Hydroxychloroquine (Plaquenil) Thread

[AzogtheDefiler]

So added to the list of other doctors around the world who are vouching for this treatment, now we have the CEO of a major pharmaceutical company.

Novartis CEO: Malaria drug is biggest hope against coronavirus - SonntagsZeitung — Reuters

Novartis Chief Executive Vas Narasimhan said his Sandoz generics unit's malaria, lupus and arthritis drug hydroxychloroquine is the company's biggest hope against the coronavirus, Swiss newspaper SonntagsZeitung reported on Sunday.

He is the CEO of a company that makes it. What did you expect the CEO to say?

Amazing how you simply ignored the first part of the post.

Oh, I read it. I just went back and read it again. I just hope there is more to go on by the time I might have to depend on it than Doctors and CEO's who stand to make a profit from it. I do not have Covid-19. I will wait for something more tangible and reliable than Drug manufacturers endorsements of their own product as the most promising that the company makes to treat this new disease, unless my doctor is the one prescribing it. I do not ever trust drug manufacturers to look out for the public good over their own profits. Did you ever hear of the Oxycontin law suits, where a drug company went out of way to addict people to their product, just for the sake of profits. Heck, Rush Limbaugh learned the hard way, so bad he was shopping doctors in multiple states to feed his habit and the manufacturer was smiling all the way to the bank.

Doctors want patients to get better so they can go back to being general doctors and not curing a pandemic. Your statement is illogical.

My statement were completely logical. You are a victim of drug company commercials one day and law firm commercials the next. I place more confidence in my doctors, than your drug companies, that's all.

How does it not benefit the doctors not to find a cure? The drug is already out treating lupus patients?

Nobody said it benefited doctors not to find a cure. what are you babbling about, Zog?

I am saying enough politicking. If this works we should use it, regardless who it benefits because it mostly benefits the patients.

For a word with only 2 letters, "if" is a mighty big word. I hope it works, just not putting undue confidence. Bought that stock yet, or did you already own some?

Neither. My parents are older so I would like a cure and a vaccine. Not worried about profits. So far the info. says it does. Need more tests but there is hope.

Understand and agree. More power to ya, man. Wish mine were still around. All the best to you and yours.

Thank you

Should we just skip the clinical trials, then? Some doctors are trying it anyway, aren't they, if there is nothing else working?

I think we have our first openly admitted trial going on in Manitoba (I think that was the premier anyways), apparently starting with a few patients next week.

I've also been told on another site that it is basically being used in Ontario in extreme cases, but rather quietly. I don't know if this is true or not, but clearly when someone has no other hope, it's worth trying.

Thanks to Trump, we now have rules that allow sick people to try cures like this.....before Trump it wasn't allowed....

Not just that, FDA and CDC were preventing private and academic development of diagnostic tests while pushing defective government tests. They also stopped Seattle’s Dr. Helen Chu from testing for coronavirus because her lab "was not certified as clinical lab" under regulations established by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.


Trump had removed those obstacles and allowed production.

CDC has been against Trump the entire time and still is.

That's a good point 2A, he did. And a very good move.

Huge! Second French Study By Dr. Raoult Finds Hydroxychloroquine And Azithromycin Helped Every Patient In Study Group Of 80 Minus One (Video)

(Gateway Pundit) – On Friday night Laura Ingraham reported on the latest study by the French research team led by the renowned epidemiologist Dr. Didier Raoult was able to repeat his findings from a previous study.
This time Dr. Raoult administered hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin to 80 patients and observed improvement in EVERY CASE except for a very sick 86-year-old with an advanced form of coronavirus infection.

This is very promising news once again from Dr. Didier Raoult.

This is wonderful news.
Unfortunately, this doctor’s work helps the the global community and Trump so the the liberal media has either igored, attacked or mocked his research.

What awful people.
Dr. Raoult tweeted his results. Translated: Our two articles published tonight help to demonstrate:1. The effectiveness of our protocol, on 80 patients.2. The relevance of the combination of hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin, thanks to research carried out in our P3 containment laboratory.

For the naysayers, it has been tested, on it's second run. For the dumasses try chloroquinephosphate (aqyarium cleaner) instead, been tested also by 2 lib idiots.

Wow.

Socialist France.

Wow.

Socialist France.

Actually, outside of America, France has historically been the most staunch defender of civil liberty and individualism. It's only been the excessive stress of the public sector (not unlike Canada) which has hurt them and basically forced their hand on protecting benefits and pensions. This, has made them quite a centrally controlled system.

Governor of Michigan is warning / threatening doctors against its use, despite drug combo is giving some results.

As she should. As it turns out, causing shortages of this drug for people who need it for conditions for which it has demonstrated efficacy is not a good idea right now.

Make more. Take care of everyone.

There's lots of misinformation here in this thread. There are six different drugs being tested.

this is very bad news for the Democrats who want more people to die

They are making more. But that takes time. Also, it would not be smart to devote resources that could be used elswhere to a possibly ineffective treatment.

 

[Ray From Cleveland]

Finally, FINALLY, the FDA approved an emergency use for these treatments. Besides allowing the sterilization of medical masks yesterday due to the shortage, it took them this long to recommend hydroxychloroquine in spite of the reports of success for several weeks where the drug was used.

While we bicker about how good or bad of a job Trump did during this crisis, the left refuses to believe their beloved bureaucracies had anything to do with it. Blame Trump, all the time. Now perhaps these medications can save many more lives. When they do, look for the left to blame Trump about how long it took him to make these drugs available for general use.

FDA issues emergency authorization of 2 anti-malaria drugs for coronavirus treatment

The drugs — which are used to treat malaria and other conditions — have been called game changers by President Donald Trump.

Board Dimsocialists have been saying it would be several months before this would happen.

Nice job, President Trump!

The sterilization of medical masks is horseshit. We should not change the rules based on shortages...this is putting people's lives in danger.

A month ago a nurse could have been written up or fired for reusing a mask...and now it is all hunky dory!

Give the Democrats credit. They know their bureaucracies. It's likely it would have taken several months if not for the quick spreading of this virus. Look how long it took them to get those test kits out, and then they didn't even work. The FDA only allowed one type of test kit to get their approval, costing God knows how many lives.

 

[Ray From Cleveland]

Liberals very unhappy about this solution

You would think they would be happy since many of the areas where this is a major problem are Democrat meccas. NYC has 40% of the COVID-19 cases in the US, and how do they vote?
