Then we find out one of the persons who is being pushed out as a "hero" by the Washington Post in this paragraph:

___________________________________________________________________________________

Rick Bright, former director of the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority, told Congress Thursday that political pressure forced "dozens of federal scientists" to spend a harried 48-hour stretch rushing to put together a protocol for approving hydroxychloroquine for widespread use in covid-19 patients. Ultimately, that approach wasn't taken. The FDA issued an emergency authorization for hospitalized covid-19 patients who cannot participate in a clinical trial.

Bull. All the other countries are using it. Corona is sort of like strep. Lots of different stuff will kill it. Hydroxy too. But big pharma doesn’t want that answer. It won’t make them any money.

This is the one that has been safely used for decades, right?

I read the first two “studies”. They were both DESIGNED to have HCL fail.
So yes, if you give a patient on the verge of death HCL then it is associated with death.

I submit that we CANNOT accept as our president a D if one (God Forbid) wins in November

The win could not be considered legitimate when the press is part of the dem party.

I don’t know what the answer is and hopefully, and I think so, one will not have to be found as Trump will win.

But come on guys this is a joke.

This country as a republic is becoming a joke.

MSM is state dictated, the deep state controls so much..and so many more things make us less a republic with each year that goes by.

Even with Trump winning things might get ugly.

But at least we will have the POTUS on our side.

This is all so out of hand

Hydroxychloroquine was approved for medical use in the United States in 1955. It is on the World Health Organization’s List of Essential Medicines, the safest and most effective medicines needed in a health system. This from Wikipedia

Rigged study - used it on people too late - you have to use it earlier on, used it on really old people - it doesn’t work on really old people, ran by a guy pushing a different and very expensive drug

This is what Big Pharma and deep state propaganda looks like. Over 100 countries rushing to use it and are doing so successfully. Prescriptions in France have increased 7000%. Not a lie typo.

Ha! There is always a risk to every drug. And everyone who has died since March had Covid on their death certificate.

Man, I hate the title. Instead of “promoted” why not tell the truth: “On the basis of information provided by doctors treating COVID-19 patients in the field, President Trump announced their findings and suggests...” He “promoted” it based upon the advice given to him by doctors. This sounds like he’s selling it out of the back of a horse-drawn wagon in the Old West.

Yes, it was perfectly safe for even long term use until President Trump mentioned it. At that point the drug became very dangerous.

Hydroxychloroquine has fewer side effects than Chloroquine, which itself has a low enough risk profile that the CDC recommends that people going on vacation to certain popular tropical locations take it to reduce the risk of contracting malaria.

The leftist hate for President Trump, and their willingness to lie and mislead the public in pursuit of their goals of political power is endless.

Yep, the other word you often see in association with Trump is “He touted”. There’s also the pejorative — “Magic Bullet” being thrown about by the MSM. Just use Google or Bing and you’ll find out.

Not only will be expected to accept and comply, but we will not be allowed to complain. The media will be fully of happy stories and wonkish interviews. Taxes, slavery, and abortion will go up and they can get back to what freakish creatures can do and what they call themselves. Then about our guns....

Good personal doc tors know their patients and the risks for each patient. They should prescribe in in their own best judgment.
