A week after the World Health Organization (WHO) paused its large study of the anti-malarial drug to treat COVID-19 due to concerns it increased death rates and irregular heartbeats in patients, the UN body today said the hydroxychloroquine coronavirus trials will resume.
"On the basis of the available mortality data... the executive group will communicate with the principal investigators in the trial about resuming the hydroxychloroquine arm," WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus told a virtual news briefing.
Earlier, the WHO had said that in light of a paper published last week in the Lancet that showed people taking hydroxychloroquine were at higher risk of death and heart problems, there would be "a temporary pause" on the hydroxychloroquine arm of its global clinical trial.
"This concern relates to the use of hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine in COVID-19," WHO said, adding that the drugs are approved treatments for people with malaria or autoimmune diseases.
Other treatments in the trial, including the experimental drug remdesivir and an HIV combination therapy, are still being tested.
Tedros said the executive group behind WHO's global "Solidarity" trial met on Saturday and decided to conduct a comprehensive review of all available data on hydroxychloroquine and that its use in the trial would be suspended for now.
However, India continued to use the drug in preventive treatment for COVID-19 under strict medical supervision.
"We found there were no major side-effects except for nausea, vomiting, palpitation occasionally. Hence in our advisory, we have recommended that it should be continued for prophylaxis as there is no harm. Benefit may be there," ICMR had said.

Hundreds of scientists who reviewed the study questioned the way the data was gathered and it was later discovered that the study was made by a small company named Surgishpere.
Who’s got the SNL “Never Mind!” meme?
Amazing how Trump canceling all of your funding tends to get your mind right.
Fake maneuver. They’re trying to get Trump to reverse his removal of WHO funding. It’s not happening. Not for a while at least.
The damage has been done. No doctor in their right mind will buck the system. It would be like trying to keep your job In a University after stating that evolution was complete bull sharts.
Which makes this an ordinary virus which comes around annually.
When I read what he said about "time" I became more convinced that it was made in a lab...and introduced into tghe public sector...accidentally or deliberately...doesn't matter.
How many in the lab died...like they're going to admit it.
So did WHO announce that the Surgisphere “study” of the 6,000 hospitals was purely bogus and phony?
“...Fauci’s latest....Vaccine will likely only give protection for 3-6 months....one year very doubtful...”
What is the point? Fauci: just go away.
......there would be “a temporary pause” on the hydroxychloroquine arm of its global clinical trial........
......Other treatments in the trial, including the experimental drug remdesivir and an HIV combination therapy, are still being tested........

It would seem to me that the “hydroxychloroquine arm” of the “global clinical trial” has now been, in effect, sabotaged by pausing it and not the other “arms”. Was this sabotage the REAL reason for the “pause”?
RE: When I read what he said about “time” I became more convinced that it was made in a lab...and introduced into tghe public sector...accidentally or deliberately...doesn’t matter.
The question for me is this — WHICH LAB?
Funny how Cavuto and the rest of the commie media were screaming TAKE THIS DRUG AND DIE now WHO says Eh you can use it now
Stupid, Stupid, Stupid.
It works, not matter who at WHO thinks it politically correct to admit it.
Or who is Bought at WHO by those who own the anti virus intellectual property being tested.
So it’s not ‘Dangerous’ after all? Is that what they are saying now? They were so certain it was ‘dangerous’ that they ceased use immediately out of supposed ‘sheer concern’
They just can’t stop lying- How can they be trusted about anything?
They “science” (and align with Communists)
not sticking up for the vaccine- but the point in their minds i think would be that people will still get the virus after taking vaccine, but get it ‘less severely’ I guess- then have antibodies (Though there is some question as to whether or not that antibodies will last- but I think the reason they are saying it might not last was because ‘tests’ showed people getting it again, but come to find out, tests are inaccurate- so who knows if the antibodies stop protecting after only a short time-?)
Now, if only we can find a cheap quick cure for TDS.
Or when half the world ( most of the 3d world) tells you to FO because they are using the drug to survive regardless of your “ orders”
