Color me confused. How many studies have been halted or have resulted in the conclusion that HCQ not only doesn’t have a benefit but presents significant risk?

“Let’s send it to Brazil!”

quote:
The White House announced Sunday that the U.S. will send 2 million doses of hydroxychloroquine and 1,000 ventilators to Brazil as the South American country confronts the coronavirus pandemic.

The White House said in a joint statement with the Brazilian government that the doses of hydroxychloroquine will be used as preventative treatment for nurses, doctors and health-care professionals. Brazilian civilians who contract the virus will also be permitted to use the drug.

The U.S. and Brazil will also launch a joint research effort, including randomized controlled clinical trials, to test hydroxychloroquine's use as a preventive measure and early treatment of COVID-19.

Seems like a deal between Trump and Bolsonaro that will leave the health authorities scratching their heads.

Eh, wouldn't be the first time Trump manages to sell snake oil to a sucker.

I worry about the people who will get it via prescription (or OTC?).

I wonder when Trump will patent it with something including the Trump name.
(AND take credit for miracle cures. What was it he said some time back about his medical acumen? "Maybe I just have a talent for it.
Why bother with medical school when you're born just knowing it all?)

But the people here who need it for auto-immune diseases are still limited to half doses and disrupted refill procedures? Send it away to where it doesn’t work?

I hadn't thought about that, AM.

Bolsonaro doesn't give a damn about COVID-19. He's in the "it's just the flu" camp.

The only thing I can think of is that Trump is so obsessed with being proven right about his frequent proclamations about the benefits of hydroxychloroquine that he's gone so far as to initiate a sham study so he can say, "See! I told you it was a miracle drug."

smh
