Since the 1940s, however, chloroquine has been FDA-approved and safely used to treat and prevent malaria. It has also been used to treat HIV and autoimmune disease. Its side effects are well known and, generally speaking, nonexistent to mild.
Simply stated, this is not true. The FACT is this drug can present serious complications, and should never be used without the guidance of a physician. My wife is a physician, works for the CDC, and this medication can cause heart issues. It can also affect the mind and one's thinking ability. My wife used the drug in Africa when she was there fighting ebola, and she had to stop using it as a protection for malaria because of how it affected her mind.
Again, someone misleading the people of America.
Trump is right, there is sufficient evidence, and I am sure the president has more evidence and conversations with his team for him to say what he did, that the medication is working. We have all seen people state they used it, and it saved their life. What we do not know is the clinical data to determine is it the best course of action, or are there other pharma that would be more effective. We do not know how many people it did not help. So, the clinical data is not there, yet. But the study performed by a leader in infectious disease in France is sufficient for me to insist on its use universally until something better comes along. What the Nevada governor did is not in the best interests of the population there.
