Exactly! Reading the study, I don't see any hard evidence. Sounds like the next Forsythia.

- jacquesm 7y ago> Sounds like the next Forsythia. For those that don't get the reference: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contagion_(2011_film) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contagion_(2011_film) And that's exactly what it is.
- blhack 7y agoOh come on that isn't fair. Just do a simple google search for countries which have made chloroquine part of their standard treatment. The reference you're making here is to a person trying to exploit people during a pandemic with what was an obvious lie. This is not that.
- SpikeDad 7y agoA country using an unproven treatment to quell panic is hardly unprecedented nor out of the realm of many governments and sorry for me to say the US as well. "Lets all pray for God to cure us" comes to mind.
- jacquesm 7y agoYou are harping on the theme of 'a miracle cure' in this thread. I think you're highly irresponsible.
- lurquer 7y agoI wonder if anyone has tried forsythia against covid? I’m just saying... we’d all feel pretty foolish if we find out in a couple years that it is effective. Edit: yeah, yeah... you downvote me, but I bet you secretly wiki'd forsythia to see if it's a real thing.
- jshevek 7y agoThis one study is weak, agreed. However, some form of chloroquine+iodine has been used successfully in South Korea. I don't agree with the "miracle" hyperbole, but there is reason to be hopeful.
