That those less impacted will be prioritized over those more impacted.


What makes you think that people in the developing world are less impacted?

China sequenced the virus at the end of January, I don’t think anyone was working on a vaccine of any sort at the time.
I would think other coronavirus vaccine efforts count

It would be super ironic divine retribution if His Arrogance died of a massive heart attack taking this drug.
Why is he even taking it if he doesn't have the virus? Sounds like he's either lying about taking it or about not having the virus.

India gave it to all healthcare workers as a preventative measure

Unlike what the MSM is spewing forth, there is plenty of anecdotal evidence of it being extremely effective taken early on, possibly even as a prophylactic

Early on, yes, but as a preventative measure?

Thank you. I know what that word means, but I didn't see that being true anywhere.

If anybody thinks Trump or Dr Zelenko are being original, see this article from April 17. ETA: India began using it on March 23


https://www.thelancet.com/journals/laninf/article/PIIS1473-3099(20)30313-3/fulltext


The Indian Council of Medical Research, under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, has recommended chemoprophylaxis with hydroxychloroquine (400 mg twice on day 1, then 400 mg once a week thereafter) for asymptomatic health-care workers treating patients with suspected or confirmed COVID-19, and for asymptomatic household contacts of confirmed cases.2 The document states “its use in prophylaxis is derived from available evidence of benefit as treatment and supported by preclinical data”. Although some in-vitro evidence supports the antiviral activity of hydroxychloroquine and its precursor chloroquine, there is no peer-reviewed publication that evaluates either drug for exposure prophylaxis of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Even for treatment of diagnosed cases, only one small study reported faster nasopharyngeal viral clearance, with no data for clinical improvement.

It's commonly used in that way for people travelling to Africa, to prevent malaria. There is zero evidence it works for Covid, but there's little evidence about anything Covid-related right now. Personally, I think he and the country would be better served if he just wore a full body condom.

Zelenko's stuff is from before India started pushing it to their healthcare workers.

No it's not.

You say India began using it on March 23. Zelenko wrote his letter to Trump on March 23, with claims that he had been using it successfully.
