A 42-year-old woman from the Los Angeles area whoâs diagnosed with lupus said her health care provider stopped filling her prescription for chloroquine â and sent her a message thanking her for her âsacrificeâ to help treat those seriously ill with the coronavirus.
The woman identified only by her first name Dale said she received a message from Kaiser Permanente, a major health care provider based in Oakland, Calif., on Tuesday informing her that the company was reserving its current supply of plaquenil/hydroxychloroquine. The drug would be used to treat those âcritically ill with COVID-19â amid shortages caused by the global pandemic, it said.
âThe fact that they thanked me for my âsacrificeâ is disturbing,â Dale told BuzzFeed News. âI never agreed to sacrifice my health and possibly my life, and cannot believe that I am being forced to do so.â
I saw a bit on a 100pt study out of NY last week where they had 100% success.
All the patients were very sick and hospitalized in either serious or critical condition.
Harsh as it sounds these Severe Respiratory Syndrome Viruses have been the natural culling mechanism for the human population for centuries and will continue to be.
Weâre going to be lucky and beat this one without too many lives lost but itâs only a matter of time until another one popâs up we canât stop.
There is no scarcity. 300 million doses have been added to the existing stockpiles in the last two weeks and another hundred million will be coming from Germany next week.
In its emailed message, Kaiser Permanente said âhydroxychloroquine does build up a level in the system that stays in the body for an average of 40 days even after the last dose is taken.
I still seriously question whether or not this is true. None of our stores or hospital pharmacies are running low and there has been no order sent out by the federal govât to gather it all up and save it for CCV patients.
I did read it. I quoted the part that was germane to the post I replied to, illustrating that there are two sides to the coin. The woman quoted could die because she canât get her medicine due to it being used to treat people with covid.
No, sheâs not going to die and the entire article is at best suspect.
In its emailed message, Kaiser Permanente said âhydroxychloroquine does build up a level in the system that stays in the body for an average of 40 days even after the last dose is taken.
If this was actually going on it would be a bigger story than the virus itself.
There has been no nationalization of the existing stockpiles nor any order coming from the feds to cut off people with active prescriptions for it.
Not cut off, simple unavailability of the drug. There are hundreds of articles all over the internet about pharmacies running short of chloroqune drugs.
From the same article is a verified doctor who tweeted that she couldnât get it for her lupus either.
Anna Valdez, Ph.D., RN, a medical professional also diagnosed with lupus, said she couldnât refill her prescription for hydroxychloroquine either due to shortages amid the coronavirus outbreak. It is unclear who her health care provider is.
Did you hear that right wing propagandist Morning Joe accusing Trump of wanting to let veterans from WWII and Korea and Vietnam die the other day so Boeingâs bottom line could be saved. I m on my phone so the link is hard but it was March 25 or 26 itâs easy to look up.
WaitâŚwhat???
Morning Joe is a slobbering left winger???
It the left always says itâs folks on the right stoking fear and just flat lyingâŚdamn!
