Scientists at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute are trialling hydroxychloroquine as a possible method of curbing the spread of the coronavirus.
The use of hydroxychloroquine as a treatment for the virus faced fierce backlash around the world and was subsequently banned in multiple countries, including France, Italy and the United States. Global concerns over the drug mounted following a decision by the World Health Organisation to halt trialing the drug due to safety concerns. US President Donald Trump praised the drug for its effectiveness, announcing in May he took it over a two-week period.
If it’s so good then why isn’t trump using it?
Only controversial to the NWO-lovers who have a good reason for people to be locked down and stay sick!
FINALLY 🙏
TrumpHasCovid but for some reason they aren't going to give him Hydroxychloroquine. I wonder why Maybe because it DOESN'T work! BOOM!
All scientists in the world condemning use of that drug for treatment of corona virus. Pharma Co wants to make billions and what better place than Australia. Just like smart meters were bend in Europe because of effect on humans health- it’s okay in Aus. Cosmic bend in Europe and
And to think Victoria banned its use way back in April before extensive trials had been done. Wonder why
Finally some ppl are doing it right...
How can this possibly be?
A controversial trial of a prescription drug that's been on the market since the 1950s?
🙄😂
The federal government has a lot to answer to. They have let us down. Fuck vaccines. Clive Palmer bought a boat load of this stuff months ago. Fuck vaccines again 🚜🚜🚜
What trial? Are we of a different make than those tested in clinical trials in Michigan?
If they're doing this properly, and aren't designing a study to fail intentionally, this is called 'saving face', something I've observed in the past 11 yrs of investigating aspects of Oz med science & PH. living5D
ANTICOM_Aus These self-serving politicians should be lifting their ban on the use of HCQ in Australia. Everyone knows HCQ works
The science isn't controversial. It clearly has been shown to be beneficial, globally, in many countries. The media and the politics has been controversial however.
It's not controversial. Glad you have some honest scientists in Australia.
About time
More and more headlines of HCQ. It's coming and we will have it. This plandemic will soon be over. Watch America, and follow suit.
geehall1 Italy using hydroxychloroquine a lot.
Why NOT try something that has been around for years and COULD work!!! WHY not TEST it out? Nothing to lose really. If it could save lives this will be yet another thing DicDan has FAILED in by prohibiting doctors to prescribe it. Dan your stupidity is astounding.
Not controversial at all. Plenty of trials worldwide have confirmed the safety and efficacy of this drug in treating the “plague” vs a few which don’t. Should be more readily available in Australia then is currently.
About. F'n. Time
No big pharma money in HCQ - Vaccine is the money - thats why we are locked down waiting so gates can get another bazillion $ in royalties feom his funding...fauci tangled in the money web
The one Trump was talking about? Months ago
That doesn't add up ... The emphasis is on HCQ to eliminate covid? The claims have been to reduce symptoms and possibly save life. Prevent the spread by elimination is something new and completely different. Who are the Aussie scientists.
how about you fix your article on this 'many countries banned the drug BUT SEVERAL HAVE NOW OVERTURNED THEIR BANS' 'the WHO ceased trials over safety concerns BUT THOSE CONCERNS HAVE BEEN RETRACTED'
... best they remember the zinc too and give the correct dosage...
If it works (am sure it will) - the there should be a class action by the Australian people against their Governments and health officers. They knew!
I'm disgusted & shocked to think that Australia was basically last in the world to consider HCQ. I'm ashamed that the officials wouldn't listen to doctors all around the globe. This makes Australia look backwards & the government look greedy following the big pharma greedy vision
I hope whoever banned it in Australia is exposed.
I’d like to see data on those elderly that have died with or from Coronavirus, who were taking this drug regularly for arthritis (a common disease of the elderly). Is there a link or is all this research anecdotal?
Finally, 70% death reductions on reported countries using it and look at the graphs of countries that haven't used it.
Beware!!! There is no C19!!!
This drug only became “controversial” when Trump started promoting it!! I wonder how many lives could have been saved!!
Its only controversial the MSM, those who follow real news sources have know of its validity for many months. While you're at it, perhaps do an investigative report on what other applications it may have
Something that Dr Cahill has been saying for months...not to mention Trump!
_ColdHands_ better late than never, it's also only controversial because of the media coverage
You mean the same 70y/o drug that was recommended by an Australian infectious diseases specialist 6+ months ago - the first person globally to suggest it could help treat/cure the virus? Why have we suffered such sever lockdowns if they already knew this?
What a pile of horse 🐎💩. The WEHI aren't backing HCQ, they're trialling it. Two very different things. You're either deliberately trying to push a narrative, or you need to hire journalists who have a better grasp of science.
Victoria: Euthanasia State Doctors wont give elderly HCQ because it only MIGHT help them live Our precious elderly get morphine Right now someone called Ed, Maria, Joe, Liz.. who fought wars, depressions, struggled to live & make a life are getting injected with morphine
So TRUMP was right!! Hydroxychloroquine
Full circle!
Is this a joke? Some of us on Twitter were quoting many doctors around the world that had successfully used the drug and MSM simply rubbished it.
joyfans1 After they already watched people die.. How fucking nice of them to finally agree with what Trump said months ago. They all hid or stood against what people said knowing full well the stuff helped. Scientists my black arse.
The only controversy was the ridiculous over reaction by health bureaucrats banning it in the first place in an apparent attempt to support their RAMPANT & LEFTIST TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME public servants bringing politics into the health care sector with lethal results !
Why is it being trialed. It been effective for years
Old news - they were trialling at St Vincents months ago. Must be going well as have not heard any lame media on it
Any more info?
🔥🔥众议院「中国工作组」发布针对中共「邪恶全球计划」的对策报告 众议院共和党领袖麦卡锡和众议员麦克考都认为中共严重影响渗透了民主党和拜登 麦克考还直接说:病毒是中国制造的(the virus was made in China) 麦卡锡说:中共一定抓住了民主党的大把柄
Here's an idea give this to all of the LNP's . It'll be good for them!!
realDonaldTrump is owed a huge apology by the left. Hands up all officials who have taken hydroxychloroquine daily for 20 days since February. That many huh
This will lead to court cases for lots of money
The fact is not one person needed to die from the rona! Banning this drug's use was murder!!! Charges need to be laid!! NobodyHadToDie!!! HCQWorks Murder!!
Lies lies lies !!
JohnHar05308095 HCQ is no longer controversial for Brazilians. We take it at the early days of symptoms, with azithromicin500 and zinc. 5-6 days of total treatment, but generally symptoms disappear by the third day. Life is almost back to good old normal. Hope you get there asap!🙏
How many more trials are really needed though....
Hmmm.
I got mine from India 6 months ago.
It's only controversial because our corrupt politicians banned it because they wanted the vaccine. And a vaccine can't be rushed through if there's an alternative. Why is the question!
Viola1500 Hooray. Clive has heaps. 👌
Without Zinc it’s a waste of time. They don’t intend to use Zinc. So it will fail.
Got my supplies enough for 5 people cost me $100 👍
Another trial, is this just another delaying tactic? We know it works as a preventative and cure, and yet governments shut the economy down and lock us up. This is so suspicious, someones going to pay!
The world is watching GregHuntMP We are watching toxic doses aren't being used, it's being used as either a prophylactic or 'early' covid treatment and in combination with zinc. The people are NOT stupid!!!
Who is going to pay for these decisions that were made to ban it? Could've saved peoples businesses and more importantly, lives. Bowenchris
So they can kill people as medical experts have already said it is dangerous to take.
Really now it starts coming out this should have be done long ago as it’s been out for a longtime as proof it works fir malaria. I’m glad Clive Palmer has bought stock of the medication.
Treatment with Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) cut death rates by half in the sickest COVID-19 patients.
What really puzzles me that the drug has been on the market for years and all of a sudden disappeared in April 2020 for the “safety concerns”.
Truth
Administered to health workers but withheld from citizens 🤔
WHO would hate it if it succeeds as it marks the death of the glorified 'vaccine' in the making
What a disgusting joke! Medical bureaucrats in Australia - and especially the TGA - should hang their political heads in shame! HCQ+ should NEVER have been banned. Blood is on their hands.
In the right dosage and coupled with zinc it can save lives
It’s not controversial. Media again pushing a false narrative. 🙄 FakeNews FakeNewsMedia FakeNewsMediaClowns
If only they did this 8 months ago.
The only thing controversial is its banning and the media cover up...
Only truth can save lives! Scientists should discover the facts about HCQ independently. WHO has manipulated the HCQ Trial on COVID-19 for other purpose.
OmfG talk about Hypocrisy how many ppl died at the hands of this mongrel since they banned the use of hydroxychloroquine, and what now they are letting public servants use it, any ppl have family members die at the handsvof these pollies lawyer up and su these F's
Only 6 months to late 🤦♂️ if only they listened to the “conspiracy theorists”
IT IS NOT CONTROVERSIAL! The only controversy has been the government's corrupted decision to poo-poo it to keep their Big Pharma pals satiated.
Sky News is Fox News South
Remember Govs in Aus restricted the sale of this life saver just before the virus hit... looking for mass death counts? Criminal behaviour.
Look up ZelenkoProtocol
Which scientists?
trustheq84 Its been around for 50 years now, and all of a sudden its not aloud to be used, Do you see what i mean
Is this true? Or something you’d read or hear from SkyNewsOz?
trustheq84 Imagine our shock that both of these states banned it... Orange Man Bad let’s lynch him then pretend nothing happened.. 🙄 So who banned it..? Will they be charged...? People could of survived this 00.003% killer virus... 🤦🏽♂️
trustheq84 It’s been in use for over 60years,dozens and dozens of studies saying it works against this virus. Looks like someone’s trying to cover their arses’we JUST found out it works’!
Wow. All these wannabe Pro drug Doctors on here not knowing what they are talking about.
This drug can causes heart murmurs apart from other side effects. So I hope they inform the test subjects of this.
Wasn’t controversial for 60 years.
Who’s being charged with letting people die then, this has been known for months ! It was the anti-Trumpers who stopped it (msm) that are responsible for it not being used !
Looks like realDonaldTrump was right all along!
What, trialling something that’s been safe for decades ? Something that’s been saving Covid deaths in Turkey for months ! But Gates & Fauci won’t make money from that, it’s a cheap drug to make, pharmaceutical companies won’t like that, Covid suffers will though !
Well f*** me....what have some experts been saying for a long time. Why have we not been using this? How many died because we haven’t used this? 🤦♂️
Another trial set up to fail.
My body - my choice
Id love to know WHO has shares in the company producing this drug... id think that very interesting. No -i wont be retweeting this
Oh really? So realDonaldTrump was right? Again? When he said What do we have to lose? 🙄🤔😡
Controversial, your arse
Been around for 50 years. Trump spoke about it and takes it about 3 months ago and so many other countries are using it....
HCQ is not magic, however it’s the one works as early prevention and treatment of Covid19, please free the prescription for everyone and lift the restrictions.
May as well shove it up their arse!
They need to give it with zinc otherwise it's not effective.
The usual Trump haters politicised this. Bunch of unintelligent people assisting CCP at every turn.
Wow, it’s only taken 8 months to get to this...don’t forget the zinc
Let's hope this trial is done right. Given early Along with proper antibiotics and Zinc
The only reason it is controversial is because Trump mentioned it. Orange man bad, fuck everyone else right?
so, politicians who banned it, should be held accountable for deaths, their decision to ban it because 'trump was for it' shows they were blinded by reason, and only acted on self interest.
👍
About time!
Didn't work
Was only controversial because realDonaldTrump said it worked maybe if people put aside their hate for this man more lives could of been saved
Oh, but when Trump urged Doctors to use this in the plandemic against a virus no more deadly than the flu, you all laughed at him? Oh, the irony.
This drug wasn’t controversial until it became recognised as a cure for coronavirus...only then when it looked like it would stop the need for a vaccine did it become a problem.
Chris Bowen and Dr Nick Coatsworth, looks like you were both wrong and Craig Kelly was right.
Shouldn’t even be controversial. Anything is worth trying if ur can save lives.
The HCQ is proven including any earnings and side effects. Nothing to test. The combination with Zinc seems to work for COVID19 with no extra side effects. Why do we need our own tests ( and delays) and we cannot collaborate to those that have already done it? Australia
Correct. It is just a trial to see if it is effective in slowing infection in frontline health workers... it's *not* being administered to people with COVID ...
I didn’t think you guys believed in scientists and their work. Well there you go.
Let Dr Rupert’s Health & Media Network tell You what’s good For You ! 🤦🏻♂️
It’s about time! We need to find ways to treat and live with this virus now it’s out and spreading. We can’t rely on a vaccine only, we need effective treatments as well.
When big Pharma money means more than the cure...they ban the cure!
This is one, as of now found to b effective & cheaper med for covid til now. In India though case r rising but at the same time no. Of recoveries r also high! Just cross check the active & recovery rates!
It's not just hcq, zinc as well, hopefully they are doing their test correctly not like the other idiots that said it does not work.
Politicians know better! 🙄
Nothing controversial about HCQ. 70 years of success.
It’s not controversial. HCQ has been used for decades. It’s safe. It works.
About time. They must be getting worried
We should have done this months ago but some idiot banned it.
