doctors and other medical experts
Do you understand doctors treating patients are experts too?
they say that HCQ has never been approved and is not recommended in South Korea.
Comissions say that in America too.

But so what? Other experts disagree with them.

American physicians still use it too.

Now what?

We need to design studies that take it to the next level to answer that question that’s what.

And the left has done all they can to HINDER such scientific investigation.

Yet hydroxychloroquine is still being used. And used allegedly successfully.

I don’t know anything about HCQ use in South Korea. I do know, however, that there is no HIPAA in South Korea. They publicly identify persons who have Covid so people can avoid contact with them in case they break the strong quarantine rules.

But unless a successful vaccine comes along, SoKo has simply put off the reckoning. As NZ demonstrated, you can’t completely seal off a country enough to keep out a highly contagious disease.
 
Thbolt (here) . . .
I didn’t say you claimed it.
Thbolt several posts earlier (here - bold mine) . . . .
. . . . no longer recommend using HCQ and you keep claiming they do and falsely claiming the HCQ is the reason why South Korea has such a low infection rate.
As I said to Thbolt here . . . .
The “lie” is not coming from me Thbolt.
And as I suggested to the readers here before . . . Draw your own conclusions.

They are very self-evident.

And here is what I REALLY said . . .
It MAY be.
And that is WHY I have ALSO said more research needs to be done.

But the national leftists are beyond the point where they are ignorantly (they just don’t know) claiming hydroxychloroquine isn’t working . . . . They are now to the point where at least some of them are HINDERING the proper research being done.

And this is not only self-destructive of these people,
but it is (envious) destructive of others too from these leftists doing this.

It’s not that I don’t believe in the theoretical possibility of illegal corruption of these organizations. It’s that there is no evidence of actual corruption. All you have is a conspiracy theory.
There is at least some evidence of corruption behind the withdrawn articles at the Lancet and the NEJM. You refused to review it, therefore it doesn’t exist as far as you are concerned.

Oh, I guess you’re right.
do you believe the use of HCQ is what has kept South Korea from major COVID outbreaks?
My “beliefs” about that are irrelevant to the thread.

What IS relevant is that further study be done to answer such issues.

Not run down rabbit holes about my beliefs here.

Is there? Or was it just a poorly done study? It sometimes happens that articles in professional journals are withdrawn when further investigation reveals flaws in the original. It does not always mean those flaws were the result of illegal corruption.

But you are claiming much more than corruption in two articles. You are claiming ongoing corruption in the CDC and the NIH, still without evidence of same.

I will take it there is none and suggest that you should not suggest that the numbers of deaths in South Korea being low has anything to do with HCQ.
That’s fine. You can take it however you want.
 
LeafByNiggle on two diifering fake “studies” in two different journals by the same “group” . . .
Or was it just a poorly done study?
Good grief.

The corruption doesn’t have to be illegal.


Still don’t believe in the power of money in the health care industry?

Still going tell us there is nothing to see there?
 

You’ll need to read this closely. From the header:
However, with increasing application, adverse effects of remdesivir have been detected and become a concern of clinicians.
Remember remdesivir is the $3000 drug the NIH and CDC are currently pushing. On behalf of who?

I’ll call your attention to a particular finding: atrial fibrillation is cited in 3 of 53 cases. That’s 5.6%, better than 1 in 20 chance of a severe cardiac rhythm disorder that can kill the patient outright.

By the way, the $3000 is just for the drug alone. It has to be taken via IV which implies it has to be taken in the hospital. Which further implies all the billing that goes with that. You’re the lucky one with Medicare, you don’t have to worry about that part. But the rest of us who pay taxes and/or face medical bankruptcy do.

The bad news about remdesivir doesn’t stop there: 12 of 53 patients showed hepatic enzyme problems. 25%! In other words, remdesivir puts patients at very significant risk of liver disease and likely cannot be given to patients who already have hepatic issues.

But remdesivir the $3000 drug that doesn’t work that well is fully approved while HCQ the far cheaper drug that isn’t as deadly is banned.

But you keep right on insisting that money makes no difference.

Uh, where’s the evidence for corruption? Did someone in the NIH get caught accepting a bribe from Gilead to promote remdesivir?
 

Instagram bans LifeSite report on drug to treat COVID, cites ‘misinformation’​

The stifled article cited testimony from an accomplished medical doctor and professor of epidemiology at one of the most prestigious Ivy League schools.

Wed Sep 9, 2020

By Martin Bürger

September 9, 2020 LifeSiteNews — Instagram has removed a post by LifeSiteNews for allegedly going “against our Community Guidelines” and containing “harmful false information.” Thed post referred to an article on renowned Yale professor Harvey A. Risch praising the benefits of using hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) in treating COVID-19 patients. . . .

. . . . By removing LifeSite’s Instagram post, the social media platform, owned by Facebook, censored not merely a random thought of one of its users, but the informed opinion of a respected medical doctor and professor of epidemiology at one of the most prestigious Ivy League schools.

… Harvey A. Risch had praised the proven benefits of HCQ in fighting COVID-19, emphasizing at the same time that opponents of HCQ have no science to back them up.

“I conclude the evidence is overwhelming,” Risch told host Mark Levin during the latter’s Fox News show in August. “There’s no question that in the people who need to be treated, and are treated early, [hydroxychloroquine] has a very substantial benefit in reducing risk of hospitalization or mortality.”

Risch accused the opponents of HCQ use of being engaged in “a massive disinformation campaign …

He admitted that he doesn’t know the exact reasons for this disinformation campaign but said later, “It’s an absurd situation that people have compared … to 1984 and the Ministry of Truth, and someone that’s limiting what people can say on objective facts. It’s beyond belief.”

In reality, “the science is so one-sided in supporting this result that it’s stronger than anything else I’ve ever studied in my entire career,” said Risch. “The evidence in favor of hydroxychloroquine benefit in high-risk patients treated early as outpatients is stronger than anything else I’ve ever studied.” . . .

. . . LifeSiteNews has experienced some censorship not only from Instagram, but also from its parent company, Facebook. One of LifeSite’s posts was slapped with a warning label claiming that the article contained false information. Like the article censored by Instagram, this one, too, talked about HCQ. Facebook also linked to a different article claiming that HCQ is ineffective.

Facebook has been in the news for its censorship for years. Last June, undercover video showed that content moderators at a Facebook contractor admitted they proactively deleted conservative and pro-Trump posts.
 
Naturally I am going to post the LifeSiteNews article that was referenced and subsequently removed in Instagram’s (FaceBook’s) censorship . . .

Yale prof: ‘Evidence overwhelming’ for fighting COVID with hydroxychloroquine​

Harvey A. Risch told Fox News that opponents to the HCQ drug are engaged in ‘a massive disinformation campaign.’

NEW HAVEN, Connecticut, August 25, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) — An epidemiologist at Yale School of Public Health praised the proven benefits of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) in fighting COVID-19, emphasizing at the same time that opponents of HCQ have no science to back them up.

“I conclude the evidence is overwhelming,” Harvey A. Risch told host Mark Levin during the latter’s Fox News show last Sunday: “There’s no question that in the people who need to be treated, and are treated early, [hydroxychloroquine] has a very substantial benefit in reducing risk of hospitalization or mortality.” . . . .

. . . According to Risch, this started in 1987 with the FDA failing to approve of simply creating official guidance that doctors should consider using a certain antibiotic to potentially prevent HIV-positive people from contracting a specific type of pneumonia.

Instrumental at the time was Anthony Fauci, who became head of the NIAID in 1984.

Fauci said in 1987 that he wanted “randomized controlled, blinded controlled trial evidence” as his “gold standard,” Risch recounted. Within two years, “17,000 people with AIDS died because of Dr. Fauci’s insistence on not allowing even a statement supporting consideration of the use” of the antibiotic.

“Now we have Dr. Fauci denying that any evidence exists of benefit,” Risch continued . . .
