UAB infectious disease doctor and recovering COVID-19 patient Dr. Michael Saag said he felt “a little bit unhappy with myself,” after trying a largely untested treatment for the new coronavirus during his illness.

“I survived, but I can’t tell you that it worked,” Saag said. “What we need are randomized, controlled clinical studies.”
Well, at least he didn’t experience the “extreme side effects” that Rita Wilson did (nausea, dizziness, weakened muscles). He’s unhappy...why?
Bummer. They could have given him the placebo.
Waste of a dose of hydroxychloroquine.
To be part of the study.
Our Fake News will be searching high and low for stories like this now that Trump is making plans to get our economy back up and running very soon!
Suck it Fake News!
Yeah doc. Let's see if we can round up a couple thousand volunteers to infect and deny treatments. Moron.
OK, so someone had arrhythmia after taking it in the Brazil study. Shall we pull out the leaflet that comes with any number of OTC medications starting with Tylenol to get a nice little list of “possible side effects”?
So let’s stop using Chemotherapy on Cancer patients, then.
"Liberal Treated With Hydroxychloroquine Hopes He Still Dies Of COVID-19 To Prove Trump Is Stupid"
It’s the job of affirmative action bureaucrats and educrats to decide what the peasants should be allowed to take.
I guess we can’t count on his vote come November.
Yes.
Exactly the same protocol used to prove parachutes work!
Bullshit
I’ve taken quinine drugs since the 70s as dengue fever therapeutic and a prophylaxis against malaria in the Congo and Sierra Leone and Haiti etc
I’m also taking it preventatively now similar protocol
The first quinine dope I took was the older forms which had more side effects
Now I’m taking hydroxchloroquine and feel nothing from it
My asthmatic son is taking it too..
This is just counter Trump agit prop
Quinine dope is arguably as used a drug as any tropical illness medicine and how many deaths from hydroxchloroquine pray tell in years and years
None that can be attributed solely to the drug
Azithromyacin is much more dangerous
People take quinolones for decades for lupus and rheumatoid arthritis and tropical flying insect borne illnesses
These drugs are safe....
The media and left wing docs are willing to kill Americans to hurt Trump and his supporters
I read that in AL.com today. The doc is a real asshole.
Does that mean that half the participants have to die to satisfy this guy?
-PJ
I have arrhythmia with coffee and orgasms as a rule
No intention of quitting either I can promise
Tylenol. Alcohol. All of those anti-depressants have possible side effects of hallucinations, depression, rage and violent outbursts. It may be very low, e.g. maybe even just 1 in 100,000 get violent delusions of grandeur. But give those pills to 5 million people and you’ve got 500 lunatics.
The pills help some people. They also kill others, including those who don’t even take ‘em.
This ‘doctor’ sounds as dumb as mud.
He didn’t know about the ‘potential fatal side effects’...
OF DRUGS THAT HAVE BEEN AROUND SINCE THE FLIPPING 1800’s ?!?
What a marron !!!
Side effects: Not dying. What a hypocrite.
No one forced him to take the drug.
He had to approve its use.
I’m guessing he wanted to live.
And he did live.
Would he have preferred to be on a ventilator until he died?
What other treatment would he liked to have?
