Sometimes a nudge in the right direction is all that is needed when admins can't make up their mind.

"Researchers called off a small Brazilian study on the anti-malaria drug chloroquine’s ability to combat coronavirus after some participants experienced potentially fatal heart complications."

QT prolongation CAN happen with HCQ, but DOESN'T for the vast majority of people. Same with azithromycin. The risk for drug induced QT prolongation is additive and those most at risk are people with a pre-existing heart arrhythmia. And it's pretty rare given the long list of meds that can potentially induce it.

Still, monitoring patients with an EKG in this setting was a good precautionary.

But its been astounding to see the media pretending this drug is brand new and we don't know how to manage its risks without randomized double-blind placebo controlled studies.

The issue is NOT safety, never has been, and news articles to the contrary are propaganda. All drugs have side effects, and doctors know this drug well, and know how to use it safely.

They gave it to patients near death in that study.

The Brazil study used very large doses of hydroxychloroquine.

And that one patient didn't even take the drug according to the doctor on the video. Everyone who took the combination dosage recovered.
