FDA allows Novartis to test Hydroxychloroquine against COVID-19: Study to be conducted in a dozen US Labs

Yea, but are they using Zinc? This is like testing a gun without bullets if they aren’t. SO, is the test purposely designed to discredit Hydroxychloroquine or to succeed. The details omit any mention of zinc.

Should have results and approval by 2025. /sarc.

[kabar]

You left out, There is no cure for the virus, which has infected more than 2 million people worldwide.

The MSM can't report straight news without editorial comments directed against Trump. The article doesn't state when the results will be available.

These studies test Hydroxychloroquine - they never seem tp mention that the treatment that works is Hydroxychloroquine + ZPak + Zinc.

By itself Hydroxychloroquine isn't effective - are they setting it up for failure?

The pandemic will be long since over before these FDA bureaucrats get anything done.

[a fool in paradise]

lab testing

need field testing too. People are dying waiting for relief.

[Buckeye McFrog]

What good is another lab study when there are actual patients out there?

That was my first thought. The hydroxychloroquine is there to allow the zinc to do its job. You need both.

This drug probably saved my nephew’s life. It is saving tens of thousands of lives but won’t be sanctioned by DS medicine until we’re dealing with COVID 21.

Re; This drug probably saved my nephew’s life

How was his condition prior to taking Hydroxychloroquine?

How long did he stay in the hospital after taking it?

Was it HCQ alone, or did he take it with Zinc?

Thanks

FDA Allows

FDA is in the way, killing people not helping. This is unbelievable - the best drug cocktail at less than a dollar a day and big pharma/FDA are letting people die and destroying the economy

[hardspunned]

He’s 50, overweight and diabetic. After being admitted to a Toledo ICU (no ventilator), he was given the three drug protocol. He was home eight days later.

[who knows what evil?]

FDA allows...ye gads.

[Mouton]

adding that the drug supply would be provided by Sandoz,

Wow. I guess if they need a placebo they will probably use LSD developed by them long ago??

I love how these articles say in essence that the President advocates for using the drug while officials say there is no cure for Corona. They kind of leave out the point about he says it is a possible therapy, not a cure, but they obfuscate that point.

Sounds that way. Check from big pharma must have cleared.

[Chauncey Gardiner]

Good analogy...”gun without bullets”. I’ve seen at least a dozen “studies” testing HCQ by itself stating it was not as effective as originally thought. Baloney. Peel back the onion and most of these are funded by big pharma.

“What good is another lab study when there are actual patients out there?”

They are trying to protect people from side effects like accidentally become malaria resistant.

Plus democrats are hanging on to anything they can bash trump with

[FreedomPoster]

It seems that way. It’s why others are limiting HCQ’s use only to those that have been hospitalized, if not in ICU intubated. And must be a recognized clinical trial!

[SueRae]

Isn’t that the truth.
