Virus: Biggest Ever Trial on HCQ+AZ+Zinc Cure (3.700 Patients) Found World-Record Survival: 99,5 % !
*Strasbourg/Angelo Marcopolo/- In the Biggest Trial Study of HCQ+AZ+ against the Virus, just Concluded this Month, among about 3.700 Patients (i.e. the Larger Ever in the World in that area, until now), the Mortality Rate was Only ...0,5%, giving a Global Record-Breaking Survival Rate of 99,5%, as Announced Today French Professor Dr. Didier Raoult, an Experienced and Famous Infectiologist/MicroBiologist Expert, CEO of Mediterranean and Infection Hospitalo-Universitarian Institute (IHU) at Marseille City, who had been already EnTrusted by Historic French President Jacques Chirac (a Gaullist) to daft a 1st Report for the Strategy of the Country's Protection from any foreseable Risk of Epidemic, already, as Early as since the Beginning of 2000ies, (just After the SARS-1 Virus of 2003+).
- Moreover, among those circa 3.700 Patients "retrospectively", treated with HCQ+AZ+ Nowadays, "we NEVER Observed Any CARDIAC Death and Toxicity", it was added by the Two main Leaders of that New Trial, (D. Raoult and Matthieu Million), where "7.800 ECG were made" on all those Patients, by measure of Precaution.
+ Already, with "ZERO (0) Deaths" of People Infected by the COVID-19 Virus "before 70 Years of Age", and just 8 Deaths among Only those Aged "74 to to 95 Years", in a CHQ+ Trial with More than 1.060 Patients, Concluded Previously, at the End of March, and Published at a Scientific Review on May 5, 2020, the Results appeared very Positive, (See Also Infra).
Such Landmark Results also have a Key Importance for Crucial and Topical Issues of International Health Strategy at Global Level, Nowadays :
- Indeed, the International Health Organisation (WHO), at Nearby Geneva, had Chosen, Among about 50 Various Candidates, ("Based on Evidence from Laboratory, Animal, and [Human] Clinical Studies"), the HCQ+ as 1 Among the 3 Best "Most Promising" Candidate Drugs in the World Deserving to be Tested by its Research Program for Medical Treatment against the CoronoVirus, ("Solidarity"), with 108 Millions $ Funding and about 3.500 Patients from 17 Countries.
Competitors are Only "Remdesivir" (a Failed attempt Initially v. Ebola in Congo, where it did Not work, while Other Drugs did, But Later reportedly used in Animals v. SARS-1, Needing an IntraVenous, and Expensive, Based on Genetic Manipulations expected to Block Virus' Replication, and Backed by "Gilead" Big Pharma Corporation, holding its Patent) ; and "Lopinavir"'s Combinations, (Initialy destinated to "HIV", with "Ambiguous" Results v. SARS-1 or MERS, and "Not Encouraging" First Trials v. COVID-19, it may cause "Significant" Liver Damage, But is now Tested v. MERs in Saudi Arabia).
=> So that HCQ+ appeared, until now, to be, comparatively, the Best Hope for the World Health Organisation. A Succesful Drug already against Malaria and Arthritis, Used withOut Problem Since the 2nd World War, now a "Generic", Cheap and Simple Pill, it Might Protect Cells from Virus' Attacks, Strengthening the Natural Human Immune System, But it must Avoid Side Effects, with right Precautions. About 20 Chinese Studies reportedly were Succesful against this Virus, But a Lack of Full Published "Data" was reported, with the Exception of French Professor Raoult's Tests, that Some considered Initially "InSuficient", until his Recent Work, (which, therefore, has a Crucial Importance Nowadays).
>>> Even More Important, World-wide : It's a Fact that the WHO has, Until Now, practicaly Excluded Vaccines from its above-mentioned International Research projects, Focused Only on Treatments and Cure, (Comp. Supra), mainly Because of a "Need for Speed", in order to "Reduce the Time" usually taken by Vaccines' testing, (may be 1 or 1,5 Year+), given the Urgency in this Deadly Virus' Crisis. In Consequence, (and given also the Facts cited Supra), at least Until Now, Serious HCQ+ Trials appeared to be, in Practice, probably the Only attainable Hope to Find a way to Urgently Save currently Threatened Human Lives throughout the Planet !
--------------------------------
In this Context, Previously, Trials with HCQ+AZ+ by Prof. Raoult, concluded at the End of March, had Resulted Already High enough, with a 99,1 % Survival rate. But the New Overall Results, which just Concluded on this May, (Including Almost Four Times More Patients : See Infra), Reached an Even Higher Survival rate : 99,5 % (i.e., by Far, the Best in the World) !
--------------------------------
Professor Raoult's team had Initialy Tested 36 Patients, Afterwards 80, and Later 1.061, whlle Recent Rumours evoked anew a Doubling of the Number of Patients for a New, Bigger Trial, (i.e. about 2.000). But, Finaly, he Revealed Today that it had just reached, Nowadays, almost a ...Quadripling in Tests, with about 3.700 People Affected by that Deadly Virus !
=> By so doing, obviously, this French Team largely Slamed the Accusations made Recently by a Bogus "Study", led by Dr. Mandeep Mehra, an Indo-Pakistani Cardiologist (sic !) at "Brigham and Women's Hospital" (USA), curiously Published by "LANCET" UK Review, with a Controversial Text, (Only Based on Remote, Automatic retrieval of Registry Data, by Computers' Networks, from 671 Hospitals in 6 Continents of the World, stained by at least 11 Gros Flaws ! See: http://www.eurofora.net/newsflashes/news/bogusmoveagainsthcqdrugvvirus.html), Claiming that the pro-HCQ/AZ Scientists (as Raoult etc) would have been based Only on some ..."Anecdotal Experiences" and "Small Scale Studies" (sic !) for their Theories...
But, Already, Their "6.221" copied Case-Files reportedly Registered as Including HCQ+AZ+ Treatments, in fact, are Not Equivalent to that, but Only in 1/2 or 1/3 of cases, since they doN't concern Only Azythrimycine but Also Any Other among such " " Category of substances, of which there are 2 or 3, etc... So that, in Fact, Only some 3.110 or even just 2.070, (Perhaps Less) Might concern Professor Raoult's HCQ+AZ Protocol !
=> I.e., a Smaller amount of strictly "Virtual" Data Remotely and Automatically Retrieved by Computer Networks, than the "More than 3.700 Patients", in Real Physical Cases, Directly Observed and Treated by Prof. Raoult's team Nowadays...
--------------------------------
- Indeed, "we made a Very, very Big Study, with More than 3.600 Patients, which Allows us to have a sufficiently Clear View of what is going on", Professor Raoult Announced Today.
- "Most of them were Treated by Associating CHQ + AZ, and, among them, Mortality is O,5%, that is to say, the Lowest in the World !", he stressed.
=> - "So, ...Here, HCQ+ Saves Many Lives !", he Concluded.
+ Advancing (for the 1st Time), even towards a Control Group approach, he Pointed out that, "By Comparing also with Other Groups" of Patients, "who Came Too Late, Walked Out, or had Counter-Indications, because of their Coditions and Age, etc., so that they were UnAble to receive that HCQ+AZ Treatment, which gives Better Results, but Only got Other, Ordinary Treatments, there was a very Significant Difference"..., and "that's Interesting".
The "HCQ-AZ" Group included more than 3.000 Patients, while more almost 700 were "treated with Other Methods", he added later-on.
=> "Early Diagnosis, ...and Early Treatment, with at least 3 Days of HCQ-AZ, Result in a Significantly Better clinical Outcome", "with a Decreased risk of Transfer to the (Intensive Care) ICU, or Death , ..., Decreased risk of Hospitalization ≥10 days", ... and Shorter Duration of Viral shedding", (ibid).
++ And, Now, "we Know that some things which (in the Past) had been UnderEstimated, as, f.ex., the ZINC", in fact, "Play a Role in the Severity" of cases, "f.ex. People who have a Severe Pathology, have Lower Zinc Rates than Others, in addition, also, to Other Things, too, which were, meanwhile, registered".
+++ However, "we made also", in Total, "More than 10.000 Electro-Cardio-Grams (ECG), and All were Examined by a Cardiologist", so that there wasN't any Heart Incident here at all, he pointed out. - "By the way", with the due care, "HCQ may affect People Less than... even Dolipran" (a Banal Pain-Killer) "which, in fact, is the 1st Cause in the World for Poisoning !", if taken in an inappropriate way, he extrapolated. - All and all, "we had a Total of 36 Deaths" (throughout All Trials, New and Old), "from which Not even One (1) wasn't Ever related with the Heart".
>>> In General, as a matter of Principle, Prof. Raoult's Team stands for an "Early" and "Carefully Controlled Treatment, with Safe and Well-Tolerated Drugs", "in individuals with Mild Symptoms, Before signs of Severity appear", and "paying Strict Attention ...to Contra-Indications and ...Inter-Actions with concomitant Medication", as he advised, Already in the Conclusions of the Previous Trial (of 1.061 Patients), Published at the Beginning of May, (Comp. Supra).
++++ In Parallel, Additionaly, "we have made about 130.000 Diagnostic Tests by PCR in some 50.000 Patients, including Diagnosis in about 5.000 Cases which were Treated Here", Raoult Noted Today.
=> - "So that we were among the First to say that", in principle, "Children are Not Infected, are Not Affected" by that Virus, and - "Now, we Know Why !" Something that "we will Reveal Next Week", he promised, by the way.
- And "we Know that there are People who are Very Sick, and have Big Lesions (visible only) at the Scanner, While they are Not Short of Breath", but with "Minimal" "Dyspnoea" (i.e. almost "ASymptomatic", etc). -
- So that, "the Evolution of (such) New Diseases canNot always be Foreseen based on that of Older Diseases : Each one may have Its Own Way to Evolve".
=> - Thus, "we Accumulated a Considerable Amount of Data, probaly Unique in the World", "from which we Have to Make several Conclusions, Later-on, at the Right Moment - which is Not always Similar to that of the Press-Medias : Everybody lives at his Own Pace"..., he Smiled, giving RDV in a foreseable Future.

The official presentation of a "Program" respecting People's choices voted in the June 7, 2009 EU Elections, to be debated in EU Council and EU Parliament during its 1st Session on July in Strasbourg, is the No 1 Priority, according to Democratic principles, for the Franco-German axis, said the main winners at the ballot box, French President Nicolas Sarkozy and German Chancellor Angie Merkel.
They stressed that the New EU Commission's President must have a "Program" in favor of an EU which "protects" its Citizens, regulates financial markets and aims at a "Political" Europe" : a wording they have used as incompatible with Turkey's controversial EU bid.
They also declared ready for a "political" endorsment of "Mr. Barroso's candidacy" in June's EU Council, considering that an official decision would have to be made after EU Parliament's debates and votes, possibly from next month (July), with the legally necessary final acceptance shortly after Lisbon Treaty's entry into force, hoped for September or October.
- "A Program, and Mr. Barroso" : This resumes, in substance, the anouncements made by Sarkozy and Merkel, on the question of current EU Commission's President, Barroso's declared wish to succeed to himself for a second mandate, to be extended during the following 5 years.
In their 1st meeting after EU Elections, they observed that "the Franco-German axis counted in European Elections' campaign... But, we both keep a realistic view : We saw the number of those who abstained, and we must absolutely give them an answer. We also see the disilusionment of an important number of Europeans vis a vis Europe, and we are aware of the responsibilities we have".
- The "Duty" of the new EU Commission's President, after June 7, 2009 EU Elections' result, "is to act for a Europe which protects the Europeans, to commit himself into working for a better Regulation of Financial transactions, ... and to have a Political will for Europe", underlined Sarkozy.
Therefore, "we have asked M. Barroso... to clarify, to officialy present the intentions he has", he anounced.
- "We want to speak also about the Programme", explained Merkel.
- "It's important that for the next EU Parliament's mandate (2009-2014) we take the right Decisions for Europe. Obviously on Persons, but mainly Decisions on Issues", she stressed.
- "It's not simply a question of a Person, it's also a question of a Programme". We are "really asking Mr. Barroso to commit himself on a Program, and on Principles, on Values", Sarkozy added.
EU President-in-office, Czech Prime Minister Jan Fischer, accepted the Franco-German stance :
- "Barroso must present his Programme. The Czech Presidency agrees with that", Fischer reportedly said later, after meeting Sarkozy.
But Press reports from Brussels claimed that Barroso had preferred to be officially appointed by EU Council since June, (i.e. next week), "because this was implied by the current Treaty of Nice, according to him", and considered any delay until the possible ratification of the new, Lisbon Treaty on September/October, as "undemocratic".
- "At any case, independently of what Germany and France ask, it's also EU Parliament's wish". "We shall propose Mr Barroso's candidacy... But even in the framework of Nice Treaty, EU Parliament has to be associated in this Decision", the French President observed.
If this is correctly done, then "we support Mr. Barroso's candidature", and "if the (EU) Parliament agrees, we might ratify this decision since July", (i.e. next month), they both said.
- "France and Germany support Baroso's candidacy, But we want to speak also on the Program. We believe that this Program should be established in close cooperation with EU Parliament, and that's why we have followed an appropriate way", said Merkel. - If EU Parliament wants, this election can take place on July, but this must be done in full agreement.
- "We shall support Mr. Barroso's candidacy, without doubt", said Sarkozy. "But we have asked from Mr. Barroso, as I told him yesterday, to put into detail.. his intentions, at the eve of his 2nd mandate, if the situation avails itself.
France and Germany "don't want to take an Official Legal Decision by writting" during "the next (EU) Council" (on June 18-19), declared Sarkozy. Because they prefer, at this stage, only "a Political decision" on June, "so that we (EU Council) can work together with EU Parliament", which starts to meet only Next Month, since July in Srasbourg, "leaving a Legal decision by writting for later".
- "If the Conditions are fuillfiled in EU Parliament, we (EU Council) are ready to give the agreement and make it offficial", said Merkel
- "But, now we are working in the base of Nice Treaty. If tommorow we want to work in the spirit of Lisbon Treaty, we have to find a proper way", she added.
- "Of course it's Legally complicated, because we are going to make a Political proposal to the forthcoming Council, for an EU Commission's President, on the basis of Nice Treaty : So, we (EU Council) will not appoint the Commissioners. Only the President. If EU Parliament agrees, it could endorse this position on July", explained Sarkozy.
But, on Autumn, "if Ireland ratifies Lisbon Treaty, there will be, at any case, a 2nd Decision, to appoint the Commission's President, this time on the basis of Lisbon treaty, and then, we, the EU Member States, would have to appoint (also) the EU Commissioners", he added.
As for the precise Timing : - "Everything is suspended until the Irish vote... Now, we must all make everything possible to help Ireland to say "Yes"" to Lisbon Treaty... The Irish Referendum, ..will take place either on September or on October. It's a Question which depends on the Irish. And, then, we shall have the Choice of the Candidates for the permanent Institutions of Europe".
However, "if Ireland says No, we, French and Germans, have to assume our responsibilities, and we'll do so", he concluded.
But British and Swedish governments were reportedly eager to have a final EU Council decision on Barroso since this month, on June's European Council. While the other EU Member Countries are divided, several of them preferring to wait until EU Parliament pronounces itself, on July, and/or until Lisbon Treaty might be ratified by Ireland at the beginning of the Autumn. Barroso's current mandate ends on November.
There are also various, contradictory and/or unpredictable reactions inside EU Parliament vis a vis Barroso's wish to continue a 2nd mandate, because many MEPs are openly or secretly opposed, reluctant, or hesitating.
In the biggest EU Countries, as France and Germany, EU Citizens voted on June 2009 EU Elections for a renovated, non-technocratic but Political Europe which cares for its Citizens, with an Identity, Values and Borders, declared incompatible with Turkey's controversial EU bid, by mainstream, pro-European Governing Parties. Similar choices were also supported in several other small or medium EU Countries.
On the contrary, whenever, in other Countries, Governing and other mainstream Parties didn't make these choices or eluded them, EU Citizens massively voted for euro-Sceptics whenever they were the only ones to to promise anti-bureacratic change and oppose Turkey's demand to enter into the EU, (f.ex. in the UK, Netherlands, etc).
It's seems to be an Open Question whether Sarkozy and Merkel's conditions will be really accepted by Barroso, who was appointed on 2004 in a different political context, (with Socialist Prime Ministers in Germany, France, etc), had rejected in the Past the idea of EU becoming "equal to the USA" as "ridiculous", and pushed for Turkey's contoversial EU bid, trying to "soften" or contain the changes desired by the People who voted for Merkel and Sarkozy with another policy vis a vis Turkey on 2005 in Germany and on 2007 in France, as they did all over Europe on 2009.
In addition to many EPP Governments, it's 3 remaining Socialist Prime Ministers : Gordon Brown in the UK, Zapatero in Spain, and Socrates in Prortugal, who support Barroso, as well as Liberal Swedish Prime Minister Reinfeldt. But their Parties lost the June 2009 EU Elections.
Questioned whether there was still "Time" for "other" possible "Candidates", Sarkozy and Merkel did not deny, nor made any comment on that, but simply said that "it's not for us to make publicity for any candidates. We anounced our choice ("A Program, and Mr. Barroso"). But we respect any other candidate".
Among various other names cited are former Belgian Prime Minister Verhofstadt, former UNO's Human Rights Commissioner Mary Robinson of Ireland, Italian former EU Commission's vice-President Monti, etc. Meanwhile, Luxembourg's PM Juncker, (who had been unanimously accepted by EU Council for EU Commission's Presidency on 2004, but refused), announced his intention to resign from "EuroGroup"'s Chair. Thus, he might be available for another Top EU job.
As "EuroFora"'s "opinion" said (See publication dated 9/6/09) : - "If the current candidates (i.e. Barroso, etc) to the Top EU jobs promise and guarantee to respect People's democratic choices, then, it's OK".
"Otherwise, Europe must find new candidates, really motivated and able to implement these democratic choices of the People."
Because, "in Democracy, the forthcoming choices for EU's Top Jobs,...should be made according to EU Citizens' Votes in June 7, 2009 European Elections, and main EU Governments' strategic policies".
