QUACKS AND FOOLISH POLITICANS MUDDYING THE WATERS Hydroxychloroquine is a poor coronavirus treatment but a perfect parable for our times [url=https://www.abc.net.au/news/science/2020-08-01/hydroxychloroquine-coronavirus-drug-now-right-wing-ideology/12510812]https://www.abc.net.au/news/science/2020-08-01/hydroxychloroquine-coronavirus-drug-now-right-wing-ideology/12510812[/url] Liberal MP Craig Kelly said Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews could be jailed for his stance on hydroxychloroquine. An expert says there's 'zero chance' "With the current international evidence available, continuing to ban this drug is negligent, it falls below the standard of care that would be taken by a reasonable person — and creates a high risk or death," Mr Kelly wrote. "Every office holder in Victoria that continues to ban the use of Hydroxychloroquine, could be risking 25 years in jail under the state's new laws." The text of the post has since been updated to remove any reference to Mr Andrews, stating instead that "continuing to deny the right of medical professionals prescribing this drug to a patient" arguably constitutes conduct that in some states "has criminal penalties that carries [sic] severe penalties of up to 25 years' imprisonment for individuals". Slater & Gordon industrial and employment principal lawyer Carita Kazakoff told Fact Check there was "zero chance" of Mr Andrews being charged for manslaughter as a result of any decision to ban or limit the use of hydroxychloroquine. "Workplace manslaughter laws are designed to ensure that employers and organisations who exercise control over a workplace ensure the safety of those in that workplace," she said in an email. "While it's conceivable that the Premier could be a 'duty holder' under the Act in relation to a workplace where he supervises or manages people, it is not relevant to the context Craig Kelly has described." In March, the Therapeutic Goods Administration placed limitations on the use of hydroxychloroquine and recommended against its use for treating COVID-19 outside of clinical trials. "Given the limited evidence for effect against COVID-19, as well as the risk of significant adverse effects, the TGA strongly discourages the use of hydroxychloroquine outside of its current indications at this time other than in a clinical trial setting or in a controlled environment in the treatment of severely ill patients in hospital." Meanwhile, the World Health Organisation and Melbourne's Peter Doherty Institute for Infection and Immunity have discontinued their trials of the drug as a COVID-19 treatment as evidence mounts that it is ineffective. When questioned by reporters about Mr Kelly's posts, Prime Minister Scott Morrison said he would not "get onto what people talk about on Facebook" and asked Acting Chief Medical Officer Paul Kelly to comment on the use of hydroxychloroquine as a treatment for COVID-19. "In terms of its use for this particular disease … it doesn't work," Professor Kelly said. << FURTHERMORE , PEOPLE WHO TAKE IT RISK BEING KILLED BY IT , EVEN UNDER MEDICAL SUPERVISION , BUT THAT DOESN’T STOP PALMER FROM SPOUKING THE HUGE CONSIGNMENT HE BOUGHT AND BROUHT INTO THE COUNTRY AS A PUBLICITY STUNT >> [/QUOTE] [url=https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-08-07/coronacheck-craig-kelly-daniel-andrews-hydroxychloroquine-covid/12530576]https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-08-07/coronacheck-craig-kelly-daniel-andrews-hydroxychloroquine-covid/12530576[/url] BREACHES QUARANTINE HOTEL BREAKDOWN - Victorian coronavirus hotel quarantine nurse alleges DHHS relaxed infection controls to appease guests [url=https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-08-10/victoria-coronavirus-hotel-quarantine-nurse-alleges-breaches/12539382]https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-08-10/victoria-coronavirus-hotel-quarantine-nurse-alleges-breaches/12539382[/url] Police fine 276 people for breaching lockdown restrictions [url=https://www.msn.com/en-au/news/melbourne/police-fine-276-people-for-breaching-lockdown-restrictions/ar-BB17LBfs?ocid=msedgntp]https://www.msn.com/en-au/news/melbourne/police-fine-276-people-for-breaching-lockdown-restrictions/ar-BB17LBfs?ocid=msedgntp[/url] [/QUOTE]
