This "reporter", Vanessa Romo, who formerly worked for the New York Times, takes a totally negative tone to a very positive story. One resident out of 135 died at a Houston, TX nursing home while administering Hydroxychloroquine (Trump Pills). No contrast with the Kirkland, WA nursing home that did not use Hydroxychloroquine (didn't know much about it at the time) where 35 out of 120 residents succumbed to COVID-19.

She tries to indict Doctor Armstrong with his practice hospital and smear the nursing facility detailing their latest review by Texas H&HS. And why? Because Dr. Robin Armstrong is a "GOP Activist" and used his Republican connections to get the medication.

She quotes one researcher with lots of negative things to say about Hydroxychloroquine but doesn't bother to provide any of the very positive anecdotal evidence from usage around the world.

Those infected with Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) would rather people die than Trump be correct.

But scientists argue that relying on observational, uncontrolled evidence can be misleading and that the only way to truly prove a drug is working is through carefully controlled clinical trials. And, contrary to Armstrong's assertion that hydroxychloroquine "has virtually no side effects," it is known to have serious negative health impacts. That is why so many in the medical community worry about prescribing it without such proof.

So, "Some Scientists", please tell the world, SPECIFICALLY, what causes those few sample patients to experience "serious negative health impacts".

I have seen reports that people with super-duper-excessive iron stuff in their blood can and do experience "serious negative health impacts" from using Hydroxychloroquine. This is the sort of stuff that nobody wants to explain, or hear explained, or allow to be discussed.

Somebody might start asking why these people have super-duper-excessive iron stuff in their blood, and that is nobody's business to know.

It is so much "nobody's business" that the commie Democrats are willing to let Billions of people die needlessly, than to allow the widespread distribution of Hydroxychloroquine and Z-pack that cures COVID-19 in 99+ percent of the cases.

These paralysis by analysis medical people want ongoing studies before accepting anecdotes as facts.

So remember this anecdote: Mar 23, 2020 · In fact, a man recently died and his wife is in critical care after they ingested chloroquine phosphate, a chemical found in aquarium fish tank cleaner products.

Maybe chloroquine phosphate fish cleaner products need a study as only a couple of anecdotes show it to be harmful when it might be beneficial.

How about a study of 200 people with half getting a placebo to determine if this anecdotal evidence of poison is a fact?

Anecdotes don't seem to impress some of these medical people.

Studies must be done to validate or disprove these anecdotes. -Tom

A cheap, doctor’s choice cure messing with Bill Gates, George Soros, China and Big Pharma’s expensive and mandatory cure is NOT tolerable!

"To be clear, no one is worse than when they started," he said emphatically. "From my perspective, it's irresponsible to sit back and do nothing. The alternative would have been much much worse."

This virus is a HUGE challenge to doctors. It does not play by the rules many of them understand, and they are sharing knowledge of their successes. They share specific information on oxygen supplementation, pressure treatment, ventilator settings and at least a dozen other off label drugs, all based on (gasp) "anecdotal" evidence.

But Trump only spoke of HCQ, so regardless of the mounting empirical evidence, that option is bad and disconcerting.

Armstrong denies he was swayed by politics or Trump's championing of the malaria drug in his decision to implement it at the nursing home before it has been proven safe and effective against COVID-19.

Vanessa Romo KNOWS that it will be a year or two before HCQ will be "proven safe and effective against COVID-19".

So, she's advocating killing people.

Fortunately, there's a list for people like her.

And she's on it.

Katherine Seley-Radtke, who is a medicinal chemist at The University of Maryland, Baltimore County is on the list, too.

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

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.

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.

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.

Katherine Seley-Radtke is not a physician,
and yet as an antiTrump Democrat, she
get to play one at The University of Maryland.

Like Yale, this “universities”
push unauthorized people and frauds
to PRETEND they are physicians.

NPR should be defunded.

I'm sorry, a "medicinal chemist" is *not* a medical doctor. This person has no standing to comment on medical treatment.
