Kamala Harris On Trump Touting Hydroxychloroquine: ‘We Don’t Want A Drug Pusher For President’
Daily Caller ^ | 4/8/20 | David Krayden

Democratic California Sen. Kamala Harris said Wednesday that President Donald Trump’s support of hydroxychloroquine makes him a “drug pusher.”

“He’s got to stop … We don’t want a drug pusher for president. We want somebody who takes that stage and speaks to the crisis in a way that is about bringing relief,” Harris told “The View,” in reference to Trump’s daily participation in the coronavirus task force news conferences from Washington.

Harris claimed that she has “no idea” why Trump continues to promote the drug that has been licensed since 1955 and has proven to be an effective remedy against malaria. (RELATED: Clinical Trial Raises Hopes That Malaria Drug Could Be Coronavirus Cure)

“But what I do know is this. It is a drug that has been proven to give relief from pain … to people with rheumatoid arthritis, people with lupus, and right now, I’m hearing all over the place, people are hoarding this drug,” she said, suggesting that the treatment is becoming a scare commodity for those “who need it to relieve their pain and to extend the quality of their life.”

“The president keeps taking the stage and, as opposed to what Dr. [Anthony] Fauci and medical health professionals are telling us, pushing this drug.” WASHINGTON, DC - APRIL 05: U.S. President Donald Trump and Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, hold a press briefing with members of the White House Coronavirus Task Force on April 5, 2020 in Washington, DC. On Friday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued a recommendation that all Americans should wear masks or cloth face coverings in public settings.

Others have criticized Trump for encouraging the use of the anti-malarial drug. “Morning Joe” co-host Mika Brzezinski said Monday that President Donald Trump is promoting hydroxychloroquine because of a “financial tie.”

Fact-checker Snopes examined a New York Times article that also suggested that Trump could receive financial gain from widespread use of the the drug — saying that conclusion is “mostly false” because Trump’s stake in the product is so minuscule.

Joe Scarborough also asked on his MSNBC program why Trump was pushing “an unproven drug” as a potential cure for the coronavirus, saying hydroxychloroquine is ineffective, despite rising anecdotal evidence that it is bringing life-saving relief in the midst of the pandemic.

This is PROOF that the elites DO NOT WANT an end to the COVID crisis. They will do almost ANYTHING to stop this life-saving drug cocktail from being prescribed.

Maybe she should ask why Maimonides Hospital in Brooklyn has been using it as a treatment and prophylaxis, especially for their staff since the middle of March and with success. And I have this from a staff doctor who contracted Covid.

“He’s got to stop … We don’t want a drug pusher for president. We want somebody who takes that stage and speaks to the crisis in a way that is about bringing relief,”

Bringing relief like Obama? "Maybe this isn't going to help. Maybe you're better off not having the surgery, but taking the painkiller."

So I can have the President who wants to heal me or the one who wants to euthanize me. I pick heal.

She is nuts. They need to do anything to go after Trump. The problem is I think to many voters are buying into it.

They don't want President Trump touting hydroxychloroquine because it is speeding up the recover time reducing the number of hospital beds required.

Hydroxychloroquine and other drugs with some precaution means we might be able to restart the USA next month.

Watch Wall Street take off next month. Also watch for companies looking to relocate supplies/products manufacturing from China.

It is a Win Win for President Trump

Thousands of NY COVID patients are being treated with anti-malarial drug

The article reports 4000 seriously ill patients, that could be 4000 less deaths. We will know for sure once the case study is release.

How many more we do know about were successful in finding a Doctor that would treat with hydroxychloroquine against the Governor's orders?

So this very safe drug is not preventing doctors from prescribing something else but in this case there is NOTHING ELSE! Maybe the drug works and you don’t have to go to the hospital and be put on ventilation or it doesn’t work and you have to go on ventilation vs you go on ventilation and probably die.
