THE SMITH CENTER FOR INFECTIOUS DISEASES:
https://www.smithcenternj.org/
INTRODUCTION
The Smith Center for Infectious Diseases and Urban Health was developed to address infectious diseases in the inner city. This non-profit center, which is initially focusing on HIV, recognizes that inner city patients face many unique challenges in their daily lives. These challenges interfere with treatment of infectious diseases and foster an environment where infectious diseases are easily spread. Infectious diseases are different from other diseases in that successful treatment reduces their spread.
When you treat a person with diabetes, you treat that one person. When you treat a person with HIV, you greatly reduce the chances of transmission and treat the whole community. In the past 10 years there have been incredible advances in HIV treatment. The drugs are easier to take and extremely effective.
Inner city HIV+ patients in New Jersey have excellent access to physicians and clinics. The state provides free medications to those without insurance. Yet the number of new HIV cases per year in New Jersey has stayed the same for the past decade.
We at the Smith Center believe that by using novel approaches we can rid New Jersey of HIV. We have designed programs to incentivize patients to continue their medications. We have created a personal atmosphere, where each patient is known by her or his first name.

“We haven’t had anyone under 70 who didn’t have a very high BMI, or was pre or diabetic, get seriously ill,” he said. “This is amazing stuff.”
“Very High BMI”, does that me “fat”?
So, unlike the media clowns and Dem’s peddling doomsday, this guy has some legit ‘ street cred’.
Duke....Yale...Bethesda....impressive!
Yet the esteemed Democratic Governor Murphy of NJ has made it nearly impossible for primary care physicians to treat COVID-19 patients in the earliest stages by making hydroxychloroquine impossible to procure by regulations at local pharmacies. This bizarre man is mesmerized by his own voice and just glows as he gives his daily nauseating “briefings”. If this jerk would scream for supplies and access to hydroxychloroquine he would do infinitely more good than his endless babbling.
As long as Trump is for it, its all "anecdotal"......
I'm sure none of these Trump haters would want these "unproven" meds.
