For people with no underlying heart or kidney problems, there is no evidence the drug — at the doses used in the clinical trials — poses serious risks of cardiac problems, said Dr. William O’Neill, who is overseeing a trial at the Henry Ford Health System in Detroit.

“We have decades of experience with this drug,” he said. “It’s one of the few drugs approved for use during pregnancy and for lactating women.”

Enrollment has also slowed in O’Neill’s study, which is focused on testing hydroxychloroquine’s ability to protect people who work in high-risk settings, like hospitals, nursing homes and prisons, from infection. The project was funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, which is interested in inexpensive drugs that might be used to fight COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus, in developing countries.

O’Neill’s team has given hydroxychloroquine to about 1,700 people so far, with no serious side effects, he said.

Trump never drank or smoked so may not have risk factors in spite of his age. I think that VA 'study' protocol should be investigated.

Merci, c'est un vrai sujet. Il est critiqu?, chez les animaux de donner des m?dicaments, etc, sur des animaux sains. Si je partage ces critiques, dans des conditions extraordinaires, quand on est concern?, par le biais de cas av?r? proche, user d'un produit qui est un m?dicament, cela me semble concevable ... Au fait, c'est quoi un animal sain d'une part , d'autre part la m?decine chinoise et la phytoth?rapie , si ce ne sont pas des m?dicament, c'est rien ?

Si c'est rien, pourquoi , cela va -t-il ?tre signal? au niveau de l'O.M.S ?

Pour r?fl?chir sur ce sujet, il faut commencer par ceci : pour un m?decin, pour prendre un m?dicament, c'est uniquement quand on est malade ou ? Si tel est le cas, quel est le taux de malade par pays ? Ensuite, il faut se poser la question de l'acc?s, en certains lieux, de personnes malades, cela doit se faire sans aucune contrainte ou ?

Pour ?tre plus concret, c'est normal de prendre le m?tro, donc un transport collectif , quand on est malade et ou en ayant de la fi?vre ?

Ensuite, comme l'on parle de ONE HEALTH, quid de la d?finition partag?e de maladie et malade .

Thank you, it's a real topic. It is criticized, in animals for giving drugs, etc., on healthy animals. If I share these criticisms, under extraordinary conditions, when we are concerned, through close proven cases, using a product which is a drug, it seems conceivable to me ... In fact, what is an animal healthy on the one hand, on the other hand Chinese medicine and phytotherapy, if they are not drugs, it's nothing?

If it's nothing, why, will it be reported to the O.M.S?

To reflect on this subject, it is necessary to start with this: for a doctor, to take a medicine, it is only when one is sick or? If so, what is the sickness rate by country? Then, it is necessary to ask the question of the access, in certain places, of sick people, that must be done without any constraint or?

To be more concrete, is it normal to take the metro, so public transport, when you are sick and or having a fever?

Then, as we speak of ONE HEALTH, what about the shared definition of sick and sick.
