The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) quietly deleted large chunks of its guidelines on hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine, the drugs President Donald Trump has claimed to be potentially effective treatment for COVID-19.
Testing by a French study determined the efficacy of using hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine against the COVID-19 virus: Zero.
If Trump recommends it, I’m against it! (Apologies to Groucho Marx.)
It is about fucking time…,
Did anyone tell the Dotard?
“Ya mean I wuz wrong?!”
“Tell Jr. to dump the Sanofi holdings.”
Did CDC takedown the anecdotal report because they are NOT prepared to face lawsuits?

In a Texas nursing home, some residents were given Trump’s much touted drug WITHOUT informing the families first!
A group of COVID-19 positive residents at a Texas City nursing home are being treated with the anti-malaria drug hydroxychloroquine, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said Monday.
Families of residents were not notified before the drugs were administered, but nursing home operators were in the process of notifying them Monday, Armstrong said.
Yeah, I recall skimming a news article saying French people have had life threatening side effects.
Muricans don’t need that: we have Donnie to put our lives in danger.
I had my Faux watching boss tell me
" The Lupis patients are not getting Covid19. They’re taking that drug and it makes them immune"
Googled Lupis and Coronavirus
First thing I got , the Lupis site that said No, Lupis patients are getting Coronavirus, as a matter of fact they’re more at risk
This is a college educated woman who has had her IQ reduced by 30 points thanks to Faux news as well as disabling her critical thinking skills
Here is the Newsweek account of the Democratic woman who donnie rambled about yesterday. Newsweek did not interview her, this is a report based on her interview with Ingraham. This is still extremely anecdotal. Who knows how she pulled through. It almost sounds as if she wasn’t in the hospital.
Wonder if the CDC had thoughts of being sued for pushing Dr. Trump’s magic elixir?
Seriously. Every report says that if you aren’t in great health already, COVID is more deadly to you, but some how having a disease that compromises your immune system will be helpful. 30 points might be too much.
The headline is misleading. Whitsett said the drug saved her life. She said that Trump’s pushing it gave her the idea to try it. She did not say that Trump saved her life.
“I really want to say that you have to give this an opportunity,” Whitsett said Monday. “For me, it saved my life.”
This is bad news for people stupid enough to follow medical advice from Donald Trump. The use of hydroxychloroquine as a first line of defense goes against the sagest of medical advice. The fact that it has been used for decades as an anti-malarial, lupus, and arthritis medication does not mean it is a catch-all for other diseases. I wish that people would defer to the experts who know what the hell they are talking about. To date, no one with the last name Trump in easily accessible medical literature possesses any level of medical expertise.
I think there will be a firing Friday night.
Yeah…I heard donnnie say this the other day. What I think he was trying to circular logic around to is that since Lupus patients take chloroquine, they aren’t getting COVID-19. Total bullshit, but I think that was supposed to be proof of his snake oil’s efficacy.
Too bad Newsweek didn’t run the comment from the Arizona WIDOW whose husband followed Trump’s advise and drank Fish-Tank Cleaner. She said, they were following Trump’s recommendation about using hydroxychloroquine; they had a slightly different version but believed it would work- Just FINE.
Some patients get better no matter what their Doctors do.
That was actually at the bottom of the story:
In March, an Arizona couple afraid of contracting coronavirus took a form of chloroquine phosphate, believing it to be the same drug President Trump had called a “game-changer” in the fight against the illness. After they both ingested the chemical, which is used to clean aquariums, [the man died] in a Phoenix hospital while the woman was placed into a critical care unit.
“Don’t believe anything the president says, and his people, because they don’t know what they’re talking about,” the woman told NBC News. “And don’t take anything. Be so careful. And call your doctor.”
Bingo!
