DEADLY COVER UP: Fauci Approved Hydroxychloroquine 15 Years Ago to Cure Coronaviruses; “Nobody Needed to Die”

Dr. Anthony Fauci , whose “ expert ” advice to President Trump has resulted in the complete shutdown of the greatest economic engine in world history , has known since 2005 that chloroquine is an effective inhibitor of coronaviruses .
How did he know this ?
Because of research done by the National Institutes of Health , of which he is the director .
In connection with the SARS outbreak – caused by a coronavirus dubbed SARS- CoV – the NIH researched chloroquine and concluded that it was effective at stopping the SARS coronavirus in its tracks .
The COVID-19 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ SARS-CoV-2 .
While not exactly the same virus as SARS-CoV-1 , it is genetically related to it , and shares 79 % of its genome , as the name SARS-CoV-2 implies .
They both use the same host cell receptor , which is what viruses use to gain entry to the cell and infect the victim .
The Virology Journal – the official publication of Dr. Fauci ’ s National Institutes of Health – published what is now a blockbuster article on August 22 , 2005 , under the heading – get ready @ @ @ @ @ @ @ potent inhibitor of SARS coronavirus infection and spread.
” ( Emphasis mine throughout . )
Write the researchers , “ We report…that chloroquine has strong antiviral effects on SARS-CoV infection of primate cells .
These inhibitory effects are observed when the cells are treated with the drug either before or after exposure to the virus , suggesting both prophylactic and therapeutic advantage.
” Dr. Anthony FauciThis means , of course , that Dr. Fauci ( pictured at right ) has known for 15 years that chloroquine and it ’ s even milder derivative @ @ @ @ @ @ @ treat a current case of coronavirus ( “ therapeutic ” ) but prevent future cases ( “ prophylactic ” ) .
So HCQ functions as both a cure and a vaccine .
In other words , it ’ s a wonder drug for coronavirus .
Said Dr. Fauci ’ s NIH in 2005 , “ concentrations of 10 μM completely abolished SARS-CoV infection.
” Fauci ’ s researchers add , “ chloroquine can effectively reduce the establishment of infection and spread of SARS-CoV.
” Dr. Didier Raoult , the Anthony Fauci of France @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to treat victims of SARS-CoV-2 that he said way back on February 25 that “ it ’ s game over ” for coronavirus .
He and a team of researchers reported that the use of HCQ administered with both azithromycin and zinc cured 79 of 80 patients with only “ rare and minor ” adverse events .
“ In conclusion , ” these researchers write , “ we confirm the efficacy of hydroxychloroquine associated with azithromycin in the treatment of COVID-19 and its potential effectiveness in the early impairment of contagiousness.
” The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ HCQ was ineffective showed nothing of the sort .
HCQ wasn ’ t administered until the patients were virtually on their deathbeds when research indicates it should be prescribed as soon as symptoms are apparent .
Plus , HCQ was administered without azithromycin and zinc , which form the cocktail that makes it supremely effective .
At-risk individuals need to receive the HCQ cocktail at the first sign of symptoms .
But Governor Andrew Cuomo banned the use of HCQ in the entire state of New York on March 6 , the Democrat @ @ @ @ @ @ @ suit , and by March 28 the whole country was under incarceration-in-place fatwas .
Nothing happened with regard to the use of HCQ in the U.S. until March 20 , when President Trump put his foot down and insisted that the FDA consider authorizing HCQ for off-label use to treat SARS-CoV-2 .
On March 23 , Dr. Vladimir Zelenko reported that he had treated around 500 coronavirus patients with HCQ and had seen an astonishing 100 % success rate .
That ’ s not the “ anecdotal ” evidence Dr. Fauci sneers at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in clinical settings .
“ Since last Thursday , my team has treated approximately 350 patients in Kiryas Joel and another 150 patients in other areas of New York with the above regimen .
Of this group and the information provided to me by affiliated medical teams , we have had ZERO deaths , ZERO hospitalizations , and ZERO intubations .
In addition , I have not heard of any negative side effects other than approximately 10 % of patients with temporary nausea and diarrhea.
” “ If you scale this nationally , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The country will open again .
And let me tell you a very important point .
This treatment costs about $ 20 .
That ’ s very important because you can scale that nationally .
If every treatment costs $ 20,000 , that ’ s not so good .
All I ’ m doing is repurposing old , available drugs which we know their safety profiles , and using them in a unique combination in an outpatient setting.
” The questions are disturbing to a spectacular degree .
If Dr. Fauci has known @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , why hasn ’ t it been administered immediately after people show symptoms , as Dr. Zelenko has done ?
Maybe then nobody would have died and nobody would have been incarcerated in place except the sick , which is who a quarantine is for in the first place .
To paraphrase Jesus , it ’ s not the symptom-free who need HCQ but the sick .
And they need it at the first sign of symptoms .
While the regressive health care establishment wants the HCQ cocktail to only be administered late @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from a medical standpoint , this is stupid .
Said one doctor , “ As a physician , this baffles me .
I can ’ t think of a single infectious condition — bacterial , fungal , or viral — where the best medical treatment is to delay the use of an anti-bacterial , anti-fungal , or anti-viral until the infection is far advanced.
” So why has Dr. Fauci minimized and dismissed HCQ at every turn instead of pushing this thing from jump street ?
He didn ’ t even launch clinical @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by which time 33,000 people had died .

In connection with the SARS outbreak – caused by a coronavirus dubbed SARS- CoV – the NIH researched chloroquine and concluded that it was effective at stopping the SARS coronavirus in its tracks. The COVID-19 bug is likewise a coronavirus, labeled SARS-CoV-2.

The warning, which was confirmed as legitimate by an Official with the Brooks Count Office of Emergency Management, cites Texas Penal Code 22.05 (a) which states “A person commits an offense if he recklessly engages in conduct that places another in imminent danger of serious bodily injury.”
Of the 10 positive cases so far in Brooks County, four people have recovered, according to KSAT.
