CNN: Rogue doctor in New York intentionally harming patients by following Trump's recommendations instead of advice of CNN medical experts

I have to listen to MSNBC as i'm passing through the house because my other family members are Democrats and you're not far off. It's making me crazy how much these fuckers are trying to overtly scare people and run President Trump down.

A slight positive sidenote, i haven't heard much bitching about our favorite President lately so maybe he's cutting through the noise.

Best of the comment section there:

“ Could the Washington Post dial down its self-indulgent partisan hatred of the President a bit, and dial up the accuracy and completeness of its reporting, at least for a public health emergency? ”

Millions of doses are in production.

If it can suppress the immune system’s response and minimize the fluid build up in the lungs, this will be more than enough to get us back to work and less fearful of the unknown.

It will still take months before we’re for sure of anything. Stay hopeful.

The even cooler than about this to me is the possibility that it will help regular ole pneumonia. Could save a lot of lives throughout the year if it works for that. Not that I know anything about how these meds work.

They prevent your body from trying to dispel the virus with mucus production and the like. That way the lungs, sinuses and membranes don’t swell and fill with fluid. They also work to prevent viral replication within the body.

Pneumonia kills people because they are already at risk due to underlying conditions. Same with corona.

Dude that study just says processed cow urine can act as a dissinfectant.... Chloroquinne has a specific mechanism of action against corrona like virus. Not saying its the answer but it has verry few side effects, it's now a generc med so is very cheap. What's your problem and why you being a negative nancy?

Not just this, Suman Haripriya even said a 'hawan' (offering prayers to gods in front of fire), using cow dung, can be performed in China to purify the country's air. China's Wuhan is the epicentre of the coronavirus outbreak.

"The rishi munis (saints) had performed hawan by using cow dung and the air of about five-kilometre radius area was purified... Our government can also try to do this," Suman Haripriya said.

Suman Haripriya said that saints, in ancient times, made panchamrit by using cow urine, milk and honey which cured all their ailments and they managed to live a thousand years."

This has to be satire right?

The countries that have a lot of malaria widely use this drug. Those countries have very little (or no) coronavirus patients.

Sorry, but stories like this are just plain stupid. Anecdotal evidence like this doesn't mean much. In order to know if the drug is actually having an effect you need a controlled test.

Luckily, now that they will start using on more people they can collect enough data and probably give us a real answer within a few weeks.

seen this drug talked about since early Feb. Might be something to it. Besides if you are dying, take the chances, no time for a "clinical study"

OhLollyLollyPop 3 points ago +4 / -1

Both drugs are already FDA approved and doctors are using it on patients with no other hope. Best clinical trial ever!

Absolutely agree they should be using this on sick people and collecting more data. All I'm saying is that articles like this are dangerous because they misinform people. They imply things which have not been proven and most people walk away assuming it's true.

Decisions need to be made based on scientific data, not anecdotal stories.

Bottomline, If I get sick, before there's a cure, I'd want to take it.

uvontheterrible 2 points ago +3 / -1

So would I, but that doesn't change the fact that stories like this are irresponsible and stupid :)

You’ve been downvoted for having a brain.

_Ghost_Void_ 2 points ago +2 / -0

No hes being down voted for being ignorant. Several peer reviewed studies have shown Chloroquine to extremely effective. Just because you two don't keep up with the news doesn't mean your being down voted for no reason.

I’m aligned with Trump and Fauci. If I’m ignorant it’s because they are. (They aren’t)

I also have the top comment with 59 upvoted. If I’m off the mark, so are the rest of those ‘pedes. Take a look at who you’re taking to before you post.
