CHICAGO, IL – The American Medical Association (AMA), in a surprising move, has officially rescinded a previous statement against the use of Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) in the treatment of COVID-19 patients, giving physicians the okay to return to utilizing the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

True. HCQ was the best treatment available to the average American for many months, but undermined by the FDA, AMA and Dr Fauci. Ivermectin appears to be much more effective, and of course the same suspects are now calling it “unproven”.
PRESIDENT Trump should demand an apology from the msm and all the doctors that excoriated him for suggesting HCQ was an effective treatment and safe
This is monstrous. They are complicit in pre-meditated murder.
We’re wise to the Medical Industrial Complex now, too.
So something good came out of this cluster.
At the Senate Hearing, Dr. Pierre Cory took the medical establishment to task for not pursuing the use of EXISTING classes of drugs. He said there is not a single investigative report from CDC, FDA, NIH and other agencies into the repurposing of existing drugs. They are all focused on pursuing new vaccines. He didn’t go so far as to say it was a government / industry conspiracy to not pursue this line, but he sure obliquely suggested that. Other countries have undertaken exhaustive computer analyses of drugs to identify the best existing drug prospects and these have been very useful at improving therapies. But the US has not led any of this work. That alone is criminal.
Hydroxychloroquine bump
The denial was of preliminary treatment is by design. Prove me wrong
Nobody, I'm sure.
I suggest to you that Trump Derangement Syndrome has proven to be a virulent and deadly disease, but its effects impact innocent third parties instead of the infected. Historians looking back on this time will find themselves both amazed and perplexed by madness on so grand a scale...
According to this link, this was a proposal that was not adopted by the AMA.
Ironically the impact has fallen upon black and Hispanic communities, so much for all the lecturing from the Left Swamp. They have been dying in higher numbers! When it comes to power, those communities mean nothing to the Left, they trounce them, and then caterwaul about white privilege. It’s one giant con game.
This was on Rush’s show today, that it was in fact rescinded. Not sure about this possible headfake. Probably floated the idea, got killed and put out a walk-back.
Actually Hydroxy was demonized because you cannot get Emergency Use Authorization for a vaccine if there is an approved therapy.
So Big Pharma and its allies had to demonize any possible therapy so they could cash in on the vaccine.
Actually the vaccine approval by FDA was the trigger
Over a hundred thousand or more who were not offered any option for early treatment.
Was at the doctor today. I asked about Hydroxy. She said no one is prescribing it(a lie!). I asked how do you treat Covid. She said nothing. Just quarantine. I said the AMA just ok’d Hydroxy. She looked surprised and had no comment.
Exactly. The doctors on FR who are actually treating COVID patients have stated they’re seeing much better success with Ivermectin. So why give people something that’s less effective when lives are on the line?
Ivermectin is an effective, approved therapy. Hydroxychloroquine was promising, but better, more effective treatments have been found. Ask the practicing doctors on FR who are actually treating real COVID patients.
How many lives were lost because of Trump Derangement Syndrome?
Agree.
