Why is DJT so obsessed with pushing hydroxychloroquine?

[Anonymous]

What are the latest MAGA talking points? Seems like hydroxychloroquine isn't the burning issue any more. It's hard to keep up.

Wall!
Chicago!
MS-13!
China!

This isn’t a new drug. It’s been on the market in one form or another for nearly as long as most people posting in this thread have been alive. “They” already understand everything about it with regards to dosage, administration, etc.

To make a hypothetical example here, this situation is akin to someone discovering a new use for aspirin, where results in many cases suggested it was effective. Well, we already understand aspirin pretty thoroughly, so if people want to take it, and it seems to be working, then there really isn’t a need for a traditional study to seek approval first for off label use. It’s aspirin. It’s already out there. We can study it later, but if most people are having positive treatment outcomes by using it, there’s really no need to wait on a formalized study.

This entire controversy around the quinine family of medications is simple politics , nothing more.


I often wonder what would’ve happened if Trump had suggested medical marijuana was worth trying. Because lots of the same people who hate him and are trashing him over hydroxychloroquine now are also big advocates of marijuana curing almost everything that afflicts you. So it would be entertaining to see these folks put into a ethical conundrum over that. Would they agree with Trump and hate themselves for that? Or would they disagree out of reflex-response, and trash their own favorite “medication”? It would be funny to watch.

It’s funny you use aspirin as an example, because guess what happened when doctors started recommending aspirin to prevent heart attacks? It turned out to do more harm than good to people without certain risks. No matter how much you think you can common-sense your way through scientific research, you just can’t.

So no one could take aspirin any time they wanted prior to it being used as a blood thinner.

Good to know

Huh? The point is aspirin turned out to be NOT SAFE AND EFFECTIVE to be taken for the new use. "They" do not know if a drug is safe and effective for specific uses until after the research trials. https://www.aafp.org/afp/2019/0601/p670.html

“They gave me chloroquine,” she told American TV channel CBS. “I know people have been talking about this drug. But I can only tell you that – I don’t know if the drug worked or if it was just time for the fever to break.
“My fever did break but the chloroquine had such extreme side effects, I was completely nauseous, I had vertigo and my muscles felt very weak … I think people have to be very considerate about that drug.”

Because it would be an easy answer.

MAGAts have grown awfully silent about HCQ.

well not useless ... it’s possible it will be part of a drug cocktail that helps prevent or lessen the severity of the worst cases. but not a miracle.

She was given chloroquine, not hydroxychloroquine. And, she llved to tell about it.

Chloroquine (CQ) was first used as prophylaxis and treatment for malaria. Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) is a more soluble and less toxic metabolite of chloroquine, which causes less side effects and is, therefore, safer (1-3).

Dumb, hateful lemmings.

Nah. We know word has gotten out. It was discussed extensively yesterday when Covid-19 survivors met with the president.
And, there are several studies being done.
