Major study of thousands of patients led by University of Oxford shows drug is ineffective

Hydroxychloroquine does not work against Covid-19 and should not be given to any more hospital patients around the world, say the leaders of the biggest and best-designed trial of the drug, which experts will hope finally settle the question.

Its HALF. A duo meds cure. Bullshat article.

It was the combination of hydroxychloroquine and zinc that showed promising results in treatment. So this study has no relevance, other than having a poke at Trump I suppose. Which is fair enough but doesn't add much to the sum of human knowledge that we badly need right now.

The dosage in trials is toxic dosage 2400 mg on day 1 and 9600 mg in total. It is not optimal. Toxic disosage was choosen deliberately to fail the study. Proper dosage is 800 mg (day1) followed by 400 mg for five days. Total 2800 mg.

And since Trump has been taking hydroxychloroquine, it apparently does not cure selfishness or bigotry either.

You have incorrectly stated that patients either take a placebo or one of the study drugs. It is an open label trial so researchers know exactly which drug patients have taken in the trial and there are no placebos involved.

Id like to see a randomised, double blind, placebo controlled trial for Hydroxychloroquine that is administered early IN THE symptomology cycle.. not in the hospital cycle along with zinc.this drug has been been successfully used for nearly 70 years.

Plus, it's cheap.

This should be your lead article, not the coverup one afterwards

Somebody quickly, go tell trump that 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Nobody claimed it was a cure. It is a blood thinner and helps prevent blood clotting in COVID and other patients.

I would think they'd do the trial that researched what doctors in the field were doing and not one that is designed to fail. IndependentJournalism

But like.... does it help?

Is the medicine💊 “hydroxychloroquine” 🇺🇸President” Trump's favorite things against the COVID19 is'nt it❓️┐(´д`)┌

Duh. But it helps the inflammation. That = life.

Then how did the infected people recover?

Probably more fake news from the et al to undermine Trump for political reasons. Like the fake research published in the Lancet recently

Martin Landry, his UK BioBank exp; BioBank UK is financed by? Wellcome Trust; W.T. gets money from who? Gates Foundation Point: how come a doctor will defend different methods when his money comes from pro vacccine lobby? Dumbs at guardian could do better... takes 5min

Is there a DOI for this article? Can I get the means to actually see the article and summarize it myself.

No shit

No one ever said it did. Cute propaganda headline, though.

Tell us something we don't know

There we go, tomorrow Mr Trump or Bolsonaro's creationists top H-index 'scientists' will bring a counter study showing the marvelous powers of h-chloroquine

It was NEVER alleged to CURE anyone. It is a treatment for COVID. Why did the Lancet fake a study on HCQ? Like why on earth would they want to fake a study that says HCQ kills you when it does not? What do they gain?

Question is not HCQ cures SARSCoV2 or not! But Biggest Q is What cures SARSCoV2?

Prefiro a opinião dos médicos que estão a atuar na linha de frente dos hospitais, diretamente no atendimento aos infectados, e que, sim, têm observado ótimos resultados na utilização precoce da hidroxicloroquina.

Why they talk about it ...? just to make money with OLD DRUG 🤬

Did you guys send your position papers to President DT?

Ué jairbolsonaro BolsonaroSP CarlosBolsonaro 🤷🏽‍♂️

Except that it does.

But we can't say that it increases risk of death. The study that found that result was based on data from a fraudulent database - Chris Smith talked about it this morning:

Ya think?

At this stage I don't think anyone gives a shit. Especially the Brit gov and Bojo. Racing to get out of lockdown so Brexitland isn't the last to get out in Europe. Well unfortunately the government you voted for is the one who killed your grand parents et al. Well done Britain!

Some fools facilitated that crazy theory..

Mf admit it 🙂 this the only available option which work on Covid .

A trail on Trump should be done again

Duh🤷🏾‍♂️
