When I miss your posts, it's my loss.
In fact, chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine are known to cause cardiovascular toxicity and previous studies have shown that macrolides can increase the risk of sudden cardiac death.
I don't understand why it is surprising that the combination would lead to cardiac problems. It's really a sad state of affairs when science becomes the victim of politics. But then, we could have a conversation with countless scientists through the ages (including Galileo) and hear the same refrain.
I couldn't sign in on Hivesigner to comment and vote on STEMsocial.
I believe that, especially initially, while scientists were looking for therapies that could safeguard the lungs, someone underestimated the possible cardio-vascular involvement.
It was a serious mistake and in fact around this solution there has always been a veil of justified skepticism.
Certainly politics and economic interests, as you said, also played a fundamental role in this case.
I'm glad you considered the post interesting, I'm always flattered by your compliments...thank you very much! 🤗
