    I haven't seen a single other news source on this yet. Some states are blocking off-label use of hydroxychloroquine unless the patient is hospitalized. Well the FDA just overruled them.

    Politico: "IT TAKES AWAY RESOURCES FROM OTHER TREATMENT METHODS"

    President: "How so? It's literally the best treatment method we have, why shouldn't we explore it further?"

    Politico: "HCQ IS STOLEN FROM PATIENTS IN NEED"

    President: "Ok so we just hire more workers to produce more of this stuff so we don't get shortages"

    Politico: "ITS UNPROVEN"

    President: "Here you have a trial of 350 people with Corona all healed, how's that unproven?"

    Politico: "NOOO YOU CAN'T JUST HEAL PATIENTS AND MAKE OUR FEAR MONGERING GO AWAY NOOOOOOOOOOOO, REEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"

    Then our political leftists want to know why fewer and fewer citizens are trusting in the integrity of media outlets that openly propagandize for the political benefit of the DNC in times of a national and world wide catastrophe. Hell . . . the leftist allied MSM aren't even good at lying to the nation and to the world. They so very much suck at it that anyone with functioning brain cells pretty much become automatically suspicious of ANY new anti-Trump viewpoint or assertion that they promote.

    France has been heavily researching the use of these drugs in regards to treatment of the China Virus. Again, anyone paying attention to ALL the news knows this. To say that its possible efficacy is unknown is a blatant LIE by -- again -- the leftist-allied media outlets. Israel recently shipped us many millions of doses of the anti-Malaria drug free of charge because unlike our politically motivated MSM, they did do their research. So forth and so on.

    Great news, this is what needed to happen to this medicine will be used to save more lives, well unless you live in NV or MI.

    This news is going to upset a lot of lefties. Seems they don't want to hear such news.

    What was overruled? The FDA authorisation is for hospitalised patients too. That is a perfectly sensible approach for using an untested treatment so the patients can be closely monitored and any side-effects responded to promptly and it reserves the supplies for the most seriously ill.

    There are no medical substances to be found that do not have any side effects.

    Yes, I know. Your point?

    I'm stating that to anyone who claims the states who don't want to use it until they know the side effects. Im saying we already know what they are.

    There were plenty of them rooting for this medicine to kill people, so they could say "see!!!!! Trump put Americans at risk and should have made this go thru 12 years of specialized coronavirus testing!!!!!" The politicized far left is despicable.

    Yes, and those potential side-effects could be very serious to people already suffering the effects of COVID-19, hence the rationale of the FDA (and other authorities) limiting use of the treatment to hospitalised patients.

    Right? The same way they wait breathlessly for the new COVID infection and death numbers to be released daily. Notice how we never see recovery rates hyped? Or mention of how many Americans are not known to be infected at all?

    Death from covid-19 is not a good side effect either.

    Who needs the corrupt press middlemen?

    "Based on the totality of scientific evidence available to FDA, it is reasonable to believe that chloroquine phosphate and hydroxychloroquine sulfate may be effective in treating COVID-19, and that, when used under the conditions described in this authorization, the known and potential benefits of chloroquine phosphate and hydroxychloroquine sulfate when used to treat COVID-19 outweigh the known and potential risks of such products"

    Every single liberal article about this drug, has this exact statement in it:

    "touted by President Trump"

    Almost as if it's a talking point memo sent out by Media Matters or something.

    I'm not clear what point you're trying to make here. I'm not opposed to these drugs being used. My main point was that the FDA authorisation didn't actually contradict any existing policies of limiting their use to hospitalised patients. Anyone at immediate risk of death would be in hospital anyway.

    We knew it was coming, government would lose all credibility if they withheld it. So are transfusions of plasma with antibodies coming -- but that's a complicated and time consuming process.

    Open fire with everything you got or can get.

    True. Just listen to the fast-talking list of side effects that come at the end of every lullaby Big Pharma commercial on TV. There has never been an absolutely safe drug produced yet.

    But people decide they want to take pharmaceuticals and the lawyers try to recruit them with a different kind of TV commercial about 2 years later.
