I am hearing you...but if it’s saving lives, detail is extremely important.

I put a link to the article in profile posts and in my thread/journal new beginnings.
I get shy putting up sources now, as I've been in the firing line before when my info didn't fit with other's worldviews and then my sources just get written off and deleted. So I think it best if people research for themselves to satisfy themselves. My linked article is a starting point. Look at profile posts. My last one provides a link to the article about 50 hospitals rolling out the treatment in my country.

I am hearing you...but if it’s saving lives, detail is extremely important.

I can do a search for the Dem pollie, if you want? But, really, the info is put there if people want to know about it.

Due to the fake news media refusing to credit Trump with anything (How UNUSUAL?!) It's hard to find good news articles, but this is a scientific study.
Efficacy of hydroxychloroquine in patients with COVID-19: results of a randomized clinical trial
Rates in Au, are dropping FAST. I think perhaps the drug program they are using might have something to do with it?
Just a speculation and MY OWN OPINION.

@mumstheword That report is, on top of all that's wrong with it methodologically, a too small sample to draw from.

Literally, that few patients, and without better casuistics to observe key factors & variables, are insignificant sample statistically.

This is not about censorship.
This is as @Warrior Chicken said, about saving lives, with sound medicine.

You can't bring unproven medication to field critical care.

You just can't. People die if you do that.

Here's some more current research info. No one here is telling you what to think. I simply put up MY OWN OPINION IN A RANT THREAD.
Dead Link Removed

Ok one more link, but YES I EXPECT TO BE POOH POOED FOR THIS ONE TOO. IT WONT MATTER WHAT I PUT UP BECAUSE PEOPLE BELIEVE WHAT THEY WANT TO BELIEVE AND DIS WHAT THEY WANT TO DIS.
LA doctor seeing success with hydroxychloroquine to treat COVID-19

I am disgusted with our media!! To make this virus another reason to bring up racism.

Yes, more people of color are testing positive for covid. But not because of their skin color!!

Multi generational homes.
Still congregating in large groups.
Poor diet.
Poor health.
Not practicing social distance.
Some didn't have running water.
The majority of inner cities are people of color.

I'm not here to debate my thoughts just want to express my anger with our media!! They have the ability to bring us together, instead they continue to divide us!! ?

I ? our Surgeon General, Jerome Adams!

F the media!!!!

I need to address some things in this thread. I'm going to do that, and then the thread will return to its purpose - rants, not debate.

I am hearing you...but if it’s saving lives, detail is extremely important.

@Warrior Chicken - if I was reading you right, your point was that @mumstheword mis-referenced hydroxychloroquine as "hydrochloraquine"

Yes?

Ok - so, that was clearly a typo, nothing more. There's no such thing as hydrochloraquine - it's just a (relatively common) mis-spelling of hydrOXYchloraquine. This thread is not here to start debates. Let people rant, if they wanna rant. Don't correct their spelling.

...I've been in the firing line before when my info didn't fit with other's worldviews and then my sources just get written off and deleted.

@mumstheword - I don't know how many ways I can tell you, on this site, that's utter bullshit.

When you post links to propaganda masquerading as information - yes, those are removed. Propaganda = a small kernel of truth that is then exploited to convert people to a belief system. On this site, we remove that, whether it's based in politics, news, religion, science...everything. It's not some kind of targeted attack against you. Could you please stop believing that it is?

Re: using hydroxychloraquine for COVID-19...

Hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine are oral prescription drugs that have been used for treatment of malaria and certain inflammatory conditions. Hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine are under investigation in clinical trials for pre-exposure or post-exposure prophylaxis of SARS-CoV-2 infection, and treatment of patients with mild, moderate, and severe COVID-19. More information on clinical trials can be found at ClinicalTrials.govexternal icon. FDA issued an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) to authorize use of chloroquine and hydroxychloroquineexternal icon from the Strategic National Stockpile for treatment of hospitalized adults and adolescents (weight ≥50 kg) with COVID-19 for whom a clinical trial is not available or participation is not feasible.

Source: CDC (US) page on options for clinicians whose patients present with COVID-19

Translation - in the US, hydroxychloraquine has been authorized for treatment in critical cases. It's been authorized and in use since March 28, 2020. It's a risky drug, and people certainly should not attempt to dose themselves with that drug. But doctors are using it - in Aus., and in the US. And elsewhere, I'm sure. It CAN help. It can also kill you. So, there's that. (And, if anyone wants the starting-point source for the statement made by State Rep. Karen Whillit (D-MI), re: thanking Trump for talking about hydroxychloraquine, read it in the Detroit Free Press)

Now: This thread is not here to provide a way for members to circumvent the basic rules on the site. We've got a thread to discuss COVID-19. Use that thread for links.

Use this one to blow off steam. Rant.

That's it. Comments on this post are unnecessary and will be deleted. But if you want to address anything I've said, you can do it via Contact Us.

For all the self centered as*holes I'd like to say go F*ck yourself. Sick and tired of picking up all your slack while you sit on your lazy *ss expecting me to do things for you. Join the club life sucks. and Boo f*cking who that you don't like technology. Maybe if you would get off your lazy a$% you'd see that you aren't the only person here!!

 

[Ronin]

Ya (don't have the word, 'cept for in your language)-faces,

That we both had to bugger our patriarch for your nonsense BS & admit we're pupils who can't sort that shit on our own is an offense that will not stand.

So headstart.
I'm getting you & yours down. In another life.

Dark Knight in THIS one. Few years path good as any.

 

[Deanna]

I'm sick if this f'ing virus! It's boring and deadly! Now we interupt this program to all go back to work on May 1st or 4th. So sick of all of this. There nothing more to talk about. Except when Trump is going to open the country. I need surgery! I've had it! With all of this

 

[Survivor3]

f*ck my energy supplier. I'm on benefits and I'm paying through the nose for my f*cking electric and gas. I don't even use gas because I'm so depressed that I don't wash. I'm paying double what i used to pay. So do you want me to come round and perform sexual acts for you aswell. You c*nts. f*ck you. ??

 

[Changing4Best]

I want to say go f*ck a wet dog, one of my father's favorite sayings when he was pissed off at someone.

But I am not that mad. The guy does not really deserve that. But he deserves some kind of cussing out.

I just have no words to fit such an unusual situation. You see, he probably wants to tell me off too.

Maybe we will quiet down by the time this lock down is over.

 

[LuckiLee]

Just let me be crabby if I need to be crabby! I should be able to express my sh!t without it triggering you into being a freaking azz!! JHC everything doesn't revolve around you.

Let me b!tch, get it out of my system and move along. Instead of thinking it's an attack against you!! Same team, remember???

?

 

[Ronin]

Ah shucks @LuckiLee, home front hardships hit the hardest.

May it resolve soon & *passes you cocoa, or more like Mt Dew*
