Hydroxychloroquine has officially been disqualified as the medicine for COVID-19, and all the drug trials on this medicine have been suspended.
The WHO announced that Hydroxychloroquine is no longer safe, and has pulled it out from all research and studies related to finding the Coronavirus cure.
Trump had shamelessly promoted this dangerous medicine among his followers
Earlier this month, Donald Trump lied and said that he was taking Hydroxychloroquine as a “prevention” from the virus. This incited many of his followers to follow suit as they hoarded the medicine and started taking it without any prescription from doctors.
The same thing was done by the Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, who also claimed to be taking the medicine and made his followers take it as well.
Both right-wing presidents shamelessly promoted the medicine, driving up the sales and putting their own country people at risk. It almost seems as if both these right-wing presidents are salesmen of the corporate companies – which is obviously always true for any right-wing government in the world.
WHO has pulled the drug from testing because of its dangers
Many recent studies have questioned the viability and safety of hydroxychloroquine, and after that the World Health Organization has stopped all the tests and trials involving the medicine. Many studies have even pointed out that Hydroxychloroquine actually increases the risk of death.
Trump took it because he “heard a lot of good stories”
Trump had started taking it without a doctor’s prescription or any credible info that said it works. He took it to promote the medicine and increase the sales, but he was claiming that he started “curing” himself after he saw other people promoting it.
“I think it’s good. I’ve heard a lot of good stories.”
Many experts in his own government warned him, and even FDA released info about the risks of taking hydroxychloroquine – but Trump didn’t listen.
It’s not surprising why the USA and Brazil are most affected by COVID-19
Meanwhile, Brazil’s health ministry has said they’ll continue to promote hydroxychloroquine despite all the risks involved. the unstated reason is so that pharma companies in Brazil can turn a profit at the expense of people’s lives.
For the capitalists and right-wing governments, people’s lives literally have no value when it comes to corporate profit.
Both Trump and Bolsonaro are against the lockdown so that corporate companies can turn a profit by bringing people to work amidst huge risk of infection and death.
Not surprising that USA and Brazil are ranked #1 and #2 in the number of total Coronavirus cases.
Here’s a list of all the reasons why Hydroxychloroquine is not safe at all for COVID-19 treatment.
