Fox News medical correspondent Marc Siegel used a very personal example to advocate for treating coronavirus patients with hydroxychloroquine.
Appearing Tuesday on Tucker Carlson Tonight, Siegel shared a story of a patient who used the drug with a surprise ending.
Siegel pointed out that there have been multiple preliminary studies that have shown that hydroxychloroquine, an antimalarial drug, has a positive effect on coronavirus patients, despite potential harmful side effects.
“If you’re a doctor, and you take into account the side effects here, and there are some, you may decide that it’s well worth it for particular patients,” Siegel began.
“Tucker, I want to tell you about a 96-year-old man in Florida who said one night, ‘I don’t think I’m going to make it. I feel very weak. The end is coming. I’m coughing, I’m short of breath, I can’t get up from the couch,’” Siegel recounted. “The next day he was on hydroxychloroquine and antibiotics, per his cardiologist, he got up the next day, he was fine." “This man is my father, Tucker,” Siegel said. “Wow,” Carlson responded. “That couldn’t be a clearer and heavier example.”

President Trump has touted the efficacy of the drug, although Anthony Fauci has cautioned that reports of its success are anecdotal.
“The data are really just at best suggestive. There have been cases that show there may be an effect, and there are others to show there's no effect," Fauci said on CBS's Face the Nation. “So I think in terms of science, I don't think we could definitively say it works.”
A Democratic Michigan state lawmaker also made headlines when she thanked Trump after she claimed that her COVID-19 symptoms “went from zero to 100 in [no] time” after taking the drug.

“This man is my father, Tucker,” Siegel said. ---
THIS is going to change things.
It was a very poignant moment. He set it up really well. I rewound the show on the DVR to play for my wife. She teared up. So did I but I pretended it was the wine. :-)
Saw this live. It was awesome
Dr. Siegal is also the one that reported that if you have
the other symptoms ( fever, coughing, headaches) and you also seem to have lost your sense of smell and taste, then that is a strong indication , which anyone can read, that you have IT
“This man is my father, Tucker,” Siegel said.

..... this almost knocked me off the couch.
This story is going to be everywhere tomorrow (except on the evil MSM).
Yesterday there was a female Democrat congresslady from Michigan, who was released from the hospital after taking Hydroxychloroquine, after Trump announced to the nation that it appears to work...
A democrat.
Trump called her, to congratulate her.

The treatment of hydroxychloroquine and antibiotics are working beautifully in a prophylactic manner on the coronavirus.
Why doesn't the government pick one state (preferably PA.) and allow anyone who wants this drug to take it late August or September. Then we can watch as one state stays nearly disease free throughout the next flu season.
:-)
He was 96 years old he definitely would have died!!
(Excerpt) from the article ......
This young black woman was so grateful to Trump she just knew she was not going to make it!!
THIS is going to change things.
Nope, the cnn pimp doctor gupta will say just another anecdote and you can't prove it through a blind study.
It really works and the guy that needs to say it is that little prick, fauci and his side kick, Doctor models and data and studies.
Those two doctor slugs will never say a good word about HCQS until one of them has to take it to save their sorry asses.
Trump likes it, it is bad by definition.
Dr. Mark Seigel can say that it saved his dad's life, and that won't change a thing as the media will just ignore it.

I hear you.
But, see post # 6.
Meanwhile, during the daily coronavirus briefing, President Trump repeated a similar story of Democrat state representative Karen Whitsett from Detroit who said that hydroxychloroquine saved her life, and because she is black and Trump said she "spoke well, told a beautiful story," the MSM will slam him for being racist.

thanks for sharing that link- powerful testimonial-
President Trump has touted the efficacy of the drug

Touted. I’ve read this phraseology about 1000 times. It’s almost as if the MSM get marching orders.
Oh man that is great!
I’m not that old but old enough for it to be a problem.
What I learned from this is that if I get this China Plague I have to have my cardiologist as my attending physician.
He did a great job in that capacity when I was hospitalized twice with Pulmonary Embolisms.
That Doctor Siegel is cool, I’m so glad his dad pulled through!
Yeah, talking points.
It’s so obvious when a host like Carlson or Hannity show a dozen clips or so with lame media tv idiots all saying exactly the same thing!
Dr. Siegel choked up. So did I.
It seemed to catch Tucker by surprise and he struggled a bit finding what to say.
