Why is DJT so obsessed with pushing hydroxychloroquine?

[Anonymous]

^^ I have no doubt that we will discover his reassignment was justified and based on his performance.

Anything is not proven until it's proven, right?

Here is the EVMS CRITICAL CARECOVID-19 MANAGEMENT PROTOCOL by Doctor Paul Marik of the Eastern Virginia Medical School. It's constantly updated, almost daily. Do you see hydroxychloroquine in there?

But what does a real estate sales man know about drugs? It is shady as hell that he is pushing for something he knows nothing about,.

He has heard from many survivors who credit it with saving their lives. And, it has been used for decades safely. And, it is cheap. And, we are looking for anything that can be used to help people recover from this disease.
It is ONE of the remedies he has discussed.

How do survivors know it saved their lives?

LOL one survivor's anecdote does not equate to data. How do we know it wasn't a blood transfusion that saved that survivor? Antibiotics to fight back pneumonia? Or one of the many treatments being conducted on every hospitalized COVID patient to stabilize them?

God, real estate people are dumb as bricks.

Leaving aside the fact that anecdotes != data, medical decisions should be made by physicians. It's at best, misguided, to provide information on medical treatments, especially when they have not been vetted, and doubly so when one has no background to provide such information.

OMG!
Trump was not prescribing it. He was not even recommending it. He said it may be something that can be used. Along with Remdesivir.
And, he also said that any treatment should be decided in consultation with a physician.

I swear, if Trump had said that hydroxychloroquine shows no evidence of helping you all would scream, "YES IT DOES! What are you talking about??!!"

HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE & AZITHROMYCIN, taken together, have a real chance to be one of the biggest game changers in the history of medicine.

He implied that it was a breakthrough treatment.

Lots of physicians are already taking hydroxycloroquin it as a prophylaxis. The story pushed by the media is that it was a failure, but there has only been limited testing, which has been inconclusive.

Of course there is no definitive proof that it works. That’s not surprising for a disease that has only been around for a few weeks. Rigorously controlled peer reviewed studies with large sample sizes take a while and are difficult to coordinate in emergency situations. That doesn’t mean that doctors and researchers can’t make educated guesses based on their years of training and experience.

Laura Ingraham still isn't done with this, apparently.
https://www.salon.com/2020/05/08/hydroxychloroquine-truther-laura-ingraham-who-is-not-a-doctor-begs-trump-to-overturn-fdas-warning/

Fox News host Laura Ingraham, who has publicly acknowledged her lack of medical expertise, made a personal appeal to President Donald Trump on her broadcast to "pull back" a "misguided" FDA warning about an unproven drug treatment for the new coronavirus.

"We now have multiple studies across the globe and reports from treating physicians regarding the safety and efficacy of hydroxychloroquine," Ingraham during a Wednesday segment. "Along with hundreds of thousands of lupus and rheumatoid arthritis patients who've been taking the drug for decades without complications. Time for the FDA — the president himself — to pull back on the misguided and unnecessary warning that was issued a few weeks ago."

What aggravated people was doctors were being barred from using it as a treatment by some state politicians. Bureaucrats were inserting themselves where they don't belong.

Note, it WAS banned, not IS banned. So don't think the "fact checkers" can worm their way out of it.

They were banning it to prevent the shortages for the people that currently need it to survive. It is a treatment for lupus. That sounds like good governance to me, not "bureaucrats were inserting themselves where they don't belong."

No, this was Facebook disinformation.
