re: Death rates: countries that use HCQ versus countries that don’t.

Honest question because I don't know. Are doctors now prohibited from prescribing in the US?

No. Many doctors prescribe it for off label use. However because it is off label for COVID many doctors are hesitant or refuse to prescribe it for COVID. That's why we are yellow in the chart.

You wonder why HCQ is political when masks were made political by orange glow on day 1?

I’m sorry ... who made masks political, and when did this happen? Was it the guy who encouraged their use when guidelines changed but refused to make it a matter of federal mandate? Or the guy who first said masks were useless, ostensibly to preserve PPE for healthcare workers, but then admitted he lied and helped to promote mask wearing as a mark of good character (and vice versa)?

Regardless, it’s a ridiculous comparison to HCQ. Trump mentioned the drug in a speech toward the end of March, noting that it had offered some encouraging results after being used as a treatment option in other countries. (His statement was accurate and verifiable at the time.) Yet that innocuous comment appeared to ignite one of the most brazen and explosive disinformation campaigns of the modern era, during which the world’s most prestigious medical journals published a resounding condemnation of a 65-year-old drug with an excellent safety record that turned out to be based on falsified “records” from an obvious shell company. Even if you’re generous enough to believe that this doesn’t constitute outright fraud, there’s no way it doesn’t demonstrate a critical lack of due diligence.

But sure, the sudden and perplexingly incongruent vilification of HCQ was totally apolitical — and it was apolitical at the same time Trump was somehow making a political statement by following Fauci’s advice not to wear a mask in public. I gotta hand it to guys like you, though: It’s thanks to insane mental gymnastics like this that I finally realized how much I was being manipulated and found the will to walk away.

Regardless of your personal views of HCQ, it’s almost comical that a freaking drug has become political.

And look who, yet again, made it political. The democrats.

It is getting out of hand how often they accuse republicans OF WHAT THEY ARE DOING.

thanks

Sorry, Dr. Samadi. That's not how it works in 2020 America.
