Between COVID-19 and Hydroxychloroquine

Magnus Abe

By Senator Magnus Abe

This debate over hydroxychloroquine, Zithromax and zinc as a cure for COVID-19 is really getting me confused.

I am just trying to check out the facts as I know them. Let me start with the facts that are not disputed.

1. There is malaria in many parts of world, a deadly fever but thank God it’s curable.

2. Hydroxychloroquine, Zithromax and zinc are all legal medications available all over the world for the treatment of various ailments including malaria.

3. Chloroquine has been approved, distributed, prescribed for decades to the knowledge of the World Health Organization (WHO), and taken safely over the years by millions of people all over the world for the treatment of malaria.

4. There is now a worldwide outbreak of coronavirus disease now known as COVID-19 which the WHO says is incurable and there is no known cure.

5. We have people all over the world claiming that they got sick with COVID-19, they took hydroxychloroquine, Zithromax and zinc and they were cured.

6. WHO insists that there is no cure and so people should not take hydroxychloroquine because it will not cure them even though it has cured some others.

7. WHO allowed the world for years to take chloroquine as a treatment for malaria which is a curable disease, but is insisting that people should not take the same chloroquine for COVID-19 which is more dangerous and an incurable disease.

8. The World Health Organization is now saying that chloroquine is more dangerous than Covid, so if you have covid stay away from chloroquine, because chloroquine can kill you.

9. So we should now be more afraid of Chloroquine, than of COVID-19?

Yet we were encouraged to take chloroquine for years and we were not told of this danger till people started claiming it cured Covid which WHO says is incurable.

10. The World Health Organization says Covid is incurable so if you contact covid, you must go to an isolation Centre, get on a ventilator, die. Etc. You can do anything on earth except take chloroquine, but if you get malaria you can still take chloroquine because malaria is curable?

The facts just don’t add up. I don’t believe in conspiracy theories but this chloroquine drama is getting me paranoid.

As I understand it, we are at war with COVID-19 not chloroquine, we should throw everything at Covid including chloroquine.

Everyone knows that’s Doctors when faced with difficult cases try different drugs, I just don’t understand this sudden drama about chloroquine. Someone needs to explain it properly to me.

More than half the world uses hydroxychloroquine with great success. Using John Hopkins data we see recovery rates compared to death are in the high ninety per cent region. If you look at UK, France, Belgium et al you see recovery rates below eighty per cent which is the equivalent to unnecessary deaths to tens of thousands today and maybe millions in the future?

Europe and America have taken so long to see the benefit of hydroxychloroquine that it has already fallen to second place in cheap affordable drugs to treat COVID-19.

So European Governments, USA Government and the WHO may rightly say in the future that a 99.5 per cent cure rate with hydroxychloroquine is not good enough as there is another drug that can save even the 0.5 per cent that are dying.

The new drug is ivermectin and you just need one 6mg tablet taken once as a treatment or prophylaxis.

But worse than denying the obvious benefit of hydroxychloroquine used universally in some countries we are now seeing that even the recovered patients in Europe by wait and see are relapsing with sepsis and need immediate treatment to save their organs from permanent damage and even death.

Alongside the investigation into criminal intent in fabricating novel pathogens we need to investigate criminal intent not to help people in danger.

Medical Scientists are trying their best to find a cure for Coronavirus, and God bless them for even trying; for by so doing they are giving the world hope that they would find a cure for the dreadful CORONAVIRUS, thereby allaying the frightening alarm of the Covid-19 pandemic.
But my honest question is this: how can you look for a thing where it is not? Medical Scientists are working hard to make money, just as they did everything they could to find a cure for HIV, spent so much dollars on research but couldn’t find a cure for HIV till today. Now another VIRUS (the Coronavirus) more dangerous than HIV has suffaced upon the earth, and they think they can find a cure for it. Like I said before, God bless them for even trying, because they are giving people the hope that someday there will be a cure, thereby allaying fears of no hope for a solution.
Like they failed in finding a cure for HIV, they will also not succeed in finding a cure for coronavirus: the coronavirus is more dangerous than HIV, and the Coronavirus is not well understood by medical Scientists. Medical Scientists are so confused about the Coronavirus that they tell us different things when they give out their findings.
Just as HIV cure is in Traditional medicine, so also CORONAVIRUS cure is in Traditional medicine.
The CURE FOR COVID-19 is already in the world, but medical Science will not allow the world to avail themselves with the cure because it doesn’t meet their research standards; and it might prevent them from making money.
The cure for coronavirus is in Nigeria; the cure for HIV is also in Nigeria. IT IS A CLEAN LIQUID TRADITIONAL MEDICINE OF ABOUT 2-TABLE SPOON AS A SINGLE DOSE. It is pleasant to drink, and has no single side effect. Just three doses destroy all the coronavirus in body. God bless you for taking heed.
CORONAVIRUS will defeat medical scientists like HIV did.

There is a conspiracy about the whole situation. Dr Stella Emmanuel said she has treated 350 COVID19 patients with hydroxychloroquine zinc and azithromycin and they were all cured of the virus.This assertion irked some medical professionals.Are these drugs banned drugs have they been killing people when used for other illness? So why will they be harmful now? NCDC are not making efforts for any solution but after donors money. May God help us.
