Why scientists are studying chloroquine

Quote:

that the early results for hydroxychloroquine looked promising, is largely responsible for the death of the moron who drank pool cleaner

ACtually those "early reports"were not only questionable, they were a bit fraudulent. And for the president to jump on some kind of stupid bandwagon is reprehensible. He is offering advice ( more or less) to those not able to understand how "safety " has to be up there with "efficacy" ever since the Thalidomide years.
Trump used words like "This could be a game changer",or Its "very exciting news".
Yeh, hes gotta bear some heavy responsibility. He should have just kept his big fat mouth shut. Of course, when has he ever done that in 3.3 years. besides his more criminal talents,Hes an ego maniac and you have faith in him yet?

And yes, I asked you to name me one University (besides TRUMP UNIVERSITY), that is failing???

Doctor Says He Was Removed After Questioning Drug Promoted by Trump

The doctor who led the federal agency involved in developing a coronavirus vaccine said on Wednesday that he was
removed from his post after he pressed for a rigorous vetting of a coronavirus treatment embraced by President Trump.
The doctor said that science, not “politics and cronyism,” must lead the way.

Dr. Rick Bright was abruptly dismissed this week as the director of the Department of Health and Human Services’
Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority, or BARDA, and as the deputy assistant secretary for
preparedness and response.

Instead, he was given a narrower job at the National Institutes of Health. “I believe this transfer was in response to my
insistence that the government invest the billions of dollars allocated by Congress to address the Covid-19 pandemic
into safe and scientifically vetted solutions, and not in drugs, vaccines and other technologies that lack scientific merit,”
he said in a statement to The New York Times’s Maggie Haberman.

“I am speaking out because to combat this deadly virus, science — not politics or cronyism — has to lead the way,” he said.

FDA warns of risks with Trump-promoted malaria drug

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is warning doctors against prescribing a malaria drug
widely touted by President Donald Trump for treating the new coronavirus outside of hospitals
or research settings.

In an alert Friday, regulators flagged reports of serious side effects and death among patients
taking hydroxychloroquine and the related drug chloroquine. The drugs, also prescribed for lupus,
can cause a number of side effects, including heart rhythm problems, severely low blood pressure
and muscle or nerve damage.

In one such report, doctors at a New York hospital said that heart rhythm abnormalities developed
in most of the 84 coronavirus patients treated with hydroxychloroquine and the antibiotic azithromycin,
a combo Trump has promoted.

Last month, the FDA authorized emergency use of the malaria drugs for hospitalized patients with
COVID-19 who aren’t enrolled in ongoing clinical trials. But regulators said they are investigating
life-threatening side effects reported with the drugs to poison control centers and other health authorities.

Calls to U.S. poison control centers involving the malaria drugs have recently jumped 50%, from 52
calls in March 2019 to 79 last month, according to Dr. Christopher Hoyte of the Rocky Mountain Poison
Center in Denver, Colorado.

No Evidence Hydroxychloroquine Is Helpful In Preventing COVID-19, Study Finds

Quote:

Taking hydroxychloroquine after being exposed to someone with COVID-19 does not protect someone from getting the disease.

That's the conclusion of a study published Wednesday involving 821 participants. All had direct exposure to a COVID-19 patient, either because they lived with one, or were a health care provider or first responder.

He is not a doctor and not responsible for what doctors prescribe. Period. End of story
