Chloroquine Study Misinterpretation Analysis

It's laughable.

Says here, "Malaria drug chloroquine does not inhibit

SARS-CoV-2." So

this study came out this week, and this is in tissue culture.

So I looked at the study, and I thought, "That's interesting.

I don't know h- what happened there, but, uh, let me look at it." So then I saw

Cal- Calu-3 lung cells. So they said, "Hey, it may

work in kidney cells, but it doesn't work in lung cells." So in

our

evidence, yeah, it can work in vitro in, in, uh, in, um,

in l- in kidney cells but not in lung cells, right?

So I thought, "Well, then that's interesting."

I'm, I'm, I'm re... And so I, I worked at MD Anderson.

I was in ocular oncology, and I, I thought about it. I said, "I don't...

I've heard of that cell line before, Calu-3 lung cell." It's an

adenocarcinoma. It's a lung cancer cell.

So I called the... I call... I, I tweeted...

I corresponded with the author, and I said, "You are s...

I am so happy for your study. You just showed one of the

most amazing things that I've ever seen.

I never thought I would see something so clear.

You just proved that when virus is around and chloroquine is

around,

chloroquine will let

the virus attack a cancer cell."

Mm.

I s- think about that. So it will protect a normal cell,

but chloroquine will not protect a cancer cell 'cause they're diff-

dedifferentiated. The, the receptors are different.

I mean, think about that. So I wrote him back, I said, "Thank you.

That's the grea... You, you completely misinterpreted the data,

and you hid

the fact..." They hid it. They put it all the way down.

As you know, you have to look for the dataset.

So I found it in, in the appendix in little letters,

Calu-3 lung cells. This, this is the disinformation campaign that

we are faced with. They put out a big thing, and they said,

"Oh, it doesn't

work." They put it on Medical Xpress. Uh, you know, "That's it for chloroquine.

It's unlikely to work against SARS-CoV-2.

We just proved it." No, you proved chloroquine

is one of the smartest drugs in

history. It will let the viruses attack cancer

cells but not normal

cells.
