Hydroxychloroquine should not be used to treat or prevent coronavirus, the government’s official COVID-19 evidence taskforce has recommended

.

In April, mining magnate Clive Palmer donated nearly 33 million doses of the drug to help fight the virus in Australia, calling it the "best hope" for patients with COVID-19.But since then, the tide of scientific opinion has turned against the drug. Most major Australian hydroxychloroquine trials have now shut down.

“It’s an evidence-based recommendation. We have high certainty that hydroxychloroquine is not effective for the treatment of COVID-19 and there is strong evidence it has significant harms.”

If you want to know the truth, not political brain wash of COVID -19,or Wall street style of stock bursting,please watch or listen to WarRoomPandemic , they are telling the truth of Virus Covid 19

Well you've shown your true colours haven't you?

Hydroxychloroquine could be the game changer in this pandemic so far which is safe, cheap and effective in both prophylactic and early stage treatment in terms of reducing both the hospitalisation rate and mortality rate significantly. The only golden rule is saving lives, not $!

The pandemic can be finished by hydroxychloroquine, zinc and azithromycin . Please put those drugs Over The Counter to save more lives. No one will be safe if WHO,Politicians,medias still keep lying....! MikePBurgess MarisePayne

The media are the establishment The Left & academia are the establishment Big Tech, Big Pharma are the establishment The people & small business will send a big FU to the establishment.

Teslagirl9 Would he listen to an expert? I don’t think so...”I have used it... I have heard good things...”

wait let me just drink some pool water that has some in it!

Wow... WHO CALLED IT A MIRACLE CURE, EVER?! IT AIDES THE BODY AS A TREATMENT NOT A CURE!!!! Due to you bigotry, anyone who dies is now on your head. Never once was it called a Cure, only that It aides the body in fighting back against the symptoms of the virus, so you can survive

Hydroxychloroquine has been safely prescribed hundreds of millions of times since the FDA approved it 65 years ago. CDC says it can be 'safely taken by pregnant women and children'. WHO calls it an essential medicine. Why is the media all of a sudden claiming it’s dangerous

The god's President ordered his followers to inject themselves with Ajax cleansing powder & Fairy Dishwashing liquid.

Why is a medication that has been safely used to prevent malaria for 60 years all of a sudden “dangerous”? Many studies have shown its effectiveness with Covid. Flawed because they’re not double blind ? No -because you also quite revlimid they are not Double blind.

Well I will take the advice from a medical professional over a government official.

Hydroxuchlorine is not meat to be a preventative, it is said to be effective in early use with zinc on the worst effected patients requiring a ventilator.

Leftist lies matter

We learnt the fact that we cannot trust the authorities. We have to trust the frontline doctors saying the effectiveness of the drug. Our government bodies and medical authorities are collaborating with the CCP to prolong this pandemic, which is what the CCP desires.

TDS standing in the way of saving lives

😡😡😡😡

What? A cheap readily available medicine could be the cure? No way...we need people to get vaccine yearly, that's huge recurring revenue opportunities and potential massive top line grwoth for pharmaceutical companies, stock prices would go through the roof

Yes. We have to wait for Doctor Fraudci's needle, right?

Wow. This brought out the bots & crazies. Journalists have to take some of the blame because they allow disinformation from ignorant people too often.

Hydroxychloroquine could be the game changer in this pandemic so far which is safe, cheap and effective in both prophylactic and early stage treatment in terms of reducing both the hospitalisation rate and mortality rate significantly. The only golden rule is saving lives, not $!

So basically no one has any idea about a vaccine and dr trump’s recommendations are crap?

Fxck the taskforce HCQ works. Used for 75 years, suddenly trump mentions HCQ it becomes dangerous after 100 million people used it safely!

! Remind me when government changes advice....

The WWG 1 WGA cult won't like this. Surely they are Russians?

Massive facts and real cases provide us with the strong evidence that HCQWorks for CCPVirus early stage treatment So are there too many difference between Americans and Italians in terms of physique? If No why this works for 🇮🇹 but not work for🇺🇸 MakeHCQOTC

Trump is right. Maybe you should ask the government officials how much money they took from the pharmaceutical companies!

Excellent bait for the CHQ freaks...they can be entertaining

Breaking! Dr. Li-Meng Yan shows the document evidence which will be released to the world, that proves the CCPVirus is modified (from the PLA owned bat virus) in the lab by CCP.

Umm, it works.

'There is evidence that these drugs could prevent COVID-19 safely, effectively and cheaply, so here is why we should not write them off just yet.' WarRoomPandemic

Yes!Hydroxychloroquine sulfate can effectively prevent the virus from replicating in the human body. All countries are requested to open the right to prescribe hydroxychloroquine.

Everyone has known that for ages! In fact it is dangerous!

Totally agree , death is a far better option for our vulnerable

It must be wrong. I read on Twitter that a bloke knows a guy who talked to some one in a pub who read something on Instagram that said it cures everything and made his penis 7 inches longer.

A taskforce made of pharma funded vaccine advocates.. enough of this BS. There are tests from studies around the world proving just the opposite. We can be assured this same taskforce will never demand the same scrutiny for vaccines

No shit.

SURPRISE,SURPRISE,SURPRISE!! Just another thing this guy has got wrong!! Firing people in 'The Apprentice' was his greatest success!!👎😷🤪🤪👎🦃

No one tell Donnie. Let him dose up.

If only we had bought 63m tablets

Trump ‘mangles’ COVID-19 statistics in bizarre manner | Sky News AustraliaThe Australian’s Foreign Editor Greg Sheridan says it is bizarre for US President Donald Trump to be “mangling” statistics like he was in his recent interview about the novel coronavirus.\n\nIn the interview on Tuesday, President Trump repeatedly denied the interviewer could know statistics from South Korea were true and chose not to use statistics about COVID-19 deaths in regard to population.\n\n“I’m someone who’s tried to take a balanced view of Trump, Trump has done a lot of good things,” Mr Sheridan told Sky News host Peta Credlin.\n\n“But he says and does frankly the weirdest strangest things.\n\n“This is just a bizarre crazy way for a political leader to be mangling his information.”\n\nImage: AP realDonaldTrump It's not bizarre, it suits an agenda, they lied about the soldiers lost in 1918 and how many people actually died and yet here we are. What's bizarre is the headcase that support him. realDonaldTrump Not if you have been paying even a small amount of attention it isn't. Greg. realDonaldTrump Compared with the weird cult running rampant in the Democratic Party, I doubt it'll shift many votes.

Scott Morrison is more ‘nuanced and balanced’ on China than President Trump | Sky News AustraliaFormer foreign affairs minister Alexander Downer says although Australia welcomes the rise of China it must not try to change the status quo through the use of force.\n\nIt comes as Prime Minister Scott Morrison made a statement to the Aspen Security Forum where he said Australia “welcomed China’s rise as a major economic partner”.\n\n“But with the economic rise does come economic and broader strategic responsibility,” the prime minister said.\n\nIt comes in stark contrast to the way US President Donald Trump has characterised China as an enemy, according to Mr Downer.\n\n“That isn’t the right way to characterise China,” he told Sky News host Chris Kenny.\n\n“The much more nuanced and balanced way that Scott Morrison has done it is the way we would hope the Americans would go in the future.”\n\nImage: AP Downer is a fraud with self-interest 🐷👹👌🔥🔥🔥🐲😤🤮🤢🦠🐒👇👇👇 oz_jacko Spy!

The stuff of memes: Australian reporter's hard-hitting Trump interview goes viralIn an interview with Australian White House correspondent Jonathan Swan, Donald Trump found himself struggling to explain his version of the facts. FarrahTomazin I don't think 'hard-hitting' and 'viral' mean what you think they mean. FarrahTomazin FarrahTomazin The moral of the story is, all you need to do is confront Trump with a few basic facts and his head explodes.

Trump says US coronavirus death toll 'is what it is' in defensive interviewPresident Donald Trump said the United States' staggering death toll from coronavirus 'is what it is' in a new interview. 9News What a complete joke he is Death is sadly a fact of life. All Trump can do is secure the borders, seek a vaccine, and provide any other support the states need. It is up to the governors and mayors to control/protect their population. It is unfortunate so many democratic leaders have failed their people.
