America’s Frontline Doctors took the internet by storm before they were shut down by Facebook, Twitter, Google search results, and YouTube. Even Squarespace erased their organization’s home page. Below is the heart of the message they were trying to get out about hydroxychloroquine (HCQ).

These doctors had the gall to cite 18 medical studies and sources that discuss the safety and efficacy of hydroxychloroquine in treating COVID-19. Even if you disagree with their conclusions, ask yourself, are you comfortable with Big Tech having complete power to silence medical doctors that are successfully treating patients in the middle of a pandemic? (If not, sign LCA's petition to fight for their freedom.)

These doctors deserve to have their voices heard and for the free American public to make up their own minds. America’s Frontline Doctors wrote the following on their page.

There are only two things that must be considered regarding a medication: is it safe and does it work? HCQ is amongst the safest of all prescription drugs in the USA and that is why across much of the world it is sold over the counter.

Keep in mind that even over-the-counter aspirin is not recommended for pregnant women. Neither is Ibuprofen. But MD Edge writer Jeff Evens wrote (PDF) the following about hydroxychloroquine:

“The anti-inflammatory compound hydroxychloroquine appears to be relatively safe during pregnancy, according to a small number of studies totaling about 250 patients.” “Now, many physicians who treat about four to five pregnant women with connective tissue disorder each year regularly prescribe antimalarials to such patients,” and “In fact, 69% of 52 physicians who responded to a survey about the use of antimalarials during pregnancy said they continued antimalarials in pregnancy sometimes, often, or always (J. Rheumatol. 2002;29:700–6).”

It appears that taking the correct dose of hydroxychloroquine is even safer than popping a Tylenol. America’s Frontline Doctors went on to write:

The safety record of HCQ is indisputable. But now seven months into the pandemic there is overwhelming evidence accumulating that HCQ is also effective for Covid-19. There are dozens of studies demonstrating its effectiveness from all around the world. From China to France to Saudi Arabia to Iran to Italy to India to New York City to Michigan to Brazil.

This is not surprising. As far back as [2005], chloroquine (CQ) the first cousin of HCQ and previously known to be effective against SARS-CoV-1, was stated by China to be a treatment for Covid-19.

• February 19, 2020 China: “The drug [chloroquine] is recommended to be included in the next version of the Guidelines for the Prevention, Diagnosis, and Treatment of Pneumonia Caused by COVID-19 issued by the National Health Commission of the People’s Republic of China for the treatment of COVID-10 infection in larger populations in the future.”^[i]

• March 4, 2020: France: “The first results obtained from more than 100 patients show the superiority of chloroquine compared with treatment of the control group in terms of reduction of exacerbation of pneumonia, duration of symptoms and delay of viral clearance all in the absence of severe side effects.”^[ii]

• March 20, 2020: New York: 1450 patients. 1045 mild and not requiring meds (all recovered), 405 treated with HCQ + AZM + Zinc of which six were hospitalized and two died.^[iii]

• March 22, 2020: India: The country of India recommends HCQ prophylaxis broadly.^[iv]

• March 22, 2020: China: “Among patients with Covid-19, HCQ could significantly shorten time to complete recovery and promote the absorption of pneumonia.”^[v]

• April 11, 2020: France: All patients [treated with HCQ + AZM] improved clinically except [two]... A rapid fall of nasopharyngeal viral load was noted. ... Patients were able to be rapidly discharged from IDU [Infectious Disease Unit]...”^[vi]

• April 13, 2020: NY: 54 long-term care/nursing home patients received HCQ+ Doxycycline and only 5.6% died. (this population can have >50% mortality)^[vii][viii]

• April 17, 2020: Brazil: Of 636 symptomatic high-risk outpatients, only 1.9% of those treated needed hospitalization vs., 5.4% of the untreated.^[ix]

• April 21, 2020: 16 countries: “The difference in dynamics of daily deaths is so striking that we believe that the urgency context commands presenting the analysis ...”^[x][xi]

• April 24, 2020: Iran: Hydroxychloroquine ...can be potential treatment options.^[xii]

• April 30, 2020: Saudi Arabia: “Chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine have antiviral characteristics in vitro. The findings support the hypotheses that these drugs have efficacy in the treatment of COvid-19.”^[xiii]

• May 15, 2020: China: We found that fatalities are 18.8% in the HCQ group, significantly lower than 47.4% in the non-HCQ group. These data demonstrate that addition of HCQ on top of the basic treatments is highly effective in reducing the fatality of critically ill patients of Covid-19 through attenuation of inflammatory cytokine storm. Therefore, HCQ should be prescribed as a part of treatment for critically ill Covid-19 patients, with possible outcome of saving lives.^[xiv]

• May 16, 2020: France: 1061 Covid-positive patients treated with HCQ+AZM “no cardiac toxicity was observed” and “good clinical outcome and virological cure were seen in 92%.^[xv]

• June 6, 2020: France: “In conclusion, a meta-analysis of publicly available clinical reports demonstrates that chloroquine ... reduces mortality by a factor 3 in patients infected with Covid-19.”^[xvi]

• June 20, 2020: India: “Consumption of four or more maintenance doses of HCQ was associated with a significant decline in the odds of getting infected... This study provides actionable information for policymakers to protect healthcare workers at the forefront of Covid-19 response.”^{[xvii][xviii]}

• June 29, 2020: Portugal: The odds ration of [Covid-19] infection in patient with chronic treatment with HCQ is half.^[xix]

• June 29, 2020: Detroit: “In this multi-hospital assessment, when controlling for Covid-19 risk factors, treatment with HCQ alone and in combination with AZM was associated with reduction in Covid-19 mortality.”^[xx]

• June 30, 2020: NYC: 6493 patients who had laboratory confirmed Covid- 19 with clinical outcomes between March 13-April 17, 2020 who were seen in 8 hospitals and 400 clinics in the NYC metropolitan area. “Hydroxychloroquine use was associated with decreased mortality.”^[xxi]

• July 3, 2020: NY: Covid-positive patients treated with HCQ + AZM + Zinc vs. untreated.^[xxii]
• hospitalized: treated 2.8% vs. untreated 15.4%
• death: treated 0.7% vs. untreated 3.5%,
• No cardiac side effects
• 5x less all-cause deaths
