Rachael Maddow demanding someone be taken off Live news broadcasts, for our protection! That's Rich!

It may not be a “cure”, but it sure seems like it is helping.
A lot.
If this continues to hold, then it really would move COVID-19 down to “it’s just a flu” status.
$20/month for the anti-malaria stuff thats been around for over 60 years versus the $1000/month Gilead stuff. Now, which one do you think the FDA is gonna push for?
It has been studied for use against SARS, another coronavirus. Maddow is a hack.
No panaceas but chloroquine certainly may help.
It is safe and available.
South Korean doctors recommend its use.
FDA this week approved a clinical trial to determine efficacy in a well controlled study being done by a group in Minnesota.
No one claims it’s a panacea or wonder drug, but it is available to use now and could help.
Nope. No money in it for bob pharma which now drives the healthcare train.
But what are doctors now prescribing? We heard form Dr. Grace from Lenox Hill Hospital who was having good results from it, treating Covid patients.
The South Koreans and Chinese are using it, and they seem to be shrinking their cases? The Chinese had tested 1000 drugs against Covid and chloroquine was the best.
We haven’t heard bad news except that the FDA hasn’t approved it for Covid - and the answer to that is it takes them years to study it and make decisions.
Didier Raoulte is a world renown French biologist, and he was very positive on chloroquine as treatment for Covid in his study.
With the previous experience, the low cost, the dearth of other available treatments, and that it is a well known safe drug that is dirt cheap, I would be using it. That is why Doctors are now using it all over the world.
It would be inhumane and stupid to wait for a study when you can save lives with this well known drug!
In a war you fight with the army you have not the army you want.
That is a very low quality study. If hydroxychloroquine has any therapeutic benefit, it must be revealed through high quality studies. That means randomized and blinded.
Ask the drs in the briefing if they’d take it. They’ll say yes.
I’m telling you it’s being used
At this point I wouldn’t give a crap whether it was a randomized and blinded trial or FDA approved. If I were to test positive I would absolutely demand the “right to try” it.
Why anyone that has become infected isn’t doing so is beyond me.
Madcow’s interest is to keep making the Coronacrisis worse not better.
Instead of just talking about it, they should try it and find out.
Disregard Misleading Headline. Listen to the Dr.
"Medical Opinion" is one of the worst obstructions of public health that I'm aware of. It brings to mind the discovery that stomach ulcers could be cured simply by the administration of a proper antibiotic. It took decades before "medical opinion" accepted that in a widespread way.
Most doctors I know are quite intelligent. However, their years of training focuses them on memorizing a near infinite measure of "medical opinion". It leaves little room for discovery and analysis of conflicting items.
Some of this is quite necessary. If a doctor spent time second guessing himself on life and death decisions, he would go quite mad. Nevertheless, now is the time to make decisions on the best available information and facts, not on "medical opinion". I'm glad we have a president who has the fortitude to do just that.
Rattlesnake antivenin isn’t 100% “safe”. There are potential side effects. Especially the older stuff made using horses. There is always a chance you’ll get an allergic reaction and die from the treatment. But...
If you get bitten by a rattlesnake, are you going to refuse the antivenin?
Not sure if this qualifys for the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list; your call . . .
Great. I’m allergic as can be to Plaquenil. Get hives all over, palms of hands, bottom of feet, including inside mouth and other um, just say places.
