The anti-malaria drugs chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine are receiving attention from French President Emmanuel Macron as nearly 460,000 people signed a petition asking French officials to allow their wider use as potential treatments for coronavirus.
Although Raoult's studies showed positive results, both have been criticized for their methodology and limitations, according to the American magazineRaoult's first study involved only 42 patients, and Raoult personally decided which ones received drugs and which received placebos, a move which critics say could have biased his results in favor of the treatment.
U.S. President Donald Trump has touted Raoult's studies as indicators that more doctors should consider administering chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine to coronavirus patients. Raoult himself gives hydroxychloroquine and the antibiotic azithromycin to his coronavirus patients even though it's not yet approved by French authorities.
French president Emmanuel Macron, takes part in a March 19, 2020 videoconference of the"economic task force" in the green Presidential meeting room at the Elysee Palace in Paris alongside French economic leaders and government members concerned about the coronavirus epidemic and confinement measures.
Wow, people acting out of fear and mis-information can be scary. American's point of view here to the French: don't be fooled by Trump...he only acts in his own self interest.
Put Springsteen on the cover so People read this
Wtf
Is this the drug the Trump family have a stake in and that he's been pushing in press briefing to push up sales?
So...shown to be effective given to people with mild symptoms🤔. I’m guessing with that criteria a Tums would have done the trick🤷♀️
Nice!!!!
Let em take it. But... 1.) They pay for it out of their own pocket. 2.) They pay for subsequent visit to the ER & ICU 3.) They pay for their own funeral costs Give it to them.
How’s a globalist ever supposed to depopulate the planet if people keep finding easy cures?
Opinion isn't Science.
I question the authenticity of the signatures on that petition.
Can’t believe it’s not a widespread treatment already.
This isn't how Science works. You can't sign a petition to make an existing study rigorous.
So the DRAFT DODGER will cause deaths in France also.
The popularity of a drug is irrelevant to its efficacy as a treatment.
In Brazil, two famous doctors were cured with h-chloroquine. One of them is infectologist and responsible by corona task force of São Paulo. The largest city of Brazil.
Is he acting like a typical Democrat and not following the science just because Trump mentioned the drug. Democrats would rather die than take anything Trump mentioned. Leftist Democrats are Krazy!
Yes, because if history has shown us one unrelenting truth, it’s the righteous wisdom of a frightened mob.
Signatures done equal science
Good luck, France. Let’s hope your citizen don’t die of the side affects of this experimental drug.
It has its place, but it is certainly not a 'cure all'
