MEDICAL doctors in Nigeria under the auspices of Guild of Medical Directors have expressed shock over the trending video of Dr Stella Immanuel, a medical doctor in the United States of America, who claimed that the combination of Hydrochloroquine (HCQ), Zinc and Zithromax can cure Coronavirus.

The Guild of Medical Directors on Tuesday in a press release signed by Prof. Olufemi Emmanuel Babalola, its president, and made available to The ICIR said the video has been shared all over the country and led to many people justifiably asking the question of what doctors think about it.

Dr Olufemi stated that it was important for people to understand it was just Dr Immanuel’s personal opinion which has no scientific backing and could simply be regarded as “unsubstantiated claims”.

In the video that has gone viral, Dr. Stella Immanuel claimed to have treated over 350 patients in her clinic in Houston, Texas, with the combination of Hydrochloroquine (HCQ), Zinc and Zithromax.

But Olufemi said that people must understand that this is not scientific evidence and just her own personal, unsubstantiated claims.

He stated that although some studies have suggested that Hydrochloroquine was effective, while others have come to the opposite conclusion, hence the need for a medical research which has already started on it.

“As we speak, a study is underway in LUTH on its efficacy and safety. Subsequently, a meta-analysis of all these studies should be undertaken to pool all the results and come up with a summative analysis which will guide clinicians,” Olufemi said.

He submitted that until all these have been done, all anecdotal claims such as the one by Immanuel must be taken with a pinch of salt.

Olufemi also said anecdotal claims such as the herbal mixture from Madagascar have subsequently been proven ineffective.

. There fault finding does not affects anything ,They prefer people dying than getting Solutions ,That combination of drugs works

This Nigerian American based doc. had z it all. I watched her life video where she analyzed everything. The problem here in our own dear nation is that mostly all our leaders are sadists.
Anyway, I I'm not much surprised because d Bible says "the fear of God is d beginning of wisdom". Aternatively, the fear of Corona you s the beginning of it's prevalent.

This is funny, Even our own Naija doctors want to trend too

Inferiority complex will not ruin this nation IJN. Reputable well qualified physicians are saying something but we choose to believe the words of a right wing, Christain fundamentalist lunatic all because she is spewing her rubbish on the steps of the US capitol.

If she had said all these things she said in front of government Secretariat Alausa or in front of the Aso rock would people be taking her matter up like this?

Have they come up with any reasonable research concerning Covid-19?
