Ubiq, I read only the summary, I did not read the body of the Lancet study(sic).
BUT, I can tell you that THEIR DOSES WERE FAR TOO HIGH.
When coupled with no Zinc, gevalt!
Dr. Zelenko uses these doses in his video “My response to Dr Rubin”:
“Here is my outcome data since 3/18/20 – 3/26/20
669 patients seen in my Monroe, NY practice with either test proven or clinically diagnosed corona infection
0 deaths
0 intubations
4 hospitalizations for pneumonia – patients are on iv antibiotics and improving
As of 3/27/20 6am. As per WHO, CDC, ECDC, NHC
World statistics – 531,860 cases / 24,057 deaths = 4.5% death rate
US statistics – 85,653 cases / 1290 deaths = 1.5 % death rate
Dr Zelenko statistics – 699 cases / 0 deaths = 0% death rate
patients treated with three drug regimen
1- hydroxychloroquine 200mg twice a day for 5 days
2- azithromycin 500mg once a day for five days
3- zinc sulfate 220mg once a day for five days
CONCLUSION – TREAT AS EARLY AND AS AGGRESSIVELY AS POSSIBLE IN THE OUTPATIENT SETTING
Respectfully,
Dr. Vladimir (Zev) Zelenko”
They wrote “Conclusion: This study provides the first in vivo evidence that zinc sulfate in combination with hydroxychloroquine may play a role in therapeutic management for COVID-19.” from the NYU study of Philip Carlucci et ali-
The use of the word “may” is an unwarranted understatement.
That was a different study! Not the Lancet study.
