There were more side effects in the group of 75 people who took hydroxychloroquine, but they were mostly mild, the most common being diarrhea. The researchers, led by Wei Tang of Ruijin Hospital in Shanghai, wrote that the medicine’s anti-inflammatory effects probably helped alleviate patients’ symptoms.

“The pill didn’t help patients clear the virus better than standard care and was much more likely to cause side effects, according to a study of 150 hospitalized patients by doctors at 16 centers in CHINA.”
Yeah, OK, sure.....
I remember many years ago 15 to 20, when there was a zinc product that was a sponsor of Rush Limbaugh’s radio show. It was a Q-tip like swab that you dabbed goo in your nostrils When you felt the symptoms of a cold coming on. And it worked.
But someone in California brought forth a lawsuit for some reason or other and the product was re-configured into a different delivery system etc. they stopped sponsoring the show - I tried it once or twice in the subsequent form but didn’t continue to use it. Funny how these things repeat
Now that whole states are using the drug openly is studys and making it available for mass off label usage by physicians allover the country, the Left Stream Press is desperately making sure that people will NOT choose to use the therapy..
SCARE AND PANIC.
Someone should be shot for proliferating these lies in a time of crisis.
“zinc?”
Amen. Testing chloroquine without zinc rigs any test for failure. In tissue Chloroquine is a vehicle, not a medication. Chloroquine alkalizes the extracellular matrix, allowing cells to import zinc. Zinc is the medication.
Testing Chloroquine without zinc puts a heavy thumb on the failure side of the scales.
uhh….it was never claimed that it clears the virus.
It holds the symptoms in check so that your body has a chance to fight it off without ending up on a ventilator.
There were other, larger Chinese studies that were published several months ago where they got good results and gave recommended dosage. I’m fairly confident these studies were the basis for the use of HCQ in South Korea and other countries too (including China itself IIRC). But I guess we’re supposed to forget about those and just pay attention to this small study.
I have no opinion on the drug but I’m amazed that we have so many drug experts here.
The symptoms are also what kill you, not having the virus in your system.
No research on this permitted to be published from China should be trusted anyway.
Bloomberg + Prejudiced Lede in story = not buying it.
Yet new doctors every day pop up saying it is working for their patients. Are all those doctors just “fakes”?
Liberals don’t have to use Hydrochloroquine as their liberal press keeps citing bad things about the drug. That’s perfectly fine with me! The rest of us conservatives will have more for us to use if and when we need it.
It doesn’t attack the virus. It gives the body time to attack the virus.
+++++
I’m not sure this has been firmly established but it fits what we know better than any other theory. So I think you are correct.
It does not kill the virus. It keeps your oxygen level from declining and your body does the rest.
If so, just ignore studies that define success as testing negative for the Coronavirus. But expect studies like that to flood the airways. The MSM will hang on to any thread they can find.
The China Liars.
It's clear that Bloomberg "news" is a mouthpiece for Xi's government.
"BloomXi News"
Chinese are telling us this?
Then it must really be effective
All they have done through out this whole ordeal was lie their asses off to us. Why start believing them now?
Michael Bloomberg is a Chinese government operative.
And prevents the SIRs response that is the root cause of the critical illness
Tamiflu doesn’t clear influenza either. It shortens the duration and lessens the severity. This is exactly what plaquenil does as well. Completely fake news
It holds the symptoms in check so that your body has a chance to fight it off without ending up on a ventilator.
Exactly how it is suppose to work. If giving early enough it does help people and less ever need to be put on a ventilator.
If you are on a ventilator, this drug won’t help, the virus is too far along and did its damage. And the virus load would be insanely high to stop at that point. That is what I have been reading about this.
Yeah, I’m gonna wait until I see a non-Chinese study, thanks very much.
How dare they cite Chinese research. That is what caused this nightmare.
