Fauber, long-in-tooth at the Journal-Sentinel, carries on his attack of HCQ.
...But as prescriptions for hydroxychloroquine boomed, reports of serious adverse events linked to the drug during the first half of the year more than doubled, according to a Milwaukee Journal Sentinel analysis of newly released data from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s adverse events reporting system....
Well, that's that!! HCQ has "adverse events" (and Trump likes it) so........you wanna DIE???
Yah, well, read on. The weasel-wording is buried, as you might expect.
...Experts warn it is currently difficult, if not impossible, to distinguish whether a patient’s symptoms were due to hydroxychloroquine or caused by COVID-19 until scientists have a better understanding of the coronavirus....
That's not the only if-and-but-maybe-sorta Fauber has to insert.
Try this one:
...The FDA’s database of adverse events has limitations, including a lack of verification of the reports or of causation, and the possibility that other drugs could also have been used. For those and other reasons, the database should not be used to determine the safety of a drug, though experts say it can help identify concerning safety signals....
Well, no. Fauber did not put that in large type.
Narrative, you know.
You'll be shocked shocked shocked to learn that Fauber STILL doesn't mention the Henry Ford MedCenter/Hospital study.
Narrative, you know.
Still trust the "news" paper? You're a damn fool.

This randomized trial did not demonstrate a significant benefit of hydroxychloroquine as postexposure prophylaxis for Covid-19.

Isn’t leading with an insult the trademark of the socialist leftist? Narrative uber alles!
I doubt many of Dad’s readers are either National Socialists or International Socialists, and are willing to give full review of the complete data a fair chance.

There are now 53 studies that show positive results of hydroxychloroquine in COVID infections. There are 14 global studies that show neutral or negative results -- and 10 of them were of patients in very late stages of COVID-19, where no antiviral drug can be expected to have much effect. Of the remaining four studies, two come from the same University of Minnesota author. The other two are from the faulty Brazil paper, which should be retracted, and the fake Lancet paper, which was.
The fact of the matter is that there are several studies that show its ineffectiveness.

Oh, my.
Some say Yes, some say No.
The prudent man will ask his doc for the drug, along with zinc and a zith-pak, HCQ at 400 mg/day, yadayadayada.
That's as logically obvious as the nose on anyone's face. If id doesn't work, you die. If it DOES work, as OTHER studies show, well, you live to spit on the newspaper and Bill Gates.
