You mean American Drug Companies are worried about a compeditor taking some of their profit

[-Hooman-]

I am from the UK me, my parents my friends we all have had the same vaccine (AstraZeneca ) we all are absolutely doing well on it I think American's drug factories are more worried for their profit than their citizens

[georgeholloway]

Editorially reprehensible title to this video. He explicitly did not say that experts are specifically worried about the Oxford vaccine.

[chrisbenton]

79 people had suffered rare blood clots after vaccination - 19 of whom had died in UK

[richie]

We the citizens should demand congress test it first

[larrybu]

Matt Herpper is not a doctor. Why did they interview him? Why do we have to listen to this guy?

[ross]

I had Oxford i am fine no problems at all .2 week still ok

[BY-sfdn]

More politicians and media people are turning into scientist and doctors, interesting.

[dankarp]

I wouldn't believe this guy about anything, ever.

[Grapevine]

Who is Matt Herper? He has a bachelor's and a master's in science, but he is not really an independent expert. Another example of journalists interviewing other journalists. Is there an ethical problem with journalists becoming the persons generating the news and becoming the news. He just does not sound like an independent expert. He sounds like someone who read a lot of Google News articles.

The expert they had on this show needs to keep up with the latest study.

[rosalinaayala]

HCQ did not work because the dose was too high and given too late in the illness, that's why people died of heart arythmia. If they had gotten a loading dose of 400mg and maintenance 200mg early in the disease then they would have lived. All the people in Africa who are on low dose HCQ for malaria have been protected from serious corona.

[kristaylor]

Because it’s not American they will say anything

[mikedee]

Disgraceful and at best disingenuous reporting by the male interviewer. His comments were border line stupid and very poorly informed. Either he or the researchers who set these questions need either proper scientific advice or to shut up.

[antigaid]

Stop inviting pseudo Professors. REAL ONES ARE AT WORK

[thinker]

Hold on this warning ⚠️ 8 months ago???

[david.juillet]

Can someone please tell the guest his inner alien is looking out of his eyebrows?

[RWildekrav]

Let trump try it first then McConnell, then Lindsey Graham and all the trumps

[bkanegson]

40% effective can also be 80% dangerous as far as unintended dangerous side effects. Listening to scientists and researchers, not politicians or pundits.

Obviously this individual is having difficulty with TDS. Two studies just came out from European countries that show good benefit with HDQ. Also, one of the studies that was used to say it didn't benefit patients was on those that were critically ill, the doctors around the world that were using this have all said once the patient is critical HDQ was of no benefit. What makes it so bad is one of the studies that has been used to say HDQ did not work gave these very ill patients toxic doses of HDQ. One doctor commented that they wanted to make sure the study did not show any benefit.
