Work on hydroxychloroquine delayed promising studies of convalescent plasma, a potentially promising COVID-19 treatment, scientists say.

The trials have had a slow start, but they are, indeed, now underway.

Rice said the goal is to recruit about 500 patients, but the team will take a preliminary look at the first 100 participants to see how it's working. "I am very optimistic that this is going to work, but the only way we're going to find out is by doing a very careful clinical trial," said a lead investigator of the studies, Dr. Shmuel Shoham, an associate professor of medicine in Johns Hopkins' infectious disease division.

Give me a break.

12News Split the funding equally and have two potential options to help combat Covid-19. Why not utilize both?

NBC news quoting scientists again. Why they push against hydrochloride is puzzling. People or scientist on both sides of the issue talk the good and the bad. If there is good, which there have been positive results. Why force a narrative of bad? One life saved is good.

To late NBC, too many doctors have come and are coming forward with their stories. They're not afraid anymore. Democrats and media like you have demonized a life saving drug for political leverage against the President. Many have died because of you. DesperateDemocrats

Trump bad, says associate professor who contacted us to tell us that.

This is really proving that not only is it Fake news in USA but also Fake media Healthcare practice. The corruption is embedded so deeply in our institutions ,agencies ,schools and college they are crippling the nation on every level. Dumbing us down .its Nihilism !

Nation using HCQ as a prevention are 71% safer than the western globalist lead big pharmacy controlled nations

It works but will not make money! Now you want to sell plasma

Our government is run by incompetent people. This started over 5 months ago and Covid-19 is still not under control. Over 150,000 people have died. It didn't have to be this way.

'It's just go away, just go away ..things just go away' ..gonna wait til it goes away while people die.. will be 200K+ soon.. GTFOH

When will the idiocy end? We have ignorance making decisions instead of science.

Yeah because we all know what trump is up to at Walter Reed on Saturday 8/1 when he magically appeared with a bruise on his hand those white papers inbetween those newspapers. YOU WERENT FOOLING US

So... there aren't enough scientists on the planet to do both Wow... can you believe that there are actually people who believe the excrement that is rolled out of NBC? LMAO

Yellow Journalism

Hydroxy profited Trump. Plasma did not.

The wealthy ruling class is the only group who will ever have access to this treatment.

Aren't there medical experts and studies that sing the praises of Hydroxi? Both Nationally and Internationally? We can't do both? Oh that's right.. We are to busy playing polotics with Pandemic to do things that make sense. DT could cure Cancer and you'd complain.

Throwing billions upon billions at a vaccine is a waste too. A patch we wear that would identify Covid positivity would be a far better investment

If it delayed work on convalescent plasma why didn't it delay work on vaccines?

It is being used

Worthless PoS media.

All because Kodak was going to start production

dangerous precedent

'Doctors' opinions are a dime a dozen': Trump adviser Navarro again ignores experts, touts hydroxychloroquine'My view of this now is that doctors' opinions are a dime a dozen,' Navarro said. 'And you've got some doctors who say it doesn't work, you've got some doctors who say it does.' Doctors rarely agree on anything. That is why a second and third opinion is important before you decide which opinion to go with. I only trust the doctors that have the endorsement of the white house. Dime a dozen kind of like ass kissing useless Trump cabinet members!

I Am a Doctor Too, and I Say Birds, Lizards, and Dinosaurs Are the Same CreatureAs anyone who has ever stood within earshot of me for longer than three minutes knows, I am a doctor. Specifically speaking, my PhD gives me dominion over all literature, but more specifically, I am a doctor of books written within a certain time frame that contain elements of the gothic. However, like Drs Drew, Phil, and Ben Carson, I like to think that I am also a doctor of any subject on which I begin speaking. And thus, it is completely within my purview as a doctor of philosophy to assert that the differences between birds, dinosaurs, and lizards are so negligible that these animals are, essentially, the same terrifying creature. Thanks for a smile on a terrible day
