A drug infamously touted by Donald Trump has been linked to nearly 17,000 Covid deaths in a new scientific study.
Researchers say that the anti-malaria drug hydroxychloroquine was prescribed to patients during the first wave of Covid-19 “despite the absence of evidence documenting its clinical benefits.”
The French study estimated that 16,990 patients in the US, France, Belgium, Italy, Spain and Turkey may have died as a result of the drug.
The study has been published in the February issue of Biomedicine & Pharmacotherapy.
Researchers say the data used comes from a study published in the Nature scientific journal, which reported that there was an 11 per cent increase in mortality rate linked to the drug’s prescription.
I take this daily (for other, tangible and prescribed reason)… Doing just fine. People slamming miracle/untested ‘cures’ always seem to have trouble, weird
Google “anecdotal”
So not for COVID? Which is what this article is about?
If people said incorrectly that Prozac cured pancreatic cancer and you took it for depression, why would that matter on the pancreatic cancer issue?
Share the “tangible and prescribed” reason then. Spoiler alert: you won’t.
Your dosage is likely much less, and still the drug had some dangerous side effects at your dosage from cumulative toxicity.
Am i wrong or did your point get missed?!
I took you to be saying that just because this drug is safe for the people this drug is intended for, look what happens when someone takes random chemicals without any idea of what they are doing.
It seems like responses to you are not taking it that way?
You read it correctly… I haven’t read the other comments yet and starting to think maybe I shouldn’t
Ahh okay. Yeah dont maybe.
Thanks
