FWIW, I took the HCQ, and SO glad I did. It nipped the covid sx in the bud within hours of starting it. No side effects. Ridiculously cheap, too.

There are countless examples of people being helped with early stages of Covid that took Hydroxychloroquine. Just a shame people like Neil Cavuto in fox had such a blind hatred to Donald Trump that they thought he was liking people for simply recommending it as a possible treatment.

Is there a version of this article written in English, by people who understand English? It doesn't really serve any cause to publish something so garbled an unintelligible.

Can someone explain to me how something written in 2024 can be referenced in something written in 2020?

It was easily known and early on that Hydroxychloroquine was a successful treatment for Lupus without side effects.

I found this out myself at the time. Lupus sufferers were concerned that the supply of Hydroxychloroquine might dry up if it were used for the pandemic.

The foremost experts on Lupus, who had been prescribing Hydroxychloroquine for YEARS, said that fears of side effects were ridiculous.

Exactly right. Wife has mild Lupus and has taken prescribed Hydroxycloroquine for around 12 years with no complications at all.

“Hydroxychloroquine was a successful treatment for Lupus without side effects.”

Not quite.

Spent years examining patients for Hydroxychloroquine retinopathy. It’s rare but significant, very.

“highly politicized, and seemingly coordinated attacks on HCQ and Trump were published by” nearly everyone.

A lie races around the world while the truth is still getting its shoes on.

So is this the kind of “misinformation” they want to ban? /s

Hydroxychloroquine has been used for very long time, it is pretty safe and very cheap. My friend with Lupus uses it for about 40 years, with no problems.

There were originally somewhat legitimate concerns, that if everybody suddenly starts using HCQ, the people who need it for survival (like malaria and lupus patients) may not be able to get it. Some people questioned the effectiveness of HCG in treating Covid. HCQ have some side effects and should be taken under medical supervision, widespread self-medication could hurt few people.

But knowing Trump ability to deliver, I am sure those would be quickly addressed (Like jumpstarting mass production and massive campaign to spread real medical information about the drug!) and hundreds of thousands of lives would be saved!

Instead, the media hijacked these original concerns and started witch hunt on Trump, using HCQ as an convenient tool.
Most people are not medical experts and the spread of rumors, claims and counterclaims let them confused.
Real medicine took a beating.
It was such a shameful abuse of media power, they should apologize for all the unnecessary deaths they caused.

The well vaxxed and boosted Neil Cavuto did his best to spread this misinformation.

The larger point of this article IS true, but I wonder whether the people who write these articles are just plain jaw-droppingly stupid or they deliberately discredit the truths contained in their article.

Any damned idiot knows dosage is the issue, and it doesn’t take a lifelong quest for the truth to discover that (1) the dosage of quinine in tonic water *was* actually vastly reduced precisely because of long-standing questions about its safety. The amount found in mainstream tonic-water brands is far too low to be effective for malaria, etc. (2) that unlike hydroquinone, quinone isn’t subject to the FDA because it’s a naturally occurring substance. FFS, this is as stupid as claiming that cigarettes MUST be safe because they’re permitted for sale without a prescription. (3) quinine isn’t even subject to the safety standards of an additive or a supplement because it’s so damned old; it’s more like peanut butter doesn’t even have to be safe (despite containing carcinogens and hydrogenated oils).

All that said, PROVIDING YOU DO NOT HAVE A CERTAIN TYPE OF HEARTBEAT DEFECT, quinine should be quite safe.

I remember early in the pandemic when Dr. Oz tried to research the relationship between people with lupus who took Hydroxychloroquine and their contracting, severity and death from Covid. He was completely rebuffed in his attempt to find this information. Someone should still do a study on this.

Big Pharma and big government colluders with big Pharma care far more about their money and hating Trump than they do about savings lives.
