Chief Medical Officer Dr RP Singh stated “There were a lot of issues with HCQ. Therefore, we have now been instructed to instead use Ivermectin as per the prescribed doses.”
I don’t have any formal medical training and would not venture to recommend any drugs. That is the point of my objection to Trump and other non experts, dismissing the proper medical experts recommendations and warnings in favor of their own recommendations.
I gave two links to the conclusions that the NIH has come to regarding HCQ. Is was not just the shutting down of two studies. It was the reasons for which the studies were shut down. It was not working.
Yet you have no qualms about recomending AGAINST hydroxychloroquine.
Name one.
Ivermectin usage would be great too.
I think you need to go back and read your own articles.
Bold mine.
This is just sad to watch.
You don’t see yourself in this comment? Why continually start threads on it?
I know perfectly well the bio mechanism of both. I also know that just because some drug sounds like it ought to work, doesn’t mean it does. We’re pretty complex creatures.
No. And I don’t appreciate you personalizing a news subject to me.
Two reasons.
I apologize. In my defense, it seems that way at times but I withdraw the question.
Bold mine.
Hey. No worries. I was not trying to milk an apology.
I disagree.
Motherwit. I can’t belive you are attempting to use the eye argument against treating corona virus patients.
The way I’m designed and have successfully navigated my and my families health needs over 60 odd years, is to follow proven treatment recommended by the official experts. There have been times where someone has very enthusiastically pushed alternative remedies or experimental treatments for such and such, but inevitably they never live up to their hype and were either sourced in unrealistic hopes in magic cures or by unscrupulous profiteers. There is nothing new under the sun.
I’m not. You brought up eyes saying your friend the optometrist had never seen a case of eye damage. I responded that it is one of the risks of HCQ according to the experts.
But I never asked about you or your family with regards to your “health needs”.
So you use the best of what you currently have, while searching for ways to improve.
It is not up to me to answer for you as to why you have been critical. As for the second question, that is question best put to a medical specialist, so I will pass on that one too.
How many doctors, exactly, have been telling you (or “us” if you will) that HCQ is a successful treatment for covid? There must be at least 10,000 doctors in the US that are involved in the front-line treatment of covid-19. Did you survey a good fraction of them, like say 10% ? That would be 1,000 randomly chosen covid doctors. Or do you have a much smaller group that was not randomly chosen, but was chosen specifically to include only those who are pro-HCQ? I want to know how you know what front-line doctors think.
The way it’s done in the civilized world is that the experts, the scientists, the medical teams the FDA and all the necessary regulatory bodies, follow a process for the sake of best treatment outcomes for the community. Non experts with other agenda’s putting pressure on those bodies, compromises the integrity of the whole process. I honestly don’t know who you are going to convince that the trials and studies of official regulated medical bodies globally, use ‘the wrong cohorts’ but that maverick outlying politically involved doctors are more knowledgeable and trustworthy?
Trump did something I’ve never seen happen before. That is, publicize a drug that had no official approval for Covid and make it into a political football between citizens who have no expertize and no place in that process. It’s pretty terrifying to realize that this sort of manipulation can take place in a civilized country that undermines the generations of safeguards erected to keep people safe.
