Are they still using this drug on COVId patients?
Is the drug company helping to push this drug for unproven purposes?
trump is a fraudster and a con man. He literally does not care if what he says is true. He’ll say it, then say the opposite, then deny he every said anything, then accuse Hilary of saying it. Wash, rinse, repeat until something catches on in Magaland.

"do no harm"
Well, we have known for decades the GOP doesn't care about our veterans or really the troops in general, just pawns on a chessboard, but this is an abomination.
How can military families support this party?

A panel of experts convened by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases recommends against doctors using a combination of hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin for the treatment of COVID-19 patients because of potential toxicities.
"The combination of hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin was associated with QTc prolongation in patients with COVID-19," the panel said.
QTc prolongation increases the risk of sudden cardiac death.
The recommendation against their combined use would seem to fly in the face of comments made by President Trump suggesting the combination might be helpful. On March 21, for example, the president described them in a tweet as having a "real chance to be one of the biggest game changers in the history of medicine."

Only anecdotal, but my SIL has had no trouble getting it.
As for the study, go find the abstract and read it. It was only tried in the very, very sick and almost all had serious comorbidity. Go read the discussion. Yes, the results were not promising with these people--many of whom had pulmonary disease and/or diabetes. Most were African American where this disease has been most deadly.
The studies in France said it is best used early.
Sadly, we don’t have enough testing here to catch cases early. One of the pitfalls of not prioritizing testing.

There are plenty of people who know they have it before they are hospitalized.
