CDC removes 'snake-oil' cure for coronavirus which first family promotes. CDC quietly deletes hydroxychloroquine guidance as study hyped by Trump comes into question The CDC published “highly unusual” dosing guidance based on “unattributed anecdotes rather than peer-reviewed science” last month amid pressure on federal health officials from Trump, Reuters reported. The agency now appears to have quietly removed those guidelines from its website this week. Eli Lee of the watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington first flagged the changes Tuesday. The site no longer says that “some U.S. clinicians have reported anecdotally different hydroxychloroquine dosing” and both hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine are “reportedly well-tolerated in COVID-19 patients.” It also no longer says that both drugs “are currently recommended for treatment of hospitalized COVID-19 patients in several countries.” Instead, the first line of the page now reads: “There are no drugs or other therapeutics approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to prevent or treat COVID-19.” The page adds that “hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine are under investigation in clinical trials.” Medical experts were alarmed when the site published the previous guidance. “Why would CDC be publishing anecdotes? That doesn’t make sense. This is very unusual,” Dr. Lynn Goldman, the dean of the Milken Institute School of Public Health at George Washington University, told Reuters. Trump has repeatedly touted the drug, which is also sometimes prescribed to patients with lupus and rheumatoid arthritis, as a potential cure for the coronavirus even as doctors warned that the drug had “major side effects,” including “severe cardiac arrhythmias that can even cause death.” The president has dismissed those warnings, questioning: “What do you have to lose?” But the CDC has also warned that the drug “can cause serious health consequences, including death.” The Department of Health and Human Services cautioned that clinical trials were needed to “provide scientific evidence that these treatments are effective.” The American Medical Association further expressed concern that the rush to order, prescribe and dispense the medication could result in shortages for patients in need. Trump has repeatedly cited a small French study recently published in a medical journal. However, the publisher put out a statement last week announcing the study did not meet its “expected standards,” according to Retraction Watch.
LOL : he comes in wearing a single glove.. DeSantis shows up to coronavirus briefing wearing a single glove – then touches his face with his bare hand
Trump has been a cheerleader for the drug hydroxychloroquine, pointing in a tweet and in person to a French study as evidence that one particular drug combination might be ‘one of the biggest game changers in the history of medicine,'” CNN reports. “But now the medical society that published that French research has issued a statement saying the study ‘does not meet the Society’s expected standard.'”
it's quite the opposite actually, he just likes the smell of it inb4 redhat cultists come in saying Donnie never peddled a cure
