #COVID19

2 Major Studies cited by press that didn't use Surgisphere's DB at all & studied #Hydroxychloroquine and/or #Azithromycin

1. Number 20 (NEJM)
2. Number 24 (JAMA Network)

More needed, so:

HCQ is back in WHO's Solidarity Trial: who.int/emergencies/di…
38/ #SARSCoV2 & #COVID19

June 15:

"FDA revokes Emergency Use (EUA) of #Hydroxychloroquine and #Chloroquine … As of the date of this letter, the oral formulations of HCQ and CQ are no longer authorized by FDA to treat COVID-19"

First 2 pages explains:

drive.google.com/file/d/1vEDT5y…
39/ #Hydroxychloroquine

Solidarity Trial was resumed after Number 36.

#COVID19 treatment stopped b/c of:

* UK Recovery Trial
* French Discovery Trial
* Solidarity Trial itself
* Cochrane Review

But not for pre/post-exposure prophylaxis.

First let us empathize that the so-called "Pfizer Vaccine" is developed by German BioNTech.

90% Efficiency *is promising*, but Self-Reported, and from just 94 Cases:

* < 10% in Vaccine Group
* > 90% in Placebo Group

Follow-up:

«Pfizer didn't accept Federal Funding, unlike front-runners Moderna & AstraZeneca (UK-SE) … has distanced itself from Trump & Operation Warp Speed» [NYT].

Deep Refrigeration at -70°C [-94°F] needed - Moderna's too.

The limit, so

* Apple app = 2.9K ratings (minority)
* Google Play Downloads = 100K+
* Apple Store Downloads = N/A

Hasn't even reached level 500K on majority OS

The App has the Permission:

AccessWifiState

It's excusable for Apps having a Setting for "Only do X if connected to Wi-Fi"

I don't know if it has such a Setting. If not, it is usually used to collect Wi-Fi's around you, for more location data

1/ WTH? @TeamTrump Campaign goes full North Korea? That App Promo Video is literally what you can expect to see in Dictatorships & Cults. #Resist #Resisters #Resistance #TrumpIsAnIdiot
2/ Not weird that the #TrumpLiesPeopleDie App uses #Phunware after seeing these slides! They're not hard to understand. Gives you a sense of total lack of privacy. Guess #TrumpCult users should be warned! ImageImage
3/ #Phunware claims:

"Ability to collect Location Data from more than 1 Billion Active Mobile *Devices* per Month"

Said in 2019 when there was about 3.2 billions smartphones in the world.

So collecting almost 1/3 per month?
