Media outlets rushed to denounce hydroxychloroquine after President Donald Trump revealed he was taking it as a prophylactic against the coronavirus. Pundits called the drug dangerous and ineffective based on selected studies.
“I've been taking it for about a week and a half now and I'm still here,” Trump said Monday during an event at the White House, adding he had heard good things about the drug from medical professionals.
Fox News anchor Neil Cavuto immediately reacted by bringing up one long-documented side effect of the drug, used for decades to treat malaria and lupus.

If you are in a risky population here, and you are taking this as a preventative treatment ... it will kill you. I cannot stress enough. This will kill you.
Cavuto proceeded to interview two physicians, quickly cutting off the one that said the drug “may be beneficial and potentially life-saving” for some patients, while allowing the other to argue that no one should take anything without consulting their personal doctor.

One outlet after another – the Washington Post, Guardian, NowThis, etc – put front and center last month’s warning by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that no one should be taking HCQ without a prescription, citing the danger to people with heart problems.
The reaction mirrored media coverage from early April, when Trump first mentioned the possible benefits of the drug. There were conspiracy theories about his possible financial interest in the medication – which has been cheap and off-patent for years – and even an attempt to blame the president for a suspicious poisoning of a Nevada couple who ingested fish tank cleaner that contained a different chemical altogether.

Asked about evidence that the drug might be effective, Trump cited a letter from a doctor treating Covid-19 patients in New York state, as well as others. A Democrat state legislator from Detroit, Michigan also credited him for mentioning hydroxychloroquine, saying that it saved her life after she fell ill with Covid-19. Rep. Karen Whitsett went to the White House and said so in public at the end of April, earning herself a punishment from the party.
There has been no definitive proof of the drug’s effectiveness either way. Mainstream media have hyped an observational study at Veterans Affairs hospitals suggesting it does not help severely ill patients, while ignoring a study published by the National Institutes of Health in March showing that it does help treat pneumonia caused by Covid-19.

I was at my doctor's today and according to him it definitely helps if taken early.

However for those already on ventilators it's a bit too late.

Asked him about the possibility of death as a result of this drug and he said that is possible with any drug but it is very unlikely.
 
It helped this democrat and because she thanked Trump she has had to pay the price

Michigan Democratic lawmaker says hydroxychloroquine saved her life
By Amanda Woods

3-4 minutes



A Michigan state lawmaker infected with COVID-19 is crediting the controversial anti-malarial drug hydroxychloroquine with saving her life — saying she felt better within a few hours of taking her prescription.

Democratic state Rep. Karen Whitsett of Detroit told FOX News’ “The Ingraham Angle” Monday that she went into home quarantine on March 12, the day she last attended a session at the State House in Lansing, and her condition only got worse from there.

“It took the longest [time] for me to actually be able to get an appointment and getting with my doctor, which was the 18th of March, and then actually getting the COVID test,” Whitsett said on the program.

She initially thought she’d contracted a bout of pneumonia and was prescribed the antibiotic amoxicillin.

But then on March 31, she tested positive for COVID-19. By then, she said, her condition had “just plummeted.”


“It went from the headaches being severe to fluid building up in my lungs, to sweats breaking out to the cough and my breathing being labored,” Whitsett said. “It all happened in a matter of hours.”

At the hospital, Whitsett learned that the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs, under Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, had issued a state order prohibiting the use of hydroxychloroquine. Though that order was retracted several days later, at the time, Whitsett struggled to get her hands on the medication.

“I did have a difficult time, even that day, obtaining the medication because of an order that was put down in my state,” she said on the program. “And it was on that day, so you can imagine how terrified I was that I had to beg and plead and go through a whole lot to try to get the medication.”

Whitsett suffers from chronic Lyme disease — for which hydroxychloroquine is also used as a treatment — but she said she had never thought of it as a potential coronavirus treatment until President Trump touted the drug.

“If President Trump had not talked about this, it wouldn’t have been something that would be accessible for anyone to be able to get right now,” the lawmaker said.
Whitsett was feeling better within hours of her first dose, she said.

“It has a lot to do with the president … bringing it up,” the freshman lawmaker told the Detroit Free Press. “He is the only person who has the power to make it a priority.”
Trump tweeted the Free Press’ story Monday.

“Congratulations to State Representative Karen Whitsett of Michigan,” he wrote. “So glad you are getting better!”

Trump has repeatedly highlighted the drug’s ability to fight COVID-19, especially when combined with the antibiotic azithromycin. But health professionals have argued it is unproven and carries multiple risks. They also say Trump’s promotion of the drug could lead to a shortage of the medication of those who normally use it for other illnesses.
 
Democrats Plan To Censure Lawmaker Who Said Trump’s Boosting Of Hydroxychloroquine Saved Her Life

  • Democrats plan to censure Michigan lawmaker who said Trump’s boosting of hydroxychloroquine ‘saved my life.’

The resolution states, according to a copy obtained by The Detroit News, that Rep. Karen Whitsett “has repeatedly and publicly praised the president’s delayed and misguided COVID-19 response efforts in contradiction with the scientifically based and action-oriented response” from Michigan’s Democratic leadership, “endangering the health, safety, and welfare of her constituents, the city of Detroit and the state of Michigan.”
