CNN Admits New Study Shows Hydroxychloroquine Has ‘Helped Coronavirus Patients Survive Better’

WE FREAKING TOLD YOU SO. THOUSANDS OF DOCTORS TOLD YOU SO. TRUMP TOLD YOU SO.

CNN is reporting that a “SURPRISING” new study proved something we have been telling you from the beginning. The antimalarial drug hydroxychloroquine helped patients to survive hospitalization.

Well, lah dee freakin’ dah. CNN spent the last four months telling us that if we took hydroxychloroquine we would surely die. They used this to make fun of Trump’s intelligence. A long-time Democrat donor tried to pin her murdering her husband on Trump’s touting of the drug.

The CNN report says that a study conducted at Michigan’s Henry Ford Health System (HFHS) said, “Of the 2,541 hospitalized patients [the study] found that those given hydroxychloroquine were much less likely to die.”

We told you so.

From the same report, Dr. Marcus Zervous (head of infectious disease for HFHS) said that only 13% of COVID+ patients who took hydroxychloroquine died compared to the 26% of patients who died without the drug.

The study results:

Of 2,541 patients, with a median total hospitalization time of 6 days (IQR: 4-10 days), median age was 64 years (IQR:53-76 years), 51% male, 56% African American, with median time to follow-up of 28.5 days (IQR:3-53). Overall in-hospital mortality was 18.1% (95% CI:16.6%-19.7%); by treatment: hydroxychloroquine + azithromycin, 157/783 (20.1% [95% CI: 17.3%-23.0%]), hydroxychloroquine alone, 162/1202 (13.5% [95% CI: 11.6%-15.5%]), azithromycin alone, 33/147 (22.4% [95% CI: 16.0%-30.1%]), and neither drug, 108/409 (26.4% [95% CI: 22.2%-31.0%])​. Primary cause of mortality was respiratory failure (88%); no patient had documented torsades de pointes. From Cox regression modeling, predictors of mortality were age>65 years (HR:2.6 [95% CI:1.9-3.3]), white race (HR:1.7 [95% CI:1.4-2.1]), CKD (HR:1.7 [95%CI:1.4-2.1]), reduced O2 saturation level on admission (HR:1.5 [95%CI:1.1-2.1]), and ventilator use during admission (HR: 2.2 [95%CI:1.4-3.3]). Hydroxychloroquine provided a 66% hazard ratio reduction, and hydroxychloroquine + azithromycin 71% compared to neither treatment (p < 0.001).

Mortality Rates:

• Hydroxychloroquine:13.5%
• Hydroxychloroquine + azithromycin: 20.1%
• Azithromycin: 22.4%
• Neither Drug: 26.4%

I cannot believe that they lied to us about Hydrochloroquine just to prove the President wrong.

How many lives were lost because of it?

I told you for months that hydroxychloroquine was effective against COVID-19.

Dr. Fauci and the CDC said that it was not only ineffective, but dangerous.

Now, the science has proven me right.

We must use facts and science rather than politics.

Why would Fauci have done this?

This was a political hit job, and publications like CNN should be held accountable for their constant false reporting.
