Sharyl: Camps largely divided along political lines. Many right-leaning media figures sided with hydroxychloroquine while the left-leaning press backed remdesivir. Each accusing the other of ignoring real science.
Dr. William O’Neill: I've never seen science politicized in 40 years of practice.
Sharyl: Cardiologist Dr. William O’Neill is a medical director at the Henry Ford Health System in Detroit, Michigan where they’re studying both remdesivir and hydroxychloroquine.
Some people in the media are treating hydroxychloroquine as if it's something that's being pitched by charlatans, it's dangerous, and that's been debunked and discredited. What do you make of that?
Dr. O’Neill: I think that's very harmful. President Trump touted it early and so then the media set out to disprove and discredit it without any regard for science. I think those of us that are actually involved in the scientific endeavor feel that there is some value to it and it has to be tested.
Sharyl: Dr. O’Neill says he’s prescribed hydroxychloroquine to help numerous coronavirus patients and saw improvement in all of them. He’s less impressed, so far, by remdesivir.
Dr. O’Neill: There's a lot of hype for the drug. I saw the original new England Journal article study and I saw the Lancet study and to me it's just like a big Ho Hum. I just don't see a big benefit to it.
Sharyl: Adding to the drama and confusion, a draft version of a study was accidentally published last month showing remdesivir did not help most coronavirus patients and caused such serious side effects, 18 test subjects were taken off the drug. Gilead, the maker of remdesivir, did not respond to our interview requests but has said it ended the study because it couldn’t find enough volunteers to take part.

From the article
We wanted to hear perspectives from from Dr. Fauci and Gilead, the maker of remdesivir, but they declined our interview requests. We also contacted numerous scientists who have criticized or are skeptical of hydroxycholoroquine, but they also did not want to be interviewed for this report.
Two Pod casts at site
About a month ago I said that almost everything cures the Wuhan flu better than remdesivir.
That will be HCQ.
HCL will eat your insides out.
bkmk
HCQ is made from artemisia vulgarian (mugwort). It’s been used for hundreds of years by the herbalist. You can buy in as an oil, drops or even as tea.
Think Aspirin, Digitalis,
My dad and his brother harvested marijuana as kids for their local pharmacist.
When Big Pharma took over the squeezed out the common herbs. Couldn’t make any money on them.
I know what HCL is I didn’t want to spell out Hydro chloroquine all the way out. Anyone dumb enough to take hydrochloric acid is dumb enough to drink fish tank cleaner. So ever so politely piss off.
Back at you.
Takes as long to type HCL as HCQ. Both are three letters.
True I screwed the pooch. If I could have you proof reading everything I would read or write I wouldn’t see “I could care less” instead of “I couldn’t care less” here all the time. It would never happen.
Two words...
1) Global
2) Warming (or Cooling, depending on which way the wind's blowing)
It is interesting that scientists who have been critical of hydroxychloriquine did not wish to be interviewed for Cheryl Ackinson’s article. It is really sad that scientists are not interested in determining if something that is safe might also be extremely helpful, all for political reasons
And yet Fauci, based on a tiny inconclusive trial, referred to remsdivir as ‘standard of care’ for covid-19. What a clown (Fauci).
The doctor should read Eisenhower’s Farewell Address.
Sharyl Atkisson hits another one outta the park!
There is little doubt Steven Hatfill was suspected of things he probably didn't do, but it's unclear how he would be an authority on SARS-CoV-2, other than that he worked for the federal government (which funded research at the Wuhan lab) at some point.
“Dr. William O’Neill: I’ve never seen science politicized in 40 years of practice.”
Nope. It’s never happened until now. Sigh.
