The Controversy Surrounding The Wearing Of COVID-19 Prevention Mouth Mask

To avoid the spread of COVID-19, one of the rules recommended by the World Health Organization is the use of the mask, which covers both the nose and the mouth at the same time. 

However, there are thousands, probably millions worldwide, who are not interested in using these protective masks.

Behind every pandemic come rules and measures of prevention, just to avoid the spread but at times when you think about some of them, you will know that they don’t make sense at all. 

Many have refused to wear the masks because it rather suffocates or the user experiences difficulties in breathing.

When humans breathe, they take in oxygen to the body and breathe out the toxic substances that we have produced. 

This cycle helps both the body and the mind to function properly. Thus; many argue that air expelled from the lungs going into the mask, can accumulate a respiratory disease.

Scientifically, this makes sense but the authorities forcing citizens to wear mask compulsory, are not interested to acknowledge the dangers that face mask poses to the health. 

Instead, they have recommended that after using them they must be washed to get rid of any possible infection. This doesn't sound right to many people.

Also, these are some of the reasons many think the truth behind the coronavirus has been suppressed, believing the face mask is a scam.

 

Let’s consider this second argument, before the wearing of masks became compulsory in many places and in public transports, they were recommended for people that have symptoms of respiratory disease.

Another medical advice from the World Health Organization is that if you are to assist a person with suspected infection, in the presence of symptoms such as frequent sneezing or persistent cough, you should wear a mask to prevent the risk of infection.

Now the media is over-flooded with false information about the coronavirus that the lack of social distancing and mouth mask is what is causing the spread.

Many disbelieve this theory, the fact that when you are in town or public places, you hardly see people collapsing or the sick asking for medical help. 

We only listen to the news to hear the number of people killed by COVID – 19 in many countries around the world. Why would people take the disease seriously even though COVID - 19 is real?

Even the president of the United States of America, Donald Trump has refused to wear a mouth mask in a country that has been devastated by the coronavirus.

I read recently that masks are of no use for healthy people but for the sick and health personnel, yet some countries have made it compulsory that you will end up paying a fine if you violate the rule. 

This is even more confusing, giving signals that governments are not telling us the truth about the virus.

WHY THE GOOD HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE FOR COVID- 19 PATIENTS NOW IN A CENTER OF CONTROVERSY

A piece of evidence that Africans believe in Dr. Didier Raoult than Bill Gates

The current debate or controversy in America over chloroquine-hydroxychloroquine is not in the interest of saving the lives of coronavirus patients, but only to make profits from certain drugs that Bill Gates has funded for the World Health Organization and the Centers for Disease Control.

The mainstream media, which Trump often calls 'Fake News,' political opponents, and some organizations, including the Food and Drug Administration, are condemning the usage of the medicine, despite Donald Trump's claims that he is using the drug to protect himself from infection.

As a matter of fact, politics in America and hate against the president have done more harm to the American public than good. Since the time the French doctor, Didier Raoult, declared that hydroxychloroquine can be useful for coronavirus patients, the doctor has become a public enemy.

The fact that pharmaceutical companies are interested in making vaccines to generate profit, those not interested in using the drug continue to declare chloroquine dangerous for humans. However, there has been a trial in France, and the result wasn't as bad as the fake American media wants everyone to believe.

The world knows that Israel is a country with great scientists. They are intelligent enough to know if hydroxychloroquine is dangerous to humans. In my opinion, if the drug is dangerous, Israel wouldn't approve it: Reference:  ISRAEL APPROVES CHLOROQUINE FOR TREATING COVID-19.

The hydroxychloroquine is a molecule derived from chloroquine whose structure is chemically similar; properties are common, but hydroxychloroquine does not indicate the treat malaria in France. It has been used for many years in the treatment of certain autoimmune pathologies under the name of Plaquenil.

This medication is recommended for people with rheumatoid arthritis and lupus erythematosus. It is also used to prevent allergies caused by the sun ( lucite). It is administered orally and comes in the form of a tablet to be taken at the end of meals. 

 The dosage and duration of treatment vary depending on the disorders presented. This medication is contraindicated in children under 6 years of age, during breastfeeding, and in cases of retinal disease (retinopathy).

Is chloroquine or its derivative, hydroxychloroquine, actually good for the treatment of coronavirus? To find out, the Minister of Health, Olivier Véran, announced on March 21 the launch of a trial named  Discovery and coordinated by Inserm,  to test the effectiveness of four treatments, including chloroquine, on 3,200 coronavirus patients, including 800 French patients. 

Without waiting for results and faced with the influx of COVID-19 patients in France, the government authorized on March 26 the administration of this drug to patients with severe forms of the coronavirus. 

This was a decision certainly driven by the evidence of the effectiveness of treatment provided by Pr Didier Raoult, Director of the Mediterranean Infection Marseille University Hospital Institute (Bouches-du-Rhône)

On March 26, 2020, a decree was published in the Official Journal to authorize the prescription and administration of hydroxychloroquine to patients with severe forms of COVID-19 in the hospital and on their return home. 

In this decree, it is specified that the drug Plaquenil and preparations based on hydroxychloroquine can only be dispensed by pharmacies as part of an initial prescription exclusively from specialists in rheumatology, internal medicine, dermatology, nephrology, neurology, or pediatrics, or as part of a refill from any doctor. 

What do the studies show?

Several studies published at the start of the coronavirus epidemic seek to assess the effects of chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine on COVID-19SARS-CoV-2 cases:

• An article published in the journal Cell Research on February 4 demonstrated that these molecules prevent the entry and exit steps of the SARS-CoV-2 virus in cells cultured in vitro (in a tube), thus effectively stopping its replication and its spread.

• Several Chinese clinical trials have also proven their good tolerance.

• On February 19, the authors of a letter published in Bioscience Trends mentioned an apparent efficacy and an acceptable tolerance of this treatment in view of the data, still unpublished, of 15 clinical studies in 10 hospitals in Wuhan, Jingzhou, Guangzhou, Beijing, Shanghai, Chongqing, and Ningbo.

In France, Professor Didier Raoult, who supports hydroxychloroquine, used this drug in patients with severe forms of the coronavirus. He administered it for the first time on March 16, 2020, to 20 sick patients in his department at the rate of 600 mg of hydroxychloroquine per day associated with azithromycin (an antibiotic of the family of macrolides). 

Six days later, the infectious disease specialist indicated that only 25% of them were still carrying the virus, while 90% of those who had not received treatment were still positive. 

"Our investigation shows that treatment with hydroxychloroquine is significantly associated with the reduction/disappearance, the state COVID–19 of viral load in COVID-19 patients, "the conclusions.

Editorial

On  April 1, 2020, I published an article entitled - Dr. Raoult Calls On Africans Not To Take Bill Gates’ Covid–19 Vaccine and later found out that an organization called "nobaschecker,    claims to be independent investigators on health news, denounced the art,icle fake news. My investigation has also revealed that the man is associated with the World Health Organization to suppress information.

THE CHLOROQUINE CONTROVERSY, WHO IS DR. DIDIER RAOULT?

Dr. Didier Raoult

Dr. Didier Raoult is the director of the Institut Hospitalo-Universitaire Méditerranée Infection in Marseille - Aix-Marseille University. He is in the first position for European researchers whose publications have been most cited by the international scientific community in the field of Infectious Diseases. 

This ranking was established in February 2017 on the basis of the analysis of the number of citations, of publications published in scientifically recognized Microbiology journals during a period of 7 years between 2007 and 2013.

Professor Raoult published 636 articles between 2007 and 2013, and these articles were cited 18,128 times by scientists from the international community. This list was compiled from the Clarivate Analytics database, formerly Thomson Reuters.

On the other hand, Professor Didier Raoult, as well as four other researchers attached to the IHU Mediterranean Infection, appear on the list of researchers most cited by the international scientific community published by Clarivate Analytics - Highly Cited Researcher list. 

Epidemic and spread of diseases

Whenever there is an epidemic, the true story about it or its origin is always suppressed. What matters most to world leaders is to find vaccines to fight the disease. 

At times, there is already a vaccine for the disease, but the authorities may not make that information public to avoid the accusation that they are responsible for the disease, the reason they have already made vaccines to contain the disease.

This was the case about the Ebola biological weapon, which was triggered in the West African countries of Liberia, Guinea, and Sierra Leonefor in 2014, under the administration of Barack Obama.

The US government, the World Health Organization, and the Centers an Disease Control claimed bats were responsible for the spread of the disease, yet many had no idea that the US government had already made an Ebola vaccine ready called "EboBun." It's patent No. CA2741523A1, which was awarded in 2010. 

Did the US government have a dream about Ebola to make that vaccine? Not at all, they were aware that in 2014, they were going to test Ebola biological weapons in those West African countries of Sierra Leone, Guinea, Liberia, and Congo simultaneously, which reason they made that vaccine.

The Coronavirus or COVID 19

About the Coronavirus, all that we were told is that it started from a place called Wuhan in China. Since then, the virus has infected thousands of people around the globe and claimed its victims with a destructive impact health workers are making it difficult to control.

The coronavirus is now in Africa, but the impact is not as disastrous as that of the United States of America and some European countries. The disease has affected thousands of Americans and killed over 65,000 people worldwide, while it continues to take its toll on Belgium, Spain, Italy, and any European country.

It seems there is no vaccine for the coronavirus yet because it ignited like a bush fire without any warning, but the fact we can’t ignore is that during an epidemic without any immediate vaccine to tackle the disease, European and American pharmaceutical companies are always interested in using Africans as Guinea pigs to test drugs.

From the time of slavery, colonization, and the Apartheid era, till now, Europe and America have clandestinely used Africans as guinea pigs to test drugs. This is what Dr. Didier Raoult wants to avoid after the outbreak of the coronavirus or COVID-19.

In early February, Dr. Raoult believed that this disease, which is now the subject of a pandemic, defended the use of chloroquine to counter it. Indeed, this molecule, used for 75 years against malaria, could, according to him, overcome the coronavirus.

And it is not the exponential evolution of this virus that made the scientist change his mind. He has treated 24 of his patients with hydroxychloroquine. After six days, Didier Raoult had obtained good results, since 75% of them had a negative viral load, that is to say, the virus disappeared and the patients were no longer contagious. 

For comparison, 90% of patients treated without chloroquine, in Nice and Avignon, would still be contagious after the same number of days.

Support from Donald Trump

The scientist was also supported by Donald Trump, who praised the use of chloroquine to treat coronavirus, following trials in France and China: "We will be able to make this drug available almost immediately. It's very exciting. I think it could be a game-changer or maybe not, but from what I've seen, it could be," he said.

In a world where greed, selfishness, power, and politics dominate and corrupt governments, world leaders, including the US and the Chinese governments, want to make their vaccines ready for the market against the coronavirus. 

Without any trial, this could prove fatal; therefore, the need for a trial is necessary. However, since new medications and vaccines easily find their way to African markets without much difficulty, Bill Gates has an intention to test a new coronavirus vaccine in Africa.

Corruption in Africa has allowed such dangerous vaccines to be available on African markets because the leaders care about the money that those millionaires and big pharmaceutical companies offer them than the health of the poor masses. 

This is what Dr. Didier Raoult wants to avoid, but already he has become an enemy because it’s always easier for the ignorant to believe in lies than the truth. Raoult and his team have now decided to give hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin to all infected patients. 

"We also decided, for all the febrile patients who come to consult us, to practice the tests for the diagnosis of infection with COVID-19," one specified on the side of the institute, which did not fail to create queues in front of the establishment from Monday morning.

"I don't care what other people think. I am not an outsider; I am the one who is the most ahead. In my world, I am a world star; I am not at all against the tide. I do science, not politics. Infectious diseases are not very complicated; they are diagnosed and treated, said Dr. Didier Raoult, in the columns of" La Provence .”
