Popular Post webfact Posted May 18, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 18, 2020 Trump says he is taking hydroxychloroquine as hedge against virus By Jeff Mason and Steve Holland U.S. President Donald Trump talks about taking daily doses of hydroxychloroquine pills as he addresses a coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic meeting with restaurant executives and industry leaders beneath a portrait of President Abraham Lincoln in the State Dining Room at the White House in Washington, U.S., May 18, 2020. REUTERS/Leah Millis WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Monday he is taking hydroxychloroquine, a malaria drug that he has touted despite medical warnings about its use, as a preventive medicine against the coronavirus. "I've been taking it for the last week and a half. A pill every day," Trump told reporters. Trump made the disclosure during a question-and-answer session with reporters during a meeting with restaurant executives about the impact of the virus. Weeks ago Trump had promoted the drug as a potential treatment for the virus but subsequent studies found that it was not helpful. Trump, 73, who is tested daily for the virus, said he had asked the White House physician if it was OK to take the drug, and the doctor told him, "well, if you'd like it." The disclosure came as Moderna Inc <MRNA.O> reported progress in a potential vaccine for the virus. The only drug that has emerged as a potential treatment is Gilead Sciences Inc's <GILD.O> remdesivir, a drug reserved for hospital patients. Fox News Channel, immediately after Trump's remarks, interviewed Dr. Bob Lahita, who cautioned people not to take hydroxychloroquine. "There's no effect that we have seen and we have treated multiple patients with it," he said.

"I'm taking hydroxychloroquine," Trump told reporters. "I've been taking it for the last week and a half. A pill every day." Trump volunteered the disclosure during a question-and-answer session with reporters as he met restaurant executives whose businesses are reeling from the impact of the virus. Weeks ago Trump had promoted the drug as a potential treatment based on a positive report about its use against the virus, but subsequent studies found that it was not helpful. The Food and Drug Administration has issued a warning about its use. In an April 24 statement, the FDA said it is “aware of reports of serious heart rhythm problems” in patients with COVID-19 treated with hydroxychloroquine or an older drug, chloroquine. Trump, 73, who is tested daily for the virus, said he had asked the White House physician if it was OK to take the drug, and the doctor told him, "well, if you'd like it." The president, a well-known germaphobe, has nonetheless refused to wear a protective mask in the West Wing. The disclosure came as Moderna Inc <MRNA.O> reported progress in a potential vaccine for the virus. The only drug that has emerged so far as a potential treatment is Gilead Sciences Inc's <GILD.O> remdesivir. Fox News Channel, immediately after Trump's remarks, interviewed Dr. Bob Lahita, chairman of medicine at St. Joseph University Hospital, who cautioned people not to take hydroxychloroquine. "There's no effect that we have seen and we have treated multiple patients with it," he said. Trump said he also took a single dose of azithromycin, an antibiotic which is meant prevent infection. In conjunction with hydroxychloroquine, Trump said he was taking zinc. “All I can tell you is so far I seem to be OK,” Trump said.

Popular Post lannarebirth Posted May 18, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 18, 2020 From what I have read, hydroxychloroquine has proved very efficacious as a prophylaxis measure. Has had some success in low to moderate severity CV 19 cases if taken with Zinc and Azithromycin and has had very poor results in cases of moderate severity and above. I think most of the testing has been on moderate and more severe cases. 5 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Walker88 Posted May 18, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 18, 2020 This is more likely: 1) 45 is lying, is not taking it, but feels humiliated because he made a fool of himself and is covering for his painfully fragile ego, plus he couldn't care less if his goobers take it and they die 2) His doctor is just giving 45 sugar pills, but 45 doesn't know it Of course, given his obesity and terrible cholesterol profile, he is a prime candidate for suffering the worst consequences of hydroxychloroquine, and Pence and other Administration folks see no real harm or loss in that possibility 22 5 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post GalaxyMan Posted May 19, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 19, 2020 (edited) I don't believe him until the doctor who is prescribing and administering the drug publicly declares that it is so, and even then I'd not be sure. The man is nothing but a pathological liar without shame. I'd check the sky before I'd believe him if he said the sun was shining. ????

Popular Post TopDeadSenter Posted May 19, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 19, 2020 Does anybody get the feeling Trump says these sort of things just to wind up the left? He has done this consistently since winning in 2016. It is a tactic long known by pro poker players, to get your opponent on tilt and watch them melt down and lose everything. Trump has done it so well, that we are the eve of an election and the democrats haven't even calmed down enough to find a real candidate to run against Trump. 4 years of extreme tilt.

Popular Post Bert got kinky Posted May 19, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 19, 2020 I have recently started taking a new medicine called ‘Snake Oil’. Seems to be working quite well at thee moment, as I am currently exhibiting no signs of the Covid19 virus. It is also good for all other viruses/illnesses/injuries but apparently not too good for the snakes, as they have to be boiled to extract this magical oil. 3 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
