The research suggests they started the regimen too late.

If you look at the body of papers that show HCQ's alleged ineffectiveness, it's because they didn't give it to patients until they were already at a point they required supplemental oxygen.

Surprise, surprise. Something that inhibits viral replication doesn't work once the damage has been done. Who knew?

HCQ + Zpak + zinc doesn't appear to be more effective than chance once the patient requires supplemental oxygen, ventilation, or has been admitted to the ICU. However, it appears based on work by Dr. Zelenko and from Italy that using it early in the disease process or prophylactically either reverses the disease process currently underway or reduces the chances that someone is going to actually develop COVID-19.

The studies were almost designed exactly opposite from what would would expect from something that's a known zinc ionophore. It's almost like they wanted it to fail...
