It continues to be a curiosity for me. How a flu virus that we're being told is killing millions of people, world tally to date, when in America we also know those fatality numbers can't be trusted due to what came out about the HHS ordering doctors to declare all patients who die must have Covid 19 as the attributable cause marked on their death certificate, and untold numbers of people world wide testing positive for Covid 19, even though in America we learn we can't trust those numbers because it is being revealed that people who have not been tested are notified they tested positive for C19, that anyone would denigrate any drug, hope, people may have to fight this supposedly rampant pandemic novel virus.
But still, what helps to remember and keep the joy of Christ in my heart is taking a break to watch cute baby and puppy videos, and to then realize there is a truth to the old axiom, Devil's advocate. Some, like whom I believe to be Fauci, are entirely his.
In that capacity and in the spirit of sharing with sisters and brothers who have a genuine concern for the eradication of at least the fear that's been implanted in American society concerning Covid 19, I share this.

Furthermore, primate trials are a first step in most pharmacological research studies. That was information included in the Fauci image posted earlier. Most will remember that image and the reference to Virology Journal.
Note: The article does not state Dr.Fauci as author of said research. It refers to Fauci's NIH, National Institute of Health. Just in case the rebuttal comes as, show me where Dr.Fauci's name is attached to that article! (posted below)

Virology Journal August 22, 2005 Chloroquine is a potent inhibitor of SARS coronavirus infection and spread
Excerpted:
The infectivity of coronaviruses other than SARS-CoV are also affected by chloroquine, as exemplified by the human CoV-229E [15]. The inhibitory effects observed on SARS-CoV infectivity and cell spread occurred in the presence of 1–10 μM chloroquine, which are plasma concentrations achievable during the prophylaxis and treatment of malaria (varying from 1.6–12.5 μM) [26] and hence are well tolerated by patients. It recently was speculated that chloroquine might be effective against SARS and the authors suggested that this compound might block the production of TNFα, IL6, or IFNγ [15]. Our data provide evidence for the possibility of using the well-established drug chloroquine in the clinical management of SARS.
Lastly, SARS CoV remains an issue.

Where is SARS now?
Excerpted:
Although co-infection with SARS CoV and another agent has not been ruled out as the cause of SARS (particularly in “superspreaders” causing numerous secondary cases), SARS CoV alone seems likely to be the cause of most cases of SARS and can reproduce the disease in non-human primates.
1,2 Coronaviruses have the distinction of containing the largest genome of all known RNA viruses. They are widespread throughout the animal kingdom, causing bronchitis (poultry), hepatitis (mice), enteritis (horses and pigs) and peritonitis (cats), but often infecting multiple sites. Known coronaviruses fall into three clades (members of two of which cause about 20% of common colds), but the SARS CoV occupies a new fourth clade of its own. It is clearly a coronavirus, but not closely related to any previously sequenced virus. It presumably arose from an animal source in southern China, perhaps in a species with relatively little contact with man and in which viral disease has been little studied. The civet cat has been proposed as a possible source, but systematic studies of coronaviruses in a wide spectrum of wild and semi-domestic species are not yet complete.
RNA viruses tend to evolve rapidly and coronaviruses frequently undergo homologous recombination, so that co-infection with an established human coronavirus and SARS CoV could lead to emergence of new virus species combining various features of the parental strains.
