At least they’re getting the drug. Where my daughter works, they can’t even get N95 masks!

Among them is Katherine Seley-Radtke, who is a medicinal chemist at The University of Maryland, Baltimore County.

Is she a doctor? No, of course not.

So why is this medical chemist telling a medical doctor what they should and shouldn't be prescribing.

All these scientist know that it would take 3-5 years for a proper study to be conducted and in fact when a medication shows promising results it is often considered unethical to deny patients the medication or continue with a placebo based study.

Why give people who have a chance to live a placebo. Just use the people who have died without the medication as the designated “test group” for the DR Faust required “study”! There’s plenty of them that have been denied a chance to live!

Doctors could do a 200mg Hydroxychloroquine, 500 mg Azithromycin, and 220mg Zinc sulfate once a day for covid19, and double the dosage for Trump derangement syndrome.

It’s depravity.

And maybe criminal depravity since she’s openly advocating acts and actions that *will* result in deaths in order to further her political and ideological agenda.

But, I’m just a standard issue prol. Us prols aren’t allowed to know what the law says, means or does until we’re dragged up in front of a court and told by those appointed to manage us.

I don’t recall seeing in the article whether this nursing home combined the hydroxychloroquine with the zinc sulfate?

Dear Vanessa,

You article started with a lie.

The FDA HAS approved the use of hydrochloroquine to treat COVID19 through an emergency use authorization.

This whole pack of prevarication and liberal pretzel logic is nothing but the fevered ramblings of a misbegotten soul in the end stages of TDS.

I don’t see mention of the use of Zinc in this study. Bogus.

Every liberal person I know gets their news mainly from NPR. It is a slap in the face to every conservative American that we have to support NPR/PBS. Defund it NOW!

Maybe they should put that doctor and all the patients who recovered in jail - that’ll show them to take their health and decisions into their own hands.

If it turns out (and I'm sure it will) that HCQ & Zinc will cure patients of coronavirus...there will be hell to pay. The Left has done all it can to stand in the way and block this cure.

They must pay a price.

NPR is afraid those old people will get better..after all commies see the elderly as wastes of space who need to be killed off

If such a simple, cheap drug is an effective treatment, then the terrorization of the people by the media about this virus is *over*, and that’s the last thing the media want because they know then there is time to put the country back to work before the election. The MSM/DNC needs dead people and wants people out of work.
