Almost about two months since anti-malaria drug hydroxychloroquine was first reported by renowned French Professor Didier Raoult, the drug has become the number one controversial drug in America since President Trump touted the drug on social media back in March. Public health officials repeatedly warned the drug is dangerous and unsafe for use due to lack of proven and random clinical trial to back up the claims. Some media outlets here in the U.S. went as far as calling the drug “unproven.”
Now, for the first time, a major news outlet here in the United States is covering hydroxychloroquine in a positive light. Today, CBS News shared hydroxychloroquine success story in Turkey. Citing citing Turkish government, CBS News said, “Turkey’s Ministry of Health says the relatively low death toll is thanks to treatment protocols in the country, which involve two existing drugs — the controversial anti-malaria drug hydroxychloroquine touted by President Trump, and Japanese antiviral favipiravir.”
“Doctors prescribe hydroxychloroquine to everyone who is tested positive for coronavirus” Dr. Sema Turan, a member of the Turkish government’s coronavirus advisory board, told CBS News. Hospitalized patients may be given favipiravir as well if they encounter breathing problems, she said.
While the debate ranges on, many doctors and patients have shared anecdotal success stories of the drug. Many claimed the drug saved their lives.
So far, Turkey still has the biggest coronavirus outbreak in the Middle East, with more than 117,000 confirmed infections. More than 3,000 people have died. But the government claims to have a lower fatality rate than the global average estimated by the World Health Organization at over 3%.
It has to be true!
Turkey is a Muslim country.
Dr. Fauci says it’s anecdotal...
Unproven like an Arizona murder
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
Because he took hydroxychloroquine and survived anecdotely”
Why did Coronavirus get the works
That’s no one’s business but the Turks
We are going to find that the media who were negative on the drug because Trump was favorable toward it and Democrat governors who forbade use of the drug were responsible for many deaths that otherwise could have been prevented. Fauci is also complicit in my opinion — he downplayed positive info on the drug as anecdotal while he hyped any positive info on Remdesivir.
Turks are braggarts on par with the Iranians and Norks.
Turkey’s ahead of U.S.
LOL!
Lives saved by hydroxychloroquine are illegitimate lives and such people should be denied government employment and the vote at least.Remdesvir(sp) is the only drug that pays lots of money to the Pharmaceutical Industry and by extension to the bureaucrats and thus is the only legitimate drug to use.
