A drug infamously touted by Donald Trump has been linked to nearly 17,000 Covid deaths in a new scientific study.
Researchers say that the anti-malaria drug hydroxychloroquine was prescribed to patients during the first wave of Covid-19 “despite the absence of evidence documenting its clinical benefits.”
The French study estimated that 16,990 patients in the US, France, Belgium, Italy, Spain and Turkey may have died as a result of the drug.
The study has been published in the February issue of Biomedicine & Pharmacotherapy.
Researchers say the data used comes from a study published in the Nature scientific journal, which reported that there was an 11 per cent increase in mortality rate linked to the drug’s prescription.
Sorry, I’m a millennial. I can’t afford a gun because I buy so much avocado toast and coffee.
Heck, when I was a kid, people were buying rocks with googly eyes on them. You can’t kill a person with a rock if you just put in a little effort! Have to explain everything to kids these days.
As a millennial, I my genx/bb father never stuck around, so “throwing” is only something I can do with garbage—in the correct receptacle, compost, trash, cans, plastic, glass. Don’t tell me it goes to the same spot, I can’t hear you with my AirPods in. La la la
