This is not a drug people want to be taking. It is advised when traveling to a place where malaria is prevalent to not take the drug as a prophylactic, as the side-effects are often worse than getting malaria.

Ouch. this post hasn't aged well.

We now now that taking hydroxychloroquine actually increases your changes of dying from coronavirus. At least that's what the latest VA studies show that were released this morning.

You are of course outrageously biased. One would expect very good data from the VA. And it will be published soon in the New England Journal of Medicine. That is about as high up the academic staircase as you can get.

It is certainly not a definitive piece. But it basically suggests much caution. And that is what would be the right thing to do.

Ancedotal mumbo jumbo now being touted by lefty and their commie overlordes.

“but now I think that people have realized we don’t know if it works or not†and needs more study, said Safdar, who had no role in the VA analysis.

The NIH and others have more rigerous tests underway.

A malaria drug widely touted by President Donald Trump for treating the new coronavirus 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.
Are you saying democrat-leaning doctors intentionally overdosed hundreds of sick people to kill them (with heart failure) so they can discredit Trump and prevent any reduction of the virus death-toll? If true then all democrats need to be put to Gitmo on terrorism charges. Those diagnosed with TDS need to be forced-quarantined, because they kill masses of people. TDS is more deadly than COVID19.

Not good, not good at all.

Then again I'm sure it's just a hoax like everything else happening lately.
