My Dr is having great success with it so I will be using it.
You don't have to use it. You think it's dangerous you shouldn't use it.
Sounds smart . . . . if you trust your doc then go for it.

Why even mention this, doc. The chance for any symptom is incredibly low. Good grief.Dr. Not Yet Dr. Ag said:
Not exactly. We have numerous randomized control trials now in numerous different clinical settings all that demonstrate the same thing...it doesn't work. It doesn't work in mild-moderate disease, it doesn't work when combined with azithromycin, it doesn't work in early disease, it doesn't work as a prophylaxis. There are few drugs that we use in medicine that have this amount of randomized data regarding efficacy, and the results have all been essentially unanimous.
Of course none of these studies used zinc which will be a sticking point for those that are staunchly in favor of HCQ efficacy, but there has never been any bioplausibility for why zinc administration with HCQ would change outcomes.
Nevertheless, if you and your doctor want to give the med a try, knock yourselves out. The chance of a fatal arrhythmia from taking this drug is incredibly low, but just know that this risk is real, just unlikely.
Good grief yourself. You don't want information disclosure. If he had mentioned something being a really low risk of mask usage would you still want it suppressed?PearlJammin said:Why even mention this, doc. The chance for any symptom is incredibly low. Good grief.Dr. Not Yet Dr. Ag said:

Dr Fauci's own agency stating HCQ was effective vs coronavirus back in 2005.
What about the catalyst Zinc? Where is Zinc? As another doc says on here, is that HCQ is a very effective ionophore for zinc and zinc blocks the virus. It may not be scientifically proven but I put as much faith in the several countries, with their statistical analysis, saying it blunts the virus. Why do you keep denouncing it when it may be preventative? For many it will work, for many others not. END OF THE DAY ITS IS THE SAME PROTOCOL. I am beginning to believe you guys have an agenda beyond being a doctor.Dr. Not Yet Dr. Ag said:

Sorry it does has reference, given the RNA aspect of it, and the fact that flu still reigns over the vid. Not a strawman, you are not seeing the logic only prejudice/bias.

Using the Baltimore Classification, do you know if the flu viruses are in the same group as coronaviruses?

Controversy rages in the United States over the use of Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) for COVID-19. Critics so many driven to fight HCQ because President Trump advocated for it refuse to yield to evidence that it works. Yet that evidence is pouring in from around the world.
There, it has been a vital tool for both prevention and treatment. It could be reducing case fatality rates. Including in my home country.
HCQ Use in India
The largest population to consume HCQ, and successfully reduce deaths and infection, is in India.
After careful studies from the country's top hospitals, the Indian government recommends HCQ for people at high risk of contracting COVID-19.
Data from lab tests showed HCQ's safety and its efficacy against SARS-CoV-2. Health care workers who took it showed reduced infection rates and mortality despite constant exposure to COVID-19 patients. Clinical trials on outpatients confirmed that, properly used, it is safe.
The Poor Benefit Most
As you might guess, since HCQ is very inexpensive, the biggest benefactors are the poor.
Asia's largest slum, Dharavi, is in Mumbai. It is home to about a million people. It made great progress against COVID-19. Officials credited the turnaround to HCQ and a combination of other drugs.
Given HCQ's widespread efficacy, the Indian government announced it will provide 42 million HCQ tablets to Indian states. Officials stated, "States have to use these HCQ tablets for the treatment of COVID-19 patients and as prophylaxis."
India also produces 70 percent of the global stockpile of HCQ. Since COVID-19 took off, the country has exported HCQ to many countries. The U.S. alone received 50 million tablets.
HCQ Use Elsewhere in the Developing World
Further, India is sending HCQ tablets as aid to 75 or more poor countries. Africa received $16 million worth of COVID-19 support from India, including HCQ tablets.
Morocco used HCQ with high success. In light of that, a Moroccan scientist working in France claimed that "78% of Europe's coronavirus-related deaths could have been avoided if European states had used HCQ."
Turkey, Indonesia, Ukraine, Greece, Malaysia, and Cuba are other countries where early HCQ use brought very low death rates.
What a load of nonsense. Several of those countries listed as "no HCQ" like France, Spain, Italy, UK all used HCQ quite frequently. Also, most of the countries on the "no HCQ" use were hit with COVID early on in the pandemic when widespread testing was not available, meaning that they were only testing those that were hospitalized, falsely elevating their CFR.chjoak said:
