Deep State trying to put a halt on the cure. Anything to lengthen this crisis.
I’ve read through the side-effects of Hydroxyclorquine. IF there was a risk of arithymia it was downplayed. There was no mention of “sudden death”.
Not sure if I believe this.
Ventilators are not that great statistically.
It’s like these “super” specialists feel threatened by a $5 medication solution to a health crises.
Got it, liberals, the drug is bad for you. Do Not Take It. (Leave more for us)
Same folks who give out the poison called amiodarone OFF LABEL like candy to patients with A-Fib.
They must be funded by vax makers....oh wait....
Same as the CDC, Credibility Done Cratered.
“the American Heart Association”
That would be the same group that hates Keto diets and long promoted sugar as heart friendly - that used to give PopTarts their “Heart Healthy” label (in exchange for cash).
Amazing that increase heart problems and other issues regularly show up as possibilities on 1000s of American drugs but only this one is unacceptable. This one has been studied for over half a century. And is in regular use today throughout the world as well as America. And many doctors are prescribing it for them and their family.
Does anyone find it rich that a disease that is only 3 months old in America requires double blind random studies. Ventilators don’t have that, and yet they use them. Oxygen does not have that and yet they use it.
I have no medical background. However, this report makes no effort to either describe the actual risks or balance the risks of COVID-19 against heart complications. As to AHA President’s statement that “The urgency of COVID-19 must not diminish the scientific rigor with which we approach COVID-19 treatment. While these medications may work against COVID-19 individually or in combination, we recommend caution with these medications for patients with existing cardiovascular disease,” I see no reason for assuming that the use of such a treatment under exigent circumstances diminishes the scientific rigor of evaluating approaches to COVID-19.
These are the aholes who won’t even promote the concept of say, testing for blood magnesium levels, nor suggest normalizing vitamin D/K levels to prevent arterial blockage.
It’s all about power and the $$$, baby!
In all the articles written cautioning against HCQ I’ve noticed there are a lot of; perhaps, could, may, used in these articles.
The other thing I notice is how much coverage these articles get.
Yet, when a Rheumatologist with the largest practice in the country (>2000 Patients) writes to the FDA informing them that his patients which take HCQ every day have never experienced any heart-related problems. Not one time. His practice covers more than 35 YEARS. And, this man’s real-life experience is ignored.
I think every doctor should be aware of the possible side effects of the drugs they prescribe. Some drugs are contraindicated for patients with certain medical histories. That’s nothing new. They do admit that the drug combination may work against China coronavirus. They are just advising caution but unfortunately the media will try to present it as a dire warning that the drugs are dangerous.
The best doctors don’t join these associations, and if the do, they don’t seek out leadership positions in them. They are too busy treating their patients or doing real research.
[[both drugs are listed as definite causes of torsade de pointes” and increase in the risk of other arrhythmias and sudden death,]]
How many have died as a direct irrefutable result of taking HCQ?
..... but what about all the people who don’t have heart issues?.....oh, it’s not a cure, you say?.... Well we don’t need a cure....we don’t have a cure for the flu or the common cold either..... all we need is an effective treatment so it can run its course without escalating into more serious problems..... apparently we’ve found that treatment and it’s making a lot of people mad
Whoop-de-do. So does caffeine.
The possibility of this happening is tiny.
It's "unusual" that they don't issue this same exacerbated "concern" for those taking hydroxychloroquine for rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and malaria.
How many people who die from/with the C-virus were already in the care of hospice? That is not a piece of data that we have heard anything about.
If i have the virus and have a 99.99% chance it iwll kill me, and soemone offers me a drug that has a very high success rate, BUT has a 0.00136% chance it MIGHT cause an artythmia episode that MIGHT kill me-
It’sw a no brainer
99.99% (Or whatever % it is when the virus is rapidly movign towards serious and deadly) chance of death, or 0.00136% (Or however low the chance of deaTH from the drug is) chance of death from drug- Gee- lemme think about it- Nope- gotta go with the drug on this one!
Torsade des Pointes is quite rare generally in the populations in the US. It is true that drug interaction can generate it in certain cardiac arryhthmia patients. But not on a singe dose regimen of azithromycin. There are numerous other antibiotics which are on the list as potentially causative of this.
Not a reason, if positive for SARSCOV2-CCP virus- unless one is a fragile arrythmia patient... particularly with already prolonged Q-T interval on a EKG. Even then, single dose regiment is not absolutely going to cause this.
