They don’t want this thing cured too early. – Thursday evening, a spokesman for Stanford University Medical Center appeared on Tucker Carlson’s Fox News program to tout a long-used prescription drug called hydroxycholoroquine (HC) as a safe and effective cure for the coronavirus:
Michael Coudrey ✔ @MichaelCoudrey NEW DATA: A French study has demonstrated evidence that the combination of Hydroxychloroquine & Azithromycin are highly effective in treating Covid-19.
The patients enrolled in the study showed complete viral eradication around the 5th day of treatment. https://twitter.com/michaelcoudrey/status/1240143162510893058 …

Initial tests show that on a dose of 600mg, 90% of infected COVID-19 patients tested negative in just 6 days.

Subsequent to that announcement, detailed in Friday’s Campaign Update, the public was informed of other successful trials and use of this treatment in China and South Korea. The President himself talked about the potential for HC to be a game-changer in fighting the Chinese virus.
Presto! A new corrupt media narrative is born. Trump likes something, it must be bad. If it’s good for the American people, it’s got to be hella bad for the corrupt news media and their Democrat masters. Thus, now we are seeing pieces like this one from Bloomberg pop up all over the corrupt media complex:
Virus Drug Touted by Trump, Musk Can Kill With Just Two Gram Dose The drug touted by the U.S. President Donald Trump as a possible line of treatment against the coronavirus comes with severe warnings in China and can kill in dosages as little as two grams.
China, where the deadly pathogen first emerged in December, recommended the decades-old malaria drug chloroquine to treat infected patients in guidelines issued in February after seeing encouraging results in clinical trials. But within days, it cautioned doctors and health officials about the drug’s lethal side effects and rolled back its usage.
This came after local media reported that a Wuhan Institute of Virology study found that the drug can kill an adult just dosed at twice the daily amount recommended for treatment, which is one gram.
As the drug hasn’t been approved by the U.S. Food And Drug Administration to treat the disease known as Covid-19, the Chinese experience may be useful as the American regulator studies the medication which has been endorsed by Trump as well as Tesla Inc. chief executive officer Elon Musk.
[End]
It isn’t until the 9th and 10th paragraphs in the piece that we see that an honest news organization would have focused on the undeniable fact that HC has in fact been highly effective in China in treating the virus, just as it has been in other parts of the world:
Chloroquine was among the first group of therapies Chinese scientists identified as being effective in curbing the new coronavirus. Clinical trials on about 130 patients demonstrated the drug’s ability to reduce the severity of the illness and speed up virus clearance, according to China’s Ministry of Sciences and Technology.
Chroloquine phosphate was officially recommended on Feb. 19 in the Covid-19 treatment guidelines published by China’s National Health Commission, along with a few other drugs such as AbbVie Inc.’s Kaletra and flu drug arbidol as antiviral treatments for patients. The commission recommended no more than a 10-day course of chloroquine for adult patients at 500mg — half a gram — twice a day.
[End]
Oh, you don’t say. So, what is the basis for the irresponsibly sensationalist and misleading headline? Why the final paragraph, of course:
A woman in Wuhan proved how lethal chloroquine can be when it’s taken beyond the recommended dose. On Feb. 25, Shanghai-based The Paper reported that she took 1.8 grams of the drug she ordered online after suspecting she had the coronavirus. She did not, but the drug caused her to develop malignant cardiac arrhythmic, which can cause sudden death, and she was admitted to the intensive care unit.
[End]
So, here we have a woman who took almost FOUR TIMES THE RECOMMENDED DOSE of HC who developed a heart arrhythmia as a result. Go figure.
Folks, ANY drug taken in massive quantities far above the recommended dosage can be lethal.
This is what your corrupt news media does in its zeal to try to damage the hated Trump. It is the kind of thing it does every day in its desperation to attract clicks to its websites. It is incredibly irresponsible and frankly unpatriotic in a time of national emergency.
These people are sick, and not due of a virus.
That is all.

They will weaponize anything. They want to enslave us and kill those who resist.
Many drugs kill even when taken “according to the label”. For those who seem to have so much trust in FDA approval consider the following excerpt from Health Affairs.org (link to source https://www.healthaffairs.org/do/10.1377/hblog20150706.049097/full/)
But neither august institution has paid attention to the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) failure to protect the 170 million Americans who take prescription drugs from adverse reactions that are killing more than 2,400 people every week. Annually, prescription drugs cause over 81 million adverse reactions and result in 2.7 million hospitalizations.
This epidemic of harm from medications makes our prescription drugs the fourth leading cause of death in the United States. Including hospitalizations and deaths from prescribing errors, overdosing, and self-medication, drugs move up to third place.
Precious hospital beds are being filled by victims of FDA approved drug use and more people die each week from adverse reactions to prescriptions drugs than have dies from the Chi-Com virus in the US to date.
Children are waking up from nightmares. Parents are waking up to theirs. Worst case scenarios:
A well-disciplined militias needed to get together with OUR sons and daughters, nieces and nephews...in other words OUR armed forces in case SHTF by POLITICOS & PROPAGANDISTS foreign and domestic. Just in case.

Thanks Chief.
535+++++ vs. 330 MILLION
1. Supply chains opened.
Wouldn’t it be rare to take 2 grams of a drug. Aren’t they normally measured in milligrams, etc.?
Now all Americans are getting a good look at what ‘domestic’ enemies are. They are not always in the streets looting and destroying property,
or openly marching with weapons against some government agency. They work tirelessly to wound, weaken and destroy any and all parts of the tree of liberty.
“These people are sick”...
And many levels below evil. Thanks for posting/writing some optimism, possible solutions. BUMP!
They think they can stage manage everything to get Trump out. They do not care who gets hurt.
Well-stated. Domestic enemies BUMP! Take names. List grievances.
“He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us...”
What’s the problem? If followers of Comcast’s Rachel Maddow, or devotes New York Times readers, get covid and are offered this malaria drug by their doctors, they are free to say, “no Rachel and the Trimes editors prescribed me against taking it”
Better yet, the drug can be made available only to folks who don’t hate Trump. That will spare liberal covid victims of having to bruise their tender consciences by taking it
The write is confounding hydroxycholoroquine with chloroquine. Different drugs. Different side effects. The poisoned Nigerians took choloroquine under the theory that if 600 mg is therapeutic, 6000 mg is curative. Bad theory.
“the drug can kill an adult just dosed at twice the daily amount recommended for treatment, which is one gram. “
A bath will kill you if it’s an inch too high.
LOL
The Nigerian Miracle Cure!
Crafted by a prince, but made for you.
Just please to follow instructions on inclosed letter for bank payments and withdraw
The idea of giving a choice to those who need this drug seems a good one to me. If the media advises against it, let them turn it down for use on themselves & their devotees. Seems like that would serve to possibly separate the sheep from the goats.
Thank you, I’m 1 of those people who react to many drugs. 2 were A Fib trips to ER and Bentyl was Neurological before the nurse backed her cart out of the room.
Latest was Januvia, severe Hives, Predisone then drives my Blood Sugar up to high. Metformin is well known for side effects especially GI, besides being made in China and has the China Cancer agent in it. Wonder why the most used Type 2 Diabetic meds have 99% same side effects. I get told to see the Gastro, for the Reflux, swollen ankles, joint pain, muscle cramps in toes/hands + constipation are all listed side effects? Tricare took Nexium off the formulary 2 yrs ago, the OTC is a weak substitute Name brand no store brand! Duh the only new med is the ENDO’s stuff I can’t take. Or see the Cardio for the ankle swelling.
“Corrupt Media Now Working Hard to Demonize Potential Coronavirus Cure”
And I expect when they get up in the morning each one of them takes a chloroquine pill.
Okay. Actually read the whole thing. Someone overdosed on their own. Unbelievable.
I have no ill will to anyone who is seriously ill. I hope Lat gets the very best treatment available and recovers to live a full life. My reason to post is that the media publicizes these case and buries crucial clarifying information deep in the article to make us think that we are all equally at risk. There are obvious critical risk factors (some of them deriving from lifestyle choices) and they are important to avoid unnecessary public hysteria.
Contrary to Vermont Lt.’s assertion, my comment was not mean spirited, rather I was simply pointing out that the impression that an otherwise healthy, vibrant young man being on his death bed due solely to Coronavirus could be mistaken. A subsequent poster also mentioned that he also is asthmatic - an obvious critical risk factor.
So can Tylenol if mixed with alcohol. Tylenol all by itself can cause liver damage.
If a child gets a double dose of Tylenol it can kill them real quick.
