JFC. Dr. Oz? Are you f ucking kidding me? He's a friggin' haircut with a stethoscope.
He doesn't even cite a study. Which is probably the retrospective VA study that came out yesterday with the use of HCQ by itself, HCQ + Zyth, and nothing. HCQ solo didn't fair very well. No mention on how sick the patients were who were in the study. HCQ + Zyth did somewhat better.
The best results, which weren't studied, are coming from a cocktail of HCQ, a Z-pack, and zinc. This regimen given when the patient has moderate sx has shown to be fruitful. There are a number of other drugs on the market that show potential as well. Randomized, double-blind studies are great - when you have the time, but folks are dying now. I'd much rather have a tx that has shown some efficacy rather than nothing or, worse, given a placebo to prove some other drug works or doesn't. My wife has been informed as much if I were to get this thing.
Preach it !
