Popular Post spidermike007 37,704 Posted April 7, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 7, 2020 This is good news. Thew FDA is a spectacularly corrupt agency, and their blessing means very little to many of us. The side effects of this are minimal (as long as you do not consider the inane case of the fool who ingested a gallon of aquarium product, who died), there are few alternatives, and there appears to be little downside to trying it. I have purchased a sufficient quantity of both Hydro and Azithromycin for my wife and myself, and will self prescribe it, if the need arises. Beats the hell out of spending a million baht on a week or two in a hospital, where they would do very little for us, except relieve us of our hard earned money. This is not about Trump. I am in no way a supporter of Don Donald, but there have been a number of small studies that have pointed toward the benefits of these drugs. I do not need a major study to concluded something, in order to try something, when there are no alternatives. For me, that is just common sense stuff. 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Popular Post rabas 5,695 Posted April 7, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 7, 2020 BREAKING: Dem. Detroit Rep Says Hydroxychloroquine, Trump Saved Her Life From Coronavirus State Rep. Karen Whitsett, who learned Monday she has tested positive for COVID-19, said she started taking hydroxychloroquine on March 31, prescribed by her doctor, after both she and her husband sought treatment for a range of symptoms on March 18. “It was less than two hours” before she started to feel relief, said Whitsett, who had experienced shortness of breath, swollen lymph nodes, and what felt like a sinus infection. Asked if she thinks Trump may have saved her life, Whitsett said: “Yes, I do,” and “I do thank him for that.” 4 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites

But since Trump listened to experts and thinks the drug may help, the usual suspects jerk their knees and complain. Pretty sad if one really thinks about it. LOL - the 'experts' trump listens to concerning Covid include Giuliani and Kushner. https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2020/04/donald-trump-hydroxychloroquine-push https://www.latimes.com/opinion/story/2020-04-06/rudy-giuliani-covid-19-coronavirus-hydroxychloroquine Actual medical exports claim there is not a clinically proven case to support the use of hydroxychloroquine, When asked if the drug was promising Friday, Fauci, standing next to Trump, said “the answer is no” because “the evidence you’re talking about … is anecdotal evidence.” “The information that you’re referring to specifically is antecdotal,” he added. “It was not done in a controlled clinical trial. So you really can’t make any definitive statement about it.” 2 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, with long term use. Doctors are prescribing it in greater number. The obvious efficacy is a great thing, unless you are a leftist. 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites

As a result of Trump spouting about the drug, with or without any scientific evidence of its efficacy. There has been a nationwide run on the drug leaving long time users for malaria & Lupus unable to renew their prescriptions. And now, the main supplier (40%) of the drug to the US (India) have banned all exports of the drug. Their crisis is looming & they are conserving resources. So the drug is going to be even more difficult to source. A president's comments carry a lot of weight & influence. The ramifications can be profound and widespread. They should be well considered, not just childish verbal diahorrea for self aggrandizement. and suppose an india company developed an excellent vaccine for covid 19, then trump must shut up and not mention it out of concern indian will ban exporting it? superbly flawed logic 2 Link to post Share on other sites

While this example is only one person, sure would be a drag if that person was you. that was not a prescribed drug, it was his fish tank cleaner, what sort of idiot takes his fishes/animals treatments, it was not even the right one, but typical idiot trying to put the stupidity of people onto someone else, pathetic, especially when many doctors are claiming the prescribed drug is helping but dont let the truth get in the way of your bitch about trump Edited April 7, 2020 by seajae 5 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites
