RE: What’s the population of India now?
1.3 Billion inhabitants ( most of them poor ). FOUR TIMES AMERICA’s POPULATION !!
“India bans export of wonder drug - Hydroxychloroquine”
We’re screwed.
MIGA but GTFO of our country 1st
RE: We’re screwed.
MAKE IT HERE. We CANNOT be dependent on other countries for our medicine.
West Virginia is setting up a factory to do just that even as we speak.
Considering India has a climate conducive to actually getting Malaria, I can’t say I blame them.
Yowzers!
I think we may need to work on our own supply!
“shown to be effective”
............
Sort of.... The drug actually works to slow down a body’s immune response. Older people have a much more sophisticated immune response that over-performs and damages the lungs.
........
So this drug affects people very differently. Some will benefit, some will suffer harm, depends on age and unknown immune responses in each person.
...........
That’s the reason for the caution, we need large scale studies to know what dosage, with what other drugs, for which people to treat effectively. There are some nasty side effects, like blindness.
.............
Now, if you are critical, heck, try anything that has promise. All doctors can still do that.
Now the lame stream media calls it a wonder drug. When Trump touted it, he was an idiot.
Amen
