Hydroxychloroquine is a treatment President Trump has frequently supported during White House news briefings.
A recent clinical trial in Brazil testing a high dose of chloroquine to treat hospitalized COVID-19 patients was halted after a spike in deaths among patients who received the drug.
According to The Associated Press, the drug also showed no benefit in a large analysis of its use in U.S. veterans hospitals. There were more deaths among those given hydroxychloroquine versus standard care, researchers reported.
On Friday, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) advised that the drugs should be used only in clinical trials or at a hospital because of safety risks to patients and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has advised caution in prescribing them.
Or maybe it’s because of Rupert’s a-hole sons and their a-hole wives.
