AMA Rescinds Previous Statement Against Prescription of Hydroxychloroquine to COVID-19 Patient

CHICAGO, IL – The American Medical Association (AMA), in a surprising move, has officially rescinded a previous statement against the use of Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) in the treatment of COVID-19 patients, giving physicians the okay to return to utilizing the medication at their discretion.

Previously, the AMA had issued a statement in March that was highly critical of HCQ in regards to its use as a proposed treatment by some physicians in the early stages of COVID-19. In addition to discouraging doctors from ordering the medication in bulk for “off-label” use – HCQ is typically used to treat diseases such as malaria – they also claimed that there was no proof that it was effective in treating COVID, and that its use could be harmful in some instances.

However, on page 18 of a recent AMA memo, issued on October 30, (resolution 509, page 3) the organization officially reversed their stance on HCQ, stating that its potential for good currently may supersede the threat of any potential harmful side effects.

I’d rather go with an anti-malarial such as HCQ and throwing in some zinc then go with a horse dewormer but that’s just me.

"Don't tell me the medical community doesn't play politics."

Of course the medical industry follows and promotes the dictates of the party of big government, the Democrats. The medical industry is so regulated it is de facto nationalized and they know who their masters are and where the money comes from. Government control of health care has been the goal of socialists for a century and their success is the reason that Americans are now suffering under a medical tyranny.

"Do you need a prescription for it ? It's not exactly a dangerous drug."

Mostly only in the nanny-state Western countries where people are assumed to be too stupid do you need a prescription for Hydroxychloroquine. In the tropical third world it is and over the counter medication.

Only a fool believes any longer that America is still he land of the free.

To get an Emergency Use Authorization from the FDA for a vaccine - the targeted disease must not have any approved treatments. They could not let HCL become a treatment. That may have been the driver, so they got the Swamp to knock out these drugs, at the behest of Big Pharma, so they could fast track their vaccines. Or else it would have been years!

If I had lost a family member to COVID, I’d be looking for someone’s head on a pike.

Fortunately, I paid ZERO head to anything the AMA had to say and continued to happily use HCQ with no problems whatsoever.
There should be a Nuremberg style trial for crimes against humanity for the AMA people for all the hundreds of thousands of totally avoidable deaths they caused.

I know it will never happen but the AMA should be held criminally and civilly liable for this outrage. Someone needs to go to jail and the organization needs to be financially destroyed.

I can attest to that from personal experience.

[[Bingo - there is a case for wrongful death. They lied and prevented medical treatment because they hated Trump.]]

Proving that in corrupt courts that protect liberals will be nearly impossible
