Trump says U.S. Death Toll will hit 100,000

In this case Google took down a video from a disreputable source who has been widely condemned by both the medical community and health community for pushing nonsense.

 

I don't enough about Dr Z to defend or agree. What we do know is that a hospital is starting a trial based on his treatment.

 

Yeah, and Youtube takes down all sorts of stuff regularly that doesn't hold to Party lines. That doesn't mean they're in the right.

 

If Hydroxycloroquine is so bad, why did the CDC recommend it for decades to anyone to take for a week prior to traveling to a country where malaria was prevalent?

It seems to make TDS symptoms even more acute.

 

It's the Clinton cabal censoring conservative voices is what I've been told in these forums

 

The question is not if hydroxycloroquine is "bad". The question is if it is an effective treatment for COVID-19. If it is not an effective treatment for COVID-19 then it should not be prescribed for COVID-19.

Hydroxycloroquine is an effective treatment for malaria - which is why it is recommenced for malaria and approved to be used for malaria.

 

If doctors, who are licensed and subject to liability find value in the treatment because of what they have learned from peers and experience and wish to treat patients, AND they get the patient approval, why is it such a concern to you or the media?

 

You think a hospital would start a trial on the Dr's treatment regimen if they didn't think it had some possibility it would work?

This is only an issue because Trump pushed it. Obama would have gotten the Nobel Price in Medicine already.

 

The FDA provided Emergency Use Authorization to use hydroxycloroquine to treat COVID-19 back in March. I previously have posted a link to the FDA Emergency Use Authorization letter.

Any doctor is free to prescribe hydroxycloroquine to treat COVID-19 in the U.S. It is a medical decision. The doctor can choose not to use hydroxycloroquine if the patient has existing heart conditions or uses Metformin.

Politicians and media pundits should not be hyping drugs as a "cure". The medical community should drive treatment options.

Plenty of trails for hydroxycloroquine are underway. So far the results are not promising that it will be a successful treatment for COVID-19. But keep in mind that most drug trials fail -- only a small percentage are successful.
