so what is your issue with what Trump is doing on this? you want to tell the doctors and patients being healed in NY to wait for Fauci to say the studies are conclusive? what exactly are you complaining about? you have a problem with Trump saying why not use this medicine since there is considerable evidence that at has worked for at least some people in New York and all over the world? Your side seems to want to shut this country down for as long as hard as possbile so you all are acting like Trump is creating a problem here. The rest of us hope this works out for those who have the virus and for those who need to earn a living.
I don't even know if you're trolling at this point: Now, a drug called chloroquine — and some people would add to it “hydroxy-.” Hydroxychloroquine. So chloroquine or hydroxychloroquine. Now, this is a common malaria drug. It is also a drug used for strong arthritis. If somebody has pretty serious arthritis, also uses this in a somewhat different form. But it is known as a malaria drug, and it’s been around for a long time and it’s very powerful. But the nice part is, it’s been around for a long time, so we know that if it — if things don’t go as planned, it’s not going to kill anybody.___DJT
The problem with the chloroquine is that they do not know how it interacts with people who have the virus stat, plus if they have the virus and hypertention, it's contraindications when complicated by the virus, etc etc etc. There are a myriad of issues that come along with implementing a drug for secondary consideration. <----(I know that's not the right term, I cannot think of it at the moment). The usual FDA process would involve months and months of trials to determine if a drug has a secondary indication <---(I think that's it). If the anti-malarial drug combined with the virus in the bloodstream and certain other maladies a person has an adverse effect, maybe it would have been better to not administer it in the first place.
I never expected you to provide any substance. but, I was hoping you would this time... so we know, if things don't go as plan as hoped at least we know you will spam us with dnc shit.
trumps words were not the dnc shit... it was the crap you choose to post from the nitwiter like fucking doctors don't know the risks and don't share them with patient. the nanny nitwit states bullshit needs to end when we are facing a pandemic which could knock us back to the stone age if we wait for months until we get back to work. We should have the right take educated risks. If I had Covid... after seeing the doctors in New York speak about it... I would take the malaria drug with a zpak... almost guaranteed after what I heard NYC doctors saying.
Just for curiosity, what would it take for you to endorse Chloroquine as a treatment for Covid19? If you have contracted the virus would you take the drug?
what crap? Trump's own words on video? I'd take it if doc. recommended it sure. What would it take me to "endorse it" as treatment? What Fauci's been saying all along, you follow the scientific method, you do a double blind randomized study w/a large enough sample size & a control, then you have peers repeat the test for verification. That's at a minimum. A proper test would track any ill effects of the dosage & use for a different then prescribed purpose.
So between now and the 18-24 months it normally would take to clear those blind test studies you contract the disease and your doctor says you’d better take chloroquine...... your eating the pills. Got it.
yeah, pretty much....except doctors aren't really all on board because wait for it...they lack studies. https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2020/04/06/chloroquine-hydroxychloroquine-coronavirus-cur/ Limited studies on coronavirus patients have been published by researchers in France and China, but their extremely small size and other problems prevented them from being statistically significant. The French study included a combination of hydroxychloroquine with the antibiotic azithromycin that showed benefit in six patients, results that Trump has touted. Another study in 11 patients in France showed no evidence the regimen works. A Chinese study also showed no benefit over the standard course of treatment. What does mainstream science say? Mainstream scientists caution against using the drugs without more evidence they are effective. Anthony S. Fauci, chief of the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases, has accompanied Trump at the White House lectern and openly rebutted his declarations that the drugs are “game changers” in the fight against the coronavirus. Trump prevented Fauci from answering a question about the subject on Sunday, but that has not changed the assessment among academics that there is not enough evidence about the ability of these drugs to reduce viral load and prevent the inflammatory response that devastates the lungs of seriously ill coronavirus patients. The FDA was equivocal about possible benefits when it issued its emergency use authorization last month: “It is reasonable to believe that chloroquine phosphate and hydroxychloroquine sulfate may be effective in treating covid-19,” the agency said. What are the dangers of side effects with these drugs? The dangerous side effects of the drugs are much better known. Most seriously, the drugs can trigger arrhythmia, which can lead to a fatal heart attack in patients with cardiovascular disease or who are taking certain drugs including anti-depression medications. Doctors recommend screening with an electrocardiogram to prevent the drug from being given to the 1 percent of patients at the greatest risk of a cardiac event. The drugs also can cause vision loss called retinopathy with long-term use, and chloroquine has been associated with psychosis.
