FDA issues warnings on chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine after deaths and poisonings reported
The peer-reviewed Journal of the American Medical Association released a new study Friday that said researchers cut short a study testing chloroquine as a potential treatment for Covid-19 over safety concerns, citing a “primary outcome” of death.
Nearly two dozen patients died and some developed irregular heart rates after taking doses of the drug daily.
Several other studies here, in France, in China, and else where have shown the thing does no good and causes extra deaths.
Nobody should be still testing this.
Nobody would have even begun testing this at all were it not for the boobie in the White House ordering them to waste valuable time and money on a quack cure only a little less stupid than injecting Lysol into a patient's lungs.
Every death caused by this drug in these trials is down to him, since doctors would not be doing this were it not for Bozo.
How many ways is Trump killing people and has he killed people since this started?
Well, before this started he began to kill with his stripping away of the US capacity for a quick adequate response to a pandemic.
Then there was his and his administration's denial throughout December, followed by ignoring his own advisors freaking out privately in January in favor of more denial and more refusal to do anything, followed by widespread and continuing shortfalls in PPF and ventilators, followed by an ongoing testing shortfall of by now hundreds of millions that should have been done all across the country but have not.

Remember his administration's refusal to share unused equipment because federal stockpiles were not for use by the states and locales and to use presidential authority to order and nationally coordinate production and distribution of tests and PPE and other medical necessities?
Remember his refusals in word and deed to accept responsibility for America's public health response to the virus, a responsibility he repeatedly dumped on governors whose efforts he obstructed and ignored, providing mostly high-visibility and not especially useful help like sending one hospital ship to New York and one to California?
Add in the constant flow of weeks of lies understating the danger and promising it would all go away soon to Americans and refusals to follow expert public health advice on immediate and serious efforts to slow infections.
And then add in his constant and utterly stupid interference with decisions what therapies to employ on the sick and what drugs to test for use in treating the sick that have diverted huge sums from useful research that he has wasted on worse than useless quack remedies, resources that otherwise would have been used speeding the day when we would have useful antivirals and other useful therapeutic options.
Finish with the threats to refuse to provide emergency relief to the states and locales.
And the continuing and deliberate shortfalls in various forms of testing aimed intentionally at preventing Americans from knowing the true progress of this disease to date, the true number infected and the true number killed by the bug, for various ugly political purposes including hiding the adverse impact of too early rollback of lockdown and other measures of mitigation.
Did I miss anything?
Other than the actual numbers, I mean, which I don't have and many of which nobody has, thanks to Bozo and his running dogs.
