No, he’s not shutting down, he’s beginning to treat all of the people, the study is meaninglessness. It’s also illegal to have a placebo when death is an expected outcome. He could not have a study while those not in the study down the hallway are dying. Coumo asked for a large shipment of HC.
In other words the HC study was so successful it was immoral to not stop and just begin trearing everyone.
In case anyone is having trouble locating the actual interview video, you have to scroll down quite a bit to find it:
Meanwhile, gov andy has been begging for supplies of hydroxychloroquine for NY.
Wonder what his game is beyond the usual self serving bs.
You obviously did NOT listen to the segment. DR OZ set up a prophylactic study, since lupus patients have not gotten Covid 19. Cuomo banned the drug in outpatients settings.
“Oz has been a professor at the Department of Surgery at Columbia University since 2001.[24] He directs the Cardiovascular Institute and Complementary Medicine Program at New York-Presbyterian Hospital.[25] His research interests include heart valve replacement surgery, minimally invasive cardiac surgery, and health care policy.”

On his TV show Dr. Oz also promotes homeopathy, faith healing and psychic communication with the dead, transcendental meditation and riki therapy and "miracle" weight-loss products among other questionable advice.

He may be a talented thoracic surgeon but that doesn’t make him qualified to conduct a clinical drug trial. My former orthopedist was one of the best in the country but that doesn’t make him qualified to do open heart surgery. YMMV.
Really interesting info in the Dr. OZ interview.
He has been looking at insurance records trying to find any Lupus patients who have gotten covid-19 and hasn’t found any yet.
He spoke with one of the heads of the Lupus Society and in his private practice this doctor treats 800 patients and the doctor says none of his patients have come down with Covid-19.
The doctor and a lot of his colleagues are “stunned” by a lot of the talk about “side effects.” They’re the ones who use the drug. Says they have used it for decades without complications. Says we don’t check EKGs and all these eye issues that are brought up only happen after 5 years of chronic use. He’s not quite sure why there is a lot of “hoopla” about it when they have been using it without those nervous anxieties. So he is pushing back a little and sending a letter to the FDA accordingly.
This info matches the results found in the Chinese study. None of their Lupus patients contracted covid-19 nor had any symptoms and none of their covid-19 patients had ever taken Hydroxychloroquine prior to this trial.
Initial info looks positive about the prophylactic properties of this drug.
Agenda driven, misleading article.
If I were and in critical condition, I would hope my doctors would treat me with whatever had the best promise of keeping me from dying. Is that the “hydroxychloroquine treatment”? Maybe it is maybe it isn’t. But I sure as hell hope they consult the best available medical literature and not turn on the Dr. Oz Show for advice.
There are several Veterans Administration hospitals in NYC.
Aren't VA hospitals federal facilities, not bound by the governor's edicts?
Cuomo is not allowing the drug to be used for outpatients. He is getting between the patient and the doctor.
It talks about lupus patients that take hydroxychloroquine.
This segment on Lou Dobbs is a must watch.
New York is supposedly doing a clinical study on Hydroxychloroquine with 1200 patients. It was started March 24th. In a press briefing, March 22nd, Cuomo said 750,000 doses of chloroquine, 70,000 doses of hydroxychloroquine and 10,000 doses of Zithromax were acquired by New York state for the trial. That is a lot of drugs that are locked up for the study. It also insures a monopoly on the research. That effectively puts any other study out of reach for any other researcher. Cuomo now has full control of its outcome.
If may intuition is correct, Cuomo may spike the results of the study so it delivers a blow against “Dr Trump.” Without Hydroxychloroquine people die, the scourge rages on and Trump continues to get egg on his face.
Coumo is a turd. What gives the power to shut down a legitimate medical study?
I am sure zinc will play a part in the treatment. However publicizing its beneficial role will get people taking too much zinc, like that guy who ate aquarium cleaner.
Taking doses higher than 40 mg of zinc daily might decrease how much copper the body absorbs.
There are quite a few conspiracy theories out there regarding Integrative medicine versus the Big Pharma/Big Government and a slew of murders of naturopathic/Integrative doctors. Some are claiming that cancer cures have already been found and are being suppressed by the government. 💁♀️
Don't know about that, but I think it's becoming very obvious the push/pull between those who would rather let a bunch of people die while the government farts around with a vaccine that won't be ready for a year and will do untold amounts of damage to people because it was rushed through production. And no, I'm not an anti-vaxxer, but I also don't believe vaccination is the answer to everything... particularly when a whole lot of people tied into the government testing and funding of it will make millions off of it in the end when they force everyone to be injected. And I suspect Fauci is tied to the Gates Foundation and this super-vaccine they are going to create—while the actual cure is an old one (because old is tired and never cool, right?) and looking everyone right in the face. Thank God for Trump who is standing up to these charlatans.
The crisis may be ending too soon so potential remedies need to cease. The new talking points are being generated.
I don’t trust OZ. He’s a liberal democrat and I think he’s a huckster. Everything he does is to make a buck IMO.
