Hydroxychloroquine is Now OK

[ProfChaos]

Hydroxychloroquine may also be used to treat coronavirus (COVID-19) in certain hospitalized patients.

Using this medicine alone or with other medicines (eg, azithromycin) may increase your risk of heart rhythm problems (eg, QT prolongation, ventricular fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia). Hydroxychloroquine should only be used for COVID-19 in a hospital or during clinical trials. Do not take any medicine that contains hydroxychloroquine unless prescribed by your doctor.

Well... It's... sort of... okay and has been in the way of what is actually being said.

From your article, here's what they said in 2020 (emphasis mine)...

In the wake of President Trump saying Monday that he is taking hydroxychloroquine to avoid contracting COVID-19, NBC News medical correspondent Dr. John Torres warns that studies show that "people should not be taking this" outside a clinical setting. He says that while the drug works against malaria, studies have not found it effective against the coronavirus, and "we have numerous studies that people who have started taking it have had heart arrhythmias, even fatal."

Here's what they're saying now (bold emphasis their's)...

Hydroxychloroquine may also be used to treat coronavirus (COVID-19) in certain hospitalized patients.

Using this medicine alone or with other medicines (eg, azithromycin) may increase your risk of heart rhythm problems (eg, QT prolongation, ventricular fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia). Hydroxychloroquine should only be used for COVID-19 in a hospital or during clinical trials. Do not take any medicine that contains hydroxychloroquine unless prescribed by your doctor.

In a sense, it's really just rewording things a bit. At least that's what it looks like to me. If you click the one working Mayo Clinic link in the piece, it takes you to a statement...

This is on the Mayo website
"Hydroxychloroquine is used to treat malaria. It is also used to prevent malaria infection in areas or regions where it is known that other medicines (eg, chloroquine) may not work. Hydroxychloroquine may also be used to treat coronavirus (COVID-19) in certain hospitalized patients."

Then, if you click the link they provide, it's a dead page; i.e., page not found.

In short, the sense I'm getting is that it's click-bait where they are trying to turn something they have maintained since 2020 into a new 'admission' that Trump was right.

In other words, it's a piece of propaganda rather than some actual, newly released 'clarification' that Trump and Hydroxychloroquine proponents were correct all along. At least that's how I'm reading it.

The global bullies at the who and wef forced them to take that down within a week.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) proposed a new guideline this week for high-risk patients to take the antibiotic known as doxycycline as a morning-after pill to decrease the risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
So now this is ok for "off label" usage but Hydroxychloroquine isnt?
