A similar decision was made for HIV combination drug lopinavir/ritonavir which produced a similar lack of results. President Trump has repeatedly praised hydroxychloroquine and in May claimed he was personally taking the drug. In a statement about its trials the WHO said: “These interim trial results show that hydroxychloroquine and lopinavir/ritonavir produce little or no reduction in the mortality of hospitalised COVID-19 patients when compared to standard of care. |

When in doubt, go back to the Blau and Holmes report given at the International Nidovirus Conference in Philadelphia, summer, 2000. In it, the authors show the time-window of efficacy for chloroquine against coronaviruses @ 8-10 hours post infection. After that, the lysosomotropic pH effect weakens and it's Russian Roulette. |
