[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I read somewhere that they think they will know about this drug in a month or so. They’ll have a better handle on it’s efficacy, and hopefully understand how it needs to be administered. [/quote]

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.[/quote]

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

Good to know
