The World Health Organization has halted a trial of the anti-malaria drug Hydroxychloroquine - the drug touted by US President realDonaldTrump to treat coronavirus - despite there being no safety issues reported within the trial.

The World Health Organization has halted a trial of the anti-malaria drug Hydroxychloroquine - the drug touted by US President Donald Trump to treat coronavirus - despite there being no safety issues reported within the trial. WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said the decision to suspend the trial was out of an abundance of caution.

"The Executive Group has implemented a temporary pause of the hydroxychloroquine arm within the solidarity trial while the safety data is reviewed by the Data Safety Monitoring Board," Mr Ghebreyesus said. "The other arms of the trial are continuing." President Trump endorsed the drug and said he was taking it himself to protect against COVID-19. Image: AP

realDonaldTrump WHO lied people died!

realDonaldTrump Nobody can trust anything the WHO do at this point in time

realDonaldTrump Again with the BS reporting. Trump takes it lol

realDonaldTrump Of course! Need something that generates more profit & control for a select few.

realDonaldTrump No safety issues? fakenews auspol

Ec11619306 realDonaldTrump Oh really

Ec11619306 realDonaldTrump Oh really it was halted because WHO ang Gates foundation do not want the people to learn that this effective cheap medication works They want Democrats back in power so they can continue to decieve for huge finacial gains keeping Americans in fear hoping for mail in ellections

realDonaldTrump WHO is infiltrated with CCP PUPPETS, hence contradicting trump 🤔 hmmm

MettaBhavana1 realDonaldTrump Let's hope Trumpy keeps taking it...if he actually is.

realDonaldTrump Trials are often halted because of lack of efficacy or because patients receiving the trial drug are doing worse than the established therapy (or the placebo) not necessarily because of 'problems'.

realDonaldTrump Tick Tock Tedros. Less than 30 days.

realDonaldTrump Oh but isn't Australia's health system trialling it on health workers!?!

realDonaldTrump china

realDonaldTrump WHO the organisation that told the world that Covid19 could not be transmitted person to person ? Yea Right !

realDonaldTrump The corrupt WHO would be pushing a vaccine of course - on behalf of their corrupt Billionaire mates !

realDonaldTrump Great to see truth and intelligence, being placed to the forefront of lies and stupidity!!

realDonaldTrump Sadly who trusts the WHO anymore, they have been politicised and their reputation has been damaged.

realDonaldTrump It is because the treatment is TOO successful. Meaning they won't be able to force their VACCINES onto the WORLD.

realDonaldTrump WHOLiedPeopleDied

realDonaldTrump There’s no money in HCQ combinations!

realDonaldTrump Pandering to China Again as Expected

realDonaldTrump Imagine how much coin big pharma would lose if theres already a drug that exists that had been shown to work. Of course WHO is denouncing hydroxychloroquine. Billions of $$ at stake here

realDonaldTrump They want the pandemic(s) to take hold.

realDonaldTrump Fauci Approved Chloroquine, Hydroxychloroquine 15 Years Ago to Cure Coronaviruses

realDonaldTrump WHO hate Trump that’s why.

realDonaldTrump WHO forces and endorses the sickness industry - harvesting money, lives and energy for their gain, not for wellness.

realDonaldTrump Under instruction from Bill Gates? Big pharma stand to lose $millions if the virus treated by natural remedy

realDonaldTrump The WHO is currently unfairly influenced by the Chinese government... BlameChina COVID19 Coronavirus

realDonaldTrump Yes it does accelerate the mortality rate of very ill Covid19 patients so don't use it on them. Maybe it has benefits for people who test positive but are not sick. A rushed vaccine could be far more dangerous .

realDonaldTrump More reason WHO need be defunded until those corrupts running it are gone

realDonaldTrump

realDonaldTrump If someone wants to be an independent jounalist. Have a look at ALL the trials 2005 up until Donald Trump started promoting it and now after. 100% Turnaround. Here is one in early March. It is one of the last positive studies before the MSM started attacking the drug.

realDonaldTrump Obviously, the CCP doesn't manufacture Hydroxychloroquine given the WHO statement.

realDonaldTrump Most journalists these days don't speak the Enlish language properly.

realDonaldTrump realDonaldTrump wait ailment were you prescribed Hydroxychloroquine for?

realDonaldTrump Are you seeing the true colours of the WHO yet? Exit the WHO, defund them completely. Thorough Audit & Investigation of the WHO is required.

realDonaldTrump Multiple studies proving hydroxychloroquine and zinc success. Letter and link provided by AAPS letter directed to gov Ducey.

realDonaldTrump There's no money in it for Big Pharma that's why. It's an old drug that has many purposes.

realDonaldTrump I hope the media is as critical of the vaccine as they are with these potential treatments that already are on the shelf. You know the one that’s being rushed with no long term safety studies planned. I realise there’s a lot more profit in a vaccine than there would be for a cure

realDonaldTrump It's a temporary pause, by the way. Learn journalism, please.

realDonaldTrump Is it 'Sky New Australia' Or 'Trump's fart trumpet USA'?

realDonaldTrump lol. 'within the trial.'

realDonaldTrump Clearly a manipulation of the WHO by China to kill more foreigners and be anti-Trump. When will it end, all this enemy of Trump activity? O temporal, O mores!

realDonaldTrump The Lancet published, last week, a review of nearly 100,000 patients confirming that hydroxychloroquine increases the mortality rate of the virus

realDonaldTrump Although we do have proof that it's at least correlated with a significantly higher mortality rate if taken immediately after hospitalization without any real benefits at all.

WHO pauses trial of hydroxychloroquine in COVID-19 patients due to safety concernsThe World Health Organisation has suspended testing the malaria drug hydroxychloroquine in COVID-19 patients due to safety concerns.

Australia’s reduced emissions ‘ruining ABC’s fear narrative’ | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Chris Kenny says the deadly coronavirus pandemic has been “an unwanted interruption” to the ABC’s “normal fear-mongering, alarmism and evangelism on global warming”. \n\nMr Kenny said following the bad bushfire season, the ABC was using the disasters which were observed “to ramp up its climate change campaigning”. \n\nHowever, this was “rudely interrupted” by the breaking of the drought and the COVID-19 health crisis. \n\nMr Kenny referenced a recent Four Corners report which had “former politicians and leading public servants lamenting the demise of a carbon price, and emissions trading scheme, a carbon tax .... whatever you want to call it”. \n\nHe said the program’s main focus was “really about climate policy” but omitted “some crucial facts”. \n\nHe said the program “didn't want to mention that we're actually reducing emissions (as) that would ruin the narrative”. \n\nMr Kenny said “the big lie” being spruiked, “that abolishing our carbon tax has somehow hurt us with a hotter climate is just tosh, it is not supported by facts, by science, by rational argument, or by reality”. \n\nImage: Getty Where is the investment in FOSSIL FUELS ? KENNY,NONE,ALL IN RENEWABLES.MORE FAKE NEWS FROM SKY Sky News host Chris Kenny says the deadly coronavirus pandemic has been “an unwanted interruption” to Sky New’s “normal fear-mongering, alarmism and evangelism on the ABC”. Kenny’s a national embarrassment. And it’s so good to watch his ordinary journalism skewered on Media Watch.

Australia 'risking US relationship' over 'Victoria's secretive agreement with China' | Sky News AustraliaThe Australian's Dennis Shanahan says Victoria's government has 'effectively signed a secretive agreement with a foreign government' which has all sorts of potential implications 'for national security and international relations'. \n\nVictoria has confirmed it will push ahead with its plan to sign up to China’s US$1.4 trillion infrastructure program.\n\nThe Belt and Road Initiative is designed to link China with Asia, Europe and Africa via a massive infrastructure investment that will see the widespread construction of railways, motorways and ports.\n\nChina claims the deal will be mutually beneficial, but the federal government has criticised Victoria for signing up for the deal citing possible security implications.\n\nMr Shanahan said the 'message was very clear from the US' following recent comments made by US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo discussing the issue with Sky News. \n\nUS Secretary of State Mike Pompeo issued a stern warning over Victoria’s Belt and Road deal with China, telling Sky News the US will “simply disconnect” from Australia if it affects America's telecommunications. \n\nMr Pompeo said he wasn’t aware of the specific details of the agreement but warned the US “will not take any risks”. \n\n“We will not take any risks to our telecommunications infrastructure, any risk to the national security elements of what we need to do with our Five Eyes partners,” he said.\n\n'The message is there for Victoria and for the rest of Australia,' Mr Shanahan said. \n\nImage: AP \n\n JoeDMillard Who the hell does Andrew's think he is?
