Doc

I'm more excited to see what Solomon can do.

High dose and long duration mean exactly what they say. That's first week Pharmacology in med school. No one is getting any eye problems after 1 week or even 2 weeks at moderate dose. But cite away...

You know what "duration of use" means, right? It means that at 5 years and without surveillance...it's 1%. It's not like they develop it after a week or two of being on it. Hell there isn't even a follow up needed for that short of a course.

I think Byron Donalds would be a good choice. I've always been impressed by him whenever I've seen him.

Since you mentioned it, I looked it up. Major risk factors are high dose and duration of use, as well as renal disease. But even for those on HCQ for 5 years, the risk of toxicity is just 1%. Ten years is 2%. No one was talking about using high doses or taking it for very long.

They forgot to include the one where Biden shakes Chuckie's hand and then puts his hand out to shake Chuckie's hand again.

I couldn't even finish "The Book of Boba Fett." Hell after the season 2 ending of "The Mandalorian," nothing else does it for me anymore.

Oh, he makes stuff up. That's totally different from lying.

Yup. And if the FBI can't determine if a laptop has been tampered with (hint: they can)...

Oh, the irony.

"We don't like the contents of the laptop so it must have been tampered with even though there is zero evidence of it" is a winning strategy.

SO MUCH SPINNING That also means they can't verify the contents were tampered with.

I forget, is LRon the one who says that lies aren't equal?

More like Baghdad...

Any way to bring charges in a deep red district? Jerry-rig some justification like the Dems did and, say, contend that "election denial affects every part of the country"?

Hilly may have done all of what you say (except the politicization thing, which is silly even for you)...and it still wouldn't have made a damn bit of difference.

So these 51 former intelligence officials didn't believe the FBI? I thought that was just a MAGA thing?

That's right. HCQ suddenly became dangerous when Trump mentioned it. Amazing how this drug that's been used for 70+ years and is in use my millions daily suddenly became dangerous. When are they going to pull it from the market? And you don't think the vaccines did "some damage" to kids who were vaccinated unnecessarily? Think that more clinical trials should have been done there before indiscriminately forcing everyone to get it?

You'd be surprised how many "mainstream docs" prescribed HCQ during the early portion of the pandemic. Or used it themselves.

A trade (post-June 1st) could easily be done. It's just $5M in dead money but more importantly a decent draft pick (the only reason to do it) and $2.66M in cap savings.

So...searching for a solution to a non-existent problem?

Such fear. Why hasn't Biden declassified it then?

Yes we have better treatments now. I addressed that above. And sure, you shouldn't trust drugs you don't get from an American pharmacy/prescribed by a doctor. Again something that shouldn't need to be said. Congrats, you wrote something everyone already knew.

LOL! You'd expect a doctor to know what "safe" means when talking about a drug. They all have side effects and many require some sort of surveillance. And the article you linked it talking about chronic usage (meaning people are on it for years...and not dying 😱) of it. Yeah there was a limited supply. So people on it chronically would have been impacted because a pandemic was killing people and there was no other treatment. And true, you don't prescribe it for everyone. That's true for every drug ever made. No the excuse was that it was a drug with decades of being used by hundreds of millions of people safely and we didn't have time to do clinical trials. It would have been a stop-gap until the vaccines and other treatments were available, later in the year. Had it been a completely new drug whose safety was unknown, yes I would agree with you that you don't just give it to people.

Hey, gotta throw that Russia, Russia, Russia Hail Mary...
