Malaria drugs touted by President Trump as possible COVID-19 treatment trigger FDA warning of 'serious side effects and death’
Chicago Tribune ^ | April 24, 2020 | AP

Posted on 04/24/2020 9:49:31 AM PDT by Stravinsky

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is warning doctors against prescribing a malaria drug widely touted by President Donald Trump for treating the new coronavirus outside of hospitals or research settings.

In an alert Friday, regulators flagged reports of serious side effects and death among patients taking hydroxychloroquine and the related drug chloroquine. The drugs, also prescribed for lupus, can cause a number of side effects, including heart rhythm problems, severely low blood pressure and muscle or nerve damage.

But I thought the press were so concerned that lupus patients might run out. Now the press says it's deadly poison? Well why do they hate lupus patients and want to kill them then?

By the way, they might ask how many lupus patients are actually getting china virus. Because I saw a doctor who runs treats hundreds of lupus patients and he said that none have gotten the virus (as of a couple of weeks ago). Hmmm.

Obviously the Chicago Tribune hates blacks and wants them to die out. First abortion where the majority of abortions are black, now HCQ because they don’t want vulnerable blacks to recover. They don’t even do anything about black youth shooting each other.

Maybe there needs to be a resist the media lies movement. Protests outside the journalist’s residences would be appropriate.

Every drug on the market says the same thing. You hear it on TV all the time.

Based on yesterday’s press conference, the media will be reporting the same about the sun and summer weather soon.

Interesting that all the LIBERAL newspapers (I know I repeated myself there) keep trying to convince us that they really know better than the President’s advisors and the Trumpster himself. So to prove as such, they keep throwing out little tidbits that supposedly support their science-illiterate stance and ignore those that do not.

But we know that they are merely journalists. That title used to garner at least a little bit of respect.

No longer.

Are all medicines administered with the same dosage to all people? Do medicines have interactions with other medicines?

If this is because of that VA study, they must being trying for more deaths.

Look at the study, they added 19 dying patients to the HC cohort and completely changed the result. (Compare table 4 to the results on page 2) and even though the HC cohort was already less healthy to start with.

[[[Are all medicines administered with the same dosage to all people? Do medicines have interactions with other medicines?]]]

One interesting addition is that the doctor on LI’s show mentioned he is dosing HC by the patient’s weight.

President Trump said himself that if you had heart problems, you shouldn’t use it.

Good grief these idiots just never stop with their fake news.

They keep embarrassing themselves, and they never learn.

So now the drug which has been around for plus 50 years is bad , because the President said it could work.
So the drug has side effects like every drug out there.

Only the most stupid people in this country would entertain the media today

Which doctor? Which hospital? Facts make a difference and the media is not providing any facts relevant to these drugs.

Sounds like the junked up AMA journal report from South America. I read that one and it is so fake and incompetent, like a 5th grade class conducting a study.

this is the gist of the report: “In one such report, doctors at a New York hospital said that heart rhythm abnormalities developed in most of the 84 coronavirus patients treated with hydroxychloroquine and the antibiotic azithromycin, a combo Trump has promoted.”

So now we act based on 84 reported problems-the real key si because Trump has promoted it.
See Dr Zelenko treatment of now 1,000 + patients

Millions of people take or have taken Hydroxychloroquine. This is ridiculous hysteria for politics.

Yes of course, any drug has risks. A ham sandwich has risks just ask Mamma Cass.

4 out of 5 people put on ventilators die. Nobody is questioning the use of ventilators though. Why?

The studies showing risks of HQC are in the main among the very sick and people with existing conditions. The evidence we have, “anecdotal” as it is, is to give the drug combination as early as possible, upon onset of symptoms or upon diagnoses with risk factors. If you wait until a person has to go to the ICU and get put on a ventilator you are already way too late.

HQC+AZ+Z work together in several ways, altering the pH in the body, preventing infection, and blocking the cell receptors the virus binds to. This slows down viral replication and allows the body time to build its own natural immune response. That’s why you have to give it early, not when a person is already near death. They all know this. If I know it, they know it.

They really are a bunch of dirtbags in the Swamp and in the media.

And now it’s the worldwide mosts common treatment.
Those who invested themselves in discrediting the treatment early on look like idiots.
