1. Penirillin won’t work to cure someone who already has gangrene. This is a FALSE study - it was designed to fail, but giving a medication when the patients were already overwhelmed. The best use of HCQ is early in the course of coronavirus, and given in conjunction with azithromycin and zinc. If this study had done this, the results would have been different.
2. WRT side effects, particularly heart issues, AGAIN this study was designed to fail. First, HCQ only has bad effects after long-term use. Doctors treating patients with RA or Lupus do NOT test their patients’ hearts before prescribing HCQ for a reason - because there IS no reason to do so. Example #1, my 82 y.o. mother, who has RA and has been on HCQ every day for the last 5 years - DESPITE having a cardiac arrhythmia for the last 15 years has had ZERO side effects - not WRT her heart, nor retina problems (another possible LT problem with HCQ).

This is a safe medication. Those against using it for treating the coronavirus are, almost to a person, very much anti-Trump. They are literally hoping/advocating for people to die in order to make Trump look bad. Scumbags, all.

”This provides evidence that hydroxychloroquine does not apparently treat patients with Covid 19,” said Dr. Paul Offit, an infectious disease specialist at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. “Even worse, there were side effects caused by the drug — heart toxicities that required it be discontinued.”

Ah, Dr. Offit. The vaccine industry’s chief propagandist. They’re all coming out of the woodwork now.

It’s not a study designed to fail. It’s a retrospective study. They’re looking back at what already happened and comparing the results.

Dr. Offit received the Luigi Mastroianni and William Osler Awards from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, the Charles Mérieux Award from the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases, and was honored by Bill and Melinda Gates during the launch of their Foundation’s Living Proof Project for global health

Notice all 181 patients had hypoxemic pneumonia (can’t get enough oxygen.) They didn’t give them antibiotics for the pneumonia. This is malpractice

Clinical trials investigate when a drug is useful, when it’s not, proper dosage, and side-effects. All this information is good. Eventually, we will know what we have. It won’t be magic. It’ll be calibrated. In the meanwhile, we’r using the drug on a compassionate basis. For many, it’s not only the best hope, it’s the only hope. Yes, I. agree, better to prescribe hydroxy early. And, did I mention, it’s cheap.

From a poll released yesterday:

Do you support or oppose the use of hydroxychloroquine to treat COVID-19 before the NIH is done testing its effectiveness?

Republicans favor 71 to 12
Democrats oppose 50 to 29

Christians favor 54 to 29
atheists oppose 24 to 61

The reason CNN published this study is because the death worshipers want people to die.

When I see anything posted on here from CNN or the Washington Post I move on. No sense in reading anti-American and anti-Trump drivel.

So only go to Dr Offit if you want to die. He won’t even try to help you. He should be called Dr Death.

This was a retrospective study. The study was NOT designed to treat patients with already badly damaged lungs. It wasn't designed to replicate anything. The study was designed to look back at patients who had already been treated and see what the outcomes were.

Not following your prescribed treatment (or your prescribed outcomes...) does not make it a bad study. We need to know what hydroxychloroquine does when given all on its own, too. It does have significant, known side effects. Is there a subset of patients who will be harmed or killed by giving it to them?

Then how does the study square with the title of this thread? ( not mine but CNN’s ).
