Hydroxychloroquine usage in Mexico

Really? Getting medical information from Popular Science? Puleese! Let’s keep it real!

I told you all I got a merit badge for blackballing. That is the dubious talent of tainting/dipping an outlier's testicles with permanent black India ink. Right up to wedding day. Cures cancer and every virus/bacteria known to humankind.

Yes, its references are to actual medical studies. But perhaps you prefer sources like your president's latest witch doctor.

You should get yourself some. If you ever come down with symptoms you’ll be glad you have it

Nope, I would not touch that stuff either. Cortosteriods, anti-inflammatory and anti coagulant. I take vit c and d3 daily and am on cortosteriods for arthritis.

I wouldn't allow a ventilator either just O2.

Man with a plan. I like that.

Well I actually plan on not getting it. That is my backup plan......lol.

I cannot believe this thread, Hydroxychloroquine has been prohibited in France to treat covid patients as they experimented with it when COVID started there and find out that it did not work , it is still allowed for other types of treatments, Wee have people here who believe they know better because a charlatan is telling them it is ok, never mind that the same charlatan had bought a bunch of stock and was pushing the product.. on the people´s dime. The same charlatan is crazy about a doctor who believe that having sex with demons is bad for your health....and of course he has to be right because..?

I am not a Republublican nor a Democrat as I am not a citizen from that country but the ignorance of some people is mind blowing..

LIKE!!!

yes living a jealthy life style , wearing a mask and social distancing is a way better way to protect ourself than taking any preventive drug, especially whe ithas been proven useless...and can be harmful in some cases..

There is little doubt that Hydroxychloroquine works in vitro (in the lab), however, in vivo (in humans) no clinical evidence, not even as prophylaxis for people exposed to Covid 19, and here is a Randomised double blind clinical trial which says so:

Unfortunately some folks just want to believe that it works and are more likely to believe some white-coat folks on youtube as opposed to a double-blind scientific clinical trial.

This study has already been discarded as not being very scientific since it was mostly a survey done over the Internet.
The doses were way higher than the recommended dosage protocol. It seems they were purposely trying to cause side effects.
NEJM has been having some questionable studies published lately. They have been criticized for that.
There is a lot of false information being produced by both sides. You have to follow the arguments very closely.
I just put an article about a medication that is superior than Remdesivir but is being held back because it is not as profitable.
Here it is again.

Well at least Jreboll seems to be on top of the "studies and data" regards this drug. Personally I would not take it but that is a decision we all get to make for ourselves.

That is a Strawman argument, posting an off topic link to Marketwatch, seriously? You can do better than that, post a link to a recognized medical journal with a peer reviewed article on a clinical trial using Hydroxychloroquine in Covid which proves that it works.

They’re available if you look for them.

Name one.

C’mon, grow up,

Seriously. You claim the trials are out there if you look for them. I challenge you to find and name ONE clinical double blind study to support your statement.

We’ve been discussing this argument since February. I’m not going to rehash everything. You can decide for yourself whatever you want.
Don’t demand proof. Do your own homework.
This is an adult website, no one is going to lead you by the hand.

I'll take that as a "no, I can't find one" as you've been asked since February to furnish proof and still can't.
