Needs more research on fertility effects.

The idiot Tina’s last sentence:”That being said, about 25% of patients receiving it have severe side effects, including multiple-organ dysfunction syndrome, septic shock, acute kidney injury and low blood pressure. Another 23% demonstrated evidence of liver damage on lab tests.”
So, the conclusion is that about 48% of the patients (almost every other one!) will experience serious or severe side effects. Wonderful.
Thanks for links to side effects of remdesivir. Yes, one has to scroll to the bottom to find the negative, the downside. I wonder why they even bother to report it at all.
Yet progressives will screech and make a mountain out of a molehill regarding HCQ side effects without pointing out that the HCQ side effects are very rare and its side effect profile is similar to aspirin.
Side effects are one thing, efficacy is another and there is no efficacy data on remdesivir worth publishing. There are only progressive reporter’s snarky comments.
It’s obvious to any serious medical research scientist that remdesivir media, patent holders, investors will do anything, say anything, to promote their product over the cheap HCQ treatments.
Right off the bat this Politico noob smears HCQ treatments:
“Over three weeks ago, hydroxychloroquine was all the rage in MAGA world, despite flawed and scattered evidence about whether the drug could help cure coronavirus.”
And then does nothing to report on efficacy of remdesivir against COVID-19/
Adding insult to injury, such progressives, including progressive governors, will mock Trump supporters as failing to heed science, when in fact they have no ‘science’ to offer themselves but will say they “listen to the science”. They resort to bullying in media to get viewers to discount treatments shown to work well that are not part of their ‘science’ even though they have no science.
They turn science into a game where they are a cheerleading squad on one side. It’s not only insulting and dangerous, it demeans the prestigious history of rigorous disciplined American science.
And they demonstrate the same nonsensical patterns of insults when screeching about ‘Climate Change’.
There was a NY Times report a month back on Dr. Zekenko who is a brilliant medical doctor and is one of the leaders of HCQ combination treatment.
The NY Times called Dr. Zelenko a “Right-Wing Star”.
Dr. Z is an Orthodox Jew of the Hasidic community.
But the NY Times writers had to turn successful HCQ treatments into a “right-wing vs. left-wing” issue.
The fake news media of today is literally insane.
Well, we gotta get eugenics started somehow. /s
They managed to get nearly half of a group of severely ill patients out of the hospital which is very good compared to results for other treatments.
Patients as sick as the ones in this limited Gilead study are probably past the point where HCQ + other drugs is effective.
