Perspective: The search for chloroquine helped bring about the modern pharmaceutical industry

showing that death rates are higher in covid-19 patients who were treated with hydroxychloroquine, the drug Trump touted.

But back then, U.S. drug companies were tiny compared with today’s giants. Some made no more than quack cures and remedies. The skills of U.S. chemists were limited by lack of experience. And most malaria experts knew little about drug development; they studied the mosquitoes that carry malaria.The Germans were by far the best at drug making. Bayer Co. — with blockbusters such as aspirin and heroin — set out to make a malaria drug after the disease crippled troops in World War I.

For three years, these scientists unsuccessfully ran tests on compounds that killed thousands upon thousands of chicks and ducklings with bird malaria, hundreds of dogs in toxicity tests and many, many human subjects.Just as Bayer had done in Germany in the 1920s and 1930s, U.S. researchers experimented on syphilitics undergoing malaria therapy at state hospitals in Massachusetts, Georgia, South Carolina, Illinois, New York and Washington, D.C.

We know this drug is particularly dangerous in people with heart, eye, liver and kidney problems, which are found so commonly in the elderly. So those who tend to become the sickest with covid-19 are the very people most susceptible to the dangers of chloroquine.

I can't help but wonder if Trump's goal is to kill people?

This Trump Daily AssClown show is the best Biden ad ever and it does cost us a penny!

Just stop. Your attempt at trying to normalize the bovine fecal matter being broadcast to the public by Individual1 on a daily basis is shameful.

M.DonaldTrump prenez votre téléphone et appelez votez homologue à Madagascar il vous donnera le remède. L'humilité précède la gloire

And Biden in the basement, who has never held a real job, is going to bring back the economy. Hahahahaha!

there's nothing wrong with looking into things. But claiming them as the end all be all can be problematic. Especially when it doesn't work out.

And nurture political and financial interests,more than positive and convincing results. So far,hydroxychloroquine is unknown,and it doesn't even offer hope.

What he Has done is using the trust in the position to give people ideas that will kill them. And caused insufficiency of malaria medicin where it's needed ,causing the death of hundreds of thousands in the near future.

A history that underscores the hard work of testing pharmaceuticals for therapeutic benefits, not the wishful thinking of a politician on the ropes throwing a hail mary and hoping that the research will back him up.

nice
