truepundit--2020-06-17--Another Highly-Touted Hydroxychloroquine Study Turns Out To Be A Joke

Last week , Lancet had to retract the most highly-touted hydroxychloroquine study to date , which was used as evidence for entire countries to change their stance on the drug .
The study , which was obviously flawed on its face ( I commented well before it was exposed that the groupings made no sense ) , turned out to be produced by a shell company , with unverified data gathered by non-scientists .
But when that study flopped , another study was immediately latched onto .
It ’ s called the RECOVERY trials and was done in the UK @ @ @ @ @ @ @ counter to the fake study published by Lancet .
It was the proof that “ well yeah , that other study was bad , but this one got the same results.
” Well , not so much .
Edmund Fordham wrote a piece on what is an emerging controversy , in which it appears the lead of the RECOVERY trial took hydroxychloroquine for another drug , resulting in a high death rate .
Internet sleuths also got to work on the very heavy doses of the drug that were given – 2400 mg @ @ @ @ @ @ @ one critic had it .
Quizzed about this , Landray defended the dosage , twice , as being usual for other diseases such as amoebic dysentery .
Say again ?
Hydroxychloroquine is used for lupus and arthritis as well as malaria , but dysentery ?
As a footnote in medical history , the older chloroquine was used half a century ago in attempts to control dysentery , but Professor Christian Perronne , head of infectious diseases at Garches , France , told France Soir that it had been abandoned before 1976 .

Police in various American cities especially on the East and West coasts have stood down while fanatical mobs of leftists unilaterally determine which public monuments and statues should be toppled, destroyed, and in some cases beheaded — as in the recent “beheading” of a Christopher Columbus statue at a public park in Boston.
It didn’t take long for the woke mobs to target statues of the founding fathers and American Constitutional framers in the past days.

President Donald Trump signed an executive order Tuesday aimed at reforming police practices in America after a series of high-profile police killings sparked nationwide protests and riots, CNBC reported.
Trump, who is opposed to growing calls to defund police departments, is calling for increased transparency and accountability for police misconduct, a limit on the use of chokeholds, and increased use of non-police personnel to deal with issues related to mental health or drug addiction.
President @realDonaldTrump’s Executive Order will promote: ✅ An incentive structure to implement best practices ✅ Accreditation to police departments on de-escalation, proper use of force, and community engagement ✅ Information sharing about incidents of excessive force — Kayleigh McEnany (@PressSec) June 16, 2020
The order, titled “Safe Policing for Safe Communities,” acknowledges instances of police abuse and brutality and the negative impact that has had on community relationships with police.
It establishes a national certification and credentialing system for law enforcement agencies; creates a federal database to track officers credibly accused of wrongdoing; discourages the use of chokeholds unless an officer’s life is in danger; and encourages Congress to pass further police reforms. – READ MORE

The owner of Car Tender, John McDermott, told KIRO 7 News that he received a call after the suspect shattered a window, then set fire to the front counter. McDermott said the suspect poured hand sanitizer on a cassette tape, yanked the film out, poured hand sanitizer on that, then lit everything on fire.

Dr. Fauci and the Scarf Lady are not the only Virus Patrol miscreants spreading the Covid Hysteria and thereby empowering the authorities to keep suffocating everyday economic life and personal liberty in America.
In fact, there is a whole camarilla of current and former health officials, purported disease experts, all-purpose talking heads and other Washington apparatchiks who continue to appear on mainstream media, peddling the hoary tale that coronavirus is some kind of horror flick monster: It purportedly just keeps springing from its Lockdown grave – whack-a-mole fashion – the instant officialdom relaxes its quarantine edicts.
Call these people the “groomers” of Big Pharma, and their job is to keep public fears on the boil so that the demand for high-priced treatments, cures and preventative vaccines becomes overwhelming. And given that the Covid is now rapidly succumbing to the exhaustion of its infection cycle and the summertime sun, their exact current mission is one of bridging the gap.
That is, finding and publicizing local outbreaks and “hot spots” during the months just ahead so that the Virus Patrol will remain in full control of policy and the narrative until the Covid makes its forecasted second wave rebound during next fall’s flu season.
After all, they desperately need these hot spots to keep the aggregate narrative alive because it is visibly collapsing by the day. – READ MORE
