This is from the very left leaning New York Times. It’s the bastardizaroon and politicization of science for the agenda of getting Trump out of office. I’m sure it’s all part of Dr. Desai’s woke agenda gone bad. 1

NYT has a paywall, so I linked Yahoo's copy, but yes this is criminal. "More recently, in February, Desai left his job at a community hospital in a Chicago suburb where he had worked as a surgeon since 2016. He was named as a defendant in three medical malpractice lawsuits last year, court records show." Edited July 28, 2020 by Niagara 1 1

Doc Posted July 28, 2020 Posted July 28, 2020 Yeah but Trump didn't tout them. Once he did, HCQ became the most dangerous drug ever prescribed. 2 1
Koko78 Posted July 28, 2020 Posted July 28, 2020 18 hours ago, Doc said: So they used 2400 mg (toxic dose) of HCQ and (again) no zinc? Great study, Eric. The Lancet and WHO would be proud. Follow the money! Seems even worse than that, if this guy is accurate: 1

dubs Posted July 30, 2020 Posted July 30, 2020 The thing that's the most disturbing to me about this "controversy" isn't necessarily whether or not hydroxychloroquine + zinc is an effective treatment or not, but rather how rabid the media and largely the left (but not all) become at even the mere suggestion of it's effectiveness. That's just an extremely suspicious reaction. A proper, balanced reaction would be something like this: "There has been some interesting anecdotal evidence by a small group of practicing physicians that hydroxychloroquine + zinc may have some therapeutic benefits in treating Covid-19. We would not recommend its use until a larger trial has been done and as always, we do not recommend any treatment without consulting and under the supervision of your physician." Instead, you get total hysteria, censorship, and character assassination. Doesn't that strike people as extremely suspicious? I mean, I am not advocating for HDC + Z or saying it's completely bogus either, just that the reaction against it is so whacked-out that it makes me more suspicious than if no one said anything at all. I will say this though: Imagine what would happen if it was an effective treatment. In an instant the billions and billions set to be made on a vaccine go up in smoke and the control that governors have been exerting over the citizens goes away. Instantly. Boom, gone. 2 1
Tiberius Posted July 30, 2020 Posted July 30, 2020 Washington (CNN)Dr. Anthony Fauci said Wednesday that data shows hydroxychloroquine is not an effective treatment for the coronavirus, disputing use of the drug to fight the deadly virus even as President Donald Trump touts it as a potential cure and says he has taken it himself. "The scientific data is really quite evident now about the lack of efficacy for it," Fauci, a key medical adviser on the White House coronavirus task force, told CNN's Jim Sciutto on "Newsroom" of the drug, adding that there's likelihood of "adverse events with regard to cardiovascular." Fauci, the nation's top infectious disease expert, is the first Trump administration official to say the drug is not effective in treating the virus based on scientific data. Medical experts and the US Food and Drug Administration, though, have questioned its efficacy and warned of potentially harmful side effects as the President has promoted the treatment.

Like I said, I don't know the answer. But I do think it's bizarre that it's being dismissed so aggressively. I did go to the CNN article that you posted (thanks for the link) and then clicked through study that Fauci referenced. The title of the study is now: "RETRACTED: Hydroxychloroquine...." There is also a big red RETRACTED on every page. Not sure if that's bad. https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(20)31180-6/fulltext Edited July 30, 2020 by dubs

That's from May, which as we all know, in pandemic times that is like quoting medical news from 1907. 2

The proper, balanced thing would have been for the president to not to hitch his controversial wagon to any particular drug in the first place because it was nothing but a politically-motivated gamble when he did so. That single action caused all of this controversy. He had no actual scientific reason to do so, only anecdotal evidence that made sense to him. It was totally irresponsible, anti-intellectual and extremely ignorant, which is likely why his base latched onto it like rabid dogs. 3

I mean, that might be how the media portrayed it, but everything I saw him say was simply saying that it showed promise.

But do you have the balls to admit that the cocktail works, if proven effective? Or because Trump hitched his wagon to something, you have to reject it in perpetuity now?
