Hydroxychloroquine: how an unproven drug became Trump’s coronavirus 'miracle cure'
The Guardian ^ | 04082020 | Editors

Posted on 04/08/2020 7:05:16 AM PDT by wastoute

On 3 April, two weeks after the study was first published online, the International Society of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, which publishes the IJAA, said in a statement that the group’s board “believes the article does not meet the Society’s expected standard, especially relating to the lack of better explanations of the inclusion criteria and the triage of patients to ensure patient safety”.

This is an absolute tragedy. The left has dug in on this to the detriment of thousands of lives.

“But even more important than these shortcomings in the design of the study is how the researchers chose to measure and report their results. Forty-two patients were initially included in the study. Three were transferred to the intensive care unit; one died, one left the hospital, and one stopped taking the treatment due to nausea. The other 36 eventually recovered, and those who received the drug cleared the virus from the system faster than those who did not.”

It’s rather bizarre how they have this stubborn craving for death and destruction. How obtuse do these clowns have to be not to see the positive results of tests of HC?

Guardian definition of “Unproven”: A drug that has been on the market for 70 years with zero product-related deaths. Eff you libtard scum.

Yep. Blood on their hands...big time. You can bet your sweet bippie that IF the evil bassturds contracted the virus, they’d be the first in line screaming for the stuff. America would be so much better if the Left was gone.

The Democratic governors are making it impossible for primary care physicians from prescribing this drug in the earliest stages of the disease where it would do the most good. They have blood on their hands.

Isn’t it interesting that yesterday the CDC at the behest of Faux-ci, took the hydrochloroquine dosing info for doctors off of its web page because the 60+ year old drug has not been tested and approved for use against CV.

They say there is a 3000 person trial going on, which says to the rest of us if any of us outside of the trial becomes seriously ill, they’ll give us a pill, put us on a respirator, and see if we die, or not.

If this is a war as it has been put out by the “experts”, then why are we not putting these drugs out there to combat the enemy, even if they have not been approved by the CDC for use?

This is irrational madness. The medical experts are supposed to provide information needed by elected policy makers to make rational decisions. Instead, they are making the decisions and telling the elected officials that if they don’t strictly follow their directions that millions will die. Enough of the dictatorship of the experts.

If this was something shown to be able to treat HIV or some STD, they would be demanding it be free at any Planned Parenthood or given to 9th graders.

Why is it Trump’s miracle cure? I remember Elon Musk was exposing the benefits of HCQ way before Trump did.

Only professional affirmative-action bureaucrats and educrats are qualified to decide if a treatment should be allowed.

No problem. We'll have your right-to-try approval back to you in six months.

The Guardian ...are we really posing articles from there? FR is turning into a 24 news wasteland where some people need to post ANYTHING just to fill up content. I’ve heard it explained as that we want to see what the other side is doing...really? It’s more an exercise in self flagellation and self harm posting crap like this. Are some of you shocked the left is a death cult and wants people dead? Babies, old people, patriots, Christians? I usually never read anything by that birdcage liner but I had to browse here and see all the self harmers.

"No problem. We'll have your right-to-try approval back to you in six months."


And, since you'll be using Amazon's new "sleeping-snail-mail" policy for your prescription product delivery mechanism, add another six months onto that.

Only *unproven* because there was no opportunity to test it on this virus before. There is now and now we are doing it.

What a sham headline.

This is the Trumpian way. He draws the fools out into the open. Then, as are able to clearly see the Guardian for what it is - a propaganda fake news peddler. Next, Trump has launched his boomerang (the truth) and it is on its way back to knock the fake news manure spreaders of disinformation square between the eyes. This will be their biggest fail to date.

Democrat approach: Let them die, after all they are all old, fat, eat meat, and support Trump.

Trump approach: It’s safe and it might help. Go for it.

Interestingly, this is not Trump’s idea. The doctors thought this up and he noticed. The Left can’t stand this simple set of facts.
