Hydroxychloroquine increases Covid survival
Per CNN, who calls the study "surprising."
https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2020/07/02/h...mpression=true A surprising new study found that the controversial antimalarial drug hydroxychloroquine helped patients better survive in the hospital. A team at Henry Ford Health System in Southeast Michigan said Thursday its study of 2,541 hospitalized patients found that those given hydroxychloroquine were much less likely to die.

You know why hydroxychlorquine won't work? It is too inexpensive. Cost rougly 60 cents a pill compared to over 1k for a single dose of remdisivir.

Hilarious. The only people that call it controversial are CNN/MSNBC. To docs everywhere its just another means to an end...aka helping patients.

Did you guys bother to read the article at all? It directly states results were merely observational, not a clinical trial. It might offer insight into our continued battle against this but doesn't magically solve it nor somehow exonerate past claims of it's efficacy. From the article...
"Kalkanis said that their findings do not necessarily contradict those of earlier studies. "We also want to make the point that just because our results differ from some others that may have been published, it doesn't make those studies wrong or definitely a conflict. What it simply means is that by looking at the nuanced data of which patients actually benefited and when, we might be able to further unlock the code of how this disease works," he said." If it turns out to ultimately be a part of effective treatments that's more than great. But insinuating otherwise for cheap political points or just to stir the pot is a tad disingenuous. |

It should also be pointed out it was combined with dexo which has been shown to reduce mortality. Further in regards to price of treatment dexo is like a dollar a day drug and every hospital is awash with it. So the fact that it is now used so much tells you it isn’t some money making conspiracy. The conspiracy theories are just out of hand at this point. |
