So FDA opinion, or that of a lawyer who is a political appointee about the drugs efficacy. I wrote a post about the VA study and noted its patient selection limitations. But the conclusion that the drug does not work on the most at risk patients is pretty clear. Older males with underlying illnesses.
Yes we now know that just about zero drugs (including HCQ) work once you go once you are intubated (88% died in NYC) Big whoop. FDA statement merely says be careful about prescribing these cocktails which I'm sure most Doctors are. Millions of doses of these drugs are currently being prescribed all over the world and we aren't hearing about 1000s or even 100s of deaths due to the drugs. Most Doctors who are using HCQ cocktail advise using it early. The VA study is garbage and was designed to fail.
My own cardiac electrophysiologist, with 23 years experience, and who recently was inside my heart with a radio frequency probe for an hour zapping circles around the scar tissue advised me that if I were to catch the disease, I would be a good candidate if he stopped one of my medications. I think he knows what he's doing.
