Hydroxychloroquine + zinc sulfate + azithromycin given EARLY. Here is a reference stating the change:

Sorry if that website is kind of "over the top" but the references are there and the papers were published.

Also, ivermectin.

How does an "actual pharmacologist" differ from a "pharmacologist"?
I get a "page not found" on that URL.
_Wintermute says>"Yes, low quality papers indicating that existing drug X may be effective in disease Y get published all the time, probably several a day. Fortunately most of these are left to pad academic's CVs and don't really influence the pharmaceutical industry."<

And some of them are correct.

The article incorrectly states the nominating committees intentions: Raoult was given the "Rusty Razor Award" so that he could buy a new electric shaver to replace his old (and indeed rusty) razor, which had long since lost it's edge and been abandoned by the good doctor.

Didier Raoult before Covid research:

Didier Raoult after Covid research:

France has for many years been chastised for its failure to properly fund scientific research and Raoult is yet another example of this sad neglect. Note also that "The Skeptic" is a British organization, Raoult is French, and that this is yet one more shot fired in two seemingly endless barrages across the Channel in both directions.

Perhaps b/c Raoult's work was correct?

Studies that use HCQ+ZINC+AZITROMYCIN EARLY (in the first 3-4 days after Covid symptoms appear) and in the proper dosage have consistently shown tremendous improvement in outcome.

But most studies apply those medicines AFTER HOSPITALIZATION (often 1-2 weeks after symptoms appear), which is far, far too late for them to be effective. Other studies gave massive overdoses of HCQ which can interfere with the heart rhythm. So the studies were "designed to fail" and did.

Raoult has nothing to apologize for; he was correct and has been vindicated by other properly-executed studies.

Could not find examples of a "Covid-19 cough" on the WWW! Every link I clicked on was spammed to death and I couldn't find any sound files.

Does anyone have a link to a sound file that is a good example of a "Covid-19 cough"? I would appreciate it!
