According to the AAPS’s general counsel, “The mortality rate from COVID-19 in countries that allow access to HCQ is only one-tenth the mortality rate in countries where there is interference with this medication, such as the United States.”
Thousands of doctors are reporting that in the early phase of COVID-19, patients given a low dose of this drug in combination with azithromycin and zinc, get better. https://www.globalresearch.ca/media-sabotage-hydroxychloroquine-covid-19-doctors-worldwide-protest-disaster/5717382
“Of the 6,227 physicians surveyed in 30 countries, 37 percent rated hydroxychloroquine the “most effective therapy” for combating the potentially deadly illness, according to the results released Thursday.
The survey, conducted by the global health care polling company Sermo, also found that 23 percent of medical professionals had prescribed the drug in the US — far less than other countries.
“Outside the US, hydroxychloroquine was equally used for diagnosed patients with mild to severe symptoms whereas in the US it was most commonly used for high risk diagnosed patients,” the survey found.
The medicine was most widely used in Spain, where 72 percent of physicians said they had prescribed it.”

Studies Pro HCQ
If you haven’t seen the news about how this is being used in other countries here are some for you to start your research:
France: “If clinical data confirm the biological results, the novel coronavirus-associated disease will have become one of the simplest and cheapest to treat and prevent among infectious respiratory diseases,” a group of French researchers wrote in a paper published on February 15 in the International Journal of Antimicrobial Agents. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0924857920300662
Remarkable comparison of France to Marseille where people are being treated with HCQ+AZ. 0.5% fatality rate compared to 21.6% nationwide – http://www.francesoir.fr/efficacite-des-mesures-un-point-de-vue-factuel-marseille-30-fois-moins-de-chance-de-mourir-du-covid (this is in French but you can use google translate to read it and it’s easy to get the conclusions)
India: India advised all front line health care workers to take Hydroxychloroquine prophylactically. This was in March. https://www.mohfw.gov.in/pdf/AdvisoryontheuseofHydroxychloroquinasprophylaxisforSARSCoV2infection.pdf
India production and exports of the drug have spiked as many countries are using it successfully and are placing massive orders to use as a preventative drug for this https://www.forbes.com/sites/anuraghunathan/2020/04/09/indias-drugmakers-ramp-up-production-of-game-changer-coronavirus-drug-hydroxychloroquine/
India is using this on the frontline and as a PREVENTATIVE measure even giving it to exposed family members before they exhibit symptoms or test positive. Early use is the key https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/pune/maharashtra-expands-use-of-hydroxychloroquine-as-preventive-measure-6376275/

Morocco: Early use of hydroxychloroquine Morocco is still facing a growing number of COVID cases, but barely any growth in the number of fatalities.
India has just accepted their order for a 6 million pills refill. Again article is in French: https://fr.le360.ma/politique/video-covid-19-linde-exportera-6-millions-de-comprimes-dhydroxychloroquine-au-maroc-selon-son-215425 (i have a graphic I’ll post in the comments showing their deaths and recoveries vs cases)
Russia: Russia is using hydroxychloroquine, it also reports significantly fewer deaths from Covid-19 compared to other countries similarly hit by the pandemic. https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2020/04/17/russia-approves-unproven-malaria-drug-to-treat-coronavirus-a70025
So, the New York Times claimed Russia was under reporting deaths. Russia is now demanding a retraction. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/russia-slams-the-new-york-times-financial-times-over-coronavirus-death-toll-reports/
Senegal: The Covid-19 fatality rate remains at 1% in Senegal as the country continues to broadly use hydroxychloroquine “despite warnings from the World Health Organization.” https://wfuv.org/content/senegal-pledges-bed-every-coronavirus-patient-%E2%80%94-and-their-contacts-too
Turkey: Turkey, a country that has fully embraced hydroxychloroquine for covid-19, reported its lowest daily death toll since March. Its case fatality rate currently stands at less than half of the United States’. https://www.krqe.com/news/health-news/turkey-registers-41-new-deaths-lowest-since-end-of-march/
Madagascar: The President of Madagascar has been criticized for promoting an anti-malaria medicine, the herb Artemisia annua, to treat covid-19. They are using it as a prophylaxes as well.
Madagascar has zero covid-19 deaths reported to date. https://www.nydailynews.com/news/world/ny-world-madagascar-president-pushes-unproven-covid-19-elixir-20200428-dld657c5m5hatnivrcyfe4qlpa-story.html
South Korea: Korea posted their treatment guidelines utilizing hydroxychloroquine as a treatment for covid-19 https://www.upi.com/Top_News/World-News/2020/03/12/South-Korea-experts-recommend-anti-HIV-anti-malaria-drugs-for-COVID-19/6961584012321/
Update: study results from South Korea: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7162746/
China: China’s Head of Biotech said that chloroquine was selected out of tens of thousands of drugs as the most effective treatment on Feb 17th. http://www.xinhuanet.com/english/2020-02/17/c_138792545.htm
Bahrain: Bahrain began using hydroxychloroquine two days after the first case of Covid-19 was discovered there in February. They did this based on “notable success in China and South Korea.” Now they have one of the lowest case fatality rates in the world. https://www.newsofbahrain.com/bahrain/62616.html

This article also shows how he has worked with Presidents and health ministers in Honduras, Brazil and Israel on their protocols. “If you look at the country of Israel, which I helped set their policy, they have had, it’s a nation of 9 million people — its essentially the same size of New York City in population — and they had 280 deaths. Compare that to New York, which is also around 9 million people, and the deaths are up to 15,000.”
In fact, as of May 18, Israel has seen 272 deaths from more than 16,000 cases, with more than 13,000 recovered, according to Worldometers.info. This despite the fact that experts predicted far, far worse. According to Haaretz, the model that was “one of the key documents that has influenced policymakers” in the country predicted up to between 8,600 and 21,000 deaths in Israel.

I want to note that strangely there are only 2.5 studies completed around Remdesevir and the outcomes are not nearly the same and you can’t even get this except if you go into a hospital as it is administered via IV. For more details on the studies and who is behind them and how they were designed and what their flaws are you can watch this https://youtu.be/8Ru1z00hlys
So this is all the stuff I have uncovered. It’s not partisan it’s just the de facto standard it seems…sooooo FDA why aren’t you being straight with us? Conflicts of interest? It’s not patentable, it’s cheap and it’s safe. UPDATE! The FDA has softened their stance on HCQ https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2020/05/19/fda-appears-to-soften-stance-on-hydroxychloroquine-after-trump-says-he-takes-malaria-drug.html
