AMA Lied – How Many Died?
American Thinker ^ | 18 Dec, 2020 | Brian C. Joondeph, M.D.

Posted on 12/18/2020 3:50:18 AM PST by MtnClimber

Condemning hydroxychloroquine for treatment of early-stage COVID was all about getting Orange Man Bad.

The American Medical Association has been adamantly against hydroxychloroquine as a therapeutic for COVID for the past year. Just a few days before the presidential election they reversed course, reversing their opposition. Did they suddenly realize HCQ might have benefit in certain patient groups or were they lying for the past year? How many individuals died as a result of being denied potential lifesaving treatment?

The AMA is synonymous with organized medicine, despite myriad specialty societies that may better represent the needs of its member physicians. In fact, only 12 percent of practicing physicians belong to the AMA due to concerns that the AMA is more interested in its own finances and politics than the concerns of doctors.

When the AMA talks, media and the public listen, due to their perceived clout. Last spring, the AMA issued a statement critical of hydroxychloroquine as it was being used off-label in the treatment of COVID, not FDA-approved for this purpose with supposed “dangerous side effects.”

Quietly at the end of October, the AMA issued a new statement, conveniently overlooked by the media, giving the green light to doctors prescribing HCQ to their COVID patients.

RESOLVED, that our American Medical Association rescind its statement calling for physicians to stop prescribing hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine until sufficient evidence becomes available to conclusively illustrate that the harm associated with use outweighs benefit early in the disease course.

What BS. HCQ has been used for years for malaria protection. I have taken it myself. The leftwing AMA just wanted to hurt Trump and give the left the “pandemic power”. For that they have blood on their hands and should be sued, jailed and be subject to pretty much any retribution that angry survivors want to heap on them.

The AMA dropped its fig leaf years ago when it supported Obamacare.

And there's this....

A "preventative" compound that many researchers and doctors tell us will strengthen our immune system and prevent getting the disease in up to 75% of people.

Zinc $0.02 /day
Vitamin C $0.02 /day
Magnesium $0.024 /day
Vitamin D3 $0.02 /day.
Daily Preventative cost = 8.4 cents..... LESS THAN 10 CENTS A DAY!

And where has the MSM been on this???

And where was the media? Why did they spike the story?

I know why the MSM didn't report it, but why didn't "conservative" outlets such as Fox or Newsmax say something? Why wasn't it mentioned on talk radio?

And maybe add in a dose of quercetin for about 15 cents extra per day.

I thought that the AMA rejected this resolution and is still opposed to HCQ, thus insisting that more people die because Orangemanbad.

While saving many lives with his HCQ protocols, Doctor Zeb Zelenko of upstate New York was harrassed and investigated by the burgeoning left side jack booted section of the FBI.

They tried to upset his work but could not find fault with it, so they went away.

There has never been a more dasardly act of genocie foisted on The People by the left.

A butchers bill must be paid.

We have genocidal maniacs running the FDA, NIS and the FBI.

The Democrats China and the left wanted this pandemic and they want it to last as long as possible. This makes me think that the vaccines may not work for very long.

HCQ and Ivermectin are both brilliant prophylactics.

Why are both these not being massively distributed now that the AMA has reversed itself?

And another thing......

Back in May I posted the video of a group of doctors meeting on the steps of the USSC building to promote the use of hydroxychloroquine and its proven benefits.

Face Book gave me 30 days in FB jail for posting it!

What I heard is that the resolution everyone is referring to was proposed, but the Board did not take up a vote on it.

“Condemning hydroxychloroquine for treatment of early-stage COVID was all about getting Orange Man Bad.”

Absolutely true. That said, it looks like the AMA did not actually retract their position on hydroxy chloroquine. If they did not, be skeptical of anyone saying they did. This is starting to look like disinformation.

Actually, Ivermectin seems to be the best drug for prevention and early treatment (see India’s numbers, for example).

But Trump was right - the virus was both preventable and treatable with very low cost drugs...but the FDA obviously couldn’t support that, since it meant that Trump would have received even millions more (real) votes - not to mention the $$ implications for the drug companies and their future executives (i.e., FDA workers).

There are going to be an awful lot of people with blood on their hands to answer to God for this whole debacle.

I’d be in favor of publicly hangin’ em.
Mass murderers are what they really are.

I am sure it has nothing to do with FDA EUA approval.

[If there is an approved therapy, the FDA will not give EUA (Emergency Authorization Use) approval.]

Time to lockdown the AMA

Too good for them. Put them at midfield of a stadium full of their victims’ families.
