The Food and Drug Administration on Sunday issued an emergency use authorization for hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine, decades-old malaria drugs championed by President Donald Trump for coronavirus treatment despite scant evidence.

The agency allowed for the drugs to be "donated to the Strategic National Stockpile to be distributed and prescribed by doctors to hospitalized teen and adult patients with COVID-19, as appropriate, when a clinical trial is not available or feasible," HHS said in a statement, announcing that Sandoz donated 30 million doses of hydroxychloroquine to the stockpile and Bayer donated 1 million doses of chloroquine.

Despite many HUNDREDS now totaling THOUSANDS of cases where this drug in conjunction with Aziromyacin and Zinc resulting in a near 100% recovery rate the MSM continues to Push the UnProven meme simply because there has been no Gov’t Bureaucracy approved double-blind research which would require many many months, if not several years to complete.
All the while ignoring the many many reports of this combo’s successfully treating so very many people worldwide.
Why?
For one reason and one reason only. President Trump touted it early on as a very hopeful treatment. And, the Dems/Media’s TDS requires that they never ever under any circumstances, no matter how serious the circumstances, ever give President Trump any acknowledgment whatsoever about anything at all.

MOST people heard POTUS and know the media are foaming at the mouth idiots.

[[The Food and Drug Administration on Sunday issued an emergency use authorization for hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine,]]

What in the world took them so long? We could have avoided 2000 deaths had they done this right from the start-

30 million pills were donated- so now there is no excuse to not use it- it is way way more than we’ll ever need- a typical dose is just 10 pills (2 pills a day for 5 days) per person

So if there are only around 300,000 people that get the virus- only 10% will be so severe they could die from it according to info that’s been discussed- so that would be only 30,000 that would need it- Times 10 = just 300,00 doses only

We could even give every one of the 300,000 10 pills and still have plenty left over for other conditions- like lupus- so there would be no shortages

Israel is also donating millions of doses-

The only issue will be all the people taking it as a preventative- but i think there will still be plenty in the Us in very short order even for that

Actually the first person who deserves credit is Laura Ingraham, she is the FIRST person to have mentioned this drug on her TV show, she has taken it twice I think that President Trump heard what she had to say about it and started mentioning it too

That’s right. She had Rigano on.

He was so intense about it she cut him off.

But the guy knew he was on to something.

Here was my Facebook post from 10 days ago:

“Instead of wasting $1T on a bailout, why can’t everyone just get 10 malaria pills and let us all go back to living our lives?“

yeah i know- There shoudl be no, or at least very few deaths since this drug is now available- maybe the ones that did die died from complications due to other conditions perhaps? I’d guess that soem folks that are given the drugs will still die because they are so sick with other conditions

Your numbers MAY be off.

This virus is wacky. You dont know in the beginning when you get the tickle in your throat if you are going to be one that ends up on a ventilator in a few days.

This drug seems to be more effective the sooner it is taken.

The advent of the 5 minute test will be helpful if the hospitals/doctors will use it near the beginning instead of when you are gasping for breath and need to be put on oxygen.

To get this under control patients going to have to be given it sooner than at deaths door

Hey in 2004 the use of Chloroquin for SARS infection was studied extensively. And proven effective extensively.
It’s all documented at Pubmed.
