highly respected Cedar Sinai Hospital MD of rheumatology writes letter to FDA supporting safety of hydroxychloroquine

to summarize, a leading rheumatologist (arthritis specialist) at Cedar Sinai hospital .. New York, I think, has had decades of experience with hydroxychloroquine

below is my recollections of Sean Hannity's description of the letter on his radio program yesterday

in his practice the doctor treats around 2,000 lupus patients, most are taking HCQ, long term

he states that the risk for using HCQ over a short 1 to 2 month period is nil, zero, does not exist, at the dosages that would be used for covid-19 ( an initial 600 mg 'loading dose' and afterward 400 mg a day, I believe he said )

zero risk, got that ? he's used this for decades, thousands of patients

never a case in which one of his patients was hospitalized

this was stated in a letter he wrote for Dr. Oz describing his experiences with the drug. Dr. Oz then followed up with other rheumatologists and they confirmed these findings

very important for understanding the risk to benefit balance being considered here

trump was correct .. you have nothing to lose .. this is confirmed now by doctors with the most direct experience in using this drug

guess what ? its rumored HCQ might not be safe for patients with a heart condition. thats bullshit, the Dr. said ... for this kind of use there is not even a need to take an EKG

its rumored HCQ might not be safe for diabetic patients, similarly bullshit according to the doctor
