MSNBC saying it's more dangerous to take it right now

Antimalarial drug touted by Trump is linked to increased risk of death in coronavirus patients, study says
https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2020/05/22/hydroxychloroquine-coronavirus-study/
You won't hear this on TV...important takeaway
quote:
The new study’s findings cannot necessarily be extrapolated to people with mild illness at home or those, like Trump, who are taking the antimalarials as a prophylactic.
quote:
A large study of health-care workers that examines the use of hydroxychloroquine as a preventive measure against covid-19 is in the works, but no results have been released.
quote:
Earlier this month, some proponents of hydroxychloroquine seized on a study out of New York University’s Langone Health center that threw zinc into the mix with hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin, and showed the treated group had a higher rate of survival. But researchers emphasized that it only showed that the combination had some promise

An analysis of 96,000 patients shows those treated with hydroxychloroquine were also more likely to suffer irregular heart rhythms
A study of 96,000 hospitalized coronavirus patients on six continents found that those who received an antimalarial drug promoted by President Trump as a “game changer” in the fight against the virus had a significantly higher risk of death compared with those who did not.
People treated with hydroxychloroquine, or the closely related drug chloroquine, were also more likely to develop a type of irregular heart rhythm, or arrhythmia, that can lead to sudden cardiac death, it concluded.
The study, published Friday in the medical journal the Lancet, is the largest analysis to date of the risks and benefits of treating covid-19 patients with antimalarial drugs. It is based on a retrospective analysis of medical records, not a controlled study in which patients are divided randomly into treatment groups — a method considered the gold standard of medicine. But the sheer size of the study was convincing to some scientists.
“It’s one thing not to have benefit, but this shows distinct harm,” said Eric Topol, a cardiologist and director of the Scripps Research Translational Institute. “If there was ever was hope for this drug, this is the death of it.”
David Maron, director of preventive cardiology at the Stanford University School of Medicine, said that “these findings provide absolutely no reason for optimism that these drugs might be useful in the prevention or treatment of covid-19.”
Past studies also found scant or no evidence of hydroxychloroquine’s benefit in treating sick patients, while reports mounted of dangerous heart problems associated with its use. As a result, the Food and Drug Administration last month warned against the use of the drug outside hospital settings or clinical trials.

Cardiologist Steven Nissen of the Cleveland Clinic said the new data, combined with data from smaller previous studies, suggests that the drug “is maybe harmful and that no one should be taking it outside of a clinical trial.”

I'm not giving them my traffic but are they referencing the VA study?

Doesn’t it have to be prescribed by a doctor?

Did they control for the fact that the people given the drug may have been in MUCH worse shape?

These assholes are certifiably insane.
They are at war over this drug because Trump said it might work. To Hell with all the doctors prescribing it.

Hydroxychloroquine is prescribed over 40K times a day.
We’re not listening to you anymore WaPo and Lancet.

The MSM touted this exact drug until Trump mentioned it. Tim Pool did a video pointing it out.

How many of them died from drug-induced prolonged QTc?

“For those receiving hydroxychloroquine and an antibiotic — the cocktail endorsed by Trump — there was a 45 percent increased risk of death and a 411 percent increased risk of serious heart arrhythmias.”

Do you ever feel shame for being such a soy laden weakling?

We don’t believe the WaPo nor the political medical rag Lancet nor this study and we don’t care about what they have to say on the subject.

tigerinDC09: They used it (the dossier) for a Carter Page FISA. The part they used has been largely verified.
LINK
tigerinDC09: I'm saying that in this instance, there is publicly available information that indicates that the FISA application was well founded.
LINK
tigerinDC09: Steele's sources provided reliable information re:Carter Page that wasn't available via other public sources. It has now been confirmed. Page originally denied any contact, but now says he may have "spoken briefly" with them. This bolsters the reliability Steele's sources does it not?

That's fine, you don't have to believe in gravity, but it still effects you.
Good luck getting this drug in a hospital if u get covid. No self respecting emergency doc will prescribe this now.

Do you think HCQ is contributing to mortality? Honest question.

All the suggested bad narrative about HCQ and they conclude with “maybe”.
frick the garbage WaPo. Typical fake news. Selling doom and gloom and finishing the article with plausible deniability.
This crusade against HCQ is the weirdest thing from the left I have ever seen.
