The American Medical Association is very quietly trying to change its position over the use of hydroxychloroquine to treat coronavirus patients.
In March the American Medical Association came out against the use of hydroxychloroquine after President Trump touted its use to treat the Wuhan virus. The media, Dr. Fauci, and liberal medical journals went nuts and did everything to dissuade Americans from seeking treatment.
“We caution hospitals, health systems, other entities, and individual practitioners that no medication has been FDA-approved for use in COVID-19 patients,” the AMA’s March statement reads in regards to HCQ and similar unconventional treatments. “Definitive evidence for the role of these drugs in treating COVID-19 patients has not been determined through robust clinical trials; decisions to use these medications off-label must be made with extreme caution and careful monitoring. Physicians, pharmacists, patients and policymakers must understand that these medications have dangerous side effects that may lead to patient harm, including fatal cardiac arrhythmias.”
BJ's I told ya so.
RESOLVED, That our American Medical Association rescind its statement calling for physicians to stop prescribing hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine until sufficient evidence becomes available to conclusively illustrate that the harm associated with use outweighs benefit early in the disease course,” the memo reads.
