There is apparently a lot of anecdotal data saying people on this med for the other indications are not getting Corona 19.

So Cavuto prefers dead bodies as well? What an scumbag.
I used to respect Fox News and was willing to tolerate Mike Wallace, Shepard Smith and the like because they were balanced by Judge Jeanine, Laura Ingraham, Jesse Waters, Hannity, and more. Cavuto’s FEAR MONGERING report today is entirely inappropriate, and in my view severely damning to the shaky reputation of Fox News. I sincerely hope to see an apology and retraction of the fear mongering report from Cavuto. #fearfection
Well, let’s hope I won’t need to.
Genius! That will go well with #Tyrannogasm!
Welcome to Free Republic!
I can tell from your first post that you have nothing to do with the
Drudge Report.
Am I right?

Cavuto touted a VA study (debunked as limited to those in the late stages of Covid-19 and too late for HCQ to work) to support his fear mongering. He states emphatically that if you are in a vulnerable population and take HCQ “IT WILL KILL YOU!” #fearfection
I saw a tweet from @realDonaldTrump today that looks like a mortar shell about to land in Neil Cavuto’s lap

My wife was the head RN in a family practice group for over 3 decades.
They had a lot of patients on this drug for rheumatoid arthritis and lupus.
She doesn’t remember a single problem with any patient taking this drug.
However, even then these good FPs never started a patient on the drug. The specialists did that and monitored their lab values.
I think a lot of talking heads are China-bots, and China wants this disease to spread.
My tagline agrees with you!

Ventricular Arrhythmia Risk Due to Hydroxychloroquine-Azithromycin Treatment For COVID-19(includes risk table)
...Chloroquine, and its more contemporary derivative hydroxychloroquine, have remained in clinical use for more than a half-century as an effective therapy for treatment of some malarias, lupus, and rheumatoid arthritis. Data show inhibition of iKr and resultant mild QT prolongation associated with both agents.
Despite these suggestive findings, several hundred million courses of chloroquine have been used worldwide making it one of the most widely used drugs in history, without reports of arrhythmic death under World Health Organization surveillance.4
Nonetheless, the absence of an active drug safety surveillance system in most countries limits reassurance from these observations.
Azithromycin, a frequently used macrolide antibiotics lacks strong pharmacodynamic evidence of iKr inhibition. Epidemiologic studies have estimated an excess of 47 cardiovascular deaths which are presumed arrhythmic per 1 million completed courses, although recent studies suggest this may be overestimated.6-7
There is limited data evaluating the safety of combination therapy, however in vivo studies have shown no synergistic arrhythmic effects of azithromycin with or without chloroquine.8
A number of factors are known to contribute to increased risk of drug-induced TdP including female sex, structural heart disease, congenital long-QT syndromes, electrolyte disturbances, hepatic/renal failure and concomitant QT prolonging medications.6
The safety of QT prolonging medications may be maximized by close monitoring and optimization of these factors. A risk score has been derived and validated by Tisdale et al., for prediction of drug-associated QT prolongation among cardiac-care-unit-hospitalized patients (Table 1).9
I can see why he is taking it daily since he has been in contact with so many that have been in contact with positive cases
He could at least make it available to anyone who wants it as a therapeutic measure. Many physicians are afraid to prescribe it out of fear that they may lose their license. it should not be that way.

and no answer...
He’s doing OK for a noob.
He’s already managed to update his home page to address that...
