Most have gone untouched and may have to be destroyed. Luiz Mandetta, a former Brazilian health minister who was fired for contradicting President Jair Bolsonaro on HCQ, said that the leader was knowingly pushing an ineffective treatment to create a “false hope” that would help get the economy back on track. “It’s just false hope. Poor people have a hard time getting the health system to work and they say, ‘at least I have this’. It’s more like a placebo, something they can take and be grateful to [Bolsonaro],” he said. “It’s a political choice, nothing about health. He uses the drug to say to people they can go back to work.” Mandetta predicted that the surplus will “probably” sit in storage for a few years and then be destroyed.

Most have gone untouched and may have to be destroyed. If Biden and the Democrats are so fantastic, why the rabid need to dump on Trump, shills? The desperation is telling. If you want the vaccine, get the vaccine. Mind you, supposedly there still hasn't been a successful vaccine for SARS or MERS, nor do they currently know if antibodies against COVID last long. But you should be able to do with your body as you want. If people would rather try OTC or well-tested, already available drugs instead, they should be able to. My understanding is that hydroxychloroquine needs to be taken early and with at least zinc, and there are studies and doctors who have vouched for its efficacy. If Brazil didn't want to use it, that's their choice. But people who get drug shipments they don't want should try to send them where they are needed/wanted, instead of just stashing them somewhere and complaining. It reminds me of the post-hurricane aid sent to Puerto Rico that then just sat and was wasted instead of being redistributed somewhere else. |

Most have gone untouched and may have to be destroyed. The Trump administration's donation of 2 million doses of hydroxychloroquine to Brazil -- one of a handful of countries that still recommend the drug for Covid-19 -- has been mostly untouched since arrival, Brazilian officials have told CNN. Vast quantities of the pills are still sitting in storage in the Brazilian megacity of São Paulo, and one former health minister believes they may eventually have to be destroyed. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78022927 The pills' fate in Brazil is appropriate given their medical uselessness against Covid-19: Study after study has shown hydroxychloroquine does not work to treat the coronavirus, and may be harmful. Yet Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro insists that hydroxychloroquine helped him recover from a two-week infection, and Brazil's health ministry advises that doctors prescribe the drug to treat mild cases, even for pregnant women. Meanwhile, the number of coronavirus infections in the country is skyrocketing. The medication arrived in Brazil on May 31. At the time, the White House said the delivery -- issued when several studies had already shown the drug was ineffective against Covid-19, if not dangerous -- would "be used as a prophylactic to help defend Brazil's nurses, doctors and health care professionals against the virus. It will also be used as a therapeutic to treat Brazilians who become infected." It also said the drug would be part of a study there, and ventilators would also be donated. The delivery soon went into storage near São Paulo's airport, Renato Strauss, a spokesman for the Health Ministry said. Two months later, the pills are still being held in a logistics center, according to Strauss. Following scientific guidance, many Brazilian doctors have stopped prescribing hydroxychloroquine despite the government's enthusiasm for it. But in a sign of how pervasive Bolsonaro's backing for the drug has been, a recent survey of doctors across Brazil reported that half of them felt pressured by patients to give the ineffective drug. A former health minister, Luiz Mandetta, fired by Bolsonaro in April partly over the President's support of hydroxychloroquine, described public demand for hydroxychloroquine as "false hope". He said the President knew from the start that science didn't back his choice of drug, although Bolsonaro has recently insisted it medically aided him. A spokesman for the US Embassy in Brasilia declined to answer questions and referred further queries to the White House, which did not respond to emails. [link to www.cnn.com (secure)] Not true they're using it for out patient care in early stages of COVID. Look for a zoom video of Brazilian doctors across the country talking about a drug cocktail including HCQ that helped decrease their hospital occupancy by 80%. People should know by now CNN doesn't do any investigative reporting themselves any more. |
