Good point. Much of his behavior and comments were more consistent with a patient presenting with new onset schizophrenia.

Right! Take this pill for a headache; however, it could cause bleeding of the brain, loss of vision, or death. Geez.

The media shut out this drug the minute President Trump touted it. They could not accept anything that would lessen the crisis and give President Trump credit. This is how sickening they are.

Hydroxychloroquine Side Effects

Hydroxychloroquine typically is very well tolerated. Serious side effects are rare. The most common side effects are nausea and diarrhea, which often improve with time. Less common side effects include rash, changes in skin pigment (such as darkening or dark spots), hair changes, and muscle weakness. Rarely, hydroxychloroquine can lead to anemia in some individuals. This can happen in individuals with a condition known as G6PD deficiency or porphyria.

In rare cases, hydroxychloroquine can cause visual changes or loss of vision. Such vision problems are more likely to occur in individuals taking high doses for many years, in individuals 60 years or older, those with significant kidney or liver disease, and those with underlying retinal disease. At the recommended dose, development of visual problems due to the medication is rare. It is recommended that you have an eye exam within the first year of use, then repeat every 1 to 5 years based on current guidelines.

Additional rare reports of changes in the heart rhythm have been reported with the use of hydroxychloroquine, particularly in combination with other medications. While monitoring for this risk is not typical in the office setting, it has been indicated in hospitalized and critically ill patients to evaluate for interactions with other medications

As if they REALLY care that he is taking it. They are hoping he dies from it. And that’s the truth.

Every time they use the word “unproven” to characterize HCQ, they amplify the issues people are pointing at with respect to vaccinations of the post 1990 era.

Indeed, between this and other Big Pharma initiatives.. the core of this conflict has become whether Doctors or corrupt Bureaucrats actually run our medical establishment. And, since Obama, it has clearly shifted to the Bureaucrats.
