he introduces himself as Dr. Napudi (?)

his black scrubs have a different name

the video title has a third name

the channel is named for a fourth person

that's wild, man!

But the video title says that he's a "real doctor".

So your conspiracy theories are false.

I’ve heard that some C19 patients who might have benefited from chloroquine have refused it because it was endorsed by trump. Can’t blame them really, if you think about it.
That's pathetic. If you are hospitalized and fighting for your life and you reject your Dr's suggested course of action due to politics...

when you die they should probably crack your skull open and study the COVID19 induced brain damage you are obviously suffering from.

We could probably still get the meds to to those folks in their hour of need. All we have to do is rename the drug to something cheesy like they did back in the day with "Freedom Fries". Something like "Soitiva" or "Resista". Add a catchy logo and it's a done deal

I sort of made that up. A friend of a friend of my brother, who had and recovered from c19, stated he passed on it partly due to trump

I'm here for the circle jerk covered in sh!t.



-non-randomized
-no control group
-inclusion of non-symptomatic carriers
-patients who didn't recover dropped out of the study and weren't factored into the results.

This study is problematic at best.

With little evidence to back him, President Donald Trump has championed an anti-malarial drug called hydroxychloroquine as a treatment for COVID-19. His endorsement has led to hoarding and shortages for lupus patients who rely on the medicine.

While it may turn out to be an effective drug—and a number of clinical trials are aiming to find out—the clinical data so far are preliminary and, it turns out, possibly problematic.

According to a statement issued April 3 by the International Society of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy (ISAC), the vanguard study cited by Trump and others in their endorsement of hydroxychloroquine “does not meet the Society’s expected standard, especially relating to the lack of better explanations of the inclusion criteria and the triage of patients to ensure patient safety.”

The ISAC publishes the International Journal of Antimicrobial Agents, where Didier Raoult of Aix-Marseille Université and colleagues reported their findings on a trial of three dozen patients, 20 of whom took hydroxychloroquine (six of these patients also received an antibiotic). The statement from ISAC notes that the journal’s editor in chief is in agreement with the society’s concern, although the society defends the peer review process that the paper went through. “Although ISAC recognises it is important to help the scientific community by publishing new data fast, this cannot be at the cost of reducing scientific scrutiny and best practices,” the statement adds.


Elisabeth Bik, a microbiologist who works to improve the quality of the scientific literature, noted in a blog post a number of issues with the study after it first appeared as a preprint, including confounders, a lack of randomization, and reported data that did not match the plan outlined in a clinical trial registry.

Another preprint by Raoult’s group of 80 COVID-19 patients who received hydroxychloroquine and the antibiotic azithromycin similarly received criticism for a lack of control group, the inclusion of asymptomatic carriers, and questionable results. For instance, Derek Lowe points out in his blog that 10 patients went from a positive to negative nasal swab test between the first and second day of treatment. “That seems hard to believe, unless they were already close to the cutoff, but here’s a big problem with the preprint: we do not have individual patient data,” he writes.

Well this is interesting:
The site no longer says that "some U.S. clinicians have reported anecdotally different hydroxychloroquine dosing" and both hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine are "reportedly well-tolerated in COVID-19 patients." It also no longer says that both drugs "are currently recommended for treatment of hospitalized COVID-19 patients in several countries."

Instead, the first line of the page now reads: "There are no drugs or other therapeutics approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to prevent or treat COVID-19." The page adds that "hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine are under investigation in clinical trials."

"The study was a complete failure"

Tracey and Caplan pointed out that several patients who took the drug, and ended up faring poorly, dropped out of the trial, and their outcomes were not factored into the study's final conclusions.

Trump really needs this drug to work. His “very unfavorable” is actually higher than his “favorable” number right now with Monmouth... which is the only pollster that has him within 5 points of Biden. So, things look really bleak for trump by the numbers... and his best argument, the economy, has been eviscerated and won’t recover nearly enough by November. Especially as Covid wave 2 ramps up around then

“The things they had in there were crazy," Trump said of the voter protection and expansion proposals in the bill. "They had things—levels of voting that, if you ever agreed to it, you'd never have a Republican elected in this country again."

Republicans don't want people voting.
