Scott Adams blows up The System. He explains that celebrities get the hydroxychloroquine/Z-Pak regimen upon demand, and tells the peasants how to get it if they need it.
Key points:
1. A Covid test is $1000, and you wait five days while drowning in your own snot.
2. The hydroxychloroquine/Z-Pak regimen is $20-$50, you may get a case of diarrhea, and the regimen is five days long.

Lots of the F-word. Scott is MAD, and he's putting the beatdown on the Elites.
"You gotta bring down the control to the doctor and the patient, and I'm gonna tell you how" starts at https://youtu.be/axDxEeanems?t=1205
They have instituted widespread treatment as has France and several other countries. Just as here results will be reported to add to data. I don’t see how any of that reports your statement.
Again, calling me names doesn’t exactly make your case.
I didn’t call you names. Read my reply again.
What we have here is strong evidence that hydroxychloroquine/azithromycin can cure COVID-19.
The opposing position, including yours, is only motivated by politics.
On the other hand, there was an extremely popular song that educated us about it. Way beyond the ACTUAL harm done.
Friggin’ UNBELIEVABLE!
I do have a dog in this fight. The USA. Which dog is yours?
Mark for later possible cure.
Thanks. I like Scott, but seldom listen to him cause he fiddle f@rts around so much on his videos. And he’s always trying to sell some new thing he’s doing.
Yes. It’s obvious both here and with these pharmacy boards and governors.
Can’t wait till these people are convicted and jailed for withholding treatment causing death, and then sued into lifelong poverty.
Let me put it this way, if this drug not only doesn’t work but hurts people will YOU be willing to let 330 million people blame YOU?
Were you trying to find recommended dosage in malarial therapy? rheumatoid arthritis?
It is easy to find recommended dosages; if you narrow down what you were interested in I’ll be glad to help.
Great pick up, very useful information.
The anecdotal report from the doctor treating the jewish community in north new york I believe said that 100% of his patients lived.
And while I accept his report as “evidence” that the treatment is probably useful, he doesn’t give enough info to understand what he is saying, did he give it to people in hospital, did he give it to his entire community, to everybody who said they had symptoms?
So we don’t know what he means. Maybe every person who had a fever got it, and none of them needed hospitalization, and maybe none would have anyway.
In the french trial, every person lived, and the combo was effective for all who got it, as expressed by shorter time to recovery than the control group. Too small a cohort to be definitive.
I have even met an evangelist who felt it was a “blessing”. Very Strong Faith.
...and IIRC that doctor treated people for 5 days IIRC.
Is the Nevada governor going to dispatch the State Police to arrest the Doctor?
No. My motivation is I don’t want to see a bunch of people hurt by snake oil. Are there people who died on the drug chronically? It shouldn’t be too much to ask.
I'm responding to your question as a means of posting a short synopsis. But I think it also answers your question.
Scott's point is that you have a cough lets say or even a cough with fever. You are otherwise OK. You go to the Doctor and he offers you a test. The test will come back in 5 days. If you actually have the disease you could be dead in 5 days. So you can go home and wait for the test to come back and if you still are alive you may be able to get the drug. But your doctor may then say you need to go to the hospital so the specialist can decide if you get the drug or not.
What Scott is recommending is you tell your doctor forget the test I want the "Trump pills". Scott says the short term side effects are nausea and diarrhea. So if your doctor gives you a prescription you go home start taking it in 10 days you're still alive. It doesn't matter if you had the disease or not because the pills he gave you cost under $100. And you save the cost of an expensive test ($1000)
He says if your doctor gives you any push back you tell him that the disease course is rapid. You may not have time to wait for a test. That you pose the question if I were your spouse or family member and they had my symptoms wouldn't you give them the pills?
Scott also implies the famous and rich people he knows already have a supply of "Trump pills". That there is only one study from some small government run university in China that says they don't work. He explains that China has lied all throughout this crisis so why would you believe this study? Everywhere else the reports are it's working.
He goes on with more examples but the funny one is that he mentions that Prince Charles has tested positive for Coronavirus what do you think the odds that he is NOT taking the "Trump pills" (although in England he says as an aside they probably call them something else) . . . "f-ing 0, not 1%, not 2%, f-ing 0%".
In the beginning of his piece he compared our response to the Coronavirus to centralized planning. This is just like the Obama plan for the Afghanistan war. When soldiers in the field found a potential target they would have to report it to their commanders and wait for a response. It went up the chain of command, maybe to Obama himself. By the time they get a response, the situation in the field has changed. So instead of making battle field decisions they have to go through the centralized planning. He then explains how this is the same as what is happening now with the virus.
You have NO credibility here.
