On Monday Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, announced that the first trial vaccine for the coronavirus is now being tested. The trial taking place in Seattle, which has been a hotbed for COVID-19. The test includes 45 people age 18-55 and they are receiving two injections, one at zero days, one at 28 days. The individuals will then be followed for one year. The trial results is still months away. On Monday night Laura Ingraham reported that a new study revealed the anti-viral medication chloroquine is successful in fighting the coronavirus.

The chloroquine study only included 47 patients. We don't know anything else about the study, such as ages and how sick the patients were, so don't get too excited yet. We need to know more.

Wow. Chloroquine is an old drug, I remember that it was one of those "old drugs" that we didn't promote when I was working for Winthrop Laboratories in the 1980s. Basically an anti-malarial drug, I remember when the chief of radiology at Brooke Army Medical Center called me to his office asking if I could send him a few bottles of the stuff for him to send to some American missionaries somewhere; he had a long story about how only American-made cholorquinine worked well for the strain of malaria that these missionairies were subject to catching.

This sounds promising but needs more study. Plenty of subjects to test it on. There will be egg on peoples faces if this doesn’t work out.

If chloroquine is already known to be a safe drug--or at least the side effects are known, why not test it on thousands of ill patients? If it works, great. If it doesn't work, then on to the next one. What am I missing here?

Big deal. The existing cure rate is almost 100%. 6 days may be significant

Just a few minutes ago I heard the guy from Stanford who was on with Tucker last night say that the combination of Hydroxychloroquine and Azithromycin (Zpack) had 100% cure rate on patients in, I believe he said France. Both have been around forever and have a very high safety rating. They are also cheap (generics) and available and in every pharmacy in America.
What prevents any doctor to give it a try? Do they need some type of permission from someone? I would think results either way would be evident rather quickly.

It's been around and is generally considered a safe drug. Give it to a larger test group who have the disease and see what happens. The great thing about this is we KNOW it is safe for human use. If it works as in the first trial or anywhere near as good, it's full speed ahead. New vaccines could be a year out before trials are complete and it is available. This could be available in weeks. If in the long run it is only 50% effective, then half the people could be cured quickly and there would be some amount of less deaths.
There are about 7000 serious or critical cases. That's where we could start. Then there are about 130,000 mild cases. The rest are recovered or died. We could confirm the effectiveness in a few weeks.

Best advice- Ignore any headline that starts out "Huge!"

If it works 100% on the macro level, call it the Trump vaccine and market it around the world. Think of all the opportunities for packaging.

I'll have a couple of gin and tonics tonight. Who knows, it may help fight the coronavirus. If not, it helps in other ways.

I've been taking this for over 20 years for an autoimmune disease. It's been around for ever. According to my rheumatologist, when missionaries from England went overseas they were given an antimalarial and while there found their symptoms of joint pain disappeared. Upon returning to England they reappeared. Marvels of science and medicine. Hoping the research is correct as this would be a blessing - it's inexpensive with little side effects.

One of our very short list of antivirals appears to work against the Wuhan flu.
This is good news.
Please tell me it isn't made in China. But, almost guaranteed that it is.

Here is the link to Google Drive provided by the French authors of the paper and shared by Gateway Pundit. It is an open-label non-randomized clinical trial in which the authors make all of the proper disclaimers. Yes, this is huuuuuuge.

Especially as the p-value = .0025% in the study.

If a cure has been available this entire time, then our “experts“ suck and President Trump got conned into causing more destruction than any President in history. Is this even remotely possible? Could this whole thing have been avoided?

I have taken this drug in the past as a treatment for Rheumatoid Arthritis. It is an old and very well researched drug (originally invented to treat malaria) and many people take it for decades with no side effects. While I did suffer some of the rare and less desirable side effects, I would 100% take it again for a short time if I needed to.
I am praying that this research will result in a breakthrough for RA. It would be a miracle for the millions who suffer with this challenging disease. I believe I will see RA cured in my lifetime, this may end up playing a major role in that. God works in mysterious ways.

I'm aware that this stuff goes well with gin. Perhaps that's why I've not been infected.

Well, one side effect of these drugs is possible eye disease (macular degeneration) but we got lots of eye doctors around for that.

High dosages of Chloroquinewill give you the poopin' miseries and other discomforts to the point of nasty. Not so with smaller doses.
I took Hydroxychloroquine (Plaquenil) for years for my Rheumatoid Arthritis: one 200 mg tablet twice a day, every day, with food. Never had the slightest uncomfortable side effect. And it's reportedly even stronger, more effective than chloroquine in the case of coronaviuses.
Don't know what the dosage would be for CV19 though. But they've been using chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine for, Good Lord, 70+ years now on people like me with RA and Lupus. By now the medical profession surely knows how to buffer its intestinal effects or administer by other routes less jarring to the system. The stuff is stocked in just about every pharmacy in the world, and it's cheap. Healthcare providers and other front-line workers need to start taking it NOW as a safe preventative measure.

After reading all the responses, plus understanding that some of the population here is taking the drug regularly for RA, it would be valuable to do a survey after the pandemic is past to determine whether these people ever did develop CV19. Perhaps it is a protective drug???

The study result linked in Rigano's post does not say that people were found free of the disease. It says: "Twenty cases were treated in this study and showed a significant reduction of the viral carriage at D6-post inclusion compared to controls, and much lower average carrying duration than reported of untreated patients in the literature."
Rigano is a lawyer, not a medical doctor. The statement that he is an "advisor" to Stanford Medicine is, by itself, meaningless and smacks of puffery.
Neverthess, the study was promising.

Fox News: "Trump announced at a White House press briefing that chloroquine, a drug designed for use in malaria, has been FDA approved and will be made available by prescription 'almost immediately'." No physician needs to wait for trials to prescribe hydroxychloroquine. Bayer has now donated 3 million tablets. (https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-bayer-idUSKBN21637E) My guess is that many prescriptions have been written just today. We should know very soon if this is the cure.
