The Food and Drug Administration on Sunday issued an emergency use authorization for hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine, decades-old malaria drugs championed by President Donald Trump for coronavirus treatment despite scant evidence.
"Let's see how it works," Trump said at a press briefing on Sunday, referencing New York state's efforts. "It may. It may not."
Politico spin...'scant evidence'...'lack of data', yet they fail to report New York doctor's positive results. 'On Saturday Dr. Vladimir Zelenko reported that he has now successfully treated 699 COVID-19 patients in NY for the coronavirus.'
What is Trump, Giuliani and DrOz's cut of the sales?
For fk sake try it. Other countries are too.
Someone is making money. You can be sure of that. New use. New patent?
“despite scant evidence!!?” What about Dr. Vladimir Zelenko, a board certified practitioner in NY who has now treated 699 COVID-19 patients with 100% success! Shortness of breath resolved in 4-6 hr. Clearly this is FakeNews AdamMilstein LouDobbs worldnetdaily
HE IS JUST TRYING TO KILL AMERICANS QUICK
Yes, let's all cater to Mad King Trump. Wonder how much stock he and his family members bought in the company? 🤧🤒🤢🤑🤡
FDA has lost its credibility under trump.
I suppose 'decades-old' is technically correct, but the parent compound has been used for malaria for CENTURIES, not decades. Politico has never demonstrated the ability to to perform anything above 2nd grade level research on a subject.
Terrible reporting by . MULTIPLE STUDIES confirmed very positive results of the use of the drug.
This is a pandemic, there are people being told to do things. There are snake oil salesmen out there . do not fall prey to anything but that which is proven. All these antecdotes say certain patients could be the fittest person that would have bounced back earlier anyway.
That’s Planquil(tm) drink tonic water with quinine if you believe this
Drink Tonic water with Quinine
Despite scant evidence that it works. Why doesn't the media trash the French? They been using it for a while. How about the cases in the US where it's worked? The media only lives to hate Trump and they're failing or flailing miserably.
Then any deaths that occur as a result of their action should be on the FDA’s hands and the presidents; at least the FDA should know better!
From 2005. Why do you want to mislead and deceive the American public?
Trump: 'Try Hydroxychorloquine.' Media: 'LIsten to the Experts!' FDA: 'Approved.' Media: 'Not THOSE experts!'
AdamMilstein Democrats are vile, evil monsters. One can almost not believe what they are reading. Democrats saying, 'No! Don't use that drug because X.' Reason boils down to.. See above.
Republicans sabotage government then tell their voters that government is bad because it doesn’t work for the people. When in reality, THEY don’t work for the people.
WAITING FOR THE MEDIA TO APOLOGIZE!
Most of these are paid Trumper trolls Ask who is behind this.. All LIES To profit from death☠☠☠
DESPITE SCANT EVIDENCE.....DID YOU HEAR THAT FOLKS......DR. DONALD J TRUMP HAS BEEN PRESCRIBING THIS TO HIS PATIENTS.....YOU GET IT.....IT CAN'T BE GOOD....TRUMP IS CHAMPIONING IT.......WHAT FAKE NEWS CRAP.....WAKE UP AMERICA....STOP LISTENING TO POLITICO...CNN AND NBC CRAP
Thank God!
Why hasn’t somebody at least put all these anecdotal studies into a meta analysis? If they have please share.
Love your enthusiasm reporting about a possible life saving drug being approved by the FDA. I am sure that if the FDA had any doubt about this drug, they would not have approved it. Your political bias is barely noticeable.
Please define “scant”. Because the evidence keeps mounting and your disinformation campaign is killing people.
NvrRyan 😂 'Scant evidence,' lol. Is this really the hill you want to die on?
Scant ? You have nothing! To give , but they want to try something !! So you scant stand our president doing something to try to help Americans! Politico , are Democratic politicians just being complete assholes on everything this president does !
FOOL_NELSON 😂😂😂😂😂 POTTYCO Happy Easter 🐣
POTUS TrumpLiesAboutCoronavirus VoteBlueToEndThisNightmare
FOOL_NELSON There is a lot more than scant evidence. Quit drinking the koolaid and do some research!
The TDS is strong with some people. If you have TDS, just wear a bracelet or something letting the Dr you are declining the TrumpPills
He does realize the result could be worse than just not working? I’m all for studies but having physicians Willy billy doing this is just not a good idea. Are they going to get consent from people and any risks explained?
At this point, you should stop saying “despite scant evidence” and admit it’s “amidst growing evidence.”
FOOL_NELSON If a patient doesn't want to try a drug, they can refuse it. Why are all the liberal media outlets demonizing the malaria drug because Trump mentioned it it just ridiculous!! 💁🏻♂️ more for really sick folks without TDS I guess.
Are they that crazy.
It was in use anyway More important ramp up prod in case & do IMMEDIATE large scale test w min dosing after a few days monitoring side effects add another 1000 at higher dosing etc 30000 volunteers ready in NYC This should take 24 hrs to setup 1st tentative results in 1 wk
As long as it doesn’t hurt people! That said! Gin & tonics for everyone!
‘Scant Evidence’ partisan hack
You fuckwits would rather push a novel vaccine with no evidence to sell to everyone than an age old generic with a 100% cure rate. Everyone please do your own research don’t just read the fake news headlines!!!
JustinSayfie Someone please tell GovWhitmer!
I'm really starting to believe that Democrat supporters like want this to drag out to affect the election. The country, the economy and the people be damned
He’s now hijacked the FDA. This science denier is currently polluting the water the air the National Parks and killing people so he can stay out of jail.
France Officially Sanctions Drug After 78 Of 80 Patients Recover From COVID-19 Within Five Days
News Alert: Dr. Vladimir Zelenko, a board-certified family practitioner in NY, has now treated 699 Covid-19 patients with 100% success using Hydroxychloroquine Sulfate, Zinc and Z-Pak. All symptoms of shortness of breath resolved within 4-6 hr
Snake oil salesman. Anything for a buck. Disgraceful!
look for people succumbing to unapproved pharmaceutical protocols over thf next month, caused by dissemination of disinformation. trust, only, information disseminated by state & local governments, and your primary care physician.
If they are doing REAL trials & it’s the last resort for the patients they are experimenting on, try it. But please don’t take the drug away from people who’s illnesses are currently being managed. You can throw them into flares or make them sicker.
and what happened to this treatment? I heard about this 2-3 weeks ago.
what happened to this?
I feel sorry for lupus patients who can't get it. 😪
NO SAY NO! PPL
You’re lying again. There’s plenty of proof it’s helping. Your hatred is shining through once again.
Why are they caving to Trump's whims?
Scant evidence. And you wonder why we loathe you.
manipulated, not following proper practises, uncontrolled, PR... ppl just jump on it because the disease is so severe. Somebody has researched the 'study' in detail:
Do your part lockdown yourself for 14 day 1. No subway trains 2. No buses 3. No taxis 4. No airports 5. Work from home 7. Curfew 8pm-5am Only essential food markets & pharmacy's remain open to enter temperature check & face mask required Number Of Deaths Depend On You.
Scant evidence? S Korea France many doctors in NY say 100% patients don’t die and recover quicker. Doctors in NY taking the drug as a prophylactic. If I was covid-19 positive I would demand to be put on these drugs. What is politico trying to say?
hospitals are using under compassionate use guidelines and seeing results.
fakenews again. No 'scant evidence'. It works. Deal with it. We all understand that you liberal nazis want to prolong American suffering as long as possible. Go get your coloring book and your juice box...the adults will handle this.
Scant evidence......f-ck you Politidouches.
Maybe cnn would like to know why the Nevada and Michigan governor banned it's use.
I think there's a bit more evidence than you're aware of.
So you'd rather wait a year for a fully tested drug? The decision to try an existing med was made & controlled by experts not Trump MSM
WTAF?
Big mistake But just how rich is That going to make the pharmaceutical industry Shame on you
AdamMilstein Why democrats want people die? To damage Trump?
How bout repirtvon the evidence that is out there in this? Prove your headline.
Scant Tons of evidence. Fake news strikes again
Those drugs are saving lives in the here and now. Too bad your TDS blinds you from that fact.
Good
Sooo, multiple peer reviewed studies and hundreds of successful clinical applications count as ‘scant’. I guess you prefer more people dying so you can blame it on Trump. You are disgusting...
FYI, this character was the villain in CONTAGION.
every medical equipment maker and pharma company spending millions to comply with FDA rules should sue for compensation.
LOL 'despite scant evidence'.
Shameful, US_FDA
Trump's elixir is working
