Mark my words. Trump has invested heavily in HCQ manufacturers. And you all are suckers for buying up a drug that doesn't work against COVID-19.
Quick...run along and tell the doctors at Yale they are idiots for using hydroxychloroquine in their current protocol.
"YNHH’s COVID-19 current treatment protocol, which was released April 3, calls for the use of experimental medications. Kaminski explained that physicians “in the trenches” fighting the COVID-19 pandemic have to quickly decide how to best help patients. The protocol alleviates that burden, providing a general roadmap for treatment.
YNHH currently has an “aggressive” treatment protocol, Kaminski said, that advises physicians to administer medication more frequently than other hospitals’ protocols specify.
According to Kaminski, doctors will inevitably make errors in treating the disease because they “need to act” and “don’t have all the information.” Despite the risk of criticism should its protocol have mistakes, YNHH has published it online to make it accessible to other hospitals and to receive feedback.
For patients with severe COVID-19 who require supplemental oxygen, the protocol advises doctors to administer Hydroxychloroquine — the malarial drug that President Trump touted as a potential game-changer in COVID-19 treatment — to prevent the virus from infecting more lung cells."
