New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) said Monday that early responses to the antimalarial drug hydroxychloroquine “anecdotally” suggest its use in the coronavirus fight has been “effective,” but that official data was still forthcoming.
Asked about the progress of the trials at his daily press briefing, Cuomo noted that state officials have allowed use of the drug in combination with the antibiotic Zithromax in hospitals “at their discretion.” He said the federal government would increase supplies to New York pharmacies, but that New York has imposed a 14-day limit to protect the supplies for people who rely on it to treat other medical conditions.
“The tests in the hospital, they’re too short a period of time to get a scientific report,” Cuomo said. “Hospital administrators, doctors want to have a significant data set before they give a formal opinion. Anecdotally, you’ll get suggestions that it has been effective. But we don’t have any official data yet from a hospital or a quote-unquote study, which will take weeks if not months.”
“There has been anecdotal evidence that it is promising; that’s why we’re going ahead,” he added, noting that some patients have a pre-existing condition or medication regimen that prevents them from taking it.
An increase in the supply from the federal government, Cuomo added, would allow New York to lift the 14-day restriction.

“So if hydroxychloroquine is the answer, what is the COVID19 infection rate of the thousands of people that take it all the time? Surely that info is out there but it doesn’t seem anyone is looking for it”
I’d kick out the data for those on this drug due to Lupus. That is a pretty serious disease in itself. But one would think there is good data to be had in the Arthritis group if dosages are same as being administered for the China virus victims.
anecdote[ an-ik-doht ]
SEE SYNONYMS FOR anecdote ON THESAURUS.COM
noun, plural an·ec·dotes or for 2, an·ec·do·ta [an-ik-doh-tuh] .
a short account of a particular incident or event, especially of an interesting or amusing nature.
It either works or it doesn’t Cuomo. Sounds like a lot of jabberwocky to me.
By doing so he would have an extra seven hundred dollars in his bankroll. The three hundred dollars he himself would have to pay the Black Hand terrorist and the two hundred dollars from Tessio and the two hundred dollars from Clemenza. If he did not kill Fanucci, he would have to pay the man seven hundred dollars cold cash.Fanucci alive was not worth seven hundred dollars to him. He would not pay seven hundred dollars to keep Fanucci alive. If Fanucci needed seven hundred dollars for an operation to save his life, he would not give Fanucci seven hundred dollars for the surgeon. He owed Fanucci no personal debt of gratitude, they were not blood relatives, he did not love Fanucci.
Why, then would he give Fanucci seven hundred dollars?
Anecdotal..the new commie term for “Yeah it works but we dont want to give orange man Trump bad any credit” it was actually Laura Ingraham who promoted the drug combo on her show, she has taken hydroxy twice with positive results..there are two reasons why the commie left refuses to say anything positive about the drug combo, #1 because they HATE Trump SO much they terrified to say “Yeah it works Trump was right” and also because this drug is very cheap, and very cheap is NOT what big pharma likes, they like expensive, and they want the cure to be expensive NOT cheap
So just get out of the way and let the people get access to the anecdotal medicine.
It’s NOT anecdotal you ************
It’s been proven to save lives thousands of times!
You can use a good anecdote to start a speech.
Now Democrat scum will slow-walk it as long as possible.
Deliberate mass murder.
We should use this line of denial for everything liberals want to push through without review, without testing, without checking, all their emotional do-it-now bs.
Well thats all anecdotal, we need official data, we need a full series of testing...
Gact is all this stuff has already been tested a long time ago and data is present.
This guy (Coumo) is costing NYers their lives by limiting use of this drug. It appears most effective early on.
Once you have positive, significant data, you can seek to end the trial as it is unethical to continue giving the placebo instead of the drug. It’s done often enough.
It should be noted that the decision is NOT up to President Fauci. He is NOT the head of the FDA. I believe it might be ultimately up to Steven Hahn, who seems much more reasonable, although underlings need to sign off first.
If Hydroxychloroquine is doing great, look for this to happen fairly soon.
Medicare and Medicaid databases are supposedly being used to identify hydroxychloroquine prescriptions for Lupus vs admittance for the WuFlu. I say supposedly because this was said last week and one would think that with the stroke of a few search keys that data would be already known.
This is true..I have NOT heard ONE person who has lupus say they have gotten coronavirus
In the old days of the MSM stranglehold on information,all this would have been forgotten. That is, Trump being proved right and the left condemning him.
But we live in the age of the internet and social media. I’m still looking forward to the election, now more than ever.
The only way Trump could move the massive inertia of the medical establishment was to go on television EVERY DAY and challenge them.
This he has done.
How many did Coumo let die ... ? Oh wait, they still are letting them die. So, they have this little study, it works, they know it, yet 100 feet down the hall folks are dying every single hour because they’re not in the study. Coumo is a murderer and is still killing his own people this very hour.,
Perfect!
Hopefully this latest garbage wakes up more people that the media/misleadia does not have our best interests at heart.
How many anecdotes is enough? A double-blind study doesn’t establish truth, it confirms it.
