Doctor prescribing Trump-touted anti-malarial drug to coronavirus patients claims it 'absolutely' works

A Colorado family physician claimed that prescribing the drug touted by President Trump as a treatment for the coronavirus, combined with an antibiotic, has reversed his patients' symptoms in a matter of “a day or two.”

Dr. Constantine Tsamasfyros has practiced medicine in Denver for 50 years and began treating about a dozen coronavirus patients with the anti-malarial drug hydroxychloroquine and an antibiotic called azithromycin about four weeks ago.

“They all did well. They seemed to reverse their symptoms in a day or two,” Tsamasfyros told CBS Denver this week.

How many effective medications, vaccines, treatments, cautions and cures have emerged in times of historical medical crisis? Most were discounted until the effectiveness was established, things as simple as hand washing and not dumping your sewage upstream of your drinking water supply.
How many were never recognized because of fear, greed, pride, envy or politics, and how many suffered or died or were orphaned because of it?

Again with the anecdotal evidence.
1. No indication that the patients even tested positive.
2. Even if they actually had it. These are outpatients in a general doctors office which means they are in the mild category with 0% death rate. Suck it up and stay home, stop spreading your germs!
3. Still no word on how this helps treating really sick COVID-19 patients. That's what we need to focus on -saving lives.

They should have listened to Trump right from the start and a lot of lives would have been saved. But, ohhh noooo, not if Trump said it was good, then according to the democrats, it had to be bad. The democrats have a lot of blood on their hands.

What planet are you on 7:33? Your whole post is completely wrong. Don't even think of taking that terrible drug if you are unlucky enough to catch the covid.

Awwww, check out what is happening in NYC where the drug is being used on patients on their death bed. Man I wish these idiots would do research before they post.

If it was myself or my family member I would definitely take it, it is the only proven drug thus far.
