Remember these chuckleheads believe the vaccine is poison and you gotta be careful and they put this stuff into themselves. Apparently research is listening to Joe’s podcast.
Anybody that takes medical advice from Joe Rogan deserves whatever malady or health problem they get. Literal leopardsatemyface…
“I don’t want none of that vaccine. You don’t know what’s in it!” - A guy at work on his cigarette break.
I saw a vegan smoking once who said something similar, it was hilarious.
I’m an off and on again smoker myself, and whilst I haven’t memorised all 5k+ chems in em, I sure as shit know “what’s in em”. Nicotine, which is what I desire and it is actually fairly innocuous, plus a shitload of supercharged death causing molecules. Cos I’m not an idiot and can look shit up. The ingredients for the vaccines were public knowledge. Google that shit. Still not sure about any of em? Guarantee either you or someone you know knows someone who can help…
“What do you have to lose?”
Umm. Their lives, apparently? Such an irresponsible statement.
Natural Selection
Generally yes, but there’s cases where parents gave this shit to their kids too.
Technically, that still serves to remove their genes from the pool.

Maybe you should think twice before posting this kind of uncompassionate drivel.
Some of these people died because they trusted the prescription from their doctor. Not everybody is able to read and understand scientific literature, and they might have to rely on the authority of someone they trust. Some doctors believed, against all evidence, that this was the right thing to prescribe and some patients took their word for it.
Which doctors were prescribing this shit?
That figure stems from a study published in the Nature scientific journal in 2021 which reported an 11 percent increase in the mortality rate, linked to its prescription against COVID-19, because of the potential adverse effects like heart rhythm disorders, and its use instead of other effective treatments.
So I think what they are reporting is an estimate of people who died of COVID whilst taking this stuff and so did not undertake other forms of treatment.
I don’t think they are saying that most of these people died as a direct result of taking the drug. (e.g. overdosing)., despite what the headline suggests.
Not quite. The drug causes heart irregularities in some people at therapeutic doses, and this killed some of those 17k people. It just doesn’t quantify it here.
The study does quantify the cardiac risk from HCQ. Those causes of death are included in the all-causes mortality rate previously determined by a separate meta analysis
If you read the original study, those causes are included.
The amount of people not reading the article or the study is astounding.
This is not about Trump.
This is not about your conservative uncle.
This is not about America only.This is about off label prescribing in ICU and ERs early in the pandemic with low evidence (theoretical pathways) in six countries which either gave explicit approval or unclear guidance that was interpreted as approval. It goes on to suggest that in a similar emergency future, the state agencies sould do better.
In the absence of restriction, the number of expected HCQ-related deaths is likely to be directly related to the promotion of its prescription by scientists, physicians and health agencies. In February and March 2020, the use of this treatment was widely promoted based on preliminary reports suggesting a potential efficacy against COVID-19 [80]. For instance, the use of HCQ markedly increased from mid-March to mid-April 2020 [81], [82] in France before a temporary recommendation supporting its use by the State Council was rapidly rejected [83]. Similarly, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted a temporary emergency use authorisation for HCQ on March 28th 2020, which was finally revoked on June 15th 2020 [84]. In India, HCQ was also prescribed as a curative treatment to patients with COVID-19 and as a prophylactic treatment for front-line workers based on public authority guidance [85]. Conversely, the British government promoted HCQ use only within clinical trials, explaining the absence of cohort studies reporting the use of HCQ in the United Kingdom in the present study [86]. Consistently, a cohort of a multinational network showed a wide variation in the use of HCQ between countries, with 85% in Spain, 14% in the USA and less than 2% in China [80]. The rush to administer this treatment caused supply shortages in community pharmacies, forcing the implementation of dispensing restrictions [82]. Finally, the results of observational studies and randomized trials in May and June 2020, respectively, convincingly demonstrated that HCQ was ineffective and led to an increase in adverse events [4], [5], [12], [66], [73].
This is the main point : the breach of the trust we could have in state agencies and doctors. Hopefully the lesson stick this time.
But I’m not allowed to add caffeine powder to my yogurt anymore because one idiot died 🙄
Who’s stopping you?
FDA banned pure/high concentration caffeine powder because people died from improper measurement. I think you can still find lower concentration caffeine powders.
How much do you need?!? I got some shit called Apex Drive Tiger’s Blood on Amazon, and I can’t even handle a whole scoop in my beverage.
Is it enough to kill two and a half men?
I require the world to vibrate before I can stand my morning meetings
Damn, that’s obnoxious.
Yeah I personally think it’s excessive especially when there are so many other much more dangerous things still being sold.
We generally only ban things once we have real-would evidence that it can kill you (in the form of people dying), and we really only care if it kills you quickly.
Broken teeth from eating a yougurt with 90% raw coffee beans.
Stupid is as stupid does.
That’s more then all Vaccines COMBINED! Don’t let our Kids get Vaxxed! Hydrochloroquine them instead!
Reminds me of the parents who left their baby with the grandparents and the grandparents gave the baby ivermectin to ‘protect’ them from COVID.
Hospital couldn’t save the poor kid.
Former US President Donald Trump said: ‘What do you have to lose? Take it.’
As a proud and patriotic French, I can’t let the murican brag about their (former) President without bragging about our former and current President whom happen to be a very good epidemiologist :
Today his profile rose even higher, as French President Emmanuel Macron traveled to Marseille to meet Raoult, a hospital director and researcher who led the two trials. Macron did not comment after the meeting, but the rendezvous, initiated by Macron, was a clear sign of Raoult’s newfound political clout. Jean-Paul Hamon, president of the Federation of Doctors of France, one of many scientists and doctors critical of the meeting, called it “showbiz politics.”
A survey released by French polling institute IFOP on 6 April revealed that 59% of the French population believes chloroquine is effective against the new coronavirus. Confidence in the drugs is higher on the far right and far left, and reached 80% among sympathizers of the “yellow vest” movement that staged massive protests against Macron’s economic policy in 2018 and 2019. Support is also very high, at 74%, in the Marseille region.
Karine Lacombe, head of infectious diseases at the Saint Antoine Hospital in Paris, has said on French TV that she and her team have received repeated “physical threats” for refusing to prescribe chloroquine; she said she has also seen many falsified prescriptions for the drug. Other doctors have reported similar experiences. The pressure comes on top of the stress caused by shortages of protective equipment, diagnostic tests, and medical staff.
Macron is an excellent epidemiologist, he read a lot about it…

Donald Trump should be charged for those deaths. Sadly, it is unlikely that the families that took his advice would take out a class action. As to his comment about what have you got to lose? The court or any reasonable party simply has to read the patient information leaflet.
Donald Trump should be charged for those deaths.
To be fair, it’s not entirely his fault that those individuals made poor choices. Yet, his actions were pretty awful, especially considering that those who passed away probably supported him by voting
It’s always an interesting discussion when we raise the question of:
If people who are born with disabilities and intellectual impairments get special treatment, what is the threshold for being so stupid that you can’t be considered responsible for your actions (or be expected not to be manipulated or misled)?
There is a strong argument that people who aren’t that smart can’t really be held accountable for their actions, as its beyond their control.
This was actually an argument used in the criminal defense of some of the capitol rioters lol
I’m going to be that guy to say… The world is better off from it.
Nah, if it was only the stupid doing it to themselves that would be fine, but as someone on the medical field, you have no idea of how many cases I saw of little kids and elderly patients who were fed those pills by their loved ones.
It’s astonishing how much aoe dmg stupidity does.
One of my relatives did the same when I tested positive, even writing an rx for me and really pushing it. Never took any and this story makes me even more glad I didn’t listen to the facebook research
There’s always going to be innocent casualties. With the sheer stupidity these people possess, and the legality of them being able to breed- there is no way to avoid it.
the legality of them being able to breed
A eugenics comment? This isn’t r/antinatalism is it?
Many good people aren’t that savvy in all fields and have a peer pressure to try this and that, especially when disinformation is louder than truth. They can have good reasons like not making their fragile elderly ill, and there’s a gossiped ultimate cure to that. Can you blame them they choose it? They are a small part of that problem under the towering issue of grifters, fakes, conspiracies running amok.
Yeah. I can blame them. It’s 2024. We are so technology-ladened that a wealth of information is available to anyone with half a brain to look for it. There no excuse for ignorance anymore.
First Death came for dummies. but I didn’t care for I’m not one of them.
There are conditions making them so completely misguided, bigoted, stupid. And, in a sense, they’d die off eventually, like we all would. But these profitable institutes of misinformation wouldn’t, so there would be even more of them with each gen if you let them thrive.
Individual cells deformed by radiation carry a little weight over body disfunction. You can act like a leicocyte and fight them. But the source of radiation wouldn’t go away even if you slay all of them.
Agree to disagree.

I have nothing against a person facing almost certain death throwing everything at a problem. If someone would throw me off a cliff I would spend my last few moments trying to learn how to fly while offering prayers to every god I can think of. What I have problem with is people who don’t do what they are supposed to do.
The problem is that loudspeakers over their heads are screaming they should use X to be safe, and that they don’t need masks or whatever. Unpowering these loudspeakers can make a difference for many people, families.
I made a loaf of bread last night that tastes great but it is not the shape I want.
What’s you fav shape thoght?
I pity the children that died from this nonsense. As for the other ones, not so much.
“COULD HAVE”
I’m so sick of this sort of reporting. Too many “maybe”, “might have”, “could be”. it’s just fear mongering.
‘Could have’ is due to the range of potential estimates. The confidence interval was between 6420–20294 deaths.
Lol, I love it when people get all worked up and it turns out they are upset for idiotic reasons.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Nearly 17,000 people may have died after taking hydroxycholoroquine during the first wave of COVID, according to a study by French researchers.
The anti-malaria drug was prescribed to some patients hospitalized with COVID-19 during the first wave of the pandemic, “despite the absence of evidence documenting its clinical benefits,” the researchers point out in their paper, published in the February issue of Biomedicine & Pharmacotherapy.
Now, researchers have estimated that some 16,990 people in six countries — France, Belgium, Italy, Spain, Turkey and the U.S. — may have died as a result.
Researchers from universities in Lyon, France, and Québec, Canada, used that figure to analyze hospitalization data for COVID in each of the six countries, exposure to hydroxychloroquine and the increase in the relative risk of death linked to the drug.
In fact, they say the figure may be far higher given the study only concerns six countries from March to July 2020, when the drug was prescribed much more widely.
Hydroxychloroquine gained prominence partly due to French virologist Didier Raoult who had headed the Méditerranée Infection Foundation hospital, but was later removed amid growing controversy.
The original article contains 260 words, the summary contains 187 words. Saved 28%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
and with some luck, they completely removed themselves from the gene pool
Oh wtf this was one of the drugs people used to poison themselves with? I was prescribed this a month ago because the rheumatologist told me is the safest drug for auto immune issues although I still need to take mehtylprednisolone every few months due to spinal inflammation that messes with nerves.
Don’t worry, a key part of toxicity is the dosage. If you’re following a prescription from an actual doctor instead of taking handfuls of horse medication at the behest of extremist politicians you’re fine.
