...But was the media’s reflexive delegitimization of Chloroquine merely a symptom of a virus even more virulent than COVID-19 – namely, Trump Derangement Syndrome – or was there something else at work?
Consider this: Anywhere between 50-70% of the media’s advertising dollars come from Big Pharma. Pharmaceutical companies are all competing to make a vaccine for COVID-19. At roughly $50 per dose, the net purse for a vaccine that thought leaders the world over will want to make compulsory for every man, woman, and child on the planet is in the 350-billion-dollar range.Were the media to report widely on the many success stories of Chloroquine, the drug might well be work-horsed into general use across America – and the world. Chloroquine is almost embarrassingly inexpensive....
At least $50 if prescribed in a hospital.
How much of that $50 is the Cuomo kickback, since he only wants hospitals to prescribe it.
I hate to say it but I think we should go back to not allowing pharmaceutical commercials.

After all, the patients shouldn’t be deciding about the medication the doctor should write? and the commercials are horrible in misleading. you don’t take a pill because it’s cute and it makes friends with the other pill you’re taking.
highly doubtful
That would mean that we have a vaccine already... cheap, abundant, easy to manufacture, already tested by millions of patients in the real world and with long term use... in other words, they have nothing left to "wait for" for their magical 18-month shutdown.
A $20 cure verses a $120K effort to maybe cure.
“or was there something else at work?”
there is but it has nothing to do with big pharm making an extra buck and everything to do with crashing the economy and destroying Donald Trump; to wit:
Herd immunity is necessary for the C-19 contagion to burn itself out, but you won’t get that by having lockdowns because in fact lockdowns prevent herd immunity from occurring, and it doesn’t matter if the lockdown is a month or six months because the same exact thing will happen regardless of the length of lockdown when the un-lockdown occurs, namely a whole slew of new C-19 cases are going to occur, and that is completely unavoidable ... There’s no rocket science here, and public policy makers know all of the above, and their claim has always been that the lockdown was *ONLY* to avoid the unknown possibility of the medical system being overwhelmed by too many cases all at once.
President Trump’s dilemma (”the hardest decision I’ll ever have to make in my life”) is to how to prepare the public for this inevitable new wave of illness and new wave of deaths when the economy reopens ...
However, if there’s a cheap, safe, effective and universally available cure in the early stages of C-19 infection as is now known to be the case with HCQ/antibiotic/zinc, then there is indeed a whole new ballgame, namely it doesn’t matter how many will get sick when the un-lockdown occurs, because very few will die due to the treatment, and we can therefore safely and quickly build herd immunity, and C-19 will burn itself out as it can no longer be spread once a certain threshold of immune people is reached ...
So, i believe that what is really going to drive the “reopening” date is having enough HCQ/antibiotic/zinc supplies across the nation to treat the hundreds of thousands of new (symptomatic) cases AS SOON AS THEY OCCUR when the nation reopens for business, because then lots of people getting sick from this disease won’t be that big of a deal if they can be effectively treated in the EARLY STAGES of the illness ... but if we do NOT have those curative supplies in place in sufficient quantities across our nation, then all hell would break lose politically if large numbers of people die as a result of the un-lockdown ...
The Dems and fake stream enemedia know all of the above, which is why they’ve been desperately trying to discredit this treatment ... they are desperately hoping that President Trump will be put into a lose-lose situation by reopening the economy and having additions scores die that they can claim is his fault ... however, with an actual cure, none of that will happen and the economy can safely be reopened ... fortunately, the above treatment has practically become the standard of treatment in ERs and ICUs around the nation, and practically no one as far as i can tell believe the fairy tales manufactured by the fake stream media about the HCQ/antibiotic/zinc treatment.
Exactly. But, Dr. Wallace’s corespondence to the FDA is being actively suppressed. It is being ignored my the MSM, by the dems, by Pharma, by everyone. You will find not one mention of this circulating ANYWHERE. Why? Because there’s no MONEY to be made with this. And, secondly, it was the Evil, President Trump that touted its effectiveness initially and, anything President Trump touts as a viable remedy is automatically Evil to those who oppose him at all costs. They’re willing to sacrifice however many necessary because of their Pathological TDS.
Then, there’s the Pharma industry that will make no money at all if a 65-Year-Old drug is an answer. As usual, Follow the Money.
yeah it’s pretty much hatred of Trump and wanting a Dem President, House and Senate-the cost can be congressional pkg
The low incidence of COVID-19 infections in Africa would reflect the use of Chloroquine as a prophylactic against Malaria.
Your analysis is the best I have seen on how we can beat the virus. It shows great effort on your part to write it.
I have great faith in Trump’s leadership in the task force. What you described is where they are going. It’s going to throw the Resistance to the mat when it plays out. Trump will be one step ahead of them and will make his play when the time is right.
How about this;
Republicans can take the Chloroquine and get back to work, have fun and live life.
Democrats can live in fear, be antisocial, stay at home and not work while their mortgages go to default, and not vote next fall.
“...within his current >2000 patients taking HCQ for Lupus not one of them has to date contracted the Wuhan Virus.”
I’ve been waiting for THAT investigation.
The paharma-insurance-government complex is another humongous deep state creature.
Another disease in the $$$ vaccine queue is Lyme’s.
The paharma-insurance-government complex...the PIG.
