    That’s pretty close to the survival rate without any medication. What makes you think it does anything?

    it's sad how the liberal left is playing politics with the Chinese Virus and the life saving drugs....tragic even.

    Doctors using it do. I will listen to their experience over your denial.

    I prefer to wait for clinical trials to prove whether it is effective or not. I prefer science over blind faith and anecdote.

    The VA was not a clinical trial.

    I haven’t seen any clinical trials. So it is surprising that so many trump supporters believe it to be effective. Even without evidence.

    You mean doctors, you know, the ones on the front lines using it.

    The folks completely in the grips of "Orange Man Bad" are pretty obvious to everyone. I wouldn't sweat it.

    WAIT, I THOUGHT THIS WAS DISCREDITED QUACKERY PROMOTED BY THAT DERANGED TODDLER TRUMP: UW Medicine to conduct clinical trial for hydroxychloroquine with COVID patients.

    “The University of Washington School of Medicine is looking for people who have tested positive for COVID-19 to participate in a clinical trial aimed at finding out whether a controversial antimalarial drug called hydroxychloroquine can keep them from having to be hospitalized. . . . The $5.8 million trial is funded by the COVID-19 Therapeutics Accelerator, an initiative launched by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Wellcome and Mastercard, with support from an array of public and philanthropic donors.”​

    This seems more promising than waiting until they’re at death’s door on a ventilator to try it.

    Trump should publicly praise Bill Gates for this trial, just to throw the press into confusion.

    I suggest you investigate the meaning of the word “science” you throw around. It isn’t what you have been led to believe.

    A survey of what doctors think is not science.
    A double blind study is not only science, it is the only ethical way to determine whether a drug is effective and its benefits outweigh the side effects.

    A normal dosage is 200 mg as a preventative taken once a week.
    A kill dosage when you have active malaria is 400 mg taken once.
    The tests used 400-900 mg daily for 10 days.
    Doctors recommend not taking any malaria preventative if you intend to live in a malaria endemic area for more than 6 months because it's worse on the body to take anti malarials for that long than the occasional case of malaria. I get it a couple times a year.
    I do not know the treatment Lupus patients go through but the Lupus Association says that there are Lupus patients who have contracted covid-19. There are not enough cases of either to make assumptions on Lupus patients being less or more likely to die from Covid-19.

    The VA study wasn't science.

    I didn’t say it was. Read my posts.
