« I think we should treat Americans early with this, if their doctors think it makes sense. » Dr Mehmet Cengiz Öz

Interviewed on Fox News by Sean Hannity on April 6, Dr Oz shared new information provided to him directly by Professor Didier Raoult from Marseille, France, about a study covering 1000 patients treated with the hydroxychloroquine / azithromycin therapy.

Here are the numbers.

1000 people treated.

20 patients had to be transferred to the ICU. 

7 people died out of 1000. 

Side effects were trivial: a rash

Dr OZ concluded the segment stating:

« I think we should treat Americans early with this, if their doctors think it makes sense. »

The position of Dr Oz is highly interesting, as he is breaking ranks with those, like Dr Anthony Fauci, the White House Health Advisor, who repeatedly stress that, despite the raging pandemic, further studies are needed before recommending hydroxychloroquine-based therapies.

A popular media personality, Dr Mehmet C. Oz, MD, FACS is the Director of the Integrative Medicine Center at the Columbia University Irving Medical Center in New York.

118 deaths in hospitals
