    Default Up to 10,000 NHS health workers will get hydroxychloroquine in trial

    .
    There are just so many ignorant arseholes on here, truly mind boggling.


    Up to 10,000 NHS workers will be given anti-malaria drug hydroxychloroquine to see if it can protect them against the coronavirus in a new trial.


    US President Donald Trump sparked fury earlier this week when announced he was taking the drug as a prophylaxis, despite there being no proof it works in this way.

    And the evidence on whether it can even treat COVID-19 - the disease caused by the coronavirus - is mixed.

    British researchers believe hydroxychloroquine's 'best chance' of working is if it used in prevention, which is exactly how it is used against malaria.

    The trial will involve healthcare workers who come into direct contact with COVID-19 patients. Results are expected by the end of the year.

    Hospitals in Brighton and Oxford will be among the first to be involved in the global study, which will also enroll volunteers in Europe, Africa, Asia and South America.

    So, Trump is doing something that is completely unproven to be effective. So who are the stupid people again?

    These arseholes claim that it's so dangerous that it should never be taken to prevent something in advance.

    Please cite the studies which show hydroxychloroquine to be "completely unproven to be effective".

    Stop cherry picking ffs!

    'The best way to find out if they are effective in preventing COVID-19 is in a randomised clinical trial.'

    The study's lead UK investigator, Professor Martin Llewelyn of Brighton and Sussex School, said a 'safe and effective vaccine may be a long way off'.

    He added: 'If drugs as well tolerated as chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine could reduce the chances of catching Covid-19 this would be incredibly valuable.'
