John Vachon Paramount Theater and dairy truck, 44th Street, NYC 1943 • Zelenko Study Suggests HCQ, Zinc Effective as Early Corona Treament (PRN
[See the full post at: Debt Rattle July 18 2020]John Vachon Paramount Theater and dairy truck, 44th Street, NYC 1943
Intriguing title for the movie (Hitler’s Children), given the date…
What’s going on in the U.S. would be intriguing, if it werent so predictable…
A masterclass study in what not to due in a pandemic; classic……………
Meanwhile, The beat goes on, no?“Hydroxychloroquine’s main function within this treatment approach is to allow zinc to enter the cell. Zinc is the virus killer..”
Previous studies on HCQ seem to ignore the importance of zinc, and the doses of HCQ are rather elevated, compared to what Zelenko uses to get good results.
From the Zelenko study: “…a prescription for the following triple therapy for 5 consecutive days in addition to standard supportive care: zinc sulfate (220 mg capsule once daily, containing 50 mg elemental zinc), HCQ (200 mg twice daily), and azithromycin (500 mg once daily). No loading dose was used… Patients were not treated with HCQ if they had known contraindications, including QT prolongation, retinopathy, or glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency.”
https://www.thezelenkoprotocol.com/The Zelenko protocol includes only 2000 mg of HCQ spread out over 5 days.
In contrast, the study published two days ago used almost double this amount (3800 mg).“Hydroxychloroquine was prescribed at 800 mg (4 tablets) once, then 600 mg (3 tablets) 6 to 8 hours later, then 600 mg (3 tablets) once daily for 4 more days (5 days in total).”

(Don’t ask a stupid question about the USA when you know the answer.)Using simple risk stratification criteria, Dr. Zelenko identified which patients required prescriptions for the triple drug therapy, and prescribed these medications for five days.
Dr. Vladimir Zelenko, a New York based primary care physician, announced that a retrospective analysis based on his patient data is available to read online at http://www.thezelenkoprotocol.com. The study, which has been submitted for peer review, found that early intervention and treatment of risk stratified COVID-19 patients in the outpatient setting resulted in five times less hospitalizations and deaths. The medications used in the treatment approach were zinc, low dose hydroxychloroquine, and azithromycin.

• Coronavirus Symptoms Fall Into Six Different Groupings (G.)Symptoms of Covid-19 appear to fall into six different groupings, researchers have revealed, in work they say could help to predict whether a patient will end up needing a ventilator or other breathing support. The team say the findings could give healthcare providers several days advanced warning of demand for hospital care and respiratory support. But it could also help flag patients at risk of becoming seriously ill, meaning home support, such as an oxygen meter or nurse visits, could be provided so that any deterioration is spotted quickly and hospital attendance is prompt. At present, the team added, the average time to get to hospital with Covid-19 is 13 days.

TAE is doing great today. Catching a glimpse into the thinking of our elites.
MONEY, MONEY, MONEYThe Fed’s traditional Phillips curve approach to forecasting inflation, which relies on the theory that inflation accelerates as unemployment falls, was widely criticized during the most recent economic recovery. Inflation remained quiescent in the wake of the Great Financial Crisis even as the unemployment rate fell to 3.5 per cent, well below the 2012 high estimate of the natural rate, or 5.6 per cent.

LONDON (Reuters) – Health Minister Matt Hancock ordered a review into how England reports coronavirus deaths, after academics said the daily figures may include people who have died of other causes. The way Public Health England, a government agency responsible for managing infectious disease outbreaks, calculates the figures means they might look worse there than in other parts of the United Kingdom, according to two academics.
Britain has been the European country worst hit by the virus, with an official death toll of more 45,000. But the government has said international comparisons are misleading because countries record coronavirus deaths differently..”

Zerosum,
Every person needs wealth to stay healthy.
It all starts with raw material production. Farms, mines, wells, forests, bodies of water.
The book Noncompliant by Carmen Segarra gives a tiny peak into the corruption of the Federal Reserve. This institution is corrupt in a similar way as most government agencies: corporate capture and staffing by corrupt persons. The members of the FOMC are typically multi-millionaires who gained their wealth by participating in the looting of the economy while in private corporations.
The book Fed Up by Danielle DiMartino Booth is too much autobiography and self promotion, but it gives some insight into lack of knowledge and incompetence of FOMC members.
The book End the Fed by Ron Paul takes a von Mises point of view that a gold standard solves all problems. It doesn’t. It just switches to a different set of problems.
The Federal Reserve puts out a book, The Federal Reserve System Purposes & Functions. They state:
“The Federal Reserve Conducts the nation’s monetary policy to promote maximum employment, stable prices, and moderate long-term interest rates in the U.S. Economy; Promotes the stability of the financial system and seeks to minimize and contain systemic risks through active monitoring and engagement in the U.S. and abroad; Promotes the safety and soundness of individual financial institutions and monitors their impact on the financial system as a whole…” This is pure lies and propaganda.Every time there is a bump in the road for the economy, the FOMC prints billions of dollars and gives those dollars to billionaires. This is quite popular with the billionaires. Over the last few months, the FOMC has made a gift of billions of dollars to the useless Elon Musk free of charge.
Ending the Fed is wholly inadequate. Ideally, many current and former members of the FOMC would go to prison. A totally transparent and tightly-regulated US National Bank is needed. Every State should have at least one State Bank, and the State Banks should act as a counter balance to the US National Bank.
Branch banking was a terrible idea, as any benefits could better be had by a different system. The big banks should be broken into little pieces to be sold to the highest bidder. Many of the executives of those big banks belong in prison with the FOMC members. Banking should be turned into a commodity.
I’m struck by the black-and-whiteness of the debate around mask wearing, which is almost solely around efficacy vs risk to the wearer. It strikes me as parallel to the early lockdown debates.
It’s clear from the studies, that if mask wearing has any efficacy, it is strictly limited. And it carries guaranteed and tangible non-medical consequences, including the anti-social aspects of renedering the wearer’s face partially invisible, and of trampling individual choice and liberties by training (via coercion) all individuals to follow a centrally-ordered mandate.
As with the lockdown debates, we have those who focus on the narrow medical benefits ostansibly to be gained by masks vs those with a wider focus who – on balance – value differently.
In a rational world where fear wasn’t being pushed at every corner, and where factions were still able to dialogue, I might wear a mask. As it stands, I judge the benefits less than the cost.
New Zealand has just released it’s “plan” for Covid management in the future, and a key point is “our elimination strategy will continue”. In my mid-50’s for the first time in my life I will be voting “Tory” (or NZ’s equivalent) to oppose the shear ineptitude of this stance.
It’s clear from recent stats (massively escalating presence/spread, ever-decreasing per-case deaths) that Covid was never what we were told it was. It is highly infectious, targets a specific at-risk cohort within the population. We have low-cost treatments that are largely effective. There are multiple lines of bodily defence, including T-cells. Due to assymetric infectivity of indivuals, effective herd immunity is achievable at much lower rate of group exposure (<30%) than initial estimates (80%) projected. The virus mutates over time, such that the likelihood of an effective vaccine on a reasonable timescale is remote.
Looking at that set of facts, Covid is indeed analagous to a strong influenza. It’s not identical, but in any rational world, with the data we now have, we’d be tweaking our standard influenza-management plans and mechanisms and not perpetuating the idea we need bespoke protocols to manage it.
When I see the case numbers going up throughout the world, I’m thinking – great. Every one of those younger, healthier people becoming infected is a step towards herd immunity. Which will never eliminate Covid, but it will decrease the aggregate risk to society of it.
If anyone had said a year ago “hey, we’re going to eliminate the common cold virus” or the influenza virus via aggressive distancing, tracing, testing, isolation, lockdown etc they’d have rightly been called idiotic. Even if it were possible, the cost would always vastly outweigh the benefit.
That the NZ government doesn’t have the courage to admit that with the data now available they need to change strategy – that’s a ghastly indictment on their fitness for purpose. “Be kind” is a wonderful galvanising mantra for tough times, but it doesn’t remotely replace the need to think hard, to debate merits, to consider the long-term effects (such as how you ever get out of a self-imposed elimination strategy), and to change strategy when the facts merit it.
I truly despair of the shallow-thinking, media headline-dominated, herd-following “leaders” we have somehow managed to elect.Huskynut: thank you for that fine comment. The masks are so frighteningly Orwellian- in particular, I think of their effects on children- that one can easily see the purported remedies are far worse than the disease..
We are living in a new Dark Age (and many, if not most seem *fine* with that..).

Bill7Interesting; the mask debate seems to be a western, cultural, problem.
Here in S.E. Asia, no such debate is in evidence; masks are de rigueur.
The infection rate from CV-19 is also markedly less; and very excellently managed.
With exceptions, the western response borders on criminal incompetence…
The U.S. just set another record with over 77,000 cases for a 24 hour period.
The mask paranoia in the west is confounding; desperation and fear breeds mental health issues which are already common in the U.S..
The result of a non-existent healthcare system.
Wearing a mask could be likened to wearing a life preserver on an unsinkable boat…can’t hurt…Interesting; the mask debate seems to be a western, cultural, problem.
Here in S.E. Asia, no such debate is in evidenceSame in N.E. Asia. But much of Asia became accustomed to masks because of the chronic air pollution problem. So it was no big deal to start wearing masks for sanitary purposes too. I can understand why Westerners have been so resistant. They are just not used to it. It’s like telling a deep-in-the-jungle tribe that the women should cover their breasts and everyone should cover their genitals in public. They may hate it at first, and feel that it impinges on their freedom, but then later it will seem natural.
An upside to masks: They help thwart the Orwellian facial recognition software. Why doesn’t anyone mention this? I am all in favor of rolling back the totalitarian security state — but masks are the wrong battle to fight. Defunding Homeland Security and the NSA, and repealing the Patriot Act — these are the fronts to fight that battle.

Very good points and I agree.
As I posted elsewhere here:Shoulda, coulda, woulda, …
If, in fact, nothing can be done, and thereby no remedy; then what?This in reference to the machinations of the outlaw American empire and their crimes against U.S. citizens, both past and present…
The idea of Joe Biden being some kind of far-left Trojan Horse has to be one of the most laughable things I’ve read in a while, but also entirely predictable considering this claim was penned by somebody whose job it is to shill for Trump. The most Biden will likely do with the recommendations of the “unity platform” is pay very vague lip-service to the ideas and proposals expressed within it. I really hope this blog hasn’t joined the march to the crackpot-right that has become something of a fashion in the “doomosphere” in the last few years.
