Seriously ill Covid-19 patients treated with the drug touted by Trump had a higher risk of dying in the hospital, a large hydroxychloroquine study finds

Lifeguards will have bandanas around their necks that they can pull up if they need to interact with someone, and their bags will contain personal protective equipment like masks, gowns, and gloves, according to Kanitra. “We’re not trying to arrest people if they do not remain separate. We just give them the information, and by and large, they're compliant,” Henry said.“No one is required or even requested that they wear masks on the beach. We do believe that it is the safest place for people to be — is outside. But it is advisable, but we're not requesting people to wear masks.

EmrataPhanPaige You know what, yes, all Liberals should not take Hydroxychloroquine, keep listening to CNN

kumua_o Sorry I have no sympathy for any one who listens to trump!

AND they were seriously ill, right? It should be the duty of media to report the entire scope of correct information; otherwise, it is nothing but mere sensationalism...

The highest among those fatality numbers would likely be Trump supporters (ie, those having folllowed his lead)... so, what’s the downside?

Please tell doctors to keep taking him meds

Then why did Cuomo take it. Hypocrites

Fake news!

Here's the problem with the study, the people getting that drug at this point are getting it becuase nothing else has worked. They are dying anyway and thia is being used as a hail Mary. Of course the mortality rate is higher. The study show no direct causality.

Cause is a preventive drug with 10years of known safety, so people are not dying because they are given HCQ they are dying cause you are not giving it as preventive, do gold std trial for prevention with zinc, you will see solid results

CNN I feel sorry for the people that read this, get infuriated and somehow feel it is sane to blame Trump. Got to hand it to you guys though. You have mastered the mind game.

Maybe because it was given to the sickest of patients that didn't have much of a chance for survival as it was?

I wish the media cared as much about our precious unborn babies as they do Covid patients!!!

I would prefer if CNN goes about doing more of pure journalism than anti Trump journalism.

Yeah ok👍🏼

Maybe Trump should double his dose

Fake News

Fake News!

I have herbal cure in Nigeria,come n have a clinical trial.

just stick with The Apprentice will you Trump?

Whats the point of this test anyway? Earlier studies showed this med might only help in early stage covid. Why test latestage on big scale? What about an earlystage big test? What about the good test results from India?

We got covid organics here, so we don't need another fake news from u guys.

And this works

realDonaldTrump was recommended hydroxychloroquine and given the Rx by his personal physician, Dr. Theodor G. Morell....

Please don't discredit this drug, it is a drug people take daily for many other reasons. Its the drug our military troops take to prevent malaria going overseas. Maybe it's not the drug for COVID-19, but there are alot of people using it. All drugs have side effects.

So, how does Trump get arrested? He should be have some responsibility for touting this to his supporters. They are human beings, regardless if we disagree with their beliefs.

What part of prophylactic don't people get

NouraMadouh لقد أتى بالعيد( جاب العيد) ... يارب يترجموها له

FortuneThembo realDonaldTrump caused the deaths of many Americans by his slow response to the pandemic and now he is gonna give sick Americans poisonous medication. This a president from hell chosen by racist Americans.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! stop scaring me.

Oh cmon guys, I thought you almost found your purpose, 'expose and report the truth' No still pumping it out for your cause.

HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE? Automatic Negative Thought. 💊💉

How are these 'large' studies all getting done so quickly?

WOW SEE IT KILLING PEOPLE SAD.

He is only promoting the use. The benefits are higher share price, more attention by already nightmared people and perhaps thinking that it may help him win November 20!

Remember the words 'seriously ill'! Just like CNN's reporting is! Fake news folks.

Then don't use it on the seriously ill? 99% of people bleeding to death find bandaids to be useless.

I dont believe you

Define seriously ill! Near death? Then Y did they wait so long to give patients the drug? Near death, probably nothing would help them. Is this the science we r relying on?

This circuis is done played out, the clowns of the government have lost there minds and hearts. The politicians, and the media is the root of evil for America. They supposed to work for ((We the People)) ,but they dont care. They only care about, money, power, greed and control

tucsondeadhead1 Eighty-eight percent of seriously ill Covid-19 patients placed on ventilators in NYC did not leave the hospital. Are you asking me to be hysterical about the off-label use of the malaria drug hydroxychloroquine?

CNN Eeeeeeeeeeeeeek

FAKE NEWS!

Don’t believe a word you say

Its like tamiflu the anti viral you take for influenza has to be taken in the first 48 hours to be effective. Hydroxychloroquine is similar. Although I know someone 64/heart issues failing fast given the hydroxy/zinc/zpac was out of hospital better in 2 days.

CDC now downplays chances of getting virus from groceries or items, says Coronavirus ‘does not spread easily’ except for close contact with infected patients | Just The News

He must have purchased lots of stock in the pharmaceutical company that makes this drug... but hey! Trump & Co. making $$ off his position is nothing new

I'm not sure how this is still news... other 'less developed countries' canceled their studies because of heart related side effects...

Stupid fake news, I don't understand people sometimes and I realize I might not ever! Covid-19 is about over and there were just as many cases and deaths as the common flu. Just remember, CNN is democratic news.

False!

WHAT IS THE NEW PILL THAT WILL REPLACE VIAGRA!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

This is false

Ita been in use since the 1930s but now is suddenly dangerous.

And even though anyone who takes it on his advice is beyond stupid, every one of those deaths will be on his hands.

Dump trump 🤥😳😜💩

Understand the medications and drug theories. Drug discovery and drug development are complex and expensive endeavors undertaken by pharmaceutical companies, academic scientists, and governments.

What’s amazing is all these drug commercials that we are bombarded with, warn you that it can cause cancer, TB, suicidal thoughts, body parts falling off etc. but that’s ok. But one that could be a last chance drug taken for ten days is banned.

Hydroxychloroquine has to be given EARLY on not when they are in hospital and need oxygen. Why not do a study and give this drug when symptoms first start Oh maybe because it works!!!

Trump is not taking this drug...just another lie. No doctor would recommend this drug to a 75 year old, obese person. Sadly he’s risking other people lives that are stupid another to believe him! 🤦‍♂️

Hmm guess that would have nothing to do with their age and co-morbidity factors too 🙄

I do not trust the drug in the first place.

You can't be a COVID casualty if you die of a drug overdose first

Also keep listening to the twitter people here who know what is good for you and what isn’t. That is a good bet to stay healthy and safe. 😉

Wow. Shocking a non scientist or doctor prescribes medicine for some illness like a pandemic and people have terrible reaction to it. This is unbelievable. 😮

Fake news

'Seriously ill' would be the key sentence here.

Fingers crossed.

Follow the money. Why did Trump, Guilliani, & Fox News Push this so hard. Why did Cohen as Trump’s personal lawyer and RNC deputy finance chair get 1.2 million from Novartis? Why misleading press releases from Novartis?

Nothing in your Twitter feed about what Biden said last night?

Fake news

Shut up with this bullshit!

Darwin would be proud.

Not again...realDonaldTrump is NOT a medical doctor. If those professionals use his advice they must be charged of murder. Period 🤯

That has NOT been proven. Perhaps it was the AMOUNT of the drug they took. hydroxychloroquine has been used uneventfully for YEARS to successfully treat malaria in many countries. Obviously reporters are against Trump, not the drug! ANY drug, improperly taken, can be harmful.

The question is to trace realDonaldTrump business interests in this drug, related family shareholdings of this company & any inter-connected interests that Trump may, or would have profited from thru his aggressive promotion of this drug. FollowTheMoney TrumpTaxReturns

Of course they did , because it’s a cheap drug that’s 0.60 cents to make rather than 1000$ per pill Remdesivir that your satanic government is trying to push, 1000’s of people have recovered from this drug and many doctors can contest but your job cnn is to fear monger

Bs

Maybe he is a killer

Who’s surprised?

Wow those doctors should stop listening to trump! Guess they didn’t use their medical degrees to make decisions.

Drug needs to be used before patients are seriously ill 🙄 This is being set up to fail.

Lies

As much as I disagree with Trump's style of leadership, language, lies, and lack of compassion for people, I do pray that his foolish decision to take this drug will not have any negative health problems for him. I don't dislike the man, just his poor leadership.

Says radio Moscow

Lies.

Again total BS. This « drug » has worked for many patients but didn’t for others, that’s how it works with medication. Doctors tried other meds too, but not all worked. The latest they tried were blood thinners and for many patients they had great results!

Yeah. But. But. Trump's Mar-a-Lago friend says it's a cure AND a vaccine!

Joe Biden just said black people can’t think for themselves.

Dieing folk do die! Bad Health Choices, a lifetime of them. Must take Zinc with this! Dah!

Its preventative medicine you dumbfucks

🤫don’t tell realDonaldTrump

Partial news to designed to mislead is the way cnn works. Why would anyone at all, though fewer do,than years ago, listen to CNN? At what stage were these people given the drug? Was it before hospital? Was it a last ditch effort? How many others took it and were cured?

Well, if you're seriously ill person it worth of try

Does realDonaldTrump have financial interest in hydroxychloriquine?

CNN once again fabricates a narrative. So, if a late-stage cancer has COVID and is treated with hydroxycholorquine and they die in a car wreck CNN will NOW CLAIM it was due to heart arrhythmia caused by hydroxcholorquine-THANKS TRUMP for KILLING PEOPLE! CNN SUCKS! RealJamesWoods

It’s false to report that the drug has no benefits. That’s why CNN is called “ fake media.” To know the truth, use other sources. THE TRUTH HAS NO AGENDA!

jairbolsonaro

Fake news. Way to go CNN

If the drug is SO BAD if you get Covid you aren't forced to take it libs. For everyone else with a brain, we will take what we choose. Good luck with that 😁

I don't understand why CNN keeps stressing the use of Hydroxychloroquine in connection with the seriously ill. It was my understanding it was used in Asia in early stages, not late stages. Why isn't the medicine studied for what it worked for in Asia?

So they did have something to lose, THEIR LIFE😡

This is what happens when you take medical advice from a desperate psycho who only cares about getting re-elected to avoid the lawsuits that are waiting for him. TrumpLiedPeopleDied

Too bad most do not read the actual article. CNN is a joke.

Trump no longer takes hydroxichloroquine. End of story.

Yeah yeah cnn you fake news network , that’s why they use it for lupus , arthritis and other immune issues !

CNN - nobody listens to what you say

You were trying to find a short cut to killing the covid19. That is putting people at risk. Really not helping public trust in a cure

FakeNewsCNN

I wish the president would start wearing a mask so fake news would be against wearing masks. (Fake news is against anything President is for) If masks worked prisoners would have been given masks instead of being released

This article has been sponsored by, BigPharma . Remember, you can’t leave your house until a vaccine is ready.

Fake news lottery doctors have said that the drug is the best way to prevent the virus right now who am I gonna trust about medical advise a doctor or a fake news company

this study is bs considering all the other studies showing that taking it early with zinc works. You are a garbage network.

POTUS never 'touted' the drug, you're full of shit. It's meant to be a prophylaxis under the direction of a doctor, not an end-stage miracle drug. It's hard to take anything you say seriously when everything is so factually flawed.

There is so much about this study that screams junk science. I don't even know where to start with how bad this study is.

If hydroxychloroquine is Sooo dangerous, why is it a prescribed medicine ? Because the risk in taking it does not exceed the benefits. 99 % of all medications come with a warning. Did any of the patients in this 'Cnn study ' have other underlining or severe health issues ?

Woman in St Paul died at 100 YO. Reason? covid. Seriously people?

How many times will they have to say it before he understands... the drug is not for everyone none of them are.

False reporting

Same old fake news let me guess its a dem study. Cnn might want to let its viewers know that its moron Chris Cuomo took something similar that is very dangerous. Also since we have to report for fake news now it's been approved many years ago. Once again misleading

'Seriously ill' = had no chance, regardless.

luzdelanoche75 And at baseline, 20% of non-survivals where at SPO294%, only 8% in the survival group. Huge bias!!!

cnn has less credibility than Trump. I don't believe anything that comes out of either of your mouths.
