In a recent interview on Fox News (watch below), Bill Gates stated that “It is fair to say that things won’t go back to truly normal until we have a vaccine that we’ve gotten out to basically the entire world.” It’s no secret that Gates is a huge supporter of vaccines, and is a major player when it comes to developing them. When it comes to the new coronavirus vaccine specifically, he is set to spend billions of dollars to help develop the vaccine, which already seems to be making its way to the public quite fast.
Multiple companies have started clinical trials and testing of potential vaccines for the new coronavirus. Forbes is reporting that the second phase of human trials for a new vaccine from Moderna may start this spring. Moderna’s cofounder and chairman Noubar Afeyan told CNBC that, while it’s challenging to put a timetable on the vaccine’s progress, “We expect [phase two trials] to happen in the spring, perhaps early summer.”
Right now, within the mainstream at least, shining a spotlight on coronavirus vaccines seems to be a priority. But it’s not the only solution that’s been grabbing attention. Other potentials like drugs, and short-term therapies that patients need right now seem to be showing some promise.
For example, Medicine in Drug Discovery, of Elsevier, a major scientific publishing house, recently published an article on early and high-dose IVC in the treatment and prevention of Covid-19. The article was written by Dr. Richard Cheng, MD, PhD, a US board-certified anti-aging specialist, from Shanghai, China. Dr. Cheng served in the United States Army as a commissioned officer (Major) and an Army physician. In the article, he points out how “High-dose intravenous VC has also been successfully used in the treatment of 50 moderate to severe COVID-19 patients in China.” Dr. Cheng has been updating everyone via his YouTube channel about vitamin C treatment cases out of China.
According to a recent article by the New York Post, who has also picked up on the topic, “Seriously sick coronavirus patients in New York state’s largest hospital system are being given massive doses of vitamin C.”
Dr. Anthony Cardillo, an ER specialist and the CEO of Mend Urgent Care, has been prescribing a zinc and hydroxychloroquine combination on patients experiencing severe symptoms associated with COVID-19. In an interview with KABC-TV, Cardillo stated:
“Every patient I’ve prescribed it to has been very, very ill and within 8 to 12 hours, they were basically symptom-free, […] So, clinically I am seeing a resolution.”
Dr. Vladimir Zelenko, a board-certified family practitioner in New York, said in a video interview that a cocktail of Hydroxychloroquine, Zinc Sulfate and Azithromycin are showing phenomenon results with 900 coronavirus patients treated. (source)
In New Jersey, Physicians have called for more autonomy with Hydroxychloroquine treatment for COVID-19, and In France, a large study indicates combination of Hydroxychloroquine and Azithromycin to be effective in treating COVID-19. (source)
On March 22, The New York Times reported that there are at least 69 existing drugs or compounds that might be effective in treating the coronavirus.
Mainstream media seems to be debunking the idea that Hydroxychloroquine can help at all. Here’s an example from CNN.
So, as you can see, this kind of information is making its way around the world, so why aren’t these being explored as much as a vaccine? Why does a vaccine seem to be the only solution in this case? These are important questions to ask yourself.
