In the early part of the pandemic, many people charted the emerging picture of high Covid-19 death rates in developed countries with a large pharmaceutical industry presence (whose governments generally opposed HCQ) and low rates in poorer countries (that already used HCQ or were quick to adopt it). This resulted in a number of comparative analyses. Summary (i) An analysis by the group Americas Frontline Doctors by country, showed that access to HCQ was strongly linked to lower Covid-19 mortality. (ii) A worldwide country comparison generated automatically by the website…

Read MoreAccinelli – completing the picture
As noted, 30+ other studies strongly indicate the merits of treating Covid-19 early with Hydroxychloroquine. One notable study not on the list provides quantification and important wider context. Accinelli et al, Hydroxychloroquine / azithromycin in COVID-19: The association between time to treatment and case fatality rate https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1477893921002040 Summary of importance The Accinelli study has relevance as yet another basic hydroxychloroquine Covid-19 early treatment study. So why is it not on the list? It’s because everyone in the study received HCQ. It has much wider relevance because it studied the effect…
Read MoreSome Main Studies
Virtually all of the 31/32 studies of early treatment using hydroxychlorquine had positive primary outcomes. In a sign test, if in reality HCQ had no benefit, the odds this happening is billions to one against. 14 of the outcomes were statistically significant. Here are some of those studies, borrowing from the useful descriptions of c19study.com: Sulaiman et al. “This observational prospective cohort study took place in 238 ambulatory fever clinics in Saudi Arabia, which followed the Ministry of Health (MOH) COVID-19 treatment guideline. This guideline included multiple treatment options for…

Probably no drug has ever attracted such intense controversy as hydroxychloroquine in the Covid-19 era. Yet the evidence for its efficacy in treating Covid-19 at the early stage is straightforward. Virtually 100% of early treatment studies have recorded benefit from the drug. Accordingly, the controversy over early HCQ treatment has not arisen because of any insufficiency in the evidence. As the existence of this evidence is our first Stubborn Truth it’s worth a look to see what it consists of.Below is a list of all the studies that examined the…
Read MoreAmazon secretive about number of workforce Covid-19 cases
This revelation follows months during which the management evaded, ignored and refused to meet demands by rank-and-file workers for the release of this information. https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/nintchdbpict000005203320.jpg?w=620 In a statement on April 23, the World Socialist Web Site’s International Amazon Workers Voice urged workers to form rank-and-file committees to demand the release of infection statistics at Amazon as a question of basic safety, pointing out that the company “systematically refuses to provide information to workers as to the number of cases” of workers who have gotten sick. In the intervening months, workers…

September 28, 2020 President Trump announced that he will nominate Judge Amy Coney Barrett to fill the Supreme Court vacancy left by the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

Current state of the scientific and political debate about EMF-related health problems from a medical perspective Introduction The Environmental Burden of Disease Project assessed the influence of nine environmental stressors (benzene, dioxins including furans and dioxin-like PCBs, secondhand smoke, formaldehyde, lead, noise, ozone, particulate matter and radon) on the health of the population of six countries (Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, and the Netherlands). Those nine environmental stressors caused 3%–7% of the annual burden of disease in the six European countries (1).
