hydroxychloroquine cognitive dissonance
New York Post ^ | 04/11/12 | Isabel Vincent

Posted on 04/12/2020 8:05:52 AM PDT by Fido969

It’s an opinion shared by President Donald Trump and a growing cadre of physicians and some infectious diseases experts who believe that an effective way to control the spiraling pandemic is to prescribe the anti-malarial at the first sign of symptoms even though it has not gone through the requisite number of clinical trials.

we prescribe a tetanus shot at the first sign on a puncture by a rusty object despite tetanus never having gone through any clinical trials

Is hydroxychloroquine given prophylactically to service personnel sent to areas with high incidence of malaria?

So how many people that are on it for other reasons have caught CV19? It's over 1,400/MM in the population, so their rate should give some indication of effectiveness.\

Well, the MSM says it's "unproven." But how hard would it be to identify lupus patients taking HQ who had gotten the disease? It's like the "science" is disconnected from reality.

NOTHING prevents any physician from legally or ethically prescribing this drug off-label for any medical purpose

The MSM is complaining that Trump is acting as a doctor... but actual doctors are recommending this. More cognitive dissonance.

Are you saying that the occurrence of covid in people who are chronic users of HCQ is 1400/Million? If so, you need to give a valid reference.

The *total* cases per million in the US is 1649/MM this morning on worldometers.info.

That thread was a little hard to read, but I think there was one doc who didn’t want to prescribe HQ because it was “unproven”.

If in fact HQ saves lives, then those docs, and most of the MSM, will be on the hook for a huge lawsuit if docs refused to prescribe it for that reason.

Exactly. If none of them have contracted it to the point of being symptomatic, despite having other health conditions, then it seems very likely it works. Duh!

No I said “the population”, plus follow the logic in my post. It will be clear what I mean.

Prophylactic zinc supplements, in moderate doses, would have zero negative impact. Quinine, low dosage, similarly.

I understand how a clinical double blind study is supposed to work.
It is the proper protocol for new drugs.
But in a time crunch, we should certainly be able to make use of data we already have.

But they’re good at finding the 20% that have survived a vent.

FOLKS, just remember.... most successful cases of HCQ, including the ones published by Dr. Didier Raoult in France and Dr. Vladimir Zelenko in upstate New York show that it is most effective during the early stages of the disease, that is,as soon as symptoms are observed. If you use it at that stage, it only takes 5 to 6 days to reverse the disease. This relieves immensely the burden on hospitals and healthcare workers!

You should not wait, like UK’s Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who had to go to ICU, before you start the Hydroxychloroquine protocol. By that stage of the disease, the success rate is not well established.

“Well, the MSM says it’s “unproven.” But how hard would it be to identify lupus patients taking HQ who had gotten the disease? It’s like the “science” is disconnected from reality. “

not hard and it’s already been done .. Dr. Oz worked with people at his company, Share Care, to look at this issue ... out of several million in their DB, they found 14,000 lupus patients who take HCQ, and not one had contracted C-19:

“there was one doc who didn’t want to prescribe HQ because it was “unproven””

yeah, i looked him up (from the original non-anonymized information), and he’s a “doctor” who had been retired for seven years until he went back to work as a prison doctor ... i kid you not ...

Exactly. There was a crowd around my local drugstore minutes after Trump mentioned the drug for the first time. Store was already closed to fend off the crowds.

“FOLKS, just remember.... most successful cases of HCQ ... You should not wait”

totally true and that’s what the front-line docs have found out ... this is critical informational that freepers need to spread far and wide to their loved ones and dear friends ..
