   Then I hope you get all you want even though there doesn’t seem to be any benefit.

   REGARDING:
   “I do want the option of taking this ‘useless’ drug if there is even a chance of could reduce the severity of symptoms. ”

   Sandy,
   Then I hope you get all you want even though there doesn’t seem to be. But what does the CDC or the FDA know? They only have a few decades of experience and tested thousands. (The original only included around 60 and they excluded those who died. It turned out if you don’t count deaths, you show fewer deaths.)

   They have plenty of the medicine available. You should get all you can stand.

   I do wear a mask, I do social distance. I do want the option of taking this ‘useless’ drug if there is even a chance of could reduce the severity of symptoms. There are additional studies about hcq that are being ignored by the FDA. I believe they made the decision based on one or two initial negative trials.

   REGARDING:
   “If we could take hydroxicloriquin like other countries the death toll and hospitalizations would drop!”

   Then why didn’t they? The Food and Drug Administration reported: “hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine ..showed no benefit for decreasing the likelihood of death or speeding recovery. This outcome was consistent with other new data, including those showing the suggested dosing for these medicines are unlikely to kill or inhibit the virus that causes COVID-19.”

   They tried. It failed. Doctors used it trying to save lives and they died as frequently as before. It is not in common use around the world, although Brazil tried it because their leader believed our leader. Brazil has more deaths per day with less than half the number of serious. critical cases as we do.

   Other drugs actually do reduce death rate and more are being investigated. But if it makes you happy, you can get your doctor to give you the worthless drug instead.

   David for truth, fewer lies

   @Sandy Duff. It’s about stopping cases to begin with. If people had worn masks and socially distanced like other counties did, we’d be in better shape. Instead, we have science deniers, people who are too immature to tell the difference between a want and a need, and evidently many folks who dont care about anyone but themselves. Those characteristics dont make a country “great.” Anyone who really wants to get back to normal isn’t griping about wearing a mask.

   If we could take hydroxicloriquin like other countries the death toll and hospitalizations would drop! Why does medicine have to be political!
