The decision was made after an observational study was published in the medical journal The Lancet on Friday, which described how seriously ill Covid-19 patients who were treated with hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine were more likely to die.

really, been on the market for years. Helps people with arthritus and RA. This is bad, fake journalisom again. banCNN

'Claim to have captured data from over 60,000 hospitalizations at over 550 hospitals in North America by April 13th concerns me, given there were approx. 60,000 COVID-19 hospitalizations total from approximately 6,000 hospitals across all of the United States through April 13th'.

Many of those safety concerns came from this study...which is now being questioned due to serious inconsistencies and glaring errors. Conflated numbers not consistent with available data. Sounds like something the CDC would do.

Another reason y we need 2 stop funding who.. They even have trump derrangement syndrome.

Bullshit. The drug has been around since the 50's with no safety issues.

WHO - an incompetent bunch of idiots... hope they get replaced with something real; Covid-19 showed their irrelevance and lack of any understanding of the world, economy, physical and mental health, civil liberty and worst of it all they acted as advisors... without the capacity

Fake news

I really dont like WHO .. i dont see them helping but destructive.. sorry to say buts thats what i feel and see.🤦🏻‍♀️😏

BS FAKE NEWS ALERT!!! HCQ IS TOTALLY SAFE AND YOU ARE FULL OF IT!!!

WHO halts studying hydroxychloroquine as a treatment for covid-19 because it works!

Not news. We know it’s successful for early treatment. This studied its use later when Covid was more advancedl. “The Lancet on Friday, which described how seriously ill Covid-19 patients who were treated with hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine were more likely to die.”

But Trump knows more than the scientists.

Cuz China told it to!

So the WHO is still showing preference the china

Where is the concern about this drug when taking it for malaria, lupus, etc?

Who cares. If WHO would’ve of done their job then people wouldn’t have died.

What a joke who is

WHO lost all credibility.

So will WHO be responsible for the covid deaths?

These clearly shows that WHO has been hijacked by the deep state and they are coupable in the many death around the world. Covid-19 was a plandemic to sell their own vaccines!Why are they pushing for their own vaccines when there is a remedy to treat?

Surprised WHO hasn’t recommended licking doorknobs as a preventative.

That's BS. Took Placquenal for years with no concerns

What do you bet the president will keep taking it anyways

This drug is cheap and safe. The media hysteria around this is pathetic. The WHO has no credibility. None.

Corona virus is a novel virus. The trump drug does not cure a novel virus. It can help people with lupus and RA which are autoimmune disorders. If you do not understand that and still think your president is smarter than a 5th grader, then keep drinking the koolaide. Morons!

Fake news

They dont want that, they want to push their own vaccines

This freaking crazy. This drug is being used to treat many diseases. Y'all are just a liberal fake news channel

Well I hope President Trump is going to be ok after taking chloroquine for week,s. I may not agree with President Trump,s politics. That doesn't mean I don't care about our President.

This WHO? -who is responsible for 1000’s of US deaths based on what they were saying in Jan?

Are they taking it off the shelves for all the diseases? Must really lead to death? Hmm? Interesting

Funny because we temporarily stopped funding the WHO because they’ve become a political hack group.

The WHO also said the virus couldn’t be transmitted between humans. So who gives a shit what those losers say or do.

You really don’t think that at .10 a pill that maybe that might create negative reports about a 50 year old pill. Not from The Who but our top doctors, not the ones who treat patients but the patent pushers. 500-1000 a pill. No money in old drugs.

Please. 50 years old. 40000 dose’s a day at va. Yea,ok. Sounds like pay back to me for getting their funds cut.

WHO placing politics before treatment

Xi’s lapdog

Seriously!?

Trump said that he buyed lots hydroxychloroquine, now when he claims or suposly using it, it's his advertising to sell it or will be stuck with it

Etoro

WHO cann't give any proper information.

So.

How ignorant. They want to kill people because Trump is taking the drug. Note that every study that says chloroquine is bad did not include chloroquine and zinc. Chloroquine is only effective when taken with zinc. That is the science.

They halt it because its cheaper compared to remdesivir. Business is booming.

Read! Oh you don’t read POTUS

What a joke.

Fake news. WHO is a Chinese tool

But like, it’s been taken by millions for 65 years..odd.

WHO is a Fraud!!!

He never took the drug.

Who believes anything that comes from WHO at this point

'Safety concerns'

Lol, for 60 years this drug has had no safety concerns, then Trump starts promoting it & suddenly it has!! The WHO has lost all credibility, they’re nothing but a joke now!!

1948-2020: WHO: Hydroxychloroquine is an essential safe medicine. Jaunuary 2020: Study: cheap Hydroxychloroquine and expensive Remdesivir kills the (covid-19) coronavirus. May 2020: WHO and media: Hydroxychloroquine is toxic and can kill you.

How about OxyContin?! Idiots...

That's a lot of ,,,,,,,,,,,

WHO, still doing what China tells them to do.

WHO is bull shit anyways, they work for China, the front line workers in France and Spain take it with no problems.

LOL🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡The decision was made after an OBSERVATIONAL study was published in the medical journal The Lancet on Friday, which described how SERIOUSLY ILL Covid-19 patients who were treated with hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine were MORE LIKELY to die.

More like it doesn't fit the liberal narrative

Oh My God If it's true that there are safety concerns regarding Codiv19 treatment using hydroxychloroquine then CNN I the wrong media for information Because the People will not believe it

Lol...the WHO....this isn't politically driven.

Nope. They stopped because it’s working. FakeNewsCNN FakeNewsMedia

More like because it actually worked...

You mean the same drug that's on the WHO List of Essential Medicines, the safest and most effective medicines needed in a health system?

“The World Health Organization” is not the CDC. Trials in the US will continue.

So it’s too safe to use. Got it!

Holding the world to ransom keep an eye on China no one wants to be part of that government.

WHO FRAUDS AND PEDOS

Your own EMPLOYEES have taken it - now what will they do?

'temporarily'

😂😂😂

Because it works!

You know that trump never took one of pills in his life , if he did , he'd lie about it .

Oh COME ON. Do you really think we are THAT stupid This is only because Trump said he was taking it. I thought these Doctors were smart. This is such a dumb move and anyone can see what they are doing

A leading headline from CNN. Not misleading, good breaking story.

What’s going to happen to all of the Hydroxychloroquine in the US national stockpile? CNNnewsroom

wavybrownhair There's no way that fat slob of a president of ours, took that medicine. That porker would have had a massive coronary, and died. He lied about taking it, like he does everything else.

W H O IS WORTHLESS 😤😡😠

Donald Trump should volunteer to be a lab rat since he so proudly claims he takes it on the regular - but you know, he has to be present for the study with doctors which he prob would say he’d “do on his own accordance” and to just “trust his test is true”

But but but ... the clown said “what do you have to lose?”!!!

Of a drug that has been PRESCRIBED by knowledgeable doctors for 60 yrs

“Safety concerns”

Bullshit

If you want to know the truth about cholorquine and hydroxychloroquine, read anything written about it prior to February 2020. But go do it now before sixty years of data gets memory holed because “orange man bad” and the powers that be can’t let him win a point.

Hundreds of millions of doses. Over decades. FDA approved, proven effective when applied properly as prophylaxis or in the early stages of infection... and most of all CHEAP and READILY AVAILABLE. But denigrated and shelved because of hate. Maybe Susan can fight this?

Why would they have to look at that study when they had their own study going on obviously no side effects and all this time came up in their own story it is absolute bullshit wake up people😏

Is it 'cause WHO knows the cure?

W.H.O. can’t figure how to walknand chee gum at the same time.

WHO has zero credibility

CNN a crap of a media, not worth watching nor listening... it's pathetic that they all lack good brains for telling and defending the truth... Ruled by money, greed and lies

AlstonCeleste Trump has advised them that injection of this would do better over time..no trump is no doctor nor a president who can lead by example.

It a cheap drug that has the potential of working. This has been on the market for years as a treatment for Lupus and Arthritis with very minimal side effects. This is just a political statement

They need Chinese approval

Why was it ok for SARS? And furthermore why are countries in India, Asia and the Middle East using them. They have some of the lowest mortality rates?

Hydrochloroquine doesn't treat or cure coronavirus.

Whos the WHO

Keep trying CNN

But y’all wanna push a vaccine that hasn’t been tested clowns

What a joke. Total political move

My friend is alive today thanks to God and hydroxy so WHO and the Dems can hang...

It's been prescribed by hundreds of doctors for many many years. But NOW it's a problem. Gtfoh.

Take it off the market immediately if it is so dangerous. You'd think the danger would have reared its head some time in the 50 years. But now that it has, end production now.

If taken before serious symptoms start, this drug has a good track record. Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson, the cruise ship ppl and even Cuomo, took this drug. In the 65yrs of use, you would have thought these dangers would have popped up sooner. It’s not a Hail Mary cure.

That must mean it works! Any news spewing out from the WHO is usually opposite of the truth.

No CNN they stopped to review the data temporarily!

so, we're still handing them out though?

My grandma took 1 dose of this after testing positive and was then admitted to the hospital with elevated heart rate. She then suffered a mild stroke and this past week we lost her. Don’t try and pander you conspiracy theories it’s an insult to those who have died

CNN fake news

And we should listen to WHO because

the US should have allow Trump to kill that person he wanted to kill in 5th avenue in exchange for not allowing him to kill 100,000 by indifference.

BREAKING: WHO says the China Virus is not transmitted from human to human. 🤦‍♀️

Haha because they realized the same thing rational scientists did along time ago... it actually works. They can’t publish something that would discredit their own response. WakeUpAmerica LiberalismIsTheRealPandemic

I am old enough to remember the WHO tweet on Jan 16, 'Preliminary investigations conducted by the Chinese authorities have found no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission of the novel coronavirus' you mean, THEY are halting the studies? WHOs on first?

Likely as credible as when they said there was no human to human transmission of Covid19. Truth is likely the exact opposite but isn’t what China wants known.

WHO is an arm of the CCP and doesn't want anyone to know the Truth and is a fear-mongering network!!!! FlattenTheFear

Trump will be hella mad.

Who useless

No they stopped and put this news out because Trump supports it.

the safe limit is 200mg/day, the trumpers give 750mg/day to the victims

stuwhitney You meant to say the WHO partnered with Big Pharma suspends a drug users for decades.

WHO. 😂

They’re just bitter at Trump. Guy who runs the WHO isn’t even an MD.

This. On the day ImpeachedTrump said he's no longer taking the drug. LiarInChief Hydroxychloroquine MemorialDay

Because China told them to do so

Trump will come out crying about this. His friends who make the drug will lose millions

65 years it's been used, by the WHO, and now that Trump is saying its what's most effective, the WHO says its unsafe. Weird.

Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life--think of it, dream of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success.'
