Partly so but also note that themoney spent on TV advertising by the pharmaceutical industry is eye popping.

The industry does not intend to let you take a $.50 pill when they can make billions from their meds.

No TV station is going to turn away that kind of money.

I have read a few studies that indicate that if the HCQ “cocktail” protocol is begun within the first 24 hours of admission to a hospital, there is a better than 50% chance the patient recovers and leaves the hospital alive and well. I don’t remember which exact studies they were, because I was delving into quite a few at the time.

“If there is an effective treatment the pandemic is over and the economy recovers period!!”

It’ll happen in January. The libs will ride in on their flying horse and wave their magic wand and all will be healed. And it will be on every front page, every billboard, every liberal tv and radio station, and screamed from the street corners instead of asking for handouts. (The beggars will be put aside and not have enough room to stand there after they made their vote)

So it will go bottom to top on every media source. They want to get re-elected in 2022 and 24.

Oh, and if you check the market, you’ll find the economy has already recovered. My wife’s portfolio has already surpassed the earlier numbers before the attack. And even the New York Times is getting scared. Just another thing the media is hiding. In an article from them, right next to their crossword puzzles:

“On Friday, economists expected the numbers for May to show millions more jobs lost and a jump in the unemployment rate. Turns out, the data showed a 2.5 million rise in jobs and a drop in the unemployment rate.”

But what really must have galled them is adding:

“The unemployment rate for black and Asian workers continued to rise.”

That’ll leave a bruise. Bet they choked on that one.

That may well be true but it doesn't tell you anything about HCQ unless you know the percentage of people who recover without it.

Every MSM person who has done this has blood on his hands, no doubt about it. If they believed in God, which they don’t, they’d be very worried about the day they meet Him face to face. Just before their quick trip to hell, they’ll have to explain their actions.

"If given during this window, most infections did not progress into the severe, lethal second stage of the disease. This is at the heart of the ignorant pro-HCQ argument. Most patients don't proceed to the second stage no matter what they do or don't take. You could give every positive patient a Flintstones vitamin and have fabulous anecdotal evidence of how it prevented progression of the disease. Just like HCQ"

Anti HCQ information is the lie. Many real doctors treating real patients with HCQ have confirmed it's effective and just as importantly comes with almost ZERO risk. Why rule out a treatment that could be life saving if there is near zero risk to the patient?

If you want proof you have to look at what was known about HCQ BEFORE covid 19, when it was not a political tool. No study post Covid can be proven to be without political bias but if we look to known facts about HCQ before Covid we can be fairly assured this is unbiased information.

So what did we know for sure about HCQ before Covid 19?

1. We know this is a very very safe drug. It has virtually zero risk of major side effects. It's likely more safe than a bottle of Tylenol. This is backed up by some half a century of widespread use. It has been given to military personnel in huge numbers with almost zero negative consequences. This fact alone is proof nearly every negative thing we have heard about HCQ is a lie and was politically motivated. There simply was no such evidence of HCQ being dangerous for sixty years before Covid 19. This fact IS the smoking gun.

2. Was there any indication that HCQ was effective against Corona type viruses before Covid 19? Yes there was, quite a bit. This is the second smoking gun. We already knew this drug was effective at treating corona type viruses. It was only after Covid 19 became a political weapon did the lies about it having no effect came about.

Simple logic proves the lies about HCQ. The people that spread these lies and denied access to this drug should be held accountable.

So where are the studies showing patients taking HCQ have better outcomes than those who don't?

Sure, but I can tell you that I’d like to just see people getting better from CoVid19 period.

Any study conducted today must be considered suspect and likely biased for political reasons. So you are asking the wrong question . You should be asking where are the studies showing taking HCQ kills people and is very dangerous? We know by 60 years of widespread use these studies don’t exist and HCQ is completely safe.

Ask yourself would you decline to take HCQ based on what you are being told today?

Btw, correction...... It’s 1000 IU of Vitamin D not 1000 mg. 1000 mg of Vitamin D would probably kill you.

Unfortunately all we seem to have is anecdotes (a very large number of anecdotes) thanks to the worlds English Language press going bat guano because Trump gave the treatment a mild endorsement. Do I wish there were proper and easily found efficacy studies? Yes. But please stop claiming that the drug is unsafe, it was first tested over 50 years ago and found to have fewer and less severe side effects than the primary alternatives for what the initial Efficacy and safety studies tested it against: Chloroquinine as a treatment for malaria, which I believe is better that chewing Quinoa bark.

This segment, from Levin’s show, tonight, is very worth the watch....

Renowned epidemiologist sees ‘massive disinformation campaign’ against hydroxychloroquine

Aug. 24, 2020 - 6:30 - Dr. Harvey Risch, professor of epidemiology in the Department of Epidemiology and Public Health at the Yale School of Public Health, joins Mark Levin on ‘Life, Liberty & Levin.’

https://video.foxnews.com/v/6183899066001

I didn’t realize that FRAUDci pulled this same thing, with an inexpensive treatment to treat AIDS infections, decades ago!! Same lines....not enough blind studies, yada, yada.

Much more is covered in this great interview, with Dr Risch.

One Key Study In the Article “Two recent, large, early-use clinical trials have been conducted by the Henry Ford Health System and at Mount Sinai showing a 51 percent and 47 percent lower mortality, respectively, in hospitalized patients given hydroxychloroquine.”
