I downloaded above in winter or spring 2020 from CDC advice to travellers to malaria areas.
In 2021, that "advertisement" is no longer available at CDC. HDQ cannot be mentioned, that's Donald Trump's medicine, keep away! It's deadly, causes heart attacks.
Now they propose chloroquine to travellers, in place of the safer hydroxychloroquine. Still no heart warnings to travellers.

Chloroquine / hydroxychloroquine during the COVID-19 pandemic
As described in Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell, doublethink is:
To know and not to know, to be conscious of complete truthfulness while telling carefully constructed lies, to hold simultaneously two opinions which cancelled out, knowing them to be contradictory and believing in both of them, to use logic against logic, to repudiate morality while laying claim to it, to believe that democracy was impossible and that the Party was the guardian of democracy, to forget whatever it was necessary to forget, then to draw it back into memory again at the moment when it was needed, and then promptly to forget it again, and above all, to apply the same process to the process itself—that was the ultimate subtlety: consciously to induce unconsciousness, and then, once again, to become unconscious of the act of hypnosis you had just performed. Even to understand the word—doublethink—involved the use of doublethink.[2][5]:32, 220
Members of a cult need doblethink to resolve unreconcilable positions.
A COGNITIVE DISSONANCE MOMENT FOR WIKIPEDIA EDITORS
a. anti-malarial medications chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine are advised by CDC for travellers to malaria areas, including children and pregnant women. 5M prescriptions for HCQ in US alone.
b. Chinese studies, Dr. Raoult's study, and Dr. Zelenko's study report no heart issues with HCQ.
c. anti-malarial medications chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine ("HCQ") are "proved to reduce symptoms and increase survival chances of infected patients"
d. an early failed experiment.
Hydroxychloroquine
The speculative use of hydroxychloroquine for COVID‑19 threatens its availability for people with established indications.[9]
In March and April 2020, the ethical concerns over the threat to people who depended on HCQ came to the fore. Such concerns were not reality-based, since the HCQ is very cheap to manufacture, and the United States kept HCQ in its Strategic National Stockpile.
Chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine during the COVID-19 pandemic
Timeline
Chloroquine was initially recommended by Indian, Chinese, South Korean and Italian health authorities for the treatment of COVID‑19,[24] although these agencies and the US CDC noted contraindications for people with heart disease or diabetes.[8][25]
The claim that Indian, Chinese, Korean, or Italian authorities were fearful of heart consequences from use of hydroxychloroquine seem unlikely; it had been available in Africa and in France without prescription until January 2020. Note [24] brings us to an article in Korea Biomedical Review, dated February 13, 2020.
출처 : KBR(http://www.koreabiomed.com). http://www.koreabiomed.com/news/articleView.html?idxno=7428
It is apparent that Wikipedia editors had not read the article they referred to. They were just trying to show that the imaginary fears of a very safe drug were shared by others, beyond the CDC opponents of HCQ.
In February 2020, both drugs were shown to effectively reduce COVID‑19 illness, but a further study concluded that hydroxychloroquine was more potent than chloroquine and had a more tolerable safety profile.[26][27]
On 18 March 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) announced that chloroquine and the related hydroxychloroquine would be among the four drugs studied as part of the multinational Solidarity clinical trial.[28]
On 19 March 2020, US President Donald Trump encouraged the use of chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine during a national press conference. These endorsements led to massive increases in public demand for the drugs in the United States.[29] Beginning in March 2020, Trump began promoting hydroxychloroquine to prevent or treat COVID-19, citing small numbers of anecdotal reports.[30] Trump stated in June that he was taking the drug as a preventive measure,[16]stimulating unprecedented worldwide demand and causing shortages of hydroxychloroquine for its prescribed purpose of preventing malaria.[30]
Chinese doctors began to use HCQ, followed by Korean, Indian, and Italian doctors. On March 17, Dr. Didier Raoult said his trials confirmed that HCQ saved lives. But President Macron did not seem pleased at all; his Minister of Health, Dr. Olivier Verain, advised the French to take paracetamol (acetaminophen). Oddly enough, he believed that fever should be lowered, when it's known that fever helps our immune system to overcome the virus, which is most active at normal body temperatures. Moreover, lowering fever allows patients to go to work and infect colleagues.
On March 21, a doctor from Kiev and Brooklyn, Dr. Vladimir "Zev" Zelenko, announced that he had cured hundreds of patients using a cocktail including HCQ. [See Zelenko, Dr. Vladimir]. His son made a YouTube video addressed to the President, and soon Rudy Giuliani was on the phone.
Immediately, the media mounted an attack against the HCQ/Trump binomial. "To get Trump, let's kill HCQ". The fear was that Dr. Zelenko had the key to cure covid, with a combination of drugs.
So the media said that the Chinese and the French studies were too small, not well done, incomplete; they said that policy could not be changed on the basis of such lightweight studies. What's odd is that they had no interest in the results of Dr. Zelenko, even though his patients refused to die, and he was there, an hour from NYC, quite willing to speak.
On March 26, an article on hydroxychloroquine appears in Science; it's worth reading now. It's March 2020, there is a die-off of old folks, doctors and nurses in France and Italy. So some doctors, led by Dr. Didier Raoult, director of the Institut Hospitalo-Universitaire en Maladies Infectieuses de Marseille (IHU Méditerranée Infection) publish a study on 45 patients, using a medication that Chinese doctors had used and were advising. Dr. Raoult says it cleared his patients of the virus. A derivate of quinine, used for 60 years, freely distributed in Africa against malaria. Hundreds of millions of prescriptions. Advised by CDC for travellers, even for children and pregnant women.
And here is a selection from the March 26 article in Science: "Risky malaria drugs, Trump's embrace, egregious, lapses, inconsistent, unproven, misguided, dangerous, shortages, deaths in Nigeria, died, toxic, panic buying, unwarranted, false hopes, life-threatening, suicidal behaviour, toxicity, kill people, anecdotal, riddled with flaws, basic failure, massive off-label use, rush, unwise, this is insane!" Clearly, President Trump was effective in moving normal rational people into a condition called TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome) in which they saw Trump as Emmanuel Goldstein, as he appears in Chapter 1 of Nineteen Eighty-Four--you can read that now, under the "Two Minutes Hate" heading. https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2020/03/insane-many-scientists-lament-trump-s-embrace-risky-malaria-drugs-coronavirus
Was Science consciously deceiving its readers? Not at all. Science and the international media behaved as followers of a cult. As a religious party. As a Taliban. Before writing the article, did they have a Two-minute Hate session, to raise Trump consciousness? To be curious about the experiment of Dr. Zelenko would have meant betrayal of Party discipline, and that was unthinkable. Thus no curiosity, no interest in asking Dr. Zelenko about his treatment. No interest in talking to his cured patients.
On March 28, 2020, the FDA issued an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) to allow hydroxychloroquine sulfate and chloroquine phosphate products donated to the Strategic National Stockpile(SNS) to be distributed and used for certain hospitalized patients with COVID-19. These drugs will be distributed from the SNS to states for doctors to prescribe to adolescent and adult patients hospitalized with COVID-19, as appropriate, when a clinical trial is not available or feasible. https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/coronavirus-covid-19-update-daily-roundup-march-30-2020
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo announced that New York State trials of chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine would begin on 24 March.[31] On 28 March, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) authorized the use of hydroxychloroquine sulfate and chloroquine phosphate under an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA), which was later revoked due to the risk of cardiac adverse events.[2][32] The drug was authorized under the EUA as an experimental treatment for emergency use in hospitalized patients.[2][32][33]
None of the President's men, realised that the FDA was plotting failure for HCQ. They did not ask Dr, Zelenko, and so did not know that about the time when symptoms first appear, HCQ kills virus production and thus breaks contagion; that's in the first few days of the illness. Afterwards, virus production ends; either Covid-19 is cured by the immune system and by medications, or it enters the lungs, as an inflammatory condition and a blood clotting event, at which point an antiviral becomes useless.
HCQ is an antiviral. Five-six days days after symptoms appear, there is no more viral activity. Thus we had a fraudulent agreement by the FDA to try HCQ, in the full knowledge that HCQ is useless, in the pulmonary phase of the illness
Their use was withdrawn as a possible treatment for COVID‑19 infection when it proved to have no benefit for hospitalized patients with severe COVID-19 illness in the international Solidarity trial and UK RECOVERY Trial.[13][14] On 15 June, the FDA revoked its emergency use authorization, stating that it was "no longer reasonable to believe" that the drug was effective against COVID-19 or that its benefits outweighed "known and potential risks".[15][16][17] In fall of 2020, the National Institutes of Health issued treatment guidelines recommending against the use of hydroxychloroquine for COVID-19 except as part of a clinical trial.[1]
The guidance originally said: “Although optimal dosing and duration of hydroxychloroquine for treatment of COVID-19 are unknown, some U.S. clinicians have reported anecdotally” on several ways to prescribe the medication of COVID-19, and listed suggested dosages.
As of Tuesday, the website no longer includes dosing information and instead says: “There are no drugs or other therapeutics approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to prevent or treat COVID-19." https://www.miamiherald.com/news/coronavirus/article241886271.html#storylink=cpy
Even before fake studies could be organized, CDC made clear their opposition to allowing doctors a free hand in treating their patiernts with a drug approved for everyone until Trump heard of it. It was on sale over the counter until January 2020 in France.
On 24 April 2020, the FDA cautioned against using the drug outside a hospital setting or clinical trial after reviewing case reports of adverse effects including ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation and in some cases death.[12]
Scare tactics were used against HCQ, threatening death from a medication the CDC was still advising for all travellers to malaria areas, including children and pregnant women. Note the absence of heart warnings for travellers.
There is preliminary evidence that combining hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin for treating non-hospitalized ("outpatient") people with COVID‑19 infection with multiple comorbidities was effective, but remains under preliminary research.[57]
Zinc deficiency – which decreases immune capacity to defend against pathogens – is common among elderly people, and may be a susceptibility factor in viral infections.[53] The mechanism for any potential benefit of including zinc in a cocktail treatment for recovery from severe COVID‑19 or any viral infection is unknown.[53][54]
Wikipedia allows a little victory to HCQ, now that is no longer the first choice for dissident doctors. You will not see such honesty in regard to ivermectin, which is now the main threat to the vaccination project.
A study by Harvey A. Risch, appeared and was totally ignored on May 27, 2020, under title Early Outpatient Treatment of Symptomatic, High-Risk Covid-19 Patients that Should be Ramped-Up Immediately as Key to the Pandemic Crisis
Evidence about use of hydroxychloroquine alone, or of hydroxychloroquine+azithromycin in inpatients, is irrelevant concerning efficacy of the pair in early high-risk outpatient disease. Five studies, including two controlled clinical trials, have demonstrated significant major outpatient treatment efficacy. Hydroxychloroquine+azithromycin has been used as standard-of-care in more than 300,000 older adults with multicomorbidities, with estimated proportion diagnosed with cardiac arrhythmias attributable to the medications 47/100,000 users, of which estimated mortality is <20%, 9/100,000 users, compared to the 10,000 Americans now dying each week. These medications need to be widely available and promoted immediately for physicians to prescribe. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7546206/
WHO trial[edit]
Due to safety concerns and evidence of heart arrhythmias leading to higher death rates, the WHO suspended the hydroxychloroquine arm of the multinational Solidarity trial in May 2020.[64][65][66]
The multinational Solidarity Trial sounds like a Scientology document, and is the epitome of international medical cultism blended with the noble lie. I reject the idea that these doctors betray the Hippocratic oath for the sake of wealth and power. They are victims of an oppressive scientistic ideology.
The objective was to study three useless expensive medications and one cheap effective one, HCQ, and to prove that the cheap one does not work and is dangerous. The study: a. was organized to disprove President Trump's and Rudy Giuliani's claims. b. involved only two of the three ingredients of Dr. Zelenko's protocol. c. ignored the basic tenet of the Zelenko's theory that HCQ, as an antiviral, attacks the virus in the first few days of the illness, but is useless in the pulmonary phase of the illness. d. declares its hostility to HCQ, "widely used for treatment of COVID-19, despite no conclusive evidence of...benefit." e. claims that "the safety and benefit of these treatment regimens are poorly evaluated in COVID-19." Yet, by rejecting the third element of the protocol, it refuses to evaluate "these treatment regimens." f. attacks doctors who use HCQ "often with little regard for potential risk," thus implying that a drug recommended by CDC for children and pregnant women, turns into a threat to life and limb when used to prevent progression of Covid-19 into the pulmonary phase. g. fabricates danger to community at large: "Some countries have stockpiled these drugs, resulting in a shortage of these medications for those that need them for approved clinical indications." Note leads us to an article by a doctor who does not claim shortages, but hopes that notoriety of HCQ may lead her patients to take it, since "adherence to HCQ is universally low." h. thus concludes: we sought to analyse the association between these treatment regimens and in-hospital death.
The WHO had enrolled 3,500 patients from 17 countries in the Solidarity trial.[64] The research surrounding this suspension, provided by a company called Surgisphere based in Chicago, came into question due to errors in the underlying data set.[67][68][69] The authors of the study corrected errors in the data later but initially remained firm on their conclusions.[67] Subsequently, a retraction of the study by three of its authors was published by The Lancet on 4 June 2020.[70] The authors stated that their reason behind the retraction was because Surgisphere had failed to cooperate with an independent review of the data used for the study by not allowing any such review to take place.[71][72]
The WHO decided to resume the trial on 3 June, after reviewing the safety concerns which had been raised. Speaking at a press briefing, WHO's director-general, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus stated that the board had reviewed the available mortality data and had found "no reasons to modify the trial".[73][74]
On 4 July, the WHO discontinued the hydroxychloroquine trial based on evidence presented at the July WHO Summit on COVID-19 research and innovation. The WHO stated that "These interim trial results show that hydroxychloroquine and lopinavir/ritonavir produce little or no reduction in the mortality of hospitalized COVID-19 patients when compared to standard of care."[75]
The fraud was discovered when doctors, familiar with sloppy standards in certain countries, realised the data were too exact to be real.
The authors apologised, explaining that they had mixed up studies from different countries. However, when one reader observed that the deaths in one Australian hospital were given as greater than all deaths in Australia, the authors agreed that the data had been faked by one of the authors.
This fraud was intended to deny to us the use of a generally safe medicine, just to weaken a hated politician, at the cost of millions of lives.
The study was based on imaginary data, created by a very smart MD, who is also a science fiction author. Now he had to assume that friends of Trump would check his data, he had to expected he would be found out. Then, why do it? In a political campaign, the original accusation goes on page 1 of the Times, the denial goes on page 37 next week. And the rest of the papers will not mention the denial. In the meantime, for a week, it's sure that all the media will laugh at Crazy Orange Man. It worked perfectly. No one knows the article was retracted, and a year later, the fake data of the article are still cited.
The HCQ Lancet article attracted attention to an article by the same author, praising ivermectin ("IVR"), in another world-class journal, the New England Journal of Medicine. It was also built upon fake data, and vaccine fans, still today, present the study as proof that ivermectin relies on fake studies. The two fake studies, seemed brilliantly designed to kill the two main medications against covid. We can presume that the reward for the doctor who manufactured the two studies must have been quite rewarding.
US authorities used the fraudulent Lancet study to block further HCQ studies, and were used by governors of US states to ban HCQ. At that point we ought to consider whether we are dealing with dumb victimised cultists or with crooks working for vaccine billionaires, or both at the same time.
