President Donald Trump has claimed that he’s been taking the anti-malaria drug hydroxychloroquine every day in an effort to avoid contracting coronavirus.

The way I see it, it doesn’t matter what the President is taking - the real story here is that we have a President who believes in individual freedom.
He is setting an example as an independent thinker who ignores political correctness and bureaucratic consensus.
He said farther up. That could mean a lot of things.
Besides, why are THEY whining about this. When every d*mn one of them is cheering for a rare drug reaction to kill him. Like Bruce Lee, it seems nothing else can.
I suspect that the President is doing this under the guidance of a competent doctor.
When was the incident with the valet driver?
Dr Z wrote a letter to POTUS w/the HCQ info.
I think the last straw was the Valet driver, the one who tested positive the next day, I think that is when he decided to just take the drug for prevention
I think, as well as several others, here, that POTUS has been on this preventative HCQ protocol, for longer than that.....at least since early March.
Many thanks for your analysis!
I hope more studies of HCQ + zinc are done, and more Drs prescribe the combo of the “Trump pills”.

“Dosing studies to find ideal Covid prophylactic dose, presuming one exists, are still pending. Malaria prophylaxis dosage is 400mg weekly. RA or Lupus treatment dose is 200 - 400 mg daily. Both have been tried by some as Covid pre- or post-exposure prophylaxis with several studies pending. I’ve seen some results of the daily dose working prophylactically. I haven’t seen any results on the weekly dose yet. The daily dose should be reasonably safe for awhile based on the RA and lupus experience. The weekly dose, IF it would work, likely has the largest safety track record of any prophylactic treatment for any disease this side of some vaccinations. It would be nice if it turned out to work, but that’s not yet proven. The daily dose, for two weeks, used as post-exposure prophylaxis for 200+ exposed residents and staff at a S Korean long term facility prevented every one from being infected. Bigger numbers would be nicer as would a control group, which could do no better, but that’s good enough to treat an exposed Trump.

I’m really am interested in HCQ but I don’t understand the significance of what you wrote. Could you explain it to a person who has good reading comprehension but is not a science major?
Leftists are at their entertainment best when they’re verklempt.
Not zpac daily. Only once. It last for 30 days.

I frequently see medication dosages starting with what is called a *loading dose*, then continuing with smaller amounts.
POTUS has to meet with a lot of people. They may test negative and be shedding. His own tests are only for those moments in time.
He doesn’t need an antibiotic to treat active infection, just a prophylactic regimen. I think his MD can be trusted,
The half life of a drug tells how long it stays in your system. This drug has a 22 day half life meaning that even after 22 days the drug is still active in our body. 22 days seems very long. Tylenol has half life of 2 to 3 hours. The 22 days half life supports the theory that getting treated daily could be more than prophylactic.
I just got my 30 tabs of HCQ that was prescribed by doctor via corsination.com/teleMD. It took 10 days to arrive because of a screwup at UPS. I told Doc that I had no symptoms. She did not prescribe Azithromicin because I was not sick. Trump is probably not taking Azithromicin.
The dosage is one a day for 5 days and then one per week till pandemic ends. Seriously. This was on the label. I’m grateful I got it. I also got 25mg and 50 mg bottles of Zinc. Deciding if I’m going to start the prophylaxis or wait to see if I get it and then theoretically “knock it out” so I have the antibodies moving forward.
“How did everybody on FR suddenly become a doctor?”
I think everyone has become a quick study on the matters at hand. If you look a bit, there are lots of doctors making public statements, providing data, analysis and experiential perspective.
YOU can then verify and document information, and then share with others.
I know several people who aren’t mechanics who can pull the engine and transmission out of their cars and fix everything that goes wrong. Self-learned as they are.
You can learn about anything you set your mind to FRiend.
How did everybody on FR suddenly become a doctor?
Its amazing.

Long, arduous studies at Free Republic Medical School. Now we have to pick out where we want to try to do our residencies.
Hi, which state is the doctor in? thanks.
Yes, definitely.
Asserting one’s right to freely choose in NO way exempts one from seeking the best available council in making that choice. Quite the contrary.
Our enemies (those who advocate for central social planning over individual freedom) always advance the narrative that freedom is part and parcel with carelessness, ignorance and witchcraft.
But this is a straw man argument designed to discredit individual freedom by false association.
There is nothing about exercising individual freedom that precludes a scientific approach. In fact, individual freedom stimulates scientific experimentation and discourages group-think dogma - the enemy of science.
Who is Doctor Z, and is there a copy of that letter anywhere? Thanks.

Dr Z is Dr Zev Zelenko, of NY....who has successfully treated 100’s of China Flu patients w/his HCQ/Zinc regimen.
Here’s a link (posted many times by gleeaikin) to the letter...
