Too bad that reckless right wingers will pursue the path of non-science at the behest of a con-man. There are indeed lots of treatments for Covid that work. Relying on Trump or his toadies for identifying them is a fool's errand.

Here's a little science ex-teacher.

Quote:
A National Institutes of Health clinical trial evaluating the safety and effectiveness of hydroxychloroquine for the treatment of adults with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has formally concluded that the drug provides no clinical benefit to hospitalized patients. Though found not to cause harm, early findings in June when the trial was stopped indicated that the drug was not improving outcomes in COVID-19 patients. Final data and analyses of the trial, which was funded by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), part of NIH, will appear online Nov. 9 in the Journal of the American Medical Association(link is external).

The trial, called Outcomes Related to COVID-19 treated with Hydroxychloroquine among Inpatients with symptomatic Disease (ORCHID), began after lab studies and preliminary reports suggested that hydroxychloroquine — commonly used to treat malaria and rheumatic conditions like arthritis — might have promise in treating SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.


But I did see that you've found another right wing web site to rev you up with nonsense.

Wow, Politico Fire, Red Hot Political News Daily! Who linked you up to their website?

As a fervid Trump supporter, you must have been digging deep to uncover ground breaking coverage of a zinc, low-dose hydroxychloroquine, and azithromycin treatment study in an effort to give it some credibility. I guess we will all be on pins and needles awaiting the expected peer review to be published in the December issue of the International Journal of Antimicrobial Agents.

It just gets nuttier. The controversial Dr. Zelenco? Techno—you’ve been breathing too much pig shit smell. Zelenco is a con man. Oh, that’s right, you voted for one.

Maybe instead of a thread on Nutty California there should be one on The nuttiness of the Trump followers...

Techno’s source:

Quote:
One of the leading physicians in Kiryas Joel, Dr Zev Zelenko, has announced that he is leaving the Village of Kiryas Joel where he has been practicing medicine for nearly two decades.

Zelenko made national headlines recently by promoting Hydroxychloroquine as a treatment for COVID-19.


Obviously the Village of Kiryas Joel is the academic peak for infectious disease control.

You can’t make up stuff this stupid. I shudder to think this guy was once a schoolteacher.

I have difficulty understanding how anybody could have voted for someone who managed the pandemic like this.

Understanding data and multi-variable problems clearly escapes Mike Fick. Or as my dad used to say, there are liars, damned liars, and statisticians.

Sad.

Comprehensive study of all 50 states desmonstrates that drivers exceed the speed limit despite there being speed limits.

Dose a mask mandate mean every single person wears a mask? Does a speed limit mean no one exceeds the speed limit? Hhhmmmmmm Rolling Eyes
