The drug has been repeatedly promoted by President Trump but large clinical trials showed that the drug was “unlikely to produce an antiviral effect,” according to the FDA’s chief scientist, Denise Hinton.

The agency first provided the authorization in March for COVID-19 patients, but opted to revoke it, along with another emergency use authorization for chloroquine, following a request from the acting director of the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority.

A “large” study. How large ? The country this “study” was studied in.
Isn’t it a little bit soon to have performed a study of the magnitude of “large” ?
Have any other countries performed a study of their own ? Has the study been peer reviewed ?
FDA is for sale, and will do whatever it’s masters tell it to do, right, wrong, legal, illegal, FDA answers to The City of London.
If this medicine didn’t work, that would’ve been the end of it. That our beloved Government has taken the steps to ban it’s use specifically for COVID-19 says much more than words. This also follows the pattern of doing absolutely nothing to contain the virus, and everything that’s been done goes against ALL known medical practices worldwide.
Why are you being too lazy to find out the basic facts for yourself? Have you even heard of the disastrous Swedish trial use of Hydroxychlorquine? Try doing some research before making a fool of yourself on our comments board.
