Laura: What does this report show?
Dr Ramin Oskoui: that the FDA is "corrupt to the core", FDA should never have injected themselves into this issue politically.
Laura: Will people die bc of FDA retraction? Oskoui: Yes.
[not bc it makes it illegal to use HCQ but bc it implies it's not worth using - ed.]
Dr Stephen Smith: [had a mic problem so it's a little disjointed]. Talks about way back when, last winter, when FDA talked about [recommended?] "ridiculously low dose 24 milligram doses" of HCQ. Also an article published on results at the beginning of March.
= = = = = = = =
From what Dr. Smith said, sounds like the "failure" of HCQ to help very sick patients might be directly because they recommended doses that were 'way too low to be effective [especially for very sick patients]. So it was set up for failure from the beginning.
Also, the report released today to seemed to disparange the use of HCQ wo/actually prohibiting it - and its tone is completely different than the remarks of Sec'y Alex Azar_at the presser earlier today, where he said this:
"At this point HCQ and chloroquine are just like any other approved drug in the United States. HCQ and CQ may be used in hospitals, they may be used in out-patients, they may be used at home, all subject to a doctor's prescription."
What's the study Dr. Smith tried to talk about (but got cut off due to lack to time? Why were the doses so low (much lower than those typically used for other HCQ treatements)?
anons dig!
