This shows the other side of the issue on hydroxychloroquine and finding cures during a pandemic. A few non-clinical trials, doctors using medications on their own, and andanecdotal evidence are not proofs any one cure really works. Dr. Fauci has been consistent on pursing clinical trials to get good results and reliable data, and this is going to take time.

I wonder how much big science doesn’t want the generic drug to work...no money in that.

Even if there is only a placebo effect, I’d say don’t stop using the Trump pills except for the few cases where there would be known bad side effects because of existing conditions..

Fauci also said he’d give his patient hydroxy.

It is working. The demand for double blind clinical trials an normal approval is Fauci, the Hillary lover, being a prig and standing on procedure during an emergency. He has zero reason to make this end fast and have it benefit Trump.

This drug being used on Corona is not an unknown concept and it has been under study for use on corona for a few years already. This therapy is not a few testimonial/anecdotal incidents. And this drug is decades old.

Don’t be sad that it appears to be working in many geographic areas.

The only way Hydrychloroquine will not be shown to work is if the pro-pandemic crowd cook the trial results. Look for that possibility because they are desperate to keep this pandemic going.

I’m fine with Fouci, conducting good clinical trials.

But in the meantime, we have evidence suggesting it works. It’s relatively safe.

It seems common sense to make it widely available while the clinical trials are ongoing.

The French doctor Raoult (sp?) refused to do a control group because he was so convinced of the drugs efficacy that to deny the control group treatment would be unethical.

"What if hydroxychloroquine doesn’t work? What if it does? Right now, we don’t know"

Really????....

- "100% of patients that received a combination of the two anti-malaria drugs tested negative and were virologically cured within 6 days of treatment."

There are anti virals that were being used earlier before this treatment came about. Then there is intervention with an intubator until the virus clears the body. Hoping that in the meantime, organs don’t fail.

The author is a Bill Gates bot.

“Matthew Herper has covered medical innovation — both its promise and its perils — for two decades, chronicling the rise of genetic medicine and the ballooning cost of new drugs. Along the way he’s profiled major figures from Martin Shkreli to Bill Gates. From 2000 to 2018, he covered science and medicine for Forbes, writing 17 covers and building the Forbes Healthcare Summit into an industry-leading event.”

To answer the question of the title — given the successful cases of hundreds of patients in France and upstate New York and numerous anecdotal evidence around the country, WHY NOT TRY?

The treatment protocols have already been shared. What do you have to lose?

THIS IS GOING TO TAKE TIME...

Put ambition aside and administer what has been proven to be effective. Those who succumbed to the disease would have wanted the right to try Hydroxychloroquine. Every drug has some who cannot tolerate it.

It was said to have worked for about 600 infected, who were treated by a doctor and only four had to be hospitalized. But the fact that it did no harm to any of them is another critical factor.
