An anti-malaria drug that
doctors hoped would work against COVID-19, and that President Donald
Trump championed and said he took himself, has failed to show
substantial benefit in a second University of Minnesota trial.
U
researchers compared 491 people with early symptoms of COVID-19 — with
one group taking hydroxychloroquine for five days and the other taking a
non-medicating placebo — and found no measurable differences in their outcomes.
Death
rates of .4% were identical in the groups. Hospitalizations and
persistent symptoms over 14 days were slightly more common in the
placebo group, but not by a significant difference. Mostly mild side
effects such as nausea were reported by 43% of patients taking the drug
vs. 22% taking placebos.
The study adds to a volume
of evidence that discourages the use of hydroxychloroquine to treat
COVID-19 — including the first trial result that the U published in the
New England Journal of Medicine last month that showed that the drug
offered no protection for people who likely had been exposed to the
virus and were at risk for infection.
Oh!

who do you think produces HCQ?
ReplyDeleteYou don't understand that it's a dead duck. It doesn't work with this virus.
Dexamethasone, which is cheap, abundant and not patent protected is effective. Why are you fixated on just HCQ? Let go of it.
Pharma sold millions of doses of this placebo called HCQ to the US govt. If it had proven successful in trials, they would have sold a lot more of it too.
