This appeared on both MSN News feed and Fox, then I googled it and got a bunch of hits. I picked a San Diego newspaper' article to hopefully avoid political reaction.

That would be great!

Very interesting.
I hope this all works well as a preventative therapy it looks like for fighting the v***s.
Really amazing research and can be effectively used as a stop gap.

What is wrong with Hydroxychloroquine. France and the rest of Europe are very successfully using this in the treatment of the v***s. Why is the USA not using this?

Because they have lost too many patients and "saw no benefit" {see end of report}.

Some in the US are. But pretty much only Fox interviews or reports on them.
The others slam it because President Trump was mentioning it. Some in the media, and others - including "scientists" and "medical people" who don't like President Trump seem incapable of giving him credit for anything good.

Some of them are so bad about it that if President Trump said "poverty is bad for people" they would start gathering arguments to show that poverty is a wonderful and good experience. But not for them, for other people.

That VA "study" they only gave it to very advanced cases who were already on death's door.

The places using it successfully are starting it early to prevent reaching the serious stage.

Hydroxychloroquine is a prescription drug. It has side effects. You don't want to take it without the advice of a physician. And due to the side effects, it will not be an appropriate treatment for some people. But it is my understanding that it is being used in some places, where appropriate.

On the Radio, Tennessee Star Report I believe.Listen all day so do not note.
You can EASILY find it out away from f**e news.

The NIH is doing a clinical study using hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin in mild to moderate c***d patients. Not in advanced cases who were already on death's door.

It involves 2,000 cases, controlled, randomized, short-term, placebo-controlled, double-blind, clinical trial. It's a 20-day trial with follow up 3 months and 6 months after treatment starts.

The main objective of the study is to determine whether hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin can prevent hospitalization and death due to C****-**. Additionally, investigators will evaluate the safety and tolerability of the experimental treatment for people with c***d.

While hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin are both considered safe in most people, they can cause side effects ranging from headache and nausea to, rarely, heart rhythm problems that can be life-threatening (prolonged QTc to torsades de pointes.). (Note: Prolonged QTc is a heart rhythm irregularity that may be a harbinger to a potentially deadly heart arrhythmia called, torsades.)

Because of the risk of heart problems when hydroxychloroquine is used alone or combined with azithromycin, FDA cautions that use of hydroxychloroquine for C****-** should be limited to clinical trials or for treating certain hospitalized patients under EUA (E*******y Use A***********n) so clinicians can monitor patients for adverse effects.

This stuff has been around for decades.
Why are democrats so h**eful against life saving treatments?
I know, Trump mentioned it.

The only large group with a control found it was worse than nothing.

Have they done scientific studies?
