6 things you need to know about Hydroxychloroquine

The Trump administration is pushing ahead with a plan to “surge” the malaria drug hydroxychloroquine to coronavirus hot zones around the country — even though there is little evidence that the treatment is effective, and ample proof that it can harm some patients.

#7. HCQ is dirt cheap, and big pharma not making billions during a global pandemic is just unacceptable.

Interesting they chose a reporter to do this authoritative-sounding presentation instead of a medical professional. Honestly, I’ve never seen or heard people so determined to piss on any hope people could have. Can’t journalists just give it a rest for once after nearly 4 years? People are getting very sick & dying but the #1 priority of journalists is still to shit on the president. This is why he has a higher approval rating than you all. I used to think (a long time ago) that the media just being critical. But now, especially with this Chinese coronavirus, they want people afraid with no hope.

The comments are great! POLITICO, get with the times.

[gordonramsay]

Trump: Please look both ways before crossing the street.

Media: No. I don't think I will. 🚘

I question this Politico video, and deem it irrelevant.

Nice audio snippets, really paints the picture you want.

I'm as left as you can get, and this is silly. If I got Corona, I'd be yelling for this.

This conundrum was shared with a childhood friend who was able to provide me first-hand feedback (on Apr-12-2020) which I'd like to share with you. (Her sister is 57 yrs old & in Amherst, MA.)

"My sister has been on Plaquenil for the last 16 months.
She tested positive last week. She's been in the hospital twice but she refuses to die there so she went home with oxygen and is hoping for the best. Doctor said if she can last until Wednesday she'll be over the worst of it."
"So no, I do not personally believe Plaquenil is a magical preventative medication. It compromises the immune system which I personally feel is horrible for this new virus.
But I'm not a doctor and unlike some people I'm not gonna pretend I am one."

*Don't worry America our Prime Minister modi is sending it to

Wow. Ya know it sounds almost, but not quite as risky as taking one of the FDA approved condition specific medications we see on TV commercials every day. People are lining up to risk getting TB and cancer to treat their psoriasis, so if you might die from COVID-19, that "might cause some heart arrhythmias" doesn't sound bad at all to me.

She said they’re looking for a CURE!!!! She’s been paid by pharma.

Who the hell is this broad ? Where are her degrees ? Another nobody !

i have been using it for years now its saving lives

One important question is -- Do Lupus or RA patients currently on Hydroxy-Q have a lower incidence of viral infections, hospitalizations or death compared to age-matched controls in the same locations? This could be a quick retrospective study using pharmacy prescriptions obtained from CEOs of CVS, Walgreens and Walmart. Certainly not a "gold standard clinical trial" but a short term indicator which might be considered. Dr. Brix certainly has access to pharmacy prescription databases, but they need to ask the proper questions.

[henrymatthews]

Wow, when their is no medicine for this and if some people are getting good results with it. I don't understand why they are so against it. I understand there's people who need it. But you have to have a doctors give you a prescription for. So I believe they should leave it up to the doctors.

Anyone who has been harmed or know of someone who has been harmed from the information from this media please contact a federal civil lawyer. Maybe you can get together and file class action lawsuits.

1 thing you need to know is all countries are stockpiling it. This tells you something. All countries think there is something here.

[omgbygollywow]

This video names all the possible negatives, but none of the positives. Why so skewed?

[doodlegoose]

And what qualifications does Sarah have to report on what the results of drugs are in testing ? Aside from being a “healthcare reporter” whatever that is.
