The hydroxychloroquine flap

It is so frustrating to see the Democrats in media still hoping this drug will fail.  PSA: Not all drugs work for all people. THC helps some and not others. Aspirin is a miracle drug for many but doesn't help everyone. Many cannot use Tylenol. Ever talk to someone trying to get just the right Parkinson's treatment--one size/treatment doesn't work. And statins? Oh my--cripples some with mysterious muscle problems and cures others. I use fish oil for bursitis, and even if it is a placebo, it works for me--maybe not for you. Peer review articles by researchers don't always agree. Politics seems to be the best disinfectant going these days--wiping the brain cells of Trump haters clean

Dr. Anna Meenan says they can get away with it for now, because it has a strange name that no one except the doctors and the president can pronounce, and it's normally used for unusual indications (malaria prevention, lupus). It is no more dangerous than penicillin (allergic reactions and rashes in some people) in short term use. If someone discovered that penicillin seemed to work on this virus, you can bet they would be clamoring for it. The data is looking better and better for hydroxychloroquine when used early in the course of the illness. I predict those MSM pundits will have to eat their words eventually. It's not a cure-all, but it will have a place in treatment.

Diane McDermott says India had banned the export of this drug. Trump called them and told them to end the ban, that we want that drug and that we need it. India 2 days later ends the export ban and supplies us with the drug.
