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.
Even so, the “one minute” disinfectant was actually alcohol, not bleach. It was an interesting presentation very early in the process when we didn’t know much.
But leave it up to the media to turn that into “injecting bleach.” Repeat a lie enough, people will believe it.
It was as interesting as observing that a handgun kills cancer cells, and have we tried that? It was never not incredibly dumb.
