Malaria drug mentioned by Trump "cured" this guy
- Thread starter Wheelhouse
- Start date
Is "an ounce of prevention is worth more than a pound of cure" "CONSERVATIVE" ?? )
the president went up and made an incorrect statement that flew in the face of
the medical experts
the fact that his supporters are SO FKN STUPID makes it even more dangerous
to allow this orange orangutang to get in front of a hot mic
How does that work? A president expresses optimism over an off-label use of a PRESCRIPTION drug, some idiot takes it WITHOUT A PRESCRIPTION and in a lethal dose, and somehow that's the president's fault? Thanks for demonstrating the level of stupidity which you are bitching about.
.
yea because no one would know about the drug unless his dumb ass was on TV saying it MIGHT work.
There's some people we know in Michigan where the patriarch of the family is a doctor and he prescribes viagra and adderall like candy
Link to news story
Hydroxychloroquine, a medicine for malaria that President Donald Trump has touted as a treatment for coronavirus, was no more effective than conventional care, a small study found.
The report published by the Journal of Zhejiang University in China showed that patients who got the medicine didn’t fight off the new coronavirus more often than those who did not get the medicine.
The study involved just 30 patients. Of the 15 patients given the malaria drug, 13 tested negative for the coronavirus after a week of treatment. Of the 15 patients who didn’t get hydroxychloroquine, 14 tested negative for the virus.
The results of the study weren’t statistically significant.
Yes, some news outlets are referring to the form of chloroquine phosphate sold in pet stores, the form which killed this idiot, as "aquarium cleaner". It's not technically correct. Chloroquine phosphate is the chemical in the prescription drug chloroquine. Chloroquine phosphate is used in fish tanks, not as an "aquarium cleaner", but as a fish disease cure-all.

However, I'm perfectly okay with referring to this crap as "aquarium cleaner" to discourage more uninformed risk takers from taking it and dying.
