Sharyl: Camps largely divided along political lines. Many right-leaning media figures sided with hydroxychloroquine while the left-leaning press backed remdesivir. Each accusing the other of ignoring real science.
Dr. William O’Neill: I've never seen science politicized in 40 years of practice.
Sharyl: Cardiologist Dr. William O’Neill is a medical director at the Henry Ford Health System in Detroit, Michigan where they’re studying both remdesivir and hydroxychloroquine.
Some people in the media are treating hydroxychloroquine as if it's something that's being pitched by charlatans, it's dangerous, and that's been debunked and discredited. What do you make of that?
Dr. O’Neill: I think that's very harmful. President Trump touted it early and so then the media set out to disprove and discredit it without any regard for science. I think those of us that are actually involved in the scientific endeavor feel that there is some value to it and it has to be tested.
Sharyl: Dr. O’Neill says he’s prescribed hydroxychloroquine to help numerous coronavirus patients and saw improvement in all of them. He’s less impressed, so far, by remdesivir.
Dr. O’Neill: There's a lot of hype for the drug. I saw the original new England Journal article study and I saw the Lancet study and to me it's just like a big Ho Hum. I just don't see a big benefit to it.
Sharyl: Adding to the drama and confusion, a draft version of a study was accidentally published last month showing remdesivir did not help most coronavirus patients and caused such serious side effects, 18 test subjects were taken off the drug. Gilead, the maker of remdesivir, did not respond to our interview requests but has said it ended the study because it couldn’t find enough volunteers to take part.

Drs. Ramin Oskoui and Ivette Lozano on the Establishment Rage Against Hydroxychloroquine
Sure, the American Indians found aspirin in the inter bark of the creek willow.. Lots of pot use to grow along the railroad tracks because of the hemp rope trade..(?)...
Thanks for that..
That worked.
I took it when I was in Korea from Nov 1955 -all of 1956 and stopped in early 1957 when I returned home.
No problems at all for me or anyone else I knew who took it, and that would be dozens of other people who took it.
I will be 85 this June so I guess Hydroxychloroquine didn't shorten my life either. -Tom
Maybe he meant to say "medicine politicized".
It has also become far more centralized.

I'm happy that helped. I HOPE that you can help me find the HCQ here in Pittsburgh ......... or bless you.
Thanks you! Sorry I’m a few days late.
Make HDQ Patented again!/s
Excellent link to QT and HCQ
The VA has obviously been co-opted.
They produced a “study” by giving HCQs to those in dire straits with lungs already full of exudate. They knew, or should have known, that HCQs can only be of help in slowing viral replication to prevent the later severe complications from the overwhelming cytokine storm. It must be used early or it won’t help. The later it is used the less effective.
And, no mention of con-commitment use of Zn. Critical error.
Then they used the obvious outcome as “proof” that it doesn’t work
