Prominent Republican physician champions hydroxychloroquine
Galveston Daily News ^ | April 12 2020 | Kathryn Eastburn

At the center of a daily tit-for-tat between President Donald Trump and leading infectious disease specialist Dr. Anthony Fauci, debating the advisability of using the anti-malarial drug hydroxychloroquine to treat COVID-19, is Dr. Robin Armstrong, a Texas City-born hospitalist at Mainland Medical Center, graduate of La Marque High School and the University of Texas Medical Branch, and former president of the Galveston County Medical Society.

Armstrong is also a leading Texas Republican, member of the Galveston Pachyderm Club, delegate at the 2016 Republican National Convention that nominated Donald J. Trump and national party committeeman for Texas.

As of Sunday, 39 COVID-19-infected patients under Armstrong’s care at The Resort at Texas City nursing home completed a five-day regimen of hydroxychloroquine.

“After Sunday, none of them will be on it anymore,” Armstrong said. “We’re just happy the patients are better.”

Armstrong based that observation on how the 39 nursing home residents are looking, on no evidence of increased shortness of breath and that no one who started on it has been sent to the hospital.

“That’s a positive result,” he said.

Sounds like a good replacement for Fauci to me.

The drug combo works, but big pharma including Bill Gates and Dr Doom want a vaccine since it will make them billions

And for Hillary-Gates's littleman weasel, THAT combined with the thousands and thousands of recovered patients, IS SCIENCE / SCIENTIFIC data.

Mister President, fire that 'little nettle' traitor!

Why is there ANY “debate” about this at this point? The MSM is really on a vendetta to classify the HCQ + AZ + Z treatment as “controversial.” There are millions of people who have used HCQ for years without serious side effects. There are thousands (maybe tens of thousands?) who have used the HCQ + AZ + Z protocol and show improvements within hours or a day and who now are fully recovered.

Even that evil witch in Michigan changed her tune in less than a week but never graciously acknowledged that she was following Trump’s suggestion.

If you read through the article, the reporter sounds like a leftist who tries to slam him for using the therapy, because Trump endorses it.

I’m not sure the Dr. in the protective gear is the same as the one in the inset photo.

HCQ is old news. It’s off patent so it’s going to be cheap. Used for malaria.

Ahh I see a REPUBLICAN physician. So party his affiliation means he is willing to lie about the efficacy of the treatment do we have that right?

President Trump talked about this weeks ago. The left blocked it all. How many died and how much did our economy suffer in those weeks?

Just had to put “Republican physician”, eh?
How come Dimbulbcrat physicians are not identified as such?
Especially when their “models” and predictions have proved to be as accurate as those saying that the Hilla-thing won.
It’s almost as if....nah, couldn’t be...that would mean that the media is biased.

Perish the thought.

Even Fredo is using Quinine (the more natural form of Hydrochloroquine). Quinine has been used for thousands of years. Try googling the origins of Quinine or Hydrochloroquine. You will be pleasantly surprised!

We can’t afford NOT to use HCQ as a treatment option regardless of what Fauci and Cuomo suggest.

This was NPR's take on Dr. Robin Armstrong:

COVID-19 Patients Given Unproven Drug In Texas Nursing Home In 'Disconcerting' Move

If NPR wants to kill its listeners (who are not just Blue voters but an older, vulnerable demographic) I guess we can’t stop them.
