FDA terminates emergency use authorization of hydroxychloroquine for Covid-19

The Food and Drug Administration has revoked its emergency use authorization for the drugs hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine for the treatment of Covid-19.
After reviewing the current research available on the drugs, the FDA determined that the drugs do not meet “the statutory criteria” for emergency use authorization as they are unlikely to be effective in treating Covid-19 based on the latest scientific evidence, the agency noted on its website on Monday.
“FDA has concluded that, based on this new information and other information discussed in the attached memorandum, it is no longer reasonable to believe that oral formulations of HCQ and CQ may be effective in treating COVID-19, nor is it reasonable to believe that the known and potential benefits of these products outweigh their known and potential risks,” FDA chief scientist Denise Hinton wrote in a letter to Gary Disbrow of the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) on Monday.

So?

It appears that Dr. Bonespurs "Miracle Cure" has been thoroughly discredited as a "treatment" for COVID-19.

It is a very good thing that very few Americans actually took the "Medical Advice" of a CLUELESS Amateur (like Trump) seriously.

Just more proof that Trump's Entire COVID Response has caused more harm than good.

I fully support the FDA's decision.

Thoughts?

 

Trump's utter cluelessness on display:

https://www.statnews.com/2020/04/06/trump-hydroxychloroquine-fact-check/

 

some are worried Trump could do the same with the Vaccine... try to push it through without enough testing before the election, just to brag he got America a vaccine.... personally, I will not take any vaccine until months after the election if one is released, let others be the guinea pigs

Trump has too many in his admin fearful of telling the truth, some have even sighed NDA's that they can be sued for telling the truth

 

It will be interesting to see if those who are now calling for herd immunity will be lining up for the vaccine because it is recommended by their leader.

 

There is ZERO Chance that we will get a vaccine before sometime in 2021.

In fact, there is no guarantee that NEXT SUMMER will be any different.

Nobody can really agree on When (or IF) we will get a vaccine.

Maybe we never get a vaccine?

When is comes to COVID-19 there seems to be Only ONE Thing that is Universally-AGREED Upon:

When it comes to COVID-19:

Trump is a Medically-Unqualified MORON (Who has No IDEA what he is talking about).

^At least (on that point) there is Universal Agreement.

 

It was the media, etc that called it a "miracle cure", not the President of the US. He was specific in that it's something that we should try and as far as the medical community is concerned, it doesn't work. Okay, fine, onto the next treatment. The point was, politics interfering with a medical problem that should be in conjunction with their patients flies in the face of pro-choice.

We can no longer take Democrats or Democratic voters seriously when they say pro-choice. It really should be "pro my choice" if we're to be totally and completely accurate.

And there are other treatments, though I hope Trump doesn't utter their names because if he does, the media will rush to proclaim those ineffective as well: IE: Antibody serum.

 

if Trump tries to steal credit for them.... hopefully the news won't even show it, trump didn't build that

Trump took a gamble and lost, Trump is good at picking the losers as the winners

 

"Hopefully the news won't show it". So if the antibody serum is effective, if Trump and/or the administration were to say that, that information shouldn't go out to the people!?

/Facepalm. Again, Democrats are weaker on choice then they had proclaimed for the past 25-30 years.

 

This is SUCH a surprise....not

 

People rushed to take that drug because Trump recommended it in preference to taking other drugs that could have resulted in a better outcome.

 

They probably would have been better off taking Pepcid.

 

Exactly.

Trump is such a Completely Unqualified MORON.:smh:

 

Political assassination attempt from deep state. Predictably boring.

That's all. There is a good deal of research data indicating HCQ and CQ are effective. What is damning is that this conclusion is so politically impacted by Gates, Fauci and the NWO vaccine pushers. Theirs is not science but greed.

It has taken them this long to extort their cut of the loot.

 

"They are all against me!"

 

How do people rush to take a drug that is only available by prescription?
HCQ is bad because there is no profit in it. The patent has long since expired and it is cheap. Big Pharm is at the helm of this argument.

I’m not a big pill person. The only pill I take is a quality one a day vitamin. But I cut off cable/direct tv years ago because big Pharm was constantly pushing their dope in my living room.
Soap operas are called that because their advertising was mostly soap of some sort. Now it is drugs, drugs, drugs.
Check it out, count how many drug ads are played the next time you watch a favorite channel. Sometimes it up to three drug ads in one commercial break. If it’s not a drug ad, it’s a personal injury attorney but I digress.

If you don’t think big Pharm has a vested interest and the ability to manipulate covid to their advantage, I think you are kidding yourself.

 

British scientists have found the first drug to stop people dying from Covid-19 which will be rolled out on the NHS from tomorrow.

Breakthrough research has shown a common steroid given to coronavirus patients could have saved between 4,000 and 5,000 lives in the UK.

A third fewer patients on ventilators died when given dexamethasone compared to those given standard NHS care.

Leading scientists running the RECOVERY trial say the £6 drug will now become the standard of care for all Covid-19 patients on oxygen in hospitals
https://www.mirror.co.uk/science/breaking-major-coronavirus-breakthrough-uk-22200565

A £6 drug is being rolled out. Hardly big profit to be made:

The clinical trial gave 2,100 Covid-19 a low dose of dexamethasone while a further 4,300 patients were given standard NHS care.
Among patients who received usual care alone, those on ventilation saw 41% dead within 28 days.


In those who received oxygen but were not placed in ventilators - the same treatment PM Boris Johnson received - the mortality rate was 25%.


By comparison 13% of hospitalised Covid-19 patients died in the 28 day period.


Dexamethasone reduced deaths by one-third in ventilated patients and by one fifth in non-ventilated patients receiving oxygen. It had no benefit in those not needing respiratory support.

 

Ahh ... I'm so sorry. Have a sippy-cup of warm reality.

 

None.

 

The pro-choice label is in regards to the abortion issue. Right-wingers are no more "pro-life" across the board than liberals are "pro-choice" across the board.

Especially because many right-wingers outright refuse to wear a mask that might protect the lives of people around them. Suddenly, these "pro-life" folks become "pro-choice", declaring it's "their right to choose" whether to wear a mask that can protect life or not, despite the nearly undisputed safety benefits.

 

no, not what I said, they should not show Trump trying to steal the credit for the drug if he does so

just report the facts on the drugs... that is what the people want

so guess that gives your facepalm a whole other meaning now doesn't it

 

Yes. It's their choice. That's the thing about choices, a choice can be contradictory and it is still yes, philosophically a choice. We are not bound to make our decisions based off our first initial decision. Where the hypocrisy charge applies, is where someone philosophically claims they are for choice, claims they are for the freedom to make that choice but when a person makes a choice we disagree with, or a choice we think endangers them, then we say "don't make that choice!"

If it's within the bounds of the law, to condemn or to try and take away a lawful and legal choice is the abounds of hypocrisy and no one will(or should) believe such a hypocrite again.

It's not about what others do or won't do, it's about the ability to defend those philosophical values, no matter what. And unfortunately, we as a nation could not defend those philosophical values. They weren't even values, because we discarded them.

 

Pro-life when it comes to abortion and pro-choice when it comes to masks is just as wispy as the other way around. Both groups oppose choices when they disagree with them. There is nothing special about the right over the left in this regard.

Well then there's quite a few pro-life folks, several prominent ones in fact, who are as much hypocrites as the mask shamers.

My point in response to your original comment was just that pro-choice in regards to abortion does not mean every position you take on other things will also be pro-choice. Both groups are willing to remove choice when it suits them.

 

Sure, but let's not act like the pot is calling the kettle black. Or if they are, then both pots are actually kettles.

 

Doesn't sound like a panacea. I would remind you that hydroxychloroquine use began in March, I think it was, as a stop-gap measure based on a persuasive anecdotal evidence that it helped. It was never boasted as a reliable cure. But it is interesting that the stories of its curative power have not been disproven.

They do want a mandatory vaccine, I think, for reasons not at all clear since corona virus isn't much of a threat to the majority of people
