The anti-malaria drug that President Trump touted as a possible treatment for coronavirus, hydroxychloroquine, successfully lowered the death rate among hospitalized COVID-19 patients in the most recent study of the drug. The large-scale analysis, conducted by Henry Ford Health System, was published Thursday in the peer-reviewed International Journal of Infectious Diseases. The study examined 2,541 patients who had been hospitalized in six hospitals between March 10 and May 2, 2020.

What's up with Trump buying up all the Remdesivir ?
How does that look good ?
Aren't we still trying to dump off 40,000 ventilators ?
And ya.....Trump got rolled by another cheap shot from the Media re: Chloraquine.

It has been used for over 50 years with excellent results. Some blood pressure medication also have chloroquine and they are also effective. Big pharma wants money and HXC is cheap.

Please show proof that Trump said we should inject Clorox into our veins or quit lying.

FTA: "However, the study scientists say negative publicity and safety concerns about hydroxychloroquine — some of which they say is inaccurate or out of context — has made it difficult to recruit enough volunteers to take part." I think that was the whole purpose of the negative publicity in the first place. The left, their minions and the fake news media simply cannot give Trump a win. To the left etc., it is worth many deaths due by denying this drug if it means Trump is not re-elected.

It's cheap, and it's been around for more than 60 years, and it works. There's no money to be made off of it, so the drug companies and the media will shoot it down.

This is an outrage !! If people start taking this drug and find that they are not getting sick, the economy may return to normal and Democrat plans for a new tyranny will be foiled !!

The real tragedy is that the negative fake news regarding HCQ "dangers" scared off hundreds of patients from participating in the study some of which died from not getting this treatment. If this had been used widely in New York early (as it was by Dr. Valesko) the mortality rate could have been half of what it was. The Trump haters literally have blood on their hands over this.

How many lives may have been lost because of the Democrat campaign to boycott this drug for political reasons?

The design of this trial is a bit opaque. I suspect that patients were in fact randomized by a protocol, but this randomization was hidden from readers because informed consent was not obtained, and the study was not approved by an obstructive human use committee.
The data show convincingly that hydroxychloroquine prevents sick patients from dying of COVID-!9. Great news!
I suspect that about half of all medical personnel seeing COVID-19 patients, and most of the patients they are caring for are taking hydroxychloroquine.

Oh, darn....peer reviewed, 2,500 patients...death rate cut in half.
And the drug costs pennies, not $3,000 per patient like Remdisivir which was not claimed to reduce deaths, but reduced recovery time by 1-2 days.
I know which I will be insisting on if I get sick with this stuff.

I think it is important to take the drug with zinc, but i am sure everyone knows that. I am happy to be corrected if I remembered incorrectly.

I wouldn't have thought having heart problems and being on blood pressure meds, along with taking daily multivitamin with zinc, would be a good thing. Apparently it is. As an 'all lives matter'
conservative, I will insist on the cheap fix if I ever become infected. What are liberal Trump haters, and the BLM, hate anything invented by Whites bunch,going to take if they catch it?

I think the zinc connection is irrelevant. No mention of it here, I doubt it harmful, but also, probably irrelevant.

Use with zinc and Azithromycin. This won't be touted on the evening news. Whoopi and Joy Behar will never admit they were dead wrong. I saw them bloviating about heart risks. Anything to disagree with President Trump.

Sure - - OK - - hydroxychloraquine can save tens of thousands of lives. But what about injectiong Clorox into your own veins with a football inflating pin? Isn't that what Trump really wants us to do?
