This is a big issue because the president so heavily promoted the drug without any evidence of its efficacy. He even claims to be taking it now (Yeah, right). I wrote about the potential of hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine for COVID-19 in an article posted here on April 15th, and warned: “…but we still don’t know if it will work against this infection”. In my article posted on April 23, I presented study results that suggest that it doesn’t work and now other studies suggest that as well.
They state that “polling of doctors” shows that hydroxychloroquine is the most effective treatment. NEWSFLASH! We don’t decide clinical treatment protocol with a “polling of doctors”! We use well-designed clinical research!
Flu vaccine increases your risk for coronavirus infection
Judy Mikovits makes the claim that a study shows that vaccination for influenza increases the risk or COVID-19 by 36 percent. Wrong! The study she cites (Wolff, G.G., Vaccine, 2020, 38(2):350-54) was designed to investigate a specific phenomenon related to influenza infection. It has been observed that people who get an influenza infection and clear it get the benefit of reduced risk of infection from other unrelated respiratory viruses.
So it was questioned that if a person is vaccinated and protected from an influenza infection, are they then at increased risk for other respiratory viruses? The general answer is “no”. That is what was observed in this study, but there were a couple viruses that had a slightly increased risk, and one of them was coronavirus. But this is not SARS-CoV-2, the cause of COVID-19!
