Doctor group: Hydroxychloroquine drug helps 91% of coronavirus patients

  • The Association of American Physicians and Surgeons wrote a letter to Arizona Governor Doug Ducey urging wider use of hydroxychloroquine to treat covid
  • They claim that data on 2,333 coronavirus patients reveals the drug helped 91% of patients recover 
  • Their data is mostly taken from observations of various doctors, many of whom – including Dr Oz – report treating only one or two patients 
  • Dr Anthony Fauci has advised caution in using hydroxychloroquine until clinical trials provide more data 
  • FDA issued a warning against using hydroxychloroquine outside hospitals due to its potential to cause heart arrhythmias in some patients 
  • Hydroxychloroquine has shown promise in labs and anecdotal reports, but a VA study found more patients treated with it died than those given standard care
  • AAPS dismisses these results, arguing the veterans involved were very sick and their outcomes were not representative
