They always mention heart and eyes to make people afraid.
I wouldn’t really mind losing a bit of peripheral vision. I wouldn’t even bother to hire a bodyguard.
This quack is suffering from a really bad case of TDS for which there in fact, is no treatment.
Anything to keep the fear going and the economy shut down.
The virus is a real threat, but does anyone seriously doubt that the real purpose/target is getting Trump removed from office.
Since this crisis started right after impeachment failed it makes you really wonder what is going on.
Or maybe Schiff wasn’t kidding when he told senators their head would be on a pike if they didn’t remove Trump from office.
Yup, its a somewhat safer form, but even that form was generally harmless.
You get a dose of 83 mg of quinine from a liter of tonic water.
I was prescribed it when I took a business trip to India. No side effects and I am still alive. The doc didn’t mention that I might die from it. Maybe because the risk was nil.
And besides that, it is a F-ING LIE!!!!
First, the drug is not that dangerous in general; it is not just used to treat malaria, it is given to prevent malaria, and most people who have traveled to a country with malaria have taken it.
Second, yes, we need to check if the drug has a bad interaction when taken while you have COVID, but we have not heard of a single study or case where there was such a reaction, so by now I think it seems rather unlikely, except in rare instances.
Third, given that millions of pills have been snapped up and used by this point, I think doctors on the front line have a pretty good feeling about whether it is helping or not, even though we will want actual studies.
ANd given that I have NOT read of a hospital telling us that they stopped using it because it wasn’t helping, I’m guessing that doctors are at least THINKING it is helpful.
Then we have the models, that “look wrong” because things are getting better quicker — which is exactly what I would expect if the models were based on ‘non-HCQ’ treatment, and now we were doing a lot of HCQ treatment and it was curing some people who might die, and reducing the number of days in hospital.
So yes, we don’t “know” — but i would think by now we would know if it was a bust. I am also thinking it isn’t as great as we would like, or we’d also know more, so it probably is “helping”, and we could use a drug that worked better. Just my opinion.
Are you or a loved one of the many thousands of people that have been cured of the ChiCom Flu with Hydroxychloroquine?
Well, the Democraps of America would like you to get back on your deathbed and shut up.
Orange Man Bad.
They should be asked what it even means to have a prolongated QT cycle - and the exact risk factor for those taking hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin. It's minute.
You have the same to lose as those who have been taking it for malaria for decades, or for lupus.
The closest I can come to a double blind test is I work in an essential business, while my wife works from home. Neither one of us has been sick. The whole social distancing thing is out the window this week anyway because of people buying Easter stuff.
Church mission trips to Guatemala include this drug in the pre-trip checklist.
And not taking it you risk your life.
Thirty years ago, many doctors would sanctimoniously tell you that sprinkling a little salt n your food would be fatal, too. Those fools have melted back into the woodwork, along with the fools who said not to eat food that had cholesterol in it.
Just having an MD degree is no guarantee of being completely foolish.
>>In 2005, he founded Critical Path Institute (C-Path), an independent, non-profit organization created jointly by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the University of Arizona to help implement the FDAs Critical Path Initiative and accelerate the development of new drugs and diagnostics.
So hes part of the system, helped create the system, that makes it a multi-year process to get a new drug FDA approved, and is very invested in that process. No wonder he doesnt like off-label use of an existing drug the side effects of which are well-understood.
If it was found that this could mitigate the effects of STDs, I’ll bet you wouldn’t see such absurd opposition from them.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but PDJT has not prescribed a single dose of this medication. I believe the treating physician is still making all the decisions for his patients. Or did I miss something.
#STOP THE HATE!
I took it before going to India. My doctor didn’t mention any risks, he just prescribed it for me and my wife.
This — and many other incidents throughout the media — is irresponsible and can not only create unneeded fear, but real deaths.
This is how the whole vaccines-cause-autism thing got started, and now folks won’t vaccinate even for things they should vaccinate for.
Disgusting...
Hydroxychoroquine prevents the virus from destroying the red blood cells ability to transport oxygen.
