This is the sort of statement that drives me to google. I googled <spontaneous cancer in mice> - there are a lot of hits. There are many publications which predate the advent of the knockout mouse which address spontaneous cancers in mice. I selected a single example as evidence that mice do get cancer. This paper, which is actually titled Spontaneous Cancer In Mice, is more than a century old, and states:
The age of the paper is such that I’m happy that it predates any specialised breeding of mice for experimental purposes. But there is also this paper which specifies that wild mice were studied.
So you were wrong. OK, thanks for being big enough to admit that.
And…?
What’s your point?
That’s true of a LOT of drugs. Hey, did you know thalidomide does NOT cause limb deformities in fetal rodents? It sure does in fetal humans, though! As just one example.
MOST drugs investigated for therapeutic uses for ANY malady turn out to not work or have unacceptable problems. That’s why we do testing in the first place. The drop-out rate is not a bug, it’s a feature, and it’s there to weed out problems. A high failure rate means the clinical testing is doing its job.
Of course, anyone with a life expectancy of less than 6 months can just opt for hospice and painkillers - I’ve had a couple relatives/friends who did exactly that. Maybe it’s a problem with the “war on cancer” metaphor and being “brave” and “strong” and “never give up” that’s a big factor here instead of people coming to grips with terminal illness and focusing on quality of life rather than quantity.
Go back and do better research. You are very wrong on that.
Old news - they had those back in the 20th Century.
I just wish that someone would have the courtesy to show some sympathy for that poor snake. I can hear it screaming as the toddler work to wring it out for the one last drop of Donnie’s Majical Hydroxyoil.
Hydroxychloroquine can cause an encyclopedic catalog of weird side effects (see this lengthy list from Mayo Clinic) including bizarre neurological, psychological, and psychiatric side effects. Here are just a few from the list:
