Malaria drugs touted by Trump can work against coronavirus, top doc tells Laura Ingraham

They are testing to see if it helps treat symptoms not to "prove it a false treatment"..

 

Actually the limited studies in France and here in the US showed it has some promise... Of course more research has to be done..

 

Despite efforts to pin blame for the shortages on Trump alone , however, hydroxychloroquine scarcity was already setting in weeks ago, as doctors began responding on their own to percolating and preliminary research. Some evidence suggests that many doctors are now writing prescriptions prophylactically for patients with no known illness — as well as for themselves and family members — prompting at least one state pharmacy board to call an emergency meeting , scheduled for Sunday morning. The board planned to bar pharmacists from dispensing chloroquine or hydroxychloroquine for anyone other than confirmed Covid-19 patients without approval of the board's director.https://www.mdedge.com/rheumatology...-hydroxychloroquine-hopes-lupus-patients-face

Now look at how the *news* tells it..

They wouldn't need to test unless the testing works both ways.

 

OH JUST STOP, I live in that extended cone and we were under alert at that time.

 

Last news from Marseilles, 701 people were treated against covid 19 last week, only one died. Treatment given at the beginning of the disease. After this crisis there will be a huge scandal in France to explain the resistance to the generalization of this treatment.
A lot of lost time. Ego battles and money stories. the other molecules tested are patented, chloroquine costs 3 or 4 dollars...

 

Excellent news. The fact that these drugs are relatively inexpensive is great too.

 

Yes, 701 people tested positive with PCR test...

 

Michigan Democrat Governor Threatens Licenses of Doctors and Pharmacists Who Prescribe Hydroxychloroquine to Treat Coronavirus…

https://theconservativetreehouse.co...ribe-hydroxychloroquine-to-treat-coronavirus/

Democrats are threatening to end the careers of Physicians who prescribe an effective medication.

 

I am french, Trump or Biden it’s not my problem. But the problem is the same in every country.
It’s like you have a may ouest that works and you’re asked if it’s registered....
You have the same problem with that doctor laughing behind trump.
He thinks he’s smart, wait and see while people die...
Try this protocol, what is the risk ? it is an old treatment well known, not a new treatment...
The problem at first is : you need masks! but we don’t have any so it’s useless...
Then we don’t have any tests : so it’s useless...
We don’t have chloroquine : so...it’s useless...
You can die, you are old, you can die...
Even some young people can die it is a minority...
We have the same « Marquis » but for themself and there family...they use this protocol...
Raoult is for equality, his institute is a warship in France, he is a real French man, he put his balls on the table !
Respect for him.
I am very angry against my own country, try to do better in yours...

 

Idiot.

 

Just like the Nevada governor.

 

Aren't they from the same party?

 

Sounds good.

Go Gretchen.

 

Why yes they are.

 

This goes wayyyyy beyond TDS, this is allowing people to die just to spite Trump. Unbelievable. How can he dictate what a doctor does with his or her patient anyway. This governor and the governor of Nevada needs to be removed from office over this.

 

Doctors in NYC are taking this drug as a preventive. Good thing they don't live in NV or MI.

 

When people say the Democrat party is sick-this is case in point.

These top Dems would rather residents of their own states DIE, than expedite life saving medication that Trump supports.

This man nearly died, and recovered after receiving the meds the governor is forbidding...

Michigan Man with Coronavirus Has Near-Death Experience – Is Saved by Hydroxychloroquine Treatment… Then UNLOADS on Liberal Gov. for Denying Life-Saving Drug to the Sick
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/20...-on-liberal-gov-for-denying-life-saving-drug/

 

Its a treatment option that not only saves patients, but also medical providers.

 

So you think it's good that Physicians and Pharmacists lose their livelihoods for wanting to save lives?

Unbelievable. I have absolutely no words to express that wouldn't get me reported .... SMH.

 

As far as I'm concerned Trump can talk all the crap he wants to about this dangerous dingbat.

 

Wow. That sort of RW-Slanted Mischaracterized BS?

Here is what they are talking about:

Pursuant to Michigan Administrative Code, R 338.490(2), a pharmacist shall not fill a prescription if the pharmacist believes the prescription will be used for other than legitimate medical purposes or if the prescription could cause harm to a patient. It is also important to be mindful that licensed health professionals are required to report inappropriate prescribing practices. LARA appreciates all licensed health professionals for their service and cooperation in assuring compliance in acting responsibly while continuing to provide the best possible care for Michigan’s citizens during this unprecedented and very challenging time.

^So, according to Conservative Treehouse (and apparently you agree?) that constitutes:

"Democrats are threatening to end the careers of Physicians who prescribe an effective medication"

^Totally LMAO at CT's Utterly Absurd Mischaracterization (not even worthy of a parody site).



Speaking of Whitmer (and pharmacists), she is doing her BEST to look out for the Citizens of Michigan:

Off label use is not innapropriate.

Top Dems are playing politics with lives.

 

Over 20% of prescribed drugs are for off label uses.

 

So this gov gets to decide what a legitimate use of the drug is? The LW always say we need to listen to the experts, MDs are using it right now to save lives.
