Yet another example of how a many months-old @covid19critical treatment protocol element (spironolactone) gains attention due to repeated survival benefits found in trials. Rest assured NIH/IDSA will avoid recommending as long as possible (costs pennies). – @PierreKory
TrialSiteNews: A new COVID-19 drug cocktail is hailed as a possible treatment for the new SARS-CoV-2 variant of concern after producing evidence that the combination therapy can keep people out of intensive care units over current available medicines. More specifically the cocktail demonstrates a four-fold increase in keeping COVID-19 patients out of the intensive care unit (ICU) according to the principal investigator Sir Christopher Edwards, former vice-chancellor of Newcastle University and formally representing Imperial College of London for this proof of concept study also involving a Ukrainian hospital. The cocktail includes both the corticosteroid dexamethasone and the heart failure medication spironolactone and is referred to as “SpiDex.” more

If it won’t make Big Pharma money it won’t be adopted by the central medical system.
The most important “scientific” question here is “Does Twuuuuuump wecommend it?!!!”.
Yeah but, does it cure river blindness and deworm farm animals?
When I worked at the wildlife rehabilitation clinic, we used Dexamethasone (we called it Dex) on every single bird that came into the IC room. Usually birds suffer from predator attacks, slamming into windows or fishing line entanglement. First thing administered was Dex (was told it was steroid) and then back into a warm box. I’ve seen birds that looked like they were on death’s door up, alert and moving around in less than an hour. Stuff was amazing.
It’s good to see how the three “wonder” drugs (in my opinion) – Dex, Ivermectin and Fenbendazole) that we used on a daily basis is now being used to treat humans from viruses to cancer.
Trying to determine whether profits or population reduction is foremost is a toughie.
I bet some day we will learn that these various drugs that are now “evil” were researched years ago and found to be effective at treating all kinds of corona viruses (common cold) but big pharma hid the info because that would have made all the OTC cold medicines obsolete.
^^ DDT?
Dexamethasone is prescribed off label in Germany for psoriasis and it pretty much cures it but not in the US. My brother has it bad and he gets the biological drug from abbot. 55000 a year. They rape the insurance company
Jethro – that day is at hand. Knowledge of anti-viral therapeutics have been covered up for decades (as you point out) and COVID is blowing the lid off it.
