i mean, what is so astounding is that after 4 years of having their idiocy bounce back on them, sometimes almost immediately, that they have not learned a ***** thing. incredibly astounding. they say #TDS isn't a real malady. my ass.

 

Comments like these are why you're on the hoax list.

This is either profoundly disingenuous or stupid...One of the two.

 

Where did Europe get it from?  The Magic Coronavirus fairy?

 

And when Trump shut down China, just about everyone from the media and left were adamantly against it.  Is he suggesting that Trump should have also closed down Europe at the same time, even though there wasn't enough data to suggest it?  Last I checked, they did close down Europe but it was too late.    As if any Lefty politician would have done it before Trump.

According the the VA study I provided a link too, HCQ treated patients had more that twice the mortality rate as non-HCQ patients.  That is a fact.  You are providing anecdotal evidence.  The people you cite may simply have improved on their own.

 

Fake science and fake logic.  /end sarcasm.

At what stage were they given the treatment? That appears to be a main consideration with its effectiveness.

This is why the current studies either pro or con aren’t worth much.  We don’t know anything about patient selection, adequate controls, etc., etc.

I don't know but the constant mantra that it saved many lives and we can't wait for clinical trial should be abandoned by anyone reasonably sane.

That's why you have to look at what he meant with his childish comments.  He's taking about light penetrating deeper into the skin.

 

He doesn't pull things out of thin air.  He hears a few snippets from the experts, then jumbles the topic in the PC. 

 

He also has to be exhausted by now from all of this.  When people are exhausted, they ask stupid questions or say stuff to the effect of 'there are 57 states.'  

 

Cuomo should be given a pass for telling people that want to go back to work that they should become essential workers and then they can.  He's exhausted too.  Laugh at 45 for asking a dumb question, but don't make it out to be his telling people to drink (or even bathe in, hi Mrs. Cuomo) bleach.  He asked a question.  (A few actually.)

Again, please go tell that to the patients who have recovered after using it.  I am sure that will go over well... We need to clinically test this treatment for 2-3 years, and then if we deem it works, we'll get back to you. Of course, you'll be long dead, but what do I care? I'm a scientist, *****!

Actually UVC light does a pretty damn good job of killing the virus.

I think a clinical trial, as well as accumulating all the relative data, are extremely important. I also think saving lives NOW is extremely important.  Why can't we do both?

Oh there have been quite a few who have said that.  Doc especially.  Do you still hold your anecdotal evidence as superior to the trial I cited?

Sorry but this is how science and medicine works.  You don’t know if the drug caused them to recover or if they would have recovered on their own.  And in one of the trials I believe a patient or two died from cardiovascular complications.  Maybe they would have recovers from the virus on their own.

 

You are reacting emotionally.  Scientists and physicians can’t do that.  A physician can give this drug off label.  And it may alleviate symptoms or not.  But you cannot say with certainty until proper studies are conducted.

You're continuing to miss the point. 

 

But that's on brand.

I do! If I am given a treatment that cures me, helps me to breathe, helps me get better, I do not give a flying ***** if it has had clinical trials for this particular treatment.

Thank goodness President Trump signed the "right to try"  EO. Otherwise, a lot of people would have died waiting on clinical trials.

I agree.  What you’re not seeing is that giving the drug may save lives, it may do nothing, and it may cost lives.  Do the studies.

Your defense seems to always be the other person is missing the point.  Then perhaps you need to make the point clearer.

One or two people vs thousands? M'kay.  Again, you go tell the people who recovered using this treatment they should not have. They need to wait around for you to conduct a clinical trial. I am certain that will go over well.

Again this is nothing new.  I’ve used UV lights to disinfect in my lab for over 30 years.  Surfaces are different than cells within the body.

disagree, Indy. injection simply means the forceful insertion of a substance under pressure.
