The story of the HCQ treatment during this pandemic is one of the most irrational things that I have seen. Are all of the doctors who have seen incredible success with it lying? What would be their motive? What would they have to gain? There are thousands of success stories with the HCQ treatment. Entire nations are now using it.... are their doctors idiots or do they know less than journalists?
It is dumbfounding to me how this story has been covered. A treatment for the disease with a high success rate (nothing is perfect) would be the best news possible. I guess that is the answer....
On top of that, we have a full court press by a large pharmaceutical company for their new drug. I hope and pray it works! That would be good news, but the promotion of one seems to involve the denigrating of the other.
I have a background in biology/chemistry. I don’t claim any expertise and don’t use my degree in my current occupation, but I can think critically and evaluate information on my own. I have told my family if they get sick with this to demand the HCQ treatment immediately. Document the response. If they are refused ask for a second opinion immediately. Seek a third if necessary.
I hope ALL of these drugs work as a treatment. I definitely do not trust the media. In fact, if the NYT badmouths something than I am all for it and I am on solid ground given the quality of their reporting the last 3 years.
“The story of the HCQ treatment during this pandemic is one of the most irrational things that I have seen. “
I agree completely. It is nothing less than a crime against humanity being carried out by people fighting the use of this drug.
