Kate Brown, Governor of Oregon, isn’t doing her job. She must clear out, and in some cases arrest, the Anarchists & Agitators in Portland. If she can’t do it, the Federal Government will do it for her. We will not be leaving until there is safety!

Drug prices will soon be lowered massively. Big Pharma (Drug Companies) are advertising against me like crazy because lower prices mean less profit. When you watch a Fake Ad, just think lower drug prices!!!

Yale epidemiologist: Dr. Fauci running ‘misinformation campaign’ against hydroxychloroquine
Accuses prominent doctor of harboring ‘total anti-science viewpoint.’

Dr. Harvey Risch, a noted Yale epidemiologist, has accused White House coronavirus task force member Dr. Anthony Fauci of waging a “misinformation campaign” against the drug hydroxychloroquine, claiming the medication has shown consistently encouraging results in treating COVID-19 when used properly.
Hydroxychloroquine has been at the center of a protracted political debate since March, when President Trump cited the drug as a promising possible treatment for the novel coronavirus. HCQ has long been used by doctors to treat malaria along with other syndromes such as arthritis and lupus. The World Health Organization lists it as an essential medicine, while nearly five million Americans hold prescriptions for it.
Since Trump’s speculative endorsement of the drug, media outlets and medical officials have for several months aggressively promoted various medical trials that have determined the drug has no effectiveness in fighting COVID-19; many commentators have also insisted, in spite of the drug’s decades-long safe track record, that it is too dangerous to be used to cure the disease.
Among the drug’s critics has been Fauci. In March, the longtime director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infection Diseases dismissed claims of HCQ’s effectiveness as “anecdotal” and has periodically voiced that skepticism over the course of the pandemic.
On Tuesday during an interview on “Good Morning America,” Fauci further downplayed the drug’s purported benefit, claiming that “the overwhelming prevailing clinical trials that have looked at the efficacy of hydroxychloroquine have indicated that it is not effective in [treating] coronavirus disease.”
Risch, however, is sharply criticizing Fauci’s approach to evaluating the drug’s effectiveness, arguing that repeated trials and tests have shown that it is markedly effective at treating COVID-19 so long as it is administered properly.
Risch, a professor of epidemiology and the director of Yale’s Molecular Cancer Epidemiology Laboratory, has been pushing for the drug’s use in the fight against the coronavirus for months. Last week in a Newsweek op-ed he called HCQ “the key to defeating COVID-19,” claiming its use — particularly when administered with one of two antibiotics and the nutritional supplement zinc — has been “shown to be highly effective” in treating high-risk coronavirus patients.
FDA boss: Some studies ‘suggest a benefit’ to hydroxychloroquine, docs can prescribe off label
Commissioner Stephen Hahn says doctors can still prescribe the drug off-label for coronavirus patients.

Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Stephen Hahn says there are some medical observational studies that “suggest a benefit” in using the drug hydroxychloroquine for treating COVID-19 but that clinical, randomized trials do not show a benefit.
In spite of Dr. Hahn’s nuanced description of hydroxychloroquine COVID-19 data, however, the agency did not respond to an inquiry from Just the News about whether, in light of this statement, the FDA would withdraw its guidance stating that using hydroxychloroquine for the coronavirus should be avoided “outside of the hospital setting or a clinical trial.”
“So the FDA looks at all what we call ‘the totality of data,’” Hahn said in a Tuesday morning radio interview with Florida radio host Drew Steele. “There are observational studies that suggest a benefit. There are five randomized trials that did not show a benefit to hydroxychloroquine, both in the prophylactic setting and in the treatment — both early and late.”
“We believe that decision about whether a doctor writes for hydroxychloroquine, for a patient with COVID, is completely in the realm of the doctor-patient relationship,” Hahn said Tuesday, “with the doctor understanding what the data show, their comfort level with this drug, and also the other medications and other illnesses that a person has.”
That was just the reaction to President Trump wondering if the election should be postponed.
Wearing lunch?
And tests were given to very sick patients in hospital. It’s most effective when early symptoms appear.
Imagine a large grizzly bear is terrorizing your neighborhood. You have a powerful bear gun and potent bear spray that will make the bear go away or allow you to eliminate it if it attacks you. But your government tells you not to use those tools. Instead, they insist you camouflage yourself, hunker down, and hope the bear doesn’t get you.
That about sums up Covid-19 in America. We have powerful methods for getting rid of the virus if one gets a bad infection, but instead we’re told to wear masks and stay six feet apart. Oh, and no large gatherings, either – unless you’re protesting.
Let me first briefly discuss reliable tools for getting rid of a Covid infection, and then we’ll examine the efficacy of masks.

If People Can Line Up to Pay Respects to Rep. John Lewis, Then We Can Have In-Person Voting in November (VIDEO)

People lined up as far as the eye could see on Tuesday in Washington DC to pay respects to Congressman John Lewis.
Good analogy.
LOL, said the old catcher....(still tasting those salt tablets from 50 years ago)
Seriously, coaches and umpires probably have been preaching "Stay in that waterbucket" at those players for so long we don't need to say a word on the subject.
No harm in reminding 'em anyway. (Always worry about those 13 - 15 year olds though...some of 'em act like they think they're eight feet tall and bulletproof.)
LOL! I have wondered if it is even Constitutional? Doesn’t the Constitution mandate the date for the national general election?
IMHO - In much of the nation it’s more about control of the citizenry rather than health and containment of the virus.
The fact that the many of the same powerful people pushing/forcing lock-downs, the wearing of masks and ‘social distancing’ by everyday people also ignore, disregard or support
the huge leftist mobs that regularly violate these sanctions show that it is about politics, power and control - not about preventing the spread of the coronavirus.
