The irony is you are blaming people for interpreting this article with some hidden narrative to fulfill, yet you introduced the narrative into this thread.
The knee-jerk reaction is yours.
This isn't a treatment, or at least there's very little reason to think it is at this point. If hospitals are discontinuing use of dangerous drugs with no credible evidence of efficacy, then, yeah, I can live with that. Await real trials, see if it actually does anything useful.
Reality seems to have a strong anti-trump bias
What on earth does a failure of chloroquine treatments in Sweden have to do with Trump?
Trump has been pushing chloroquine as a miracle cure on no evidence, so presumably for a certain sort of person, criticising chloroquine is tantamount to criticising Dear Leader himself.
Trump has cited a drug used in South Korea, it is not a miracle drug but a current practice. My question is, why people are so excited that one hospital decided to stop using it? How about the other 99% that did not experience the same?
I wonder when the Y-Combinator has become such a hate filled place.
No one is happy in this comment section about there being downsides to a treatment. The majority are dissatisfied that treatment is being used because of hearsay and not scientifically tested, which puts huge doubts on our healthcare system. Furthermore, no one mentioned Trump.
