Trump says he's taking malaria drug to protect against virus

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump said Monday that he is taking a malaria drug to protect against the new coronavirus, despite warnings from his own government that it should only be administered for COVID-19 in a hospital or research setting due to potentially fatal side effects.

Trump told reporters he has been taking the drug, hydroxychloroquine, and a zinc supplement daily "for about a week and a half now." Trump spent weeks pushing the drug as a potential cure or prophylaxis for COVID-19 against the cautionary advice of many of his administration's top medical professionals. The drug has the potential to cause significant side effects in some patients and has not been shown to combat the new coronavirus.

Trump said his doctor did not recommend the drug to him, but he requested it from the White House physician.

"I started taking it, because I think it's good," Trump said. "I've heard a lot of good stories."

The Food and Drug Administration warned health professionals last month that the drug should not be used to treat COVID-19 outside of hospital or research settings, due to sometimes fatal side effects. Regulators issued the alert for the drug, which can also be used to treat lupus and arthritis, after receiving reports of heart-rhythm problems, including deaths, from poison control centers and other health providers.

Trump dismissed reports of side effects, saying, "All I can tell you is, so far I seem to be OK."

At least two White House staffers tested positive for COVID-19 earlier this month, sparking concerns about the steps taken by the administration to protect the president and sending Vice President Mike Pence and other officials into varying forms of self-isolation.

The White House has since mandated that those in the West Wing wear face coverings and has introduced daily testing for the virus for the president, vice president and those they come in close contact with.

Trump last underwent an "interim" checkup in a November visit to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center that was not noted on his public schedule. His last complete physical took place in February 2019.

Trump has repeatedly pushed the use of the drug with or without the antibiotic azithromycin, but no large, rigorous studies have found them safe or effective for preventing or treating COVID-19.

Two large observational studies, each involving around 1,400 patients in New York, recently found no benefit from hydroxychloroquine. Two new ones published Thursday in the medical journal BMJ reached the same conclusion.

One, by French researchers, gave 84 hospitalized patients the drug and 97 others the usual care. There were no differences in the odds of death, need for intensive care or developing severe illness.

The other study from China was a stricter test: 150 adults hospitalized with mild or moderate illness were randomly assigned to get hydroxychloroquine or usual care. The drug made no difference in rates of clearing the virus or time to relief of symptoms, and they brought more side effects.

In April, the National Institutes of Health launched a study testing hydroxychloroquine versus a placebo drug in 500 hospitalized COVID-19 patients. Last week, NIH announced another study to see if hydroxychloroquine plus azithromycin can prevent hospitalization or death in people with mild to moderate illness. About 2,000 U.S. adults with confirmed coronavirus infections and symptoms such as fever, cough or shortness of breath will get the drugs or placebo pills.

U.S. prescriptions for hydroxychloroquine surged roughly 80% in March to more than 830,000 compared with same period in the prior year, according to data tracking firm IQVIA. That jump in prescribing came before the federal government accepted nearly 30 million doses of the drug donated to the strategic national stockpile by foreign drugmakers. Since then, millions of those tablets have been shipped to U.S. hospitals nationwide for use treating patients with COVID-19.

The actor that played Eddie Haskell died today. 

Ken Osmond, the actor best known for playing Eddie Haskell on the classic sitcom   Leave It to Beaver   before leaving the industry to become a police officer, died Monday at his home in Los Angeles,   Variety   reports. He was 76.

A cause of death was not immediately available, though Osmond’s former partner in the Los Angeles Police Department said he suffered from respiratory issues. Osmond’s son Eric said in a statement, “He was an incredibly kind and wonderful father. He had his family gathered around him when he passed. He was loved and will be very missed.”

I can see why you would be concerned for his health. I think we all should be. But I don't think it's our place to judge the medical decisions he makes for himself. He and his doctor know far more about his body than we do. He still has the right to make those calls.

Why should the WH Doctor lie for Trump. That Doctor will still be in practice long after Trump is out of office, so why should he jeopardize his own career and reputation to lie for someone who is a better liar than anyone else could be and ruin his own lifes career. 

He would be a total idiot to lie, or even broadly hint that Trump was taking the drug he says he is. And I doubt that that Doctor made sure that Trump knew about all the dangerous side effects, if he is indeed taking the drug. Which in itself may be just one more lie on Trumps part to promote the sale of the drug to increase his investment return.

After reading his press release, and it's careful wording, it's obvious to me that the WH Doctor didn't prescribe HCQ to Trump. He was too much of a pussy to deny Trump's claim in plain language but he also doesn't seem to want to out and out lie. Hence his equivocation. 

BTW, those in the employ of this WH seem to have one basic thing in common; an utter lack of intestinal fortitude. I have yet to see one resign on principle, other than Mattis of course.

Well....If they didn't know what kind of person Trump was before he was elected as POTUS they certainly should by now. IMHO, anyone at this pint that takes a job at the WH, or anywhere near Trump, should know they are risking their reputation, to say nothing of their own freedom, by working for or with him. They should understand that working for him in any capacity makes them a potential scapegoat for anything and everything that comes Trumps way.

Most everyone who thought they were being given the great honor to work for/with Trump has now found out that they were simply more fodder needed as Trumps' fall guy and yet they hang in there hoping they aren't going to be the next to fall.

And that tells me a lot about them, and it ain't good. At least it proves that Mattis has some self respect and backbone.

It’s a matter between him and his doctor.  It with the anti biotic and zinc seems to be an effective prevention tool and mitigation if taken while not infected yet or immediately upon infection.  He started taking it around the time that some who work inside the White House were coming down with it.  No one wants our President hospitalized or in ICU like Boris Johnson was.  We wish him well and pray for his health, safety, and wisdom in dealing with the pandemic and reopening America.

It is not taking a back seat because Trump is taking it.  Right now it is being researched and clinical trials are ongoing to see it really is a benefit to fight cv or not.  If I had cv, and it had been proven effective, I would not refuse to take it just because Trump is.  I am no Trump fan but I would not cut my nose off to spite my face if I know there is an effective medication.  The only thing that would stop me from taking it is if the possible side effects might be worse than the disease itself.  He can call it a little red wagon for all I care.  I will wait for science's conclusion and listen to the experts over someone who thinks drinking disinfectants might be a cure.  Although I will  give him this.  He had mentioned about certain light sources that might assist in some way.  The University of California/Santa Barbara Researchers are developing ultraviolet LEDs that have the ability to decontaminate surfaces and potentially air and water.  Although it would not be for internal exposure as he alluded to, it was food for thought.

There actually is a company that has been developing internal UV therapy for intubated patients. They literally slide this light tube into the body and light it up from the inside. It kills bacteria and viruses, but not mammalian tissue. They've been working on it since 2016.

Based on Trump's actual language that day, it sounded like he had been briefed on something like this.

Trump: "supposing you brought the light inside of the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some other way. And I think you said you’re going to test that too. Sounds interesting ."

So clearly, he didn't just invent the idea. Someone told him about it. But since most journalists haven't heard about it, the quick conclusion was that Trump is out of his mind again.

That is a fair question.  It would all depend on whether I would be asymptomatic or not.  If positive but asymptomatic, no.  If I had symptoms, it would depend on the severity.  If the doctors told me that I most likely would die without at least seeing if it worked, then maybe I would if all other revenues of treatment for the existing symptoms were exhausted.  To quote Trump "What would I have to lose."  What I will not and would not do is take it as a prophylactic as he is doing.  He should take normal precautions such as social distancing as much as possible, carrying hand sanitizer, avoid hand shaking (people would understand) and wear a mask.  He should also look at things that can boost his immune system through diet.  He could still have his precious junk food, but there are other foods that he could also eat.

Which means they eventually die out before they can cause disease, or further disease, as the case may be. 

COVID-19 is the name of the coronavirus disease, but the underlying virus is called severe acute respiratory syndrome - coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). 

As I understand it, treatments or prescribed procedures typically address the symptoms and spread of the disease, whereas vaccines or other medicines that kill or block the virus from replication address the actual virus.

UV treatment works well for killing E coli, but the problem is it doesn't leave a residual so you can determine if you have effective disinfectant in your distribution, that's why chlorine or chloroamines are necessary after the UV

I saw a story about a clothing store owner who has installed the lights, both at the entry and in the overhead fixtures.  It is to kill the virus that might me on the shopper and supposedly the clothes for sale. 

its been used for that for years.(Especially in hospitals)

However it takes a strong dose to kill many of the more resistant germs. In some cases, a large enough dose to kill all bad germs would be dangerous to humans. 

In hospitals it used for a period to de-contaminate a room when patients aren't in them. (After a period, they turn it off and bring the patient(s) back to the room)._

Yes, President Trump does have some shares in multiple pharmaceutical companies that produce hydroxychloroquine, but the investments are part of mutual funds that are, in turn, part of family trusts.
Trump, himself, does not have direct control over these trusts.
To put it simply: It's true that Trump makes some income from companies producing hydroxychloroquine, but that income is a small part of a family trust that he doesn’t make decisions for.

Better yet, disprove it.  You CAN do that can't you?

My God, there are studies all over the place.

From The New England Journal of Medicine:

Widening access to experimental therapies that have not been fully evaluated is likely to have several unintended consequences. First, benefits to patients are unknown and may be negligible (as in the case of peramivir), in which case expanded access undermines physicians’ attempts to practice evidence-based medicine. Second, medications such as hydroxychloroquine have well-documented risks; subjecting patients to these risks would be unjustifiable in the absence of meaningful clinical benefit. Third, distributing unproven drugs under expanded access or EUAs may detract from the resources needed to carry out clinical trials, including the patient base and necessary funds. Since key outcome data are often not collected outside a trial, this redirection of resources will hamper our ability to quickly determine whether these drugs are truly safe and effective.

For the Covid-19 pandemic and other pressing medical challenges, the health of individual patients and the public at large will be best served by remaining true to our time-tested approach to clinical trial evidence and drug evaluation, rather than cutting corners and resorting to appealing yet risky quick fixes. The pandemic will inevitably leave considerable morbidity, mortality, and loss in its wake. Damage to the country’s medication-assessment process — and the public’s respect for it — should not be part of its legacy.  More/Source

From the FDA:

FDA cautions against use of hydroxychloroquine or chloroquine for COVID-19 outside of the hospital setting or a clinical trial due to risk of heart rhythm problems.  More/Source

he can't sell it.

He can own stock in it/

So what if a Mutual Fund has the manufacturer as part of his portfolio, so does probably every union retirement fund in the US, who gives a shit.

Per you?   Laughable at best.

There has been absolutely no testing or evidence that hydroxychloroquine has any effect as a prevention to COVID. 

That any doctor would prescribe any drug, with that severe of side effects, to a person showing absolutely no sign of COVID, truly is laughable and would probably result in that doctor's loss of license.

Better yet, disprove it.  You CAN do that can't you?

You made the claim, now prove your claim or withdraw it.  It is not my job to prove, or disprove, YOUR claim.  Trying to push it off onto me is a sure sign that your claim is a made up fiction.

Then what's the beef.

The beef is that Trump may be using his position to push an unproven medical treatment because he has a financial stake in it and not for any health reasons.

So what in your mind does this mean?: "...we concluded the potential benefit from treatment outweighed the relative risks". 

So in reaching this conclusion you feel they proceeded no further?  Does that make any sense to you?  The letter was in response to the question as to whether the treatment had been prescribed.  Do you need live footage of the event, or what would put this to rest for you?

You can't obtain hydroxychloroquine without a prescription.  The press secretary also made this clear in the statement.

"No one should be taking this drug if not prescribed by a doctor, it's very important to say that. Only your doctor can say that this is for you and prescribe it to you," McEnany told CBN News. 

And you can dispense with this "rightie" bullshit.  I haven't accused anyone here of being a "leftie" or "TDS sufferer" simply because they wish to interpret the facts in this matter through a different lens. I am completely prepared to admit that I am wrong on whether Trump was prescribed and is taking HC along with a zinc supplement, but the evidence to date indicates that he was/is.  If that changes in the coming days then I'll admit I was wrong.  Will you if additional information surfaces showing that what he said was true?

No, if Trump's official doctor stated that Trump was taking it, I'd think the doctor was a quack, but would take at face value that he was taking it.

However the doctor's letter went out of its way to avoid that statement, indicating he was ordered to write a pro hydroxychloroquine letter, but chose to avoid outright lying.

Not really. He is already going around without a face mask, thinking he is blessed by God and he won't get the virus. But, by taking the malaria drug that makes him feel safe only puts him more risk and everyone around him. Just because he hasn't gotten the virus yet does not mean he is totally immune to it and can't get it. And feeling too safe will make him do more stupid stuff that will put more people around him at risk of getting it from him.

He just does not want to cover up his way too handsome face, as that makes women swoon so much that he can grab their p*zzy and do anything he wants to them and they won't refuse him because of his gorgeous face.

Indeed it is, and has been since day one of Trumps tenure as POTUS. And will be even more so as long as he remains in the WH. I think that at this point Trump is both mentally and emotionally drained and ready to hand the reins over to someone else so he can go play at his rallies, where his supporters make him feel like he is doing good.

Having to take responsibility for all that he says and does, even though he denies any part of responsibility, is weighing heavily on him and he finds it hard to pass the blame to someone else anymore even though he tries. The Covid virus has done him under, as he cannot manipulate it as he pleases, and whatever he says or does in regards to it is a direct reflection in him, and he can't stand it that he can't pass his mistakes for the thousands of deaths due to his own lack of taking the virus that had already taken the lives of so many others before it arrived here in the US seriously in the first place. He said it was a joke, a hoax, just the flu, anything to pass to off a being a deadly virus that needed immediate attention.

Does that work better than Lysol?

I saw a huge disclaimer on their site when I was trying to buy some Lysol online since I cannot find it in any stores ANYWHERE.  

It is as follows:

'Improper use of Disinfectants

Due to recent speculation and social media activity, RB (the makers of Lysol and Dettol) has been asked whether internal administration of disinfectants may be appropriate for investigation or use as a treatment for coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2).

As a global leader in health and hygiene products, we must be clear that under no circumstance should our disinfectant products be administered into the human body (through injection, ingestion or any other route). As with all products, our disinfectant and hygiene products should only be used as intended and in line with usage guidelines. Please read the label and safety information.

The people suffering from malaria and lupus are under the careful care and scrutiny of medical professionals.

You don't know how many malaria and lupus patients have stopped taking that drug for that very reason.

Are there not major differences that you appear to be neglecting?   Those taking it for malaria and lupus are usually on the medication for extended periods of time and yes are quite often under close medical supervision.

You're repeating what I just said

Long term uses generally require supervision, while immediate use short term applications do not. 

that depends on the drug. Some doctors may prescribe a heavy duty pain killer and keep close tabs on their patient. Morphine is a fine example. Used in the short term but scrutinized carefully

Like the doctors that routinely prescribed SSRI's like candy but never followed up to see if any of the known deleterious side effects were manifesting themselves?  Those types of doctors?

Not all doctors are created equally. If a doctor is neglecting her patient, then she's not a very doctor, is she and should be used for malpractice

You don't know how many malaria and lupus patients have stopped taking that drug for that very reason. And you do?

I'm not saying that I do. You're once again not comprehending my meaning and I can't do anything about that. I doubt very many of us on NT know any malaria or lupus patients that have been taken off hydroxychloroquine because of neurological side effects.

Although masks are not a perfect preventative for those who wear them, they are much better at preventing the wearer from SPREADING the virus.  Since the first two weeks of being infected has no symptoms, and yet a person is still capable of SPREADING the virus during those weeks, even if one thinks they are not infected it is a matter of common courtesy to others to wear a mask when close to others - a courtesy that selfish pigs do not bother with.

No doctor in his right mind would prescribe an Anti-malarial drug as a "preventative" measure. They would NEVER prescribe a Zpak unless it was a serious infection, usually respiratory in nature. Zinc is something a lot of people take as a vitamin supplement but it can interact with other medications. The letter his doctor released does not confirm this as a fact. There is no fake news, just fake statements from a reckless man pretending to be a leader. Just spouting off nonsense to boost a cronies stock portfolio most likely.

It was just a supporting comment to a conversation where they were already talking about the drug. The context was that a lot of people were taking it with good reason and doing just fine. For example: front line medical workers, and him.  

But people are acting like this personal medical decision is some kind of national crisis. To that degree, it's really not anyone's business.

It is my business if our president is lying.. And in this case his lies could kill people. Granted it would kill stupid people, but still. And I guess you don't give a shit if people who actually need this drug for lupus and such can't get it. Smh.

Which part of it was a lie? That he was taking the meds or that he was doing fine so far? And how would you know?

And in this case his lies could kill people.

How?

And I guess you don't give a shit if people who actually need this drug for lupus and such can't get it.

I would care very much. Is that documented as actually happening? And is it just because of Trump or is it also because doctors all over the world are trying it with their patients? And if it's the case that doctors genuinely want to try the drug, shouldn't they be able to?

Doctor/patient decisions are between doctors and patients

Except the ones that are brought to light in a national news presser.

No matter what Trump says, Trump haters will see the glass as empty (not even half empty and), while those who support our President are able to see the glass as half full.

Learned early in life that there are two sides to things, unfortunately the Trump haters seemed to have never learned that.

I see that there are two sides to Trump, the dried shit stain side and the wet shit stained side. Neither are much of a choice for any sane rational American. He is a compulsive liar, has admitted on tape he doesn't "even wait" for consent and just starts kissing women he finds attractive and believes he can grab women by the pussy because he thinks he's a star, is a monumental narcissist and an abject moron. There is no side of Trump that includes "competent human being", he is the very definition of the worst humanity has to offer.

Donald Trump deserved all that. Now then, some enabler will abuse the word, "hater," in a pathetic attempt at shaming, but it won't work. Because Donald Trump is somewhere in the country right this instance insisting somebody else kiss his ASS, disrespecting the recent dead (Trump: 'They were old and near death anyway.'), and deliberately telling liberals what's good for them is to kiss Mitch McConnell's 'shell' on the underside.

I suggest we continue to pour truth into the political wound on Donald Trump's head.

Narcissistic personality disorder.

trump-portrait2-compressor.jpg

"Freak"

Symptoms

I ndividuals with narcissistic personality disorder, according to the DSM-5 , exhibit five or more of the following, which are present by early adulthood and across contexts:

  • A grandiose sense of self-importance
  • Preoccupation with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love
  • Belief that one is special and can only be understood by or associate with special people or institutions
  • A need for excessive admiration
  • A sense of entitlement (to special treatment)
  • Exploitation of others
  • A lack of empathy
  • Envy of others or the belief that one is the object of envy
  • Arrogant, haughty behavior or attitudes

I realize some conservatives have been pushed here to stir up, cook up, and direct attention on Trump by hook or crook , because attention of any kind can be capitalized on. Still, I have one question:

  • Does the "mission" allow for some conservatives here to buoy up the truth in the name of moderation once in a while?

CNN just now reporting about a 96,000-patient study that shows Hydroxychloroquine does indeed increase the risk of death for those patients receiving it.

If his doctor did indeed prescribe this medication for Trump, an immediate investigation is warranted.  On the other hand, Trump hasn't thrown anyone under the bus in the last five minutes   I hope Dr. What'sHisNuts didn't have Memorial Day plans.

And no, I don't believe for one instant that Trump's doctor prescribed Hydroxychloroquine for him, nor do I believe he is/has/was taking it.  Trump is having to dig deep into the trash bin for distractions, and this is the best he can do.
