However, it would be good for the FDA to clear the drug specifically for COVID-19 treatment if it deems the clinical trials conclusive to that end.
Speaking about people trying to use existing anti-viral drugs such as hydroxychloroquine to treat COVID-19, Fauci said: "Right now, today, as we speak, there is no proven safe and effective direct therapy for coronavirus disease.
"There are a number of clinical trials that are trying to, by randomized controlled trials, get a definitive answer as to what works and what does not work, what's safe and what's not safe.
"Superimposed upon that, there are drugs that are already approved for other things, like hydroxychloroquine for malaria and certain autoimmune diseases. There have been anecdotal stories, by anecdotal I mean people kind of think they work, but they haven't really proven they work."
He also cautioned people to be "careful" about taking such drugs as it could cut the supply for people who have the diseases they're used for, and said "there may be some toxicity."
Big-time bureaucrat said this
Yup, read a press release from a lupus group that due to the hoarding it's becoming difficult for people with lupus to get their prescribed drug.
Yep. Insurance companies are cutting lupus patients off from the drug and diverting it to COVID patients. I hope it works but if it doesn't I guess we can just throw it on the pile of colossal ups.
Weird that right wingers are fully mobilized on this tho.
MAGAworld has become inured to a steady stream of nostrums and elixirs hawked by the pundits.
Selling snake oil is a right wing style.
Good lord, just like clockwork the Trump army is out to get Michigan's governor cuz TRUMP!
https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news...perer/2343897/Birx, who declined to be interviewed for this article, told a Christian TV network popular with Trump’s evangelical base that she’s confident that the president is, like her, a student of data.
“He’s been so attentive to the scientific literature and the details and the data,” Birx told CBN. “I think his ability to analyze and integrate data that comes out of his long history in business has really been a real benefit during these discussions about medical issues because in the end, data is data.”
Guy barely has 5th grade level reading skills and yet he’s an expert on scientific data. Must be nice
... because they, and everybody, esp Trash, know the covid-19 crisis and the cratered economy have cratered Trash's reelection.
They think hydroxychloroquine will reelect Trash and continue the destruction of America which they want degraded into a one-party-forever Christian/oligarchy authoritarian hole
He has a child’s mind. Best way to get him to do what you want or needs to be done is let him think it’s his idea and take credit for it.
CNN - 70 million people in the US are under a severe weather threat that includes tornadoes and hail.
Ok so now it’s shelter in place .... and oh by the way underground.
I’m not a religious person but I’ve got to think there's a god and he's punishing us for Trump
Rhode Island enforcing a quarantine on NYers with home checks and traffic stops.
https://www.bloomberg.com/amp/news/a...seeking-refuge
my poor friends are already running out of food s
hopefully the checks arrive in their homes soon or them s are gonna say it and take to the streets
this is going to happen sooner in other countries as they have stricter quarantines and zero checks
now think about this, you are to stay home but have no $ for food to feed your kids. what do you do?
police are arresting ppl who wander out in other countries but what if thousands come out en masse?
here is a little sample in Chile
they have nothing to eat. why should they stay home??
Sec. Azar with a sneak peek at the CDC's new propagandistic tack: back to work, plebes!
terrible strategy unless you are going to take suspected cases and force quarantine them in supervised quarantine locations
- people who need money will keep working despite mild symptoms and infect everyone at work
- if people stay home they will infect entire household
losing strategy from the Orangegutan
oh also EVERYONE SHOULD WEAR A MASK OUTSIDE
thats key
unless government and jobs can provide everyone with masks (even surgical masks are ok) and make it a requiement, we are toast
I will call this one more time:
the moment everyonerealizes we HAVE TO WEAR MASKS OUTSIDE life will be able to go as back to normal as possible
I suspect deep state does want to go masks for everyone as it would derail their facial recognition /control plans
Health officials rebelling against Trump for pulling them off COVID-19 research to go on ‘wild goose chases’
Donald Trump is angering officials in Health and Human Services department for
pulling them off important research aimed at developing a vaccine for COVID-19
to study anti-malaria drugs
he believes may end the pandemic.
. “The White House directed health officials to set up a project to track if the antimalarial drugs chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine show promise —
a dayslong effort that distracted from urgent tasks like trials of other medicines thought to have more potential against the virus.”
“The White House is also pressuring Medicare officials to pay for unproven treatments being given to desperate patients during a pandemic,”
“We have no idea if this works, and the evidence suggests it doesn’t.”
a White House request to see “how to reimburse doctors for prescribing chloroquine to patients searching for a coronavirus treatment,” criticizing the plan by stating,
“They’re basically creating a perverse incentive for physicians to use an unapproved therapy.”

All y'all's ignorant, stupid, simplistic mother er thinks he's found the single silver bullet for reelection.
If you don't have a mask, Tennessee suggests you wear a diaper instead
Two headlines, 13 days apart:
NYC probably doing the chloraquin study to appease the orange idiot just to curry favor and get aide. This dip is Nero playing the fiddle while the country burns.
