Sounds like there were a couple of botched studies. Have they tried it with zinc?

 

Most importantly, does it work yet??

It doesn't bother you that there was a coordinated effort to derail trials and introduce doubts into a potential lifesaving treatment?

Isn't this the report that the media has been hyperventilating about?

 

 

 

And then this

 

 

Hard to believe that a respected medical publication would ruin their reputation just to make Trump look bad.  What makes people want to hurt others to get a shot in at Trump?

Trump is in the way of their agenda. That is why.

Sooo ...  why not recommend zinc and broccoli instead of zinc and HCQ.  Broccoli might cause indigestion, but it’s no threat to create an arrhythmia, right?  

 

We need the Big Broccoli lobby to get on that stat.

Ask Amy.  She says yes.  She might be Vice President, and maybe President one day.

TDS is a crippling condition if left unchecked. 

 

And the Trump curse is very real. They should have known.

...so mea culpas are forthcoming (COUGH)??…………..

 

Network newscasts skip major hydroxychloroquine report retractions, org says

By Brian Flood | Fox News

 

Evening newscasts on ABC, CBS and NBC all ignored experts raising “serious scientific questions” about the data used for controversial research into the effectiveness of potential COVID-19 drug hydroxychloroquine, according to the conservative media watchdog group NewsBusters.

 

“All three [networks] had used the study to chide President Trump for pushing the drug and taking it himself,” NewsBuster analyst Nicholas Fondacaro, who studied the coverage, wrote.

A database by the Chicago company Surgisphere Corp. was used in an observational study of nearly 100,000 patients published on May 22 in the influential Lancet journal that tied the malaria drugs hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine to a higher risk of death in hospitalized patients with the virus.

The validity of the data, however, has been called into question. The Lancet first published an “expression of concern” with the study after “serious scientific questions” were brought to its attention. It then retracted the report altogether on Thursday.

A separate paper, which also used the Surgisphere data, was also retracted from The New England Journal of Medicine. Earlier this week the NEJM issued an “expression of concern” regarding the study published May 1 that suggested widely used blood pressure medicines were not raising the risk of death for people with COVID-19.

Interesting.  You'd think that allegedly unbiased news organizations like the ones above would seek to correct the incorrect "news" they gleefully peddled.
