Couple in India doesn't want their wedding to be subject to 50-person limit in effect on the ground, so they chartered a plane where they could get married in the sky with 160 of their closest friends and no masks or SD:

Only studied ~250 vented patients, of which almost 80% died. Very limited data.

80% died and it increased survival rate by 3x? Meaning otherwise 93%+ of vented patients didn’t make it? Didn’t realize the number was that high, sounds off.

The study was done in one hospital, last spring/summer, with an average age over 65 and I think every patient had a comorbidity. It also didn't raise it 3x, more like 2x. There's some broken telephone between the study, the article, and the article on the article.

Either way, the initial take on HCL, pushed by Zelenko, that it was most effective in the early stages of infection (perhaps even as a prophylactic), which is why they claimed it wasn’t a miracle cure that would get all vented patients off the vents.

They're not American companies for tax purposes. I'm not sure how that came into play for PPP and the like.
