‘The Lancet’ (2003) Praises Chloroquine for Treating Coronavirus

The Lancet, a weekly peer-reviewed general medical journal and among the world’s oldest, most prestigious,reported in 2003 that chloroquine is a supremely effective drug in the treatment of coronaviruses.

Strangely, the world’s panic porn media have lambasted President Trump for making similar recommendations.

A screenshot from ‘The Lancet’ below:

The article continues:

“Chloroquine is a 9-aminoquinoline that has been known since 1934. Specifically synthesised to be used as an antimalarial agent, chloroquine was subsequently shown to have immunomodulatory properties that have encouraged its application in the treatment of autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis….the tolerability, low cost, and immunomodulatory properties of chloroquine/hydroxychloroquine are associated with biochemical effects that suggest a potential use in viral infections, some of whose symptoms may result from the inflammatory response…

We raise the question of whether this old drug whose parent compound, quinine, was isolated in the late 19th century from the bark of the tropical cinchona tree, may experience a revival in the clinical management of viral diseases of the era of globalisation.

General mechanisms of viral inhibition by chloroquine

Chloroquine/hydroxychloroquie can impair the replication of several viruses by interacting with the endosome-mediated viral entry or the late stages of replication of enveloped viruses (figure 1).

chloroquine/hydroxychloroquine can be successfully used in the clinical management of infections other than malaria. As regards viral diseases, what is clear is that the drug has antiviral and immunomodulatory effects that warrant particular consideration.”

    I believe that some people would rather die from coronavirus, than to admit that trump could have been right about something.

      I’d rather rub sandpaper on a lions ass than read or see anything else about the damned virus.
