Coronavirus: Fauci on Hydroxychloroquine: "I'd see if these work"

Our old friend (and Hillary sycophant) wasn't always so circumspect about Hydroxychloroquine.

Nor was he thinking a coronavirus vaccine was right around the corner.

No, he was still in love with Hillary back in 2013...

Obama was president.

And Fauci was faced with MERS from the Middle East.

USA Today in 2013: "Scientists fight deadly new coronavirus" (https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2013/04/18/scientists-develop-possible-treatment-for-new-sars-like-virus/2091443/)...

Quote: "We don't have to start designing new drugs," a process that takes years, Fauci says. "The next time someone comes into an emergency room in Qatar or Saudi Arabia, you would have drugs that are readily available. And at least you would have some data."

Even though the treatment hasn't gone through definitive trials, Fauci says, "if I were a physician in a hospital and someone were dying, rather than do nothing, you can see if these work."

Hmmm...

Fauci: "if I were a physician ... rather than do nothing, you can see if these work."

Yet USAToday seems to have forgotten all about their own article on the matter: (https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/health/2020/04/06/hydroxychloroquine-trump-anthony-fauci-peter-navarro-whos-right/2953317001/).

Today our friendly fact checkers say things like (https://factcheck.afp.com/fauci-not-alone-saying-hydroxychloroquine-unproven-against-covid-19) "Fauci not alone in saying hydroxychloroquine unproven against COVID-19"

The the above quote is quite true.

It's unproven (or at least you are supposed to believe it is).

Yet there's our old friend Dr. Vladimir Zelenko who claims proof it (in combination with other drugs) does work (see: https://lwgat.blogspot.com/2020/04/coronavirus-dr-vladimir-zelenko-and-cure.html).

Research (https://stacks.cdc.gov/view/cdc/3620/Email) goes back into 2005 on this a few years after the "Bird Flu" that was going to kill us all:

If you listen to Zelenko's audio in the link above it's clear he found these documents and was able to use them successfully...

Let's think about this...

1. Fauci is clear that in cases of emergency he would use it.  But that doesn't seem to be the message as far as Covid19 is concerned.  I guess he has an investment in this (https://finance.yahoo.com/news/gilead-says-remdesivir-hit-primary-124822894.html) "NIAID’s trial enrolled more than 1,000 patients internationally and compared remdesivir treatment alongside supportive care with a placebo. Patients who got the drug recovered in an average of 11 days, while those who get a placebo recovered in 15 days, Fauci said."
   
2. Fauci says in an emergency situation he'd try it, or at least he would if, perhaps, Obama were president...
   
3. It works as far as Zelenko is concerned - he claims to have successfully treated hundreds of patients.  But poor old Vladimir's not a "big pharma" guy - he thinks anyone who says but then acts like Fauci ought to face a "crimes against humanity" trial.

We also need to notice a few things:

1. No one says much, at least until recently, about the demographics of Covid19. Had they early on it's like things would be different; to wit not sending recovering Covid19 patients to nursing homes to "recover" (while everyone else dies).  Funny how this hasn't come up...
   
2. No where I have seen does anyone say much about actual treatment regimens being used.  Do Republican governors use some secret protocol, perhaps involving hydroxychloroquine and Democratic governors use nothing?  You don't see much but I have seen a few reports indicating that states with lower death rates are more open to various treatments (just like Fauci used to be).
   
3. There's probably more subtle lying and cheating going on too.  Since Cuomo sent Covid19 patients to nursing homes to recover is it really fair to count those killed by the governors idiocy as Covid19 deaths when after all he caused them? (see: https://nypost.com/2020/04/28/more-blood-on-gov-cuomos-hands-amid-nursing-home-coronavirus-crisis-goodwin/ and decide for yourself).
   
4. The moron in charge of Pennsylvania's Covid19 response is involved with the same (https://whyy.org/articles/despite-risk-philly-facility-housing-seniors-will-take-covid-patients-from-hospitals/).

See the pattern?

The early patients went into the hospital, then to non-hospital facilities so the hospital could have more room for Covid19 patients.

Of course, this created more Covid19 patients, and more people to send to new nursing homes because the old ones were infected.

and on and on and on...

Now the rest of us have a problem.

In PA 60% of the cases are in nursing homes...
