Dear Dr. Risch,

Let me 'splain for you.

CV-19 needs to be running ramped into the early Fall. That will:

  1. Have Dims demanding vote by mail in the interest of safety; and
  2. Keep the economy on its back.

All of this is designed to prevent Trump from being re-elected. You understand now?

Well Trump did not listen to Fauci when he did the HCQ/ZPak treatment.

Don’t we already have a vaccine with Hydroxychloroquine? What’s the difference between an effective prophylactic and vaccine? And it’s already approved, no side effects, what are we waiting for, media approval?

The powers that be don’t want to have a CHEAP fix. They want something new and super expensive, you know why.

Is Newsweek about to go belly-up, and throwing in with conservatives as last-ditch effort to stay alive? If President Trump wins, that is.

My wife took this stuff as a malaria prophilactic when she had to go to some SH**hole country in west Africa. No problem.
What I read about this stuff early-on was that it shortened the illness; e.g., instead of feeling like you WANT to die for 10 days you feel better in 6.
But, Trump touted it, so it must be bad and has been fought on that basis only.
Saw a video day before where a doc had prescribed the drug — and got a call from the pharmacist asking Why. He told them that the Why was between him and the patient and the pharmacist to mind his own business. Pharmacist went away and filled the prescription.

“This could have been over in April had it not been for a corrupt Dr Fauci and others at the FDA, CDC, etc., and a hysterical media bent on deception.”

35 year-old son came down with Covid, including respiratory symptoms on Friday last week, took HCQ, azithromycin and zinc. Cough was gone in 24 hours and he was well within 3 days. He had fever and feeling very sick. He had the medication on hand. He said the only mistake he made was he did not take the proper dosage until the 2nd day, when he did- he got well fast! He can’t believe this medication is being withheld from people.

“But why is this happening?

Mark Levin had a woman doctor on last night who gave very detailed information about the travesty of HCQ usage being suppressed. Levin asked her if she thought it was because of President Trump recommending HCQ, but she said she thought that too, but looked up and found that it was removed for over the counter usage ( no prescription required) in several countries in early January. She implied that certain entities did not want this cheap medication to be available to the public.

WHO, Gates the chicoms etc. That cabal are the culprits in this.

We are in a war with what I suspected would be the case about two decades ago, maybe three. The young, dot com, radical, newly minted, overnight millionaires who have become old, bored, radical, know better than anybody else what is good for you radicals. They must be better than all the rest of us because they have more money than us. That is their belief I think.

That element of having more money and therefore must be smarter is the driver for all the celebrity mouthing off as well as the billionaire agenda. Even the old man Warren Buffet thinks he is qualified to tell the rest of us how to live. He just got on his bully pulpit and lectured all of us at every opportunity during his once a year attention fest centered around the Berkshire annual meeting.

Thanks SeekAndFind. Having followed early reporting on the Ford Foundaton study, my skepticism was aroused when these tests, like so many of the propaganda reports, did not include the treatment protocol element Zinc. Of course all of us have some zinc in our bodies, but more than 10 nations use the HCQ + zinc + azithromycin mixture, based upon the experimental evidence of zinc’s antiviral properties. A bottle of 100 220 mg zinc capsules costs about $10 at Amazon. One wonders if the lurking anti-Semites objected to the Jewish doctor who did his research, followed the research in Germany, India, France, South Korea, China, Brazil, ....and put his community of immunocompromised patients on the combination. Zelenko was interviewed by Rudy Giuliani, probably leading to Trump’s announcement that HCQ was a promising and effective Covid-19 Zelenko, who has cancer and one lung, has many reasons to keep his patients out of the hospital. He stresses who critical early intervention is. Respirators kill most of those who don’t get eearly treatment. Tests can take days or weeks, by which time the damage to lungs has been done.
Zelenko has been contacted by country after county, countries which aren’t fighting over control of the federal piggy bank, for guidance based upon his direct experience. In his community of 36,000 ultraorthodox Jews, with very large families and lots of elderly, 1000 were immune challenged and over 65 yo. 1000 were treated with HCQ, zinc, azithromycin. Two died, one of Leukemia and the other, 85 yo, may have had a stroke - (I don’t recall that detail.) Listen to the last Zelenko interview with Giuliani if you are curious. Kudos to the Yale epidemiologist, but why didn’t he note that the most famous protocol in the Covid -19 reportage, now called “the Zelenko Protocol”, includes zinc. Zinc is the antiviral element. Why is it not included the this Ford Foundation study as it was not included in the Veterans Admin in the New England Journal nor in the Lancet study both of which studies were later retracted for lack of supporing data and ridiculous (lethal) doses of HCQ. Good that HCQ is not being attacked; or is it? If the dozens of vaccines can claim to help half the target patients, the effectiveness of HCQ, Zinc, and Azithromicyn (a pneumonia prophylactic) is relatively comparable. Zelenko’s and Roualt’s numbers, and Singapore’s, and South Korea’s, and India’s etc. are, except for the cost, comparable. We wouldn’t want to deny CDC/NIH/FDA or WHO or Bill and Melinda, the “free” taxpayer funds they are spending to help our major media sources survive, or flourish, or funds to help them protect “The Swamp” which destruction Trump has always declared to be his principal objective.

I wonder where she found found this info online. The fact that it was pulled from otc in January.

That’s pretty damning and needs more traction.

Trump was ahead of Risch.

Trump has some of the world’s best MDs out of Bethesda briefing him. Welcome Risch to the party but he’s late.

Trump now calls the HCQ+Zn+Zpak regimen ‘therapeutics’. He promotes both vaccines and therapeutics going into the election but he knows therapeutics are the answer.
\
It was Trump early on promoting what Risch is just now coming around to. It was Trump that touted the HCQ regimen causing press pukes to howl and attack it as ‘nonscientific’. Fauci piled on with snipes of how the regimen is ‘anecdotal’. Most everyone here following this already knows all this.

The real culprits are the press. They have acted as Gates’s marketing and reporting arm, smearing therapeutics and falsely reporting on vaccine progress.

Here’s an apt but distasteful analogy, distasteful because what the press has done is distastegul and actually criminal:

“Your sister is a bipolar whore full of STDs, herpes, syphilis, gonorrhea, she engages in bestiality. Her pimps say she’s pretty but don’t believe them, she will harm you, possibly kill you.”

Stunned Fox News Host Neil Cavuto Warns: Hydroxychloroquine ‘Will Kill You’
https://www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-hydroxychloroquine-fox-news_n_5ec2fa67c5b6e7a7cb8f85ee#:~:text=Stunned%20Fox%20News%20Host%20Neil%20Cavuto%20Warns%3A%20Hydroxychloroquine,as%20a%20coronavirus%20cure%2C%20%22this%20will%20kill%20you.%E2%80%9D

Stunned Fox News Host Neil Cavuto Warns: Hydroxychloroquine ‘Will Kill You’ “I cannot stress this enough,” warned Neil Cavuto about the anti-malaria drug the president has touted as a coronavirus cure, “this will kill you.”

Repeat similar stories 24/7 all outlets, broadcast, internet, television, every channel possible.

Push the meme “Your pretty sister is actually a diseased whore”.

And guess what?

Even though it’s all a lie, people will shun your sister to avoid controversy just like they wear masks that don’t work, that don’t help. It’s all about getting through the day avoiding as much controversy as possible. Doesn’t matter your sister is clean and morally upright, doesn’t matter, She’s been placed in the controversy category.

Only group that can turn it around are MDs but they are for the most part cowards.

MDs no longer honor their Hippocratic Oath “First, do no harm”.

MDs instead cower behind their mantra “First, don’t get sued”.

Dr. Risch is one of dozens now coming out and setting the story straight. More and more doctors are getting onboard. Thousands more are needed. But the slander continues “Your HCQ is harmful, ineffective, etc. (a diseased whore)”.
