Last Thursday, Bayer announced that they were donating 3 million tablets of chloroquine phosphate to the US government. The pharmaceutical giant has been using these tablets to treat malaria. Chloroquine phosphate, known as Resochin, has been evaluated to see if this medicine can combat Covid-19. From early lab testing, Resochin has been receiving positive results.
However, the drug has not been approved. Nevertheless, that did not stop President Trump from talking up chloroquine. As a result, people from all over the world have been using chloroquine with dire results. Over the weekend, many people in Lagos, Nigeria have been poisoned after taking the tablets. These tablets are more available in Africa due to malaria being confined to that continent. Three people have overdosed and died in Nigeria.
Unfortunately, a man in Phoenix took President Trump’s advice and took chloroquine phosphate. which is also used to clean aquarium fish tanks, and died after self-medicating. Please do not listen to President Trump for medical advice or for any other type of advice. Do not take chloroquine.
The reason why Bayer has so many surplus Resochin tablets is due to malaria now being totally resistant to chloroquine (Pg. 9 on this link from WHO). This is simply a quick money grab from Bayer. Do not take chloroquine because it could possibly kill you. Remember what Bayer did to people during World War II. Do not let them kill you.
During these difficult times, many companies and individuals will try to take advantage of this situation.
Yes, it is sad. People are selling hand sanitizer for two to three times the normal price.
There is reports that the medicine which suggested by Trump (Chloroquine) , by using this one died one recovered
That is true – one died and one is still in the hospital. However, there is no way you should take something that only work half of the time. Half of the people would be dead
Here’s an irresponsible attitude. You cannot recommend something that has not been proven to be 100%. There is no specific effective medicine yet. No Bayer is trying to kill us! And the statements of incompetent personalities.
Yes, that is true. You know about Bayer – Germany is not that far from Spain
I do not understand you my friend you have so many negative things from Bayer ….. Bayer is one of the best and most recognized factories in Europe for the production of medicines
Bayer should not have bought Monsanto. They lost all favor with me then.
And they still have a good football club
Yes, I like Bayer Leverkusen although they do not play Leon Bailey enough. I just have my personal issue with Bayer now.
