[You're Trumped] Hydroxychloroquine found to reduce risk of Covid-19 infection: S'pore study

[homer123]

Using a throat spray or consuming the anti-malaria drug hydroxychloroquine has been found to reduce the risk of Covid-19 infection in healthy individuals in areas with high transmission rates.

These findings were revealed by a local study of more than 3,000 healthy young migrant workers who were quarantined in Tuas South Dormitory in May last year.

The study found that taking a povidone-iodine throat spray three times a day, or the oral drug hydroxychloroquine once daily, reduced the likelihood of getting infected by Sars-CoV-2, the virus that causes Covid-19, by over 20 per cent.

The study was done by a team of clinician-scientists from the National University Health System (NUHS), led by Associate Professor Raymond Seet, a senior consultant in the division of neurology at the department of medicine in National University Hospital (NUH).

The researchers included infectious diseases experts Professor Paul Tambyah and Associate Professor Alex Cook, as well as Dr Amy Quek and Associate Professor Mikael Hartman.

Prof Seet said: "Dr Quek, Prof Hartman and I were early volunteers of the dormitory mission where we ran medical posts, swabbed and screened residents with infection who may require hospital care.




"At the start of the outbreak, the numbers of dorm infections were simply overwhelming. That was when we got together with Prof Tambyah and Prof Cook to come up with the idea of running a study, all with the overarching aim to help ease the burden on our healthcare system."

Repurposing accessible existing drugs such as povidone-iodine and hydroxychloroquine is a practical way to curb the spread of the virus, especially in regions where Covid-19 is rampant, said Prof Seet.

The throat spray can be bought over the counter at pharmacies while hydroxychloroquine will require a doctor's prescription.

A total of 3,037 asymptomatic healthy young men with an average age of 33, who produced a negative serology test result indicating no prior exposure to the virus, were studied.


These dormitory residents were mostly from India and Bangladesh.

The men were split into five groups, with each group given one of the following for six weeks: vitamin C (control group), zinc and vitamin C, the povidone-iodine throat spray, hydroxychloroquine or ivermectin.

At that time, Covid-19 clusters were still rampant in Singapore's dormitories, and residents were isolated or quarantined in their rooms which they shared with other residents.

After six weeks, blood samples were collected and analysed for their antibody response to Sars-CoV-2.

It was found that 70 per cent of those in the vitamin C group had been infected, while 46 per cent of those in the povidone-iodine throat spray group and 49 per cent of workers in the hydroxychloroquine group were infected with the virus.

Spore is very smart to use migrant workers to experiment the various drugs

Bleach is best. Sure to cure

Did they test using bleach?

The thing about Trump is that he will hear a bit of what the scientists say and take it as gospel truth. Of course bleach and UV will kill covid. But he doesn't bother to read the whole thing and jumps to the conclusion that you could drink bleach etc. So same with the hydroxychloroquine. He only heard a bit but doesn't bother to see in what context it works.

This is why a little knowledge can be a very dangerous thing

Lol...you are sounding like a conspiracy theorist...

 

[Toiletpaper80]

trump got framed


.

 

[whitecabbage]

Going by how expert our "experts" really are...i will take these studies with a pinch of salt

 

[Suporter]

So when will the testing come to fruition?

Paul Tambyah wor... even though he also say healthy no need wear mask. But he ish recommended to lead US based infectious disease ngo from next year leh.

This point is largely distorted by the media as he did not ask ppl to drink bleach. He asked scientists to research why bleah and UV can kill covid and how this can be applied to the human body.

I don't like Trumpet but this a win for him here.

And while he is a big troll, I firmly believe he doesn't do things to himself nily wily. Sure got people advise him to take certain treatment one.

After all he can afford to have his own helm of doctors.

Amazing how we had such low expectation of the President back then.

 

[pm_me_ur_noods]

yea, because bleach can never be confused for disinfectant, not having a brain is bad for your brain

Hope ur IVM save the world........in your dreams! Lol!

How to trust your sources? all siao lang doctors.

https://www.factcheck.org/2021/04/s...ess-claims-about-safety-of-covid-19-vaccines/
This Ryan Cole made mani big claims - Vitamin D can prevent all flu, all virus work similarly & IVM can prevent it. Why not use ivm to cure some of the existing incurable viral infections. See whether it works or not?

That factcheck article is typically vilifying HCQ n Vit D3 in addition to IVM - what is new ?

Take it or leave it
I hv read/seen enough from MedCram - Dr John Campbell - GrassrootsHealth - etc - to make up my own mind on the efficacy of Vit D3 in the most optimal "Covid19 Immunity Combi" which I am convinced to take myself
Ie Vits D3-C-K2(MK7) + ZINC + Mg .....
It is no co-incidence that Zinc plays significant crucial role in covid immunity/fight - also crucial in vilified Zelenko's HCQ Protocols !
As I read more etc the dots connect more n I make more AHA moments - the latest being Vit K2(MK7)'s role in the overall grand scheme of the Optimal Nutrient Metabolism n Immunity - Symbiosis etc etc

I DO tend to side with "conspiracy theorists"
As it tells me there are obvious agendas/COI etc why these ppl or therapies are deliberately suppressed/vilified or silenced/bullied etc ....

I share what I feel are important snippets
(not guaranteeing 100% truth etc ...like the current vaccines too ...NO 100% Perfection etc)
I am happy with >75% !

I mean Come On Man
You are saying
All those docs etc using IVM are all siao langs in their bid to save lives n uphold the Hippocratic Oath ???
Those Frontline n FLCCC docs plus those in South Africa n other countries using IVM ???
If doing so saves lives I don't care what you insist on calling them then - it is YOUR own loss n ignorance then

 

[kaypohchee]

Who is NOT saving lives refusing to allow IVM use

Read the comments

 

[lala24]

Simple fact - if drinking bleach had saved lives instead of those who drank and kena poisoned or died, why didnt other Scientists around the world supported it?

only dumb Trump supporters bought his unscientific lies
