He had no information on it. Why would he speak in favor or against a drug?
Why would the Nevada governor forbid doctors to prescribe this to Wuhan virus patients? You know, aside from the fact that he's a Democrat?
Trump isn't a doctor, but he is visibly trying to do the right thing and talking person-to-person with the public on a human level. The so-called doctors in charge are bizarre political creatures with murky agendas.
Or maybe it was created by, say, Russia, just to get the US and China to go at each other.
He then also shouldn't talk economics. Or legislation. Taxes
It was a really good interview. Basically, you can tell, he's actively doing great research. Most doctors aren't willing to do that and they just want to be told what to do from a manual or from above.
Bill Gates and the media want to cash out on a vaccine and make trillions.
Bill Gates wants to drag this out until next year.
Days after beginning a large scale double blinded trial, the so called gold standard, France has now reached the conclusion chloroquine is recommended to treat corona.
Speaking at a news conference, Jérôme Salomon (pictured), France’s director general of health, said the officially sanctioned prescriptions of chloroquine to treat corona “allows a temporary authorization to allow certain patients with coronavirus to benefit from this therapeutic route.”
Doctors in France now will finally be able to treat patients with Didier Raoult, a renown doctor that specializes in infectious diseases, announcing new clinical results that show out of 80 patients treated with chloroquine, 78 recovered within 5 days.
That’s considerably more than the usual 14 days and for some it can go up to 28 days if they recover at all. ...
In UK the government has prohibited its use outside of trial, but that position is probably untenable now as they have to explain why they are not treating patients as France is doing.
The hope is that once general treatment is given, and preferably early treatment, this situation can be contained as in South Korea or in China or in much of Asia.

Where 2 out of 1000 people might get the Virus, and only two people buy a $20.00 treatment.

The Globalist are going to be livid. Where 2 out of 1000 people might get the Virus, and only two people buy a $20.00 treatment. They were demanding a Vaccine, that would require every man woman and child on Earth have to take their Yearly dose of a COVID19 Vaccine. Anthony Fauci was banking on it. Fuck now he's going to lose his HOUSE!

That's great news.
One issue is there was no double blinded trial data here, and this article is just referencing Didier Raoult's badly fudged study. https://forbetterscience.com/2020/03/26/chloroquine-genius-didier-raoult-to-save-the-world-from-covid-19/?fbclid=IwAR02EUmH1FUjNVZXWrAGB0bfzpCDQ-v0l5Wx7WzywVwCVyUdP1LNhflDlDM
Why are chloroquine studies only popping up from fairly shady sources?
mell saysIf the French and other European countries are using it now I doubt the studies aren't truthful.
The French have approved it for use for certain COVID-19 patients. Is there more information?

Fakemed, a group of scientists against fake news in health, lambasted the 68-year-old professor.
After Raoult released his latest findings on the internet over the weekend, Professor Francois Balloux of University College, London, tried to dampen talk that the drug could be a silver bullet.
"No, (this is) not 'huge' I'm afraid," he said on Twitter.
"This is an observational study (i.e. not controlled) following...
That must be why MDs are stockpiling it for their families here in the US while telling patients it's not effective. From all the material I read so far I'm convinced it's effective enough to make a big difference.
If the French and other European countries are using it now I doubt the studies aren't truthful.

Pretty sure they are corner cutting, but also only prescribing this to at risk patients for whom CV is a very possible death sentence.
I wouldnt expect the proper studies to be completed for months
I'm hopeful this is real because that would save a lot of lives and get us back to normal, but I'm not finding any material that's very convincing that this is a silver bullet yet.
This French guy's study isn't controlled or large enough to really tell much.
Dr. Vladmir Zelenko's data is also pretty weird. It sounds like he did most of his protocol between Tuesday and Thursday last week, and by Monday he was already declaring victory and writing a letter to Trump. Weird A/F.
Why do people think it's a far fetched idea that an anti-viral medication would have a positive effect on faster recovery?
ZURICH (Reuters) - Novartis Chief Executive Vas Narasimhan said his Sandoz generics unit’s malaria, lupus and arthritis drug hydroxychloroquine is the company’s biggest hope against the coronavirus, Swiss newspaper SonntagsZeitung reported on Sunday. ...
“Pre-clinical studies in animals as well as the first data from clinical studies show that hydroxychloroquine kills the coronavirus,” Narasimhan told the newspaper. “We’re working with Swiss hospitals on possible treatment protocols for the clinical use of the drug, but it’s too early to say anything definitively.”
He said the company is currently looking for additional active drug ingredients to make more hydroxychloroquine, should clinical trials be successful.
You guys are paranoiac cultists.
There is a method to test drugs and doctors insist on following the method.
If you don't like modern medicine, visit your witch doctor.
He shouldn't propose unproven drugs. That was a very STUPID thing to do.

In the fight against Covid-19 though we might look forward in doom, one day we will look backward in awe. In an article last week, I discussed a promising drug combination to treat the disease. There is now new data supporting this treatment. Since then, Kansas City area physicians, including Joe Brewer, Dan Hinthorn and me, continue to treat many patients, and some have shown improvement. Major medical centers including the University of Washington and Mass General have added hydroxychloroquine to treatment options. So here’s an update, a response to some questions that have come up, and suggestions based on the latest...
Clinical information has also emerged from Covid treatment. During the initial Chinese outbreak, Wuhan doctors observed that patients with lupus—a disease for which HC is a common treatment—did not seem to develop Covid-19. Of 178 hospital patients who tested positive, none had lupus and none were on HC. None of this Wuhan hospital’s dermatology department’s 80 lupus patients were infected with the novel coronavirus. The Wuhan doctors hypothesized that this may be due to long-term use of HC. They treated 20 Covid-19 patients with HC. Their result: “Clinical symptoms improve significantly in 1 to 2 days. After five days of chest CT examination, 19 cases showed significant absorption improvement.” ...
The World Health Organization lists both HC and AZ as essential medicines, “considered to be the most effective and safe to meet the most important needs in a health system.” These drugs have been in use for many years—HC since 1955 and AZ since 1988. Only the combination is new. For now it isn’t well understood why the mix is so effective.
The clinical information service Lexicomp lists the interaction between HC and AZ as Category B, which means the majority of patients require no special caution. Long-term HC use can have adverse effects. Chronic use can cause eye problems, Heartbeat arrhythmia is occasionally observed. Increased electrocardiogram tracking may be appropriate for patients at risk of the latter effect. Potential mental-health effects should be closely observed.
All drugs have side effects, and HC’s overall record is safe. Yes, this is an “off label” use. But that isn’t unusual, either. One study showed 21% of U.S. prescriptions were for off-label use.
These drugs are still needed to treat malaria, lupus and other diseases, which makes it important not to exhaust supplies treating Covid-19 patients. Yet this is a historic pandemic, and treatment with HC and AZ shows considerable promise. That is reason to increase supplies quickly. ...
For my entire career, I have taken a conservative approach to medicine. I don’t want to give false or premature hope. All of this is subject to further refinement as more information arrives. But likewise I can’t ignore the available evidence. This appears to be the best widely available option for treating Covid-19 and not merely easing the suffering from the disease. It would be irresponsible not to pursue this option aggressively.
A Chinese study involving more than 100 patients of COVID-19 found chloroquine superior to the control group in reducing symptom duration, exacerbation of pneumonia including radiological improvement and promoting virus-negative seroconversion without any severe side effects [18]. This represents the first human trial ever conducted with chloroquine against COVID-19. Although the detailed results of this trial are not yet published and only available in a letter form, interestingly, this early result led China to include chloroquine in the prevention and treatment of COVID-19 pneumonia. Moreover, The National Health Commission of the People's Republic of China recommended inclusion of chloroquine in the next version of the Guidelines for the Prevention, Diagnosis, and Treatment of Pneumonia Caused by COVID-19. In this study, chloroquine was given in dose of 500 mg of chloroquine twice daily in mild to severe COVID-19 pneumonia. ...
Although there are sporadic case reports of chloroquine-induced cardiomyopathy and reversible heart failure in the literature, many studies and large meta-analysis conducted in patients with rheumatoid arthritis pointed to a reduced cardiovascular risk with both these compounds [40]. Nevertheless, since both the drug has potential to prolog QTc, a baseline ECG should be done in patients with established cardiovascular disease.

Quick update-- news that FDA is granting emergency authorization 4 hospitals 2 use #chloroquine & #Hydroxychloroquine w hospitalized patients seems to b signaling at least a slight de-escalation of circumstances, and giving #markets an early bump off lows
sporadic case reports of chloroquine-induced cardiomyopathy
Twitter removed a tweet from Fox New host Laura Ingraham that suggested hospitals using hydroxychloroquine as treatment for the Wuhan coronavirus are showing promising results, despite the FDA’s approval of the drug for emergency use.
“Lenox Hill in New York among many hospitals already using hydroxychloroquine with very promising results. One patient was described as ‘Lazarus’ who was seriously ill from Covid-19, already released,” Ingraham tweeted.
