WHO discontinues hydroxychloroquine, lopinavir/ritonavir trial for Covid-19 treatment

Geneva, Jul 5 (IANS): The World Health Organization (WHO) announced on Saturday that it was discontinuing hydroxychloroquine and lopinavir/ritonavir arms for its Solidarity Trial, citing little or no reduction in the mortality of hospitalised Covid-19 patients.

The WHO said the decision was in light of the evidence from the Solidarity Trial interim results.

"These interim trial results show that hydroxychloroquine and lopinavir/ritonavir produce little or no reduction in the mortality of hospitalized Covid-19 patients when compared to standard of care. Solidarity trial investigators will interrupt the trials with immediate effect," the WHO said in a press release, Xinhua reported.

But the organization said this decision applies only to hospitalized patients and does not affect the possible evaluation in other studies of hydroxychloroquine or lopinavir/ritonavir in non-hospitalised patients or as pre- or post-exposure prophylaxis for Covid-19.

The Solidarity Trial was established by the WHO in March to find an effective Covid-19 treatment for hospitalised patients. It was originally designed to have five trial arms, including standard or usual care provided to Covid-19 patients, remdesivir, lopinavir/ritonavir combined, lopinavir/ritonavir combined with interferon beta, and hydroxychloroquine or chloroquine.

By enrolling patients in multiple countries, the Solidarity Trial aims to rapidly discover whether any of the drugs slow disease progression or improve survival.

    This hydroxycloroquine originally for malaria but effective for treating covid 19 but communist chinese, WHO, Bill Gates don't spill the beans as their plan of depopulation, wrecking the economy, more of same through vaccination, for communist control of the world wouldn't materialised also loss to their expensive Remdesvir and vaccination business.

    Communists want to wreck the economy so that they could lend to the countries for influence and control as they done with our neighboring smaller nations with loans to build their infrastructure then slowly incursions or surround and invasion for their total communist control. Same they are trying to control Asia and also US through internal subversion.

    Following on hydroxychloroquine from July 3rd news article on Foxnews

    "Researchers at the Henry Ford Health System in Southeast Michigan have found that early administration of the drug hydroxychloroquine makes hospitalized patients substantially less likely to die.

    The study, published in the International Journal of Infectious Diseases, determined that hydroxychloroquine provided a "66% hazard ratio reduction," and hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin a 71 percent reduction, compared to neither treatment."

    (CNN) A surprising new study found the controversial antimalarial drug hydroxychloroquine helped patients better survive in the hospital. But the findings, like the federal government's use of the drug itself, were disputed.

    Jesus on why put down the use of hydroxychloroquine and media in message to John Leary dated April 13th 2020.
    ...
    Jesus said: “My people, what you are experiencing right now is communist China’s new biological weapon to bring down America and other nations. The deep state has given China the means to make such biological weaponized viruses. The deep state is led by the devil, and this is the evil ones’ attempt to bring down your President and your economy. The same deep state people are using the media to put down the use of hydroxychloroquine because it actually cures people. Your President will need to find a way to heal people quickly so you can get back to work. The evil ones are using fear to paralyze your minds. Once this first wave of virus subsides, you may have a short time to stock up on food and supplements to build up your immune systems. Use your elderberry extract, Hawthorn, vitamin C, holy water, and blessed salt to protect yourselves from the worse virus in the fall. The virus attack in the fall may cause your government to postpone your elections. Pray for your people to be able to avoid this sickness, and heal those who are infected. You may have to come to My refuges when your deaths are many, and definitely come when your lives are in danger.
