One of my daughters, aged 39, and her husband both got the virus and got sick. Flu-like symptoms. But here is the thing: They are political liberals.

So, I asked her if she got her doctor to prescribe hydroxychloroquine and she snapped back that she will not take that stuff.

She’ll be fine because of her age and her diet, etc. But her attitude proves that politics could have killed her (if she was not so healthy).

don’t think Dr. Kaur specifically mentions zinc, but she might be suggesting it when she says “combo”:

30 Aug: Sky News Australia: Outsiders: Clinical trials show Hydroxychloroquine is ‘safe’ with no reported toxicity
Concerned Ontario Doctors President Dr Kulvinder Kaur Gill says contrary to the media narrative, potential COVID-19 treatment Hydroxychloroquine is a “safe and generic medication” approved 65 years ago which is sold over the counter.

Dr Gill pointed out while Hydroxychloroquine as been criminalised in some Australian states, it has been clearly listed on the World Health Organisation’s page of essential medications for an extended period of time.
“When used in the appropriate dose, there has been no reported cardiac toxicity in all the clinical trials and studies done in COVID-19 patients to date,” she said.

“A study published recently in the Journal of Electrocardiology found no clinically significant changes in the non-ICU COVID-19 patients when they were treated with a five-day Azithromycin-Hydroxychloroquine combo”.
She also highlighted a “peer reviewed systematic publication that actually showed that HCQ is protective to the heart as opposed to being harmful”.

The intervention of government into the medical sector which has made the use of hydroxychloroquine unlawful in some developed countries is unprecedented and reveals how politicised the pandemic has become, Dr Gill said.
“Doctors have always had the ability to prescribe existing approved medications for non-indicative conditions”.

Hydroxychloroquine is safe if you watch what other medications you take and your overall health

Chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine have major drug interactions with other medicines that can put a person at an even greater risk of an abnormal heart rhythm. For example, a commonly used antibiotic, azithromycin, is also being investigated for a possible benefit in treating COVID-19, but it has a known major drug interaction with chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine. Whenever a new drug is to be added, the risk versus benefit of a person’s existing therapy must be re-evaluated. In some cases, usual medications can be stopped temporarily, and chloroquine or hydroxychloroquine could be started. In other cases, it would be harmful to stop usual medications, and chloroquine or hydroxychloroquine could not be used.

Each situation is different and has to be decided on a case-by-case basis.
