Approximately half of the studies, both clinical and observational, that have been done so far on HCQ have indicated that it is effective in treating COVID, and saves lives. Another half have indicated that HCQ is ineffective.

Nearly all studies have indicated that HCQ is safe, with no dangerous side effects.

Why do liberals believe half of the studies, and question the other half?
 
HCQ has serious side effects, so if It is not effective in treating Covid 19, doctors would be placing patients at risk with no benefit. Should the side effects lead to health issues for the patient, the doctor would face malpractice lawsuits

This liberal believes so frickin' what!? If it works it works if not then go to next step, why does the Trumpet's feel the need to promote this drug over another?

HCQ is safe with no dangerous side effects?

A summary of the FDA review of safety issues with the use of hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine to treat hospitalized patients with COVID-19 is now available. This includes reports of serious heart rhythm problems and other safety issues, including blood and lymph system disorders, kidney injuries, and liver problems and failure
Click to expand...
Based on ongoing analysis and emerging scientific data, FDA has revoked the emergency use authorization (EUA) to use hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine to treat COVID-19 in certain hospitalized patients when a clinical trial is unavailable or participation is not feasible. We made this determination based on recent results from a large, randomized clinical trial in hospitalized patients that found these medicines showed no benefit for decreasing the likelihood of death or speeding recovery. This outcome was consistent with other new data, including those showing the suggested dosing for these medicines are unlikely to kill or inhibit the virus that causes COVID-19. As a result, we determined that the legal criteria for the EUA are no longer met. Please refer to the Revocation of the EUA Letter and FAQs on the Revocation of the EUA for Hydroxychloroquine Sulfate and Chloroquine Phosphate for more information.

Because what you just posted is untrue.

Three big studies dim hopes that hydroxychloroquine can treat or prevent COVID-19 | Science | AAAS

Through the fog of alleged misconduct, hope, hype, and politicization that surrounds hydroxychloroquine, the malaria drug touted as a COVID-19 treatment, a scientific picture is now emerging.

So when you say half are you claiming that there as many studies saying it works as say it doesn't? Can you back that up with data?

I don't want to get too involved here, but there have been thousands of patients studied in the past 2 months, hardly one, if not any, example of any patient who suffered serious side effects.

The FDA followed Fauci's advice.

And about half of the folks in america voted for trump in 2016. So basically half of the studies are incorrect it does not help covid patients and about half of american voters are crazy.

Exactly the same reason "conservatives" do it, just with the sets of studies reversed.

Trump promoted Hydroxychloroquine in a press conference (with zero evidential basis or knowledge on his part at that time). When he was challenged on that, some Trump supporters blindly pushed anything which made (or could be spun to make) the drug look good and some Trump opponents blindly pushed anything which made (or could be spun to make) the drug look bad.

They're all as bad as each other and anyone who only highlights the guilt on one "side" is part of the problem.

When making such broad statements a few references would be nice... :roll:

One can find a 'study' here or there support HCQ, but most studies show it doesn't help, and HAS caused cardiac arrest...

Please link where some one with a highly regarded specialty treating virus patients says HCQ is safe. I'd say most specialists say HCQ has little if any benefit and has a history of heart problems... :peace

These are three studies and two anecdotal accounts of how HCQ saves lives, I will post more...

Duh, he has millions of doses, and wants to use that dough for the wall.

Like I said, by all means believe whatever you want but to act like liberals are the one's that are disregarding reality based on political affiliation is just incorrect.

Half? No way anyone should take a drug that only half the studies say it works when some of them say it also has serious side effects.


Holy cow that is bad medicine

This expert has done ZERO testing himself, references a SINGLE study, and ignores the past history of heart issues when used as labeled... :doh

I posted 3 studies in Post 16, and a couple anecdotal accounts.

I will post more. They are harder to find, because liberal media outlets hit the same 2 or 3 studies over and over and the other ones get buried in search engines.
