Hello everyone
He was never taking it in the first place.
He got 8000 mg of Regeneron antibodies that saved his ass.
Antibodies that none of the rest of us have access to.
When he got 'rona, not when he was exposed but came back negative.Trump says he’s no longer taking hydroxychloroquine

Hello everyone
Apologies for not dumbing it down for you.
Fake news. AMA has this on as a resolution. It's like a legislator introducing a bill. The resolution has to be passed by the House of Delegates to be AMA policy. It was not. Recommendation was to not affirm the document.
AMA stands by doctors ability to prescribe drugs in an off label fashion when their clinical judgement proves it to be medically necessary. That lends zero additional support to the use of HCQ.
Frankly the use of HCQ is stupid and political. There is no additional benefit no matter how much people want to believe there is. The data is pretty clear.

Likely zero to a couple. And that would probably have been from the azithromycin.
People don't understand the difference between recommended based on high level evidence (i.e. it works), recommended based on limited evidence (i.e. it might work), not recommended but not discouraged based on conflicting or anecdotal evidence with low potential for harm (i.e. what this resolution was), and not recommended due to lack of efficacy and/or potential for harm.
The AMA resolution suggested that they aren't discouraging doctors from using it off label, but they aren't recommending routine use. Further, as @Urohawk stated, this was a proposal that was not approved (which is why it was "hidden").
There is absolutely nothing ground breaking about this, but the people who are clamoring that hydroxycholorquine was made political obviously are looking for any reason to support use because... they are making it political with a background of insufficient education for context.

Isn’t that EXACTLY what Dr Kaur tweeted (which I posted w/o comment): that it was a resolution? And she linked the pertinent resolutions report for people to see.
You sure all seem to get your panties in a twist when anything contrary to your collective genius is posted.
🤣 🤣 🤣
That's not what you're posting it as. You're pretending it is something "official".
It is not. Nor is it supported by any scientific evidence to date.
It was administered while she was in her care center. She was sent to ICU after a few days (5-6 maybe) with O2 levels struggling to get to 90% with 4L. She was in ICU for several more days and couldn’t get above 90% with 10L, and that’s when she qualified for the Mayo study of convalescent plasma. O2 steadily rose, and after 10 days was at 96% on room air.
What ultimately helped her? I have an opinion that it was the plasma. Could the HCQ and AZ that helped? Who knows, could be.
I understand the science behind the biochemistry of HCQ and AZ and convalescent plasma, but my whole point is that her case and the others in this thread are all anecdotal. And, anecdotes are where controlled studies stem from.
