Katherine Seley-Radtke is not a physician,
and yet as an antiTrump Democrat, she
get to play one at The University of Maryland.

Like Yale, this “universities”
push unauthorized people and frauds
to PRETEND they are physicians.

NPR should be defunded.

Among them is Katherine Seley-Radtke, who is a medicinal chemist at The University of Maryland

I'm sorry, a "medicinal chemist" is *not* a medical doctor. This person has no standing to comment on medical treatment.

We will be hearing stories like this until Orange Man is gone. Hopefully in 4 (or more) years. Democrats are saying we can’t have an election until this Coronapocalypse is over.

What is a medical chemist anyway? She works in some lab over a pile of test tubes. Real doctors work in hospitals trying to save human beings. I really believe this woman would prefer that people just die.

“...She noted warnings issued by the FDA that the drug can lead to severe problems for people with heart issues and noted that the agency urges doctors to conduct an EKG before prescribing it. (A step Armstrong said was taken on Thursday.) Another side effect involves damage to the retina.”

WRONG! Chloroquine (Aralen) has the nasty side effects!

Side effects of chloroquine that are different from hydroxychloroquine include irreversible damage to the retina, deafness, tinnitus (ringing in the ears), reduced hearing, increased liver enzymes, loss of appetite, vomiting, and diarrhea.

At the time, the nursing home was cited for 14 violations of state standards. Among them, the report shows:

The facility did not properly care for residents needing special services, including: injections, colostomy, ureterostomy, ileostomy, tracheostomy care, tracheal suctioning, respiratory care, foot care and prostheses. The facility did not store, cook and give out food in a safe and clean way. The facility was not designed, built, equipped or well-kept to protect the health and safety of residents, workers and the public.

Biased reporter trying to make it appear this care facility is a sh!t hole. BFD. 98% of all assisted living places have these same violations--most have even more. We've moved my MIL between about 5 different assisted living facilities in the last 4 years. They ALL suck.

"Physician" Seley-Radtke : "Quinine may have been
used safely going back to the Aztecs but it is Orange-Man-Medicine.
Instead, my drugs of untested flexible nucleoside (“fleximers”) and
untested nucleobases (“flex-bases) inhibitors and
thiophene-expanded purines, as well as untested pyrrolo – and
thienopyrimidines designed in our laboratories
will be used for you whether you like it or not."

The DUTY of the physician is to treat the patient in front of him, with the best of his knowledge and ability, using the treatment which, in the doctor’s judgement, creates the best odds of survival and recovery.

“or the centuries of positive use.”

“I just find it amazing that everybody, including the President, thinks that this is just no big deal to go ahead and take this.”

I believe this the same pill that was given to all US forces in Viet Nam.

When did it become so dangerous?
And where are all the studies about the great dangers?

Seley-Radtke added: "I just find it amazing that everybody, including the President, thinks that this is just no big deal to go ahead and take this."

You can bet SHE would be taking it if she came down with the coronavirus. What a despicable woman.

PLACQUENIL IS A VERY WELL TESTED RA MEDICATION. It is written by Thousands of Rhuematologist all over the USA. RA, LUPUS, SJORGEN'S, niece has been on it for years. Venus Williams uses it for Sjorgen's. Malaria, Psoriatic Arthritis, childhood arthritis (or juvenile idiopathic arthritis) and other autoimmune diseases.

If people used the name brand instead of that hard to pronuce lesser generic, more people would reconize it. Niece takes Name brand even on Medicare/Mediciad as her RA doc won't script the crap generic.

So far, coronavirus deaths in States that Trump won are approximately 25%.....States that Hillary won are 75%....so they are killing off their own Blue State voters by making it as difficult as possible to get HCQ.... Sort of like when rioters burn down their own neighborhoods when they’re mad about something

Concern is mounting after a doctor at a Texas nursing home started giving the anti-malaria drug hydroxychloroquine to dozens of elderly patients

What an absurd bit of reporting.

Every COVID-19+ patient I have seen in the past 3 weeks is on, or has finished, a course of hydroxychloroquine.

It is not at all exceptional, certainly it's not a news story.

One that I know claims it is ILLEGAL to advise anyone that this drug could prove beneficial

1/4 truth.

Drug SALESPEOPLE cannot market to physicians for off label prescribing.
