“””Andrew Cuomo, the governor of the Empire State, asked for more doses of the drug to be delivered to New York City while in the Oval Office meeting with President Donald Trump, according to Wilkie.”””


Is Cuomo trying to corner the HCQ market by asking for outrageous amounts of HCQ just like he did with ventilators?

We always need to keep in mind that Democrats will do anything to stop Trump from being reelected. If the Democrat governors grab all the HCQ then other parts of the country may not have enough.

The Media declared war on ‘we the people’ many years ago. We just haven’t accepted that cold, hard reality yet.

“too late. the “retrospective study” is already being blared from the mountaintops”

the thing is, i think conservatives and Donald Trump supporters know that the Trump Trio works as does the fake stream enemedia themselves, who to a person is guaranteed to take these drugs if they get sick; however, the people being hurt by the fake stream enemedia’s lies are the hard-core leftist and whatever part of the rest of the ignorant population that swallows their lies hook, line, and sinker ... the hard-core leftist get what they deserve and i have zero sympathy for whatever they do to themselves, but the ones that make me sad are the ignorant ones who will be hurt ...

i can tell you that personally, myself and Mrs. Catnipman are making every effort to educate any of our friends and family who might still be in doubt about these medications ... it hasn’t been a hard-sell, though ...

From the blog:
Doctors across the nation have been prescribing hydroxychloroquine but there are a number of concerns about its effectiveness and, if it proves effective,...

Get this to President Trump's staff pronto!

RE: in an interview that “Andrew Cuomo, the governor of the Empire State, asked for more doses of the drug to be delivered to New York City while in the Oval Office meeting with President Donald Trump, according to Wilkie.”

Well, he wouldn’t be asking for more doses if there was no demand from NY Physicians, wonder why his reluctance to at least show some positivity on this.

The drug “has been working on middle-age and younger veterans,” Wilkie added. By that, he meant that it was “stopping the progression of” COVID-19.

Is that an observational study or a clinical study?

The NY doctors who are banned from giving it to patients? Those doctors?

Don’t tell the liberals this. They deny it because Trump said it and for no other reason.

___________________

It was a retrospective study, not a clinical trial. And in regard to Wilkie’s statement about it working on younger veterans —

In the VA retrospective study all of the patients were male, the median age was approximately 70; two thirds were black and all of the patients were overweight (BMI above 25). The median body mass index was 30 which is considered “obese.”

Males, blacks, obesity are all indicators of poorer outcomes with covid.

Like Hydroxychloroquine, Quercetin is a zinc ionophore, for those willing to do their homework. Ionophores open the cell door for zinc, and the zinc mucks up the virus producing machinery when it gets inside.

Available to mail order from normal supplement stores.

I am not a doctor, and am making no warrantable recommendations. Do your own research.

I wonder if there is another antibiotic that would be better to use in combination? Or if just HCQ and zinc is enough.

I've read where other antibiotics were substituted. The antibiotics I believe are for secondary infections, so it would seem any one should work.

So observational and not clinical. Just like the one he's criticizing.

Gilead’s drug also costs $1000 per dose. I would check whether those politicians who dumped their stocks early also bought into Gilead.

I think the reason that many of these doctors aren’t using zinc is because they are basing their protocol on the french Dr. Raoult’s (the one that excited President Trump.)

His is just hydroxcychloroquine/Zpak

To Date: 3039 patients treated....12 deaths
