re: Is it easy getting Hydroxychloroquin?

HCQ has proven to not been effective in curing Covid patients, but they're about to start a pretty large scale study to see if it can work as a prophylactic. They're enlisting like 10-20,000 healthcare workers in a trial to see if it is effective in preventing infections.

If it turns out to work for this, thousands of morons will accuse doctors and Fauci of flip flopping because they don't understand the scientific method.

A lot of the people who would have made fun of anti-vax facebook moms have become what they always made fun of. They're even claiming there's no chance they take the covid vaccine when it's available.

Not saying your wrong, but how would a new vaccine for a new virus be a loss for any company? Just the discovery alone would send that companies stock through the roof.

Politics have no role in medicine. If it works, use it. If it doesn't, scrap it.

I am all for studying all potential therapies regardless of which controversial person endorses it.

Doctors can't prescribe medicine just because someone has a hunch that it may work. Even if it is deemed safe, there are still side effects. If there is no actual proof that the medication works to combat Covid, all you're doing is prescribing potential side effects.

But it's not just SOMEONE saying it works...It's actual doctors saying that it works and medical studies.

There isn’t a physician in the US that ever claimed it was a cure. It’s use is intended to lessen the severity of symptoms & significantly reduce recovery duration. Every physician that is pro HCQ has been adamant that it should be administered as soon as a positive test or symptoms are revealed, not when hospitalization is required. The world-wide clinical study of 30,000 medical personnel you mention started May 20th & is being conducted by Washington U(STL) and so far, I can only speak for local info, no doctors & nurses in STL who are in the study have contracted Covid. Another poster stated it isn’t prescribed to patients and that’s a bald-faced lie. It’s being prescribed all across the country depending upon your healthcare system’s course of treatment. I sell to the healthcare industry & one of my best friend’s is a physician in the local ER trauma unit. Our university healthcare system has been prescribing HCQ + 5 day Zpack as standard treatment from day 1 and have had moderate success. Is it a cure, not even close, but it definitely has shown to do what it was intended to. As my buddy has stated, we decided to be proactive from the start and as physicians we couldn’t send patients fearing for their lives home with a treatment option of take some Tylenol, drink plenty of fluids, & get some rest in good conscience.

Huh, my doctor just recommended it to me if my test comes back positive. Is he an Orange man?

Nah, but perhaps a little orange around the lips.

tell that to the poli-board.


apparently there was a big bru-ha-ha on the capitol steps yesterday or something with a bunch of "doctors" telling the truth.


don't search for it on the interwebs. apparently it keeps getting taken down because of "censorship".






oh yeah: one of the doctors says to stay away from demons if you want to avoid an STD.

Our recommended treatment pathway for CoVid+ admissions, includes starting HCQ immediately. As far as I know, virtually all of our patients have been put on it. We are including Remdesyvir, now, as well.

I asked our pulmonologist how do we know if it works. He said, "If they live... it worked."
