Former president called anti-malaria drug hydroxychloroquine a ‘miracle cure’
A drug infamously touted by Donald Trump has been linked to nearly 17,000 Covid deaths in a new scientific study.
Researchers say that the anti-malaria drug hydroxychloroquine was prescribed to patients during the first wave of Covid-19 “despite the absence of evidence documenting its clinical benefits.”
The French study estimated that 16,990 patients in the US, France, Belgium, Italy, Spain and Turkey may have died as a result of the drug.
The study has been published in the February issue of Biomedicine & Pharmacotherapy.
Researchers say the data used comes from a study published in the Nature scientific journal, which reported that there was an 11 per cent increase in mortality rate linked to the drug’s prescription.
You're viewing a single thread.
Unfortunately, the people who need to know the results of this study don't believe in studies.
And they're dead.
Some of them are. But I know plenty of Trumpers who consider anything coming out of a university or any study as "fake news."
