CHICAGO, IL – The American Medical Association (AMA), in a surprising move, has officially rescinded a previous statement against the use of Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) in the treatment of COVID-19 patients, giving physicians the okay to return to utilizing the medication at their discretion.
Previously, the AMA had issued a statement in March that was highly critical of HCQ in regards to its use as a proposed treatment by some physicians in the early stages of COVID-19. In addition to discouraging doctors from ordering the medication in bulk for “off-label” use – HCQ is typically used to treat diseases such as malaria – they also claimed that there was no proof that it was effective in treating COVID, and that its use could be harmful in some instances.
However, on page 18 of a recent AMA memo, issued on October 30, (resolution 509, page 3) the organization officially reversed their stance on HCQ, stating that its potential for good currently may supersede the threat of any potential harmful side effects.

“How many lives were lost because of Trump Derangement Syndrome?”
**************************************************
THOUSANDS. But many of them were still able to vote ... 100% for Biden!
How many INNOCENT People DIED because of this?? When are these COLD BLOODED MURDERERS going to be ARRESTED?? Will they be held Civilly Liable for Wrongful Death for everyone they KILLED??
Too late. Ivermectin has superseded HCQ.
Got a feeling we’re going to see a lot of this kind of backing up.
Don’t tell me the medical community doesn’t play politics.
Gosh, I’m so shocked by this. I wonder what new medical evidence caused them to first recommend against the use of a drug that’s been around for over 60 years, then reverse themselves now.
Those must’ve been some really compelling studies. Where can we find them?
Can you take both?
Surprise surprise surprise
And now social media will allow it’s promotion.
AMA changes policy just in time for Biden to claim that his election ended CV19.
likely near 200,000 lives very well may have been saved had they had access to early HCQ and zinc
“Don’t tell me the medical community doesn’t play politics.”

Well, the leftist controlled AMA certainly does and has for years.
The day after electoral college vote for revolting demented grifter
BFL
this blatant hypocritical reversal is nothing but a huge middle finger to everyone even AFTER they knowingly suppressed the drug and cost 100’s of 1000s of lives
The Demon Driven left is pathetic
