Research published Friday suggests that hydroxychloroquine helped some patients survive the coronavirus while staying in the hospital.
President Donald Trump touted the drug in April, telling reporters at the time that the anti-malarial drug is showing “tremendous promise.”
Other research published in June found that the use of hydroxychloroquine “was not associated with either a greatly lowered or an increased risk” of death.
An anti-malarial drug that President Donald Trump hyped as a potential therapy for the coronavirus helped some patients survive the disease while in the hospital, according to research published Wednesday.
Some of those who received hydroxychloroquine before acute symptoms began were much less likely to die from the virus, according to researchers at Henry Ford Health System in Michigan. Their findings come after other studies determined that the experimental drug provided little or no benefit to people struggling with the coronavirus, or COVID-19.
“Overall crude mortality rates were 18.1% in the entire cohort, 13.5% in the hydroxychloroquine alone group, 20.1% among those receiving hydroxychloroquine plus azithromycin, 22.4% among the azithromycin alone group, and 26.4% for neither drug,” researchers at Henry Ford wrote in a report published in the International Journal of Infectious Diseases.
Other researchers are skeptical about the Henry Ford Health System’s findings. The use of the steroid dexamethasone might account for the better survival of some patients, especially those that received the steroid alongside the drug, one researcher argued in the same journal.
The study tested 2,541 hospitalized patients and found that 26% of people not given hydroxychloroquine died, compared to 13% of patients who received the drug.

“Our results do differ from some other studies,” Zervos said during a news conference, CNN reported. (RELATED: Here’s Everything That We Know About Coronavirus And Hydroxychloroquine)
“What we think was important in ours … is that patients were treated early. For hydroxychloroquine to have a benefit, it needs to begin before the patients begin to suffer some of the severe immune reactions that patients can have with Covid,” Zervos added.
Dr. Steven Kalkanis, CEO of Henry Ford Medical Group, suggested during the press conference that the drug, in the right settings, “could be a lifesaver for patients.”
Some researchers criticized Kalkanis’ group’s methods.
“As the Henry Ford Health System became more experienced in treating patients with COVID-19, survival may have improved, regardless of the use of specific therapies,” Dr. Todd Lee of the Royal Victoria Hospital in Montreal, Canada, wrote in a commentary in the International Journal of Infectious Diseases.

South Dakota has received quite a bit of attention recently due to the divorce of Ed and Marie Bosarge , which has highlighted its status as a tax refuge .

“ Is there 2 for us ?
” McSorley asked the top sergeant .
“ And he said , ‘ no , you ’ re either on the convoy or you ’ re with me.

It was so hot .
But I took that opportunity @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was surrounding me , would duck and I was able to get back.
” As McSorley searched for safety , he found another marine who was shot up .
McSorley threw him over his shoulder and started heading back .
However , now it was nighttime and he was nervous about getting shot by his own men .
“ Just as I made it through the perimeter , mortars came in and started blowing everybody up .
I got blown up.

“I was the point team for ‘My Company.’ There were three companies that were going out to meet the enemy,” he said. “I was second from point from this guy James Miller Christie. As the firefight opened up, James was killed and the two guys behind me were killled. As for some reason, I survived. I wasn’t hit, but I hit the ground immediately thinking James freaked out because of all the heavy fire. I crawled up to his body – he was dead.”
McSorley stayed there for the next couple of hours returning fire when jets finally arrived on the scene.
“I was wondering where they were and they were providing close air support with dropping napalm,” he said. “As they dropped the napalm, the napalm was so close it was robbing me of my breath. It was so hot. But I took that opportunity to run because the enemy, which was surrounding me, would duck and I was able to get back.”
As McSorley searched for safety, he found another marine who was shot up. McSorley threw him over his shoulder and started heading back. However, now it was nighttime and he was nervous about getting shot by his own men.
“Just as I made it through the perimeter, mortars came in and started blowing everybody up. I got blown up.”
McSorley later found out that 42 marines were killed in that battle and the North Vietnamese Army left 139 dead around his position.
“I had over 400 rounds of ammunition, and I was almost out of ammunition because when I was pinned down. If I spent the night there trying to sneak out, I was scared I was either going to be shot and killed or just have someone slit my throat. It was just the nature of what we were doing,” he said.
McSorley also reflected on what it was like returning home to America during a time of political and social unrest, advice for future generations of Americans, and more. (RELATED: Honoring The Sacrifices Of American Heroes: Mat Best)

thedailycaller--2020-07-04--Alex Berenson: Antibody Tests Show Rising Coronavirus Cases Could ‘Mean Very Little’

Former New York Times reporter Alex Berenson discussed the recent spike in coronavirus cases across the southern and western United States as something that may “ mean very little ” in light of the actual number of people who have had the disease .
Appearing on Friday night ’ s “ The Story ” with Fox News guest host Jon Scott , Berenson explained that “ many more people are infected with COVID-19 than have ever tested positive.
” “ The CDC recently said it was at least 10-times the number , ” he said .
“ There are other @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be 20 to 30-times the number.
” “ There ’ s definitely been community growth in the virus , in the transmission of the virus and there ’ s been spread in the last month , ” he said .
“ It ’ s also true that basically if we tested everybody on the same day , we ’ d have a massive number.
” Berenson bolstered his point by citing an “ amazing number out of North Carolina where they have been doing serology testing , widely , and they found that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the state had antibodies.
” “ Now , that translates into a million and a half people in North Carolina recovering from the virus , ” he said .
“ We haven ’ t done that on the national scale so we truly don ’ t know how many people have already gotten this .
What I ’ m saying to you , what I ’ m saying to everyone , this rise … essentially means very little if we already know that there are hundreds of thousands of people nationally infected with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ should be monitored is deaths , Berenson said it ’ s “ very reassuring ” that deaths have been fairly stable in Texas , Arizona and Florida .
“ Nationally , deaths have been going down and they haven ’ t really been going up in the trend of very large numbers , ” he said .
“ At some point , we have to acknowledge that the virus , either doctors are treating it better or there ’ s a lot of people who are being hospitalized with COVID rather than from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s Dr. Scott Atlas : There Is ‘ No Science Behind Having Children Not Attend Schools ’ ) He also speculated on the possibility that the virus could be “ becoming less virulent.
