So her staff put out a notice that Tammy doesn't like Trump. Oooooohh!! She starts by asking about a shipment of 300K++ hydroxychloriquine tabs to Milwaukee and then moves on.
...The senator is also asking for answers into why President Donald Trump started pushing the malaria drug as a treatment for coronavirus.It's only "inconclusive" to people who cannot (or WILL not) read National Institutes of Health reports. Bear in mind that the Kung Flu--a "gift" from the Chinese Communists--is a SARS virus.
In a letter to the Principal Deputy Inspector of the Department of Health and Human Services, Baldwin wrote, "I am extremely concerned that the promotion of hydroxychloroquine exemplifies another effort to prioritize the misguided whims of the White House over science and public health. While the President has touted the benefits of hydroxychloroquine as a treatment for COVID-19, the evidence remains inconclusive."...
...chloroquine has strong antiviral effects on SARS-CoV infection of primate cells. These inhibitory effects are observed when the cells are treated with the drug either before or after exposure to the virus, suggesting both prophylactic and therapeutic advantage. In addition to the well-known functions of chloroquine such as elevations of endosomal pH, the drug appears to interfere with terminal glycosylation of the cellular receptor, angiotensin-converting enzyme 2. This may negatively influence the virus-receptor binding and abrogate the infection, with further ramifications by the elevation of vesicular pH, resulting in the inhibition of infection and spread of SARS CoV at clinically admissible concentrations.
Conclusion
Chloroquine is effective in preventing the spread of SARS CoV in cell culture. Favorable inhibition of virus spread was observed when the cells were either treated with chloroquine prior to or after SARS CoV infection. In addition, the indirect immunofluorescence assay described herein represents a simple and rapid method for screening SARS-CoV antiviral compounds....
Gee, Tammy, why aren't you protecting VA hospital personnel--the ones who turn vets into addicts?
LOL, the virus that causes COVID-19 and the one that caused the outbreak of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) in 2003 are related to each other genetically, but the diseases they cause are quite different. And you cite a 2005 report to boot that showed promise for SARS, NOT COVID-19.
ReplyDeleteI understand science is not your strong suit, but do some cursory searching lest you embarrass yourself further.

READING isn't your strong suit, twit.
ReplyDeleteNever said that Kung Flu and SARS are 'same' disease. Only mentioned that quinine derivative is approved treatment, so the Hair-On-Fire BS that the stuff is somehow awful is just that: BS.
Also on your "should have read" list is the testimony of the MD's, here and abroad, who have used it successfully on Chinese Lung-AIDS. There IS a protocol: early, not more than 400mg., must use ZithPak and zinc supplement.
Go back to your hole.
