Bill Gates this week added more flame to the fire in the ongoing debate over the usage of hydroxychloroquine to treat COVID-19, claiming that using the drug to treat the coronavirus carries with it the risk of "severe side effects" and arguing that medical officials should instead pursue the numerous "good therapeutic drugs" currently in development.
Yet there is at present little evidence that "severe side effects" are common in COVID-19 patients who take hydroxychloroquine, with the majority of reported adverse events being relatively mild and only a small fraction of reported effects so far being dangerous and/or fatal.
The drug, which has been used for years to treat malaria and other conditions like lupus, has been at the center of a medical and political firestorm since March when President Trump touted the medicine as a possible effective treatment for coronavirus. Numerous medical officials have claimed that it offers no benefit to COVID-19 patients, while others have insisted that it is highly effective when used in certain circumstances, specifically on high-risk patients early in the course of the disease.
Asked by Bloomberg magazine about the controversy on Thursday, Gates—who has been at the forefront of funding and advocacy efforts to find both a cure and a vaccine for COVID-19—said that though we live "in age of science ... sometimes it doesn’t feel that way."...

By the way, Bill, peanuts and bee stings have severe side effects too.
I am SOOOOO sick of Gates, Fauci and others who say this is a dangerous drug. No, it’s not. Money is the only thing they can think about.
From world renowned epidimiologist (sp). How are those tracker chips coming along billy?
What do you call someone who does know what they don’t know?
Bill Gates was indemnification to protect him from lawsuits over the mandatory “vaccine”. He is on record estimating 10% of the public having a potential bad reaction to it.
But if governments force it on people he feels he deserves protection against liability.
Coke and Pepsi will each tell you the other is a poisonous product...
HCQ’s been around for 50+ years, works well and is 20-30 cents per tablet. No big money in it for Big Pharma or the corrupt politicians.
Gates... “arguing that medical officials should instead pursue the numerous “good therapeutic drugs” currently in development.”
How can Dr’s widely use “something in development”?
Effing idiot.
Driving a car has severe side effects. You could die.
I still drive.
Yeah. It has severe side effects.
Like not putting any cash in his pocket.
Gates is a psycho. He can’t stop himself. Too much is never enough for him: maybe he can’t stand the thought that Bezos has more money now.
Like I said, where and when did Gates go to medical school? Or is this a degree he bestowed upon himself. Quinine has been safely used for decades for several different conditions. The only conclusion I can come to is that he wants covid patients to die. He is a deep state globalist who has employed slaves in several countries paying them peanuts. He has made billions off of slave labor.
Bill Gates: Talking Out of His Ass Since 1975
hydroxychloroquine Has been used by hundred of millions since the 1950s. I have read studies including a 2005 study by doctors who worked for the CDC saying that hydroxychloroquine was effective. I have not seen a drug test which shows hydroxychloroquine causes issues when used on Covid-19 patients. So Bill, show me a study backing up your self serving statements against hydroxychloroquine since you stand to make billions on a vaccine.
Using Bill Gate’s software causes severe side effects!
The serious side effects he is referring to is his loss of revenue if hydroxychloroquine is used instead of the high cost drugs he is developing.
And they are both right. All the things we put in our bodies are poisonous to a greater or lesser degree. That is why we have a liver and kidneys.
LOL!
gates and his wife are such ghouls. Aside from wanting to “eliminate” about 75% of humans from life, they are heavily invested in creating a “vaccine” that they would force on people...and make lots of money. The guy and his wife are criminals and enemies of free people everywhere. What extremely wealthy nitwits.
I believe very little that Bill Gates says. He couldn’t even build an operating system that doesn’t crash on a regular basis, and now he’s a drug expert. Go away Bill.
