Bayer Donates 3 Million Chloroquine Tablets in Fight Against Chinese Virus

Breitbart-

German pharmaceutical giant Bayer AG announced Thursday that it donated 3 million tablets of the malaria drug Resochin to the United States amid testimonies that it could potentially treat individuals with the deadly Chinese coronavirus.

Resochin, which is made of chloroquine phosphate, is presently not approved for consumption in the U.S., though the company is working with federal public health agencies to secure authorization for its use nationwide.

“Resochin, a product discovered by Bayer in 1934 and indicated for prevention and treatment of malaria, also appears to have broad spectrum antiviral properties and effects on the body’s immune response. New data from initial preclinical and evolving clinical research conducted in China, while limited, shows potential for the use of Resochin in treating patients with COVID-19 infection,” Bayer said in a statement. “Bayer in recent days has been in talks with the White House, HHS, CDC, and the FDA, offering any assistance we can provide with a focus on donating Resochin to help in the government’s efforts to combat the virus.” read more

  2. Why was the midget doctor discouraging it today? I really don’t like the man, much nicer when they kept him away.

    BTW, these days if you read the side effects of just almost any drug it would scare you from taking it, even common antibiotics. I asked a pharmacist awhile back why an antibiotic I had taken before now list side effects it once didn’t and he said if one person out of a million has a side effect these days, it’s now listed as a side effect.

    On edit: Just realized this is a different drug than Trump was talking about.

    My SIL said him and his family all took it for so many days before and after a hunting trip to Africa.
    Many people I keep saying they’re worried the price will skyrocket or they won’t be able to get it now that take it for arthritis. They say the worse thing is it can cause you go to blind, so they have to have their eyes checked twice a year. Some are saying they’ve been taking it for 5+ years.

  3. Or, you could just eat a clove of garlic.

    :falls on knees, assumes prayer position:

    “It’s like the hysteria gene and the stupidity gene are in the same DNA strand. Can’t you use magic or something to fix this?”
