WHO Halts Hydroxychloroquine Trial Over Safety Concerns

</time>The World Health Organization says it is temporarily halting its clinical trials that use hydroxychloroquine to treat COVID-19 patients over published concerns that the drug may do more harm than good.
The move comes after the medical journal The Lancet reported on Friday that patients getting hydroxychloroquine were dying at higher rates than other coronavirus patients.
The WHO has 3,500 patients from 17 countries enrolled in what it calls the Solidarity Trial. This is an effort overseen by the WHO to find new treatments for COVID-19. The patients in the trial have been randomly assigned to be treated with hydroxychloroquine which is a common malaria drug, or 3 other experimental drugs for treating COVID-19 in various combinations. Only the hydroxychloroquine part of the trial is being put on hold.
"The review will consider data collected so far in the Solidarity Trial and in particular robust, randomized available data to adequately evaluate the potential benefits and harms from this drug [hydroxycholoroquine]," WHO Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said during an online press conference from Geneva on Monday.
The WHO's chief scientist, Soumya Swaminathan, says the review was prompted by the article in The Lancet, which was not a randomized control trial but still large.

MAY 22: Lancelot publishes "Hydroxychloroquine or chloroquine with or without a macrolide for treatment of COVID-19: a multinational registry analysis"
MAY 23: Health officials involved in PEER-REVIEW research publishes "Remdesivir IS NOT A GAMECHANGER, Researchers Find"
MAY 25: "WHO Halts Hydroxychloroquine Trial Over Safety Concerns"
First, look at the dates of releases? [coincidence?]
Next, dig deeper and you learn the study Lacelot refers to was conducted Brigham and Women's Hospital. [Why is this significant?]
Brigham and Women's Hospital is the second largest teaching hospital of Harvard Medical School and the largest hospital in the Longwood Medical Area in Boston, Massachusetts. [Why is Harvard significant?]
On January 28, 2020 the Department of Justice announced today that the Chair of Harvard University’s Chemistry and Chemical Biology Department and two Chinese nationals have been charged in connection with aiding the People’s Republic of China. [21 tubes of COVID confiscated at Logan Airport?]
Furthermore, the study conducted by Brigham and Women's Hospital was NOT A BLIND STUDY OR PEER-REVIEWED and admittedly a "multinational registry only", therefore has little credibility!
Notice the careful selection of words too in the following which was taken directly from the abstract of the report:
Interpretation
"We were unable to confirm a benefit of hydroxychloroquine or chloroquine, when used alone or with a macrolide, on in-hospital outcomes for COVID-19. Each of these drug regimens was associated with decreased in-hospital survival and an increased frequency of ventricular arrhythmias when used for treatment of COVID-19."
We were unable to confirm a benefit means they didn't prove it worked or didn't work.
associated with means that, "associated", not the CAUSE OF, suggesting other possibilities, most likely underlying medical conditions as the real cause.
We know COVID has direct ties to Harvard and we know Brigham and Women's Hospital is part of Harvard, this in itself, should raise RED FLAGS!
The timing of Brigham and Women's release of this abstract was literally the day before the release of the findings of Remdesivir and, ironically, the WHO halts trial right after the Remdesivir release.
Logical thinking says none of this is coincidence.
They knew the Remdesivir peer-review results were going to be published so they needed to attempt to discredit hydroxychloriquine first and then attempt to further discredit immediately after.
We already know Hydroxychloriquine, when administered correctly, is the cure and preventative for COVID and most viruses.
It has worked for almost 70 years and NOBODY dies from it.
Even Fauci himself called it a "gamechanger" in 2005.
So what's changed?
What's changed is the political backdrop!
Trump won in 2016, the Dems were shocked because they thought they had it in the bad with their voter fraud.
Trump legally won the election but also proved he actually won the popular vote too.
Make no mistake about it, COVID is all about the ELECTION!
The Dems are deep in bed with China, W.H.O, MSM and others.
Their survival (literally) depends on this election.
BUT LUCKY FOR ALL OF US WE ALREADY KNOW TRUMP WINS IN THE BIGGEST LANDSLIDE IN HISTORY!<time datetime="2020-05-25T16:34:00-04:00">

The Lancet Study Used by the WHO to Stop HCQ Trials Has Been RETRACTED
The paper, published in the journal the Lancet last month, concluded that hydroxychloroquine, taken either alone or with an antibiotic, to treat patients with COVID-19 was of no benefit and actually increased a patient's risk of dying.
After publication of our Lancet Article,1 several concerns were raised with respect to the veracity of the data and analyses conducted by Surgisphere Corporation and its founder and our co-author, Sapan Desai, in our publication.
We launched an independent third-party peer review of Surgisphere with the consent of Sapan Desai to evaluate the origination of the database elements, to confirm the completeness of the database, and to replicate the analyses presented in the paper.
Our independent peer reviewers informed us that Surgisphere would not transfer the full dataset, client contracts, and the full ISO audit report to their servers for analysis as such transfer would violate client agreements and confidentiality requirements.
As such, our reviewers were not able to conduct an independent and private peer review and therefore notified us of their withdrawal from the peer-review process.

Surgishpere's refusal to transfer data to peer reviewers had NOTHING to do with "confidentiality".
It's because the data wasn't real and accurate.
Just a sad attempt to try to discredit hydroxychloriquine ahead of the remdesivir news that it was not a 'gamechanger'.
Peer-review research is the only research that should be considered.
