Study links drug Trump touted to greater risk of death

Seriously ill Covid-19 patients treated with hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine were more likely to die or develop dangerous heart arrhythmias, according to a large observational study published Friday in the medical journal The Lancet.
Researchers looked at data from more than 96,000 Covid-19 patients from 671 hospitals. All were hospitalized from late December to mid-April and had died or been discharged by April 21. Just below 15,000 were treated with the antimalarial drugs hydroxychloroquine or chloroquine, or one of those drugs combined with an antibiotic.

  1. If we do a really good job with creating new vaccines & then vaccinating the entire mainstream media, including all of their subsidiaries, we should be able to eliminate Fake News entirely in just a few short weeks… 👍😀👍

    1. Is fake news stuff you don’t agree with or like? Try learning some critical thinking skills. That way you can consume Fox and CNN and anything else and differentiate between rigorous journalism and opinion pieces.

    1. its call fear-mongering by the democrat’s Lmao when is not fear is Racist lol Didn’t Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez gave a speech at a global mayors event on Friday, highlighting that the world’s most advanced and richest economies are failing to take sufficient steps to combat climate change (BULLSHIT) LMAOF Climate change Bs Now coronavirus Bullshit what’s next with the FEAR mongering I mean the world will end in 12 yrs lol whats (NEXT) lol

  2. You know what is a proven higher risk of death, Cuomo sending covid positive patients to nursing homes.

  3. Just another study that gave them a much higher dosage than recommend. Protip: take to many Aspirins and it suddenly becomes a very dangerous drug.

    The recommend dose is 200 – 400 mg a day.
    “The mean daily dose and duration of the various drug regimens were as follows: chloroquine alone, 765 mg (SD 308) and 6·6 days (2·4); hydroxychloroquine alone, 596 mg (126) and 4·2 days (1·9); chloroquine with a macrolide, 790 mg (320) and 6·8 days (2·5); and hydroxychloroquine with a macrolide, 597 mg (128) and 4·3 days (2·0).”

    1. @Bibi Bhatti Maybe because he was the vice president 8 years ago….pretty tough to get in trouble when your second in command to the entire country.

  4. We showed in the (NOT) peer review study that they left out the critical element ZINC & they’re still trying the exact same thing

  5. Why do dems leadership, famous movie stars, sports players ect.. Choose HCQ over ventilators?

  6. Florida’s death rate dropped over 65%. HCQ is the magic cure but dems want you on a ventilator instead
