and World Wars I and Ii and Korea?
Inasmuch as NPR & PBS are NOTHING MORE than HOUSE ORGANS of the DIMocRAT Party “propaganda machine”, DEFUND both networks & let the DIMs pay for both is my suggestion.

Here are some more anecdotal results:
In Marseille the IHU-Méditerrannée Infection, the institute where dr Raoult is employed, has up until midday 11 April treated 2401 cases of COVID19 with the HCQ/AZ combination with 10 fatalities (0.4%). In the state and university hospitals in Marseille not affiliated with this institute 4100 cases have been treated with 63 deaths (1.5%).
It should be noted that both results so far are good.
Obviously factors such as age, comorbidities, other medication etc must be taken into account when comparing the two populations, however just making an initial comparison between the rough numbers tells us that the likelihood of such a difference occurring by chance alone is less than 0.0002 (ie 2 chances in 10 000).
Again, calculating from the rough numbers alone, dr Raoult's institute ought to have seen 37 fatalities. Thus, 27 people were saved by treating 2401 patients to a cost in medication per saved patient of less than $1800.
Now, we know from the latest publication by dr Raoult that he certainly did also treat the elderly and patients with other illnesses. So, what is going on here - and why are the leading medical authorities so negative?
PS Yes, chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine have side effects, and some are serious. However, in almost all cases I've been able to find they have either been described in conjunction with malaria treatment where the acute dosage is many times what has been proposed for the COVID19 patients, or they have occurred only after many years during chronic treatment (RA, lupus) with doses more reminicient of what is given to the COVID19-patients for a few days up to a week.
I was not talking about a test for hydroxychloroquine,which Fauci dismisses as anecdotally successful, and wants clinically tested.
I was sarcastically suggesting a test for chloroquine sulphate , a fish tank cleaner which killed a man and made his wife deathly sick.
If anecdotes don't count why dismiss 65 years of successful millions of uses of hydroxychloroquine as just anecdotal but tell people not to use the poisonous fish tank cleaner chloroquine sulphate,because of an anecdote.
My sarcastic suggestion for a study was on the poison and not on the well proven hydroxychloroquine wich works for Rheumatoid Arthriis, and Lupus, as well as covid19. -Tom
STOP FUNDING NPR NOW!!
*************
GOP will NEVER do it. They have had countless chances to stop funding this liberal propaganda machine and did nothing — which is the only thing the GOP is consistent at.
GOP = Fake Party.
what dose size did they give?
They gave us a large pink(IIRC) tablet once a week and small whites ones every day.
I know nothing about the actual tablets except the size and color.

According to the CDC:
Who can take hydroxychloroquine? Hydroxychloroquine can be prescribed to adults and children of all ages. It can also be safely taken by pregnant women and nursing mothers.
Who should not take hydroxychloroquine? People with psoriasis should not take hydroxychloroquine.
Who are you gonna believe, the CDC or some medical chemist?
Why are my tax dollars paying NPR to spew non-stop anti Trump propaganda?
Defund. Now.
Is hydroxychloroqine use common enough by doctors now that it could be called a standard treatment for COVID-19? If it’s not yet, I bet it’s getting there.
Sounds like a pre-med degree.
“Those infected with Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) would rather people die than Trump be correct”
Absolutely Correct.
Still More ComDem Insanity! Hate Driven, Anti-Trumpers.
Here’s an article from NPR reporting on Remdesivir being used by Gilead Sciences in a clinical trial with Covid-19 infected human guinea pigs. Despite admitting there were side effects including severe kidney damage in some patients, they don’t show nearly as much concern for safety of this brand new drug as they do hydroxychloroquine which has a 60 year track record of safe use. Not surprisingly, NPR has plenty of concern that Gilead might profit from the drug
“This facility and doctor must be destroyed and these residents must be sacrificed for the leftist narrative of “Orange Man Bad”.”
—Well put.
If NPR can’t be defunded, can’t President Trump clean out the leadership and replace with sane Americans? I know President Bush tried that and couldn’t take the heat, but President Trump actually has balls.
Thanks ScaniaBoy.
Just rename the Drug Obamachloroquine and it’s all good.
