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."...

So are a lot of other prescription drugs. Eldouche.
Bill Gates is pimping a product to compete against Trump Pills”, take his complaints with 2 grains of salt and call me in the morning.
Recall Thomas Edison’s campaign against AC electricity.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_of_the_currents
The war of the currents, sometimes called battle of the currents, was a series of events surrounding the introduction of competing electric power transmission systems in the late 1880s and early 1890s. It grew out of two lighting systems developed in the late 1870s and early 1880s; arc lamp street lighting running on high-voltage alternating current (AC), and large-scale low-voltage direct current (DC) indoor incandescent lighting being marketed by Thomas Edison’s company.[1] In 1886, the Edison system was faced with new competition: an alternating current system developed by George Westinghouse’s company that used transformers to step down from a high voltage so AC could be used for indoor lighting. Using high voltage allowed an AC system to transmit power over longer distances from more efficient large central generating stations. As the use of AC spread rapidly, the Edison Electric Light Company claimed in early 1888 that high voltages used in an alternating current system were hazardous, and that the design was inferior to, and infringed on the patents behind, their direct current system.
I feel sorry for poor Bill.
Seriously he has been in a Covid like quarantine for the last 20 years.
I used to see him around, but he is so paranoid now (with good reason probably) it is difficult for him to get out.
Even if he wants to go across the street to the golf club and have lunch he has to call and ask who is in the dining room, and be seated with his back against the reinforced wall he paid for.
Did Bill Gates ever stop his computers from distributing viruses?
So, Bill Gates is not the leading expert on medical cures for viruses LOL
Every commercial pushing a drug contains about 5 seconds of what ailment the drug is supposed to alleviate and the next 55 seconds lists all the potential side effects.
And then, the very next commercial begins with, "If you or a loved one has suffered or died from (insert name of FDA approved drug here), contact the law offices of......".
The only side effect Gates is worried about is the side effect his wallet will suffer from when his population reducing vaccine is rendered useless because of HCQ.
Like what, doctor Gates?
This current lockdown and end of “all fun/faith” we endure are a direct result of Bill Gates’ Event 201 scampaign last October where he gathered multinational corporations and health agencies to discuss how to proceed with a global lockdown in the face of the fictitious “South American Pig Virus”.
This is completely unprecedented and is entirely counter to all past pandemics. And even when restrictions were in limited place in the past, once spread had grown worldwide they saw no gain from lockdowns.
why is this guy so “involved” in all this??....one strange dude....i get a “Mengele” vibe off this weirdo..
Let’s see, dollar a pill or thousands for a patented treatment and a series of vaccines....
Follow the money.
My sister is a Gates worshipper, both Bill and Melinda. She quotes them about everything.
In the past five months myself and my family from 13 -62 year old have taken the drug in total maybe 100 plus doses and myself a number of double doses
Nothing
And I’m taking name brand plaquenil usuallly which is supposedly stronger
Although I have the generic too
This is all so stupid
He knows that statement is not correct. whatever folks may think of him, he is very smart and you have to assume very well informed on any topic he discusses.
there is an agenda here and I am coming to the conclusion that the vaccine is the near-term goal, and the primary agenda is NOT money.
there are countries that will make this mandatory. the election here may decide if the US goes that route. the vaccine will have essentially NO long- or even mid-term safety-side effect data. I suspect few people will even know what is being inserted (mRNA).
yeah, i don’t think i’d want Dr. Gates as my personal physician ...
Vaccine Bill at it, again.
If it is that dangerous, maybe we should make Lupus, malaria, and arthritis patients go without it.
= = =
Exactly!! Why hasn’t Vaccine Bill called out this ‘dangerous’ drug, before now?
Because we know why.
It’s not money they want, it’s power.
I was in a discussion with a friend and realized, that I could objectively say, that a billion people have taken hydroxychloroquine, and the rate of serious side effects is below any threshold any one can count.
What a serious jack @$$ Bill Gates is.
