I was on FB today and someone posted a picture of President Trump and his family and an article stating his family invested in this hydroxychlorquine. I have heard he had minimal prior investment. But so what, many cases haven proven that it is working. I wouldn’t even ask that anti-Trump dude if he’d take it if he was in dire need...Not wasting my time. This just hardens me as a Trump voter.

If Trump ignored it with the success reports coming in from both domestic and foreign medicos, he would be utterly pilloried!

Now the machinery to produce these drugs in very large quantities is coming on line. Yes the people who have needed it as a long-term maintenance drug are suffering from shortages, that has to be admitted, but this is a short term thing with lives being saved on the Wuhan side.

These are victims too, but from China, not from Trump!

Yeah that’s a typical liberal attack.
The “Trump pill” is a generic drug.
Probably mfg by 30 outfits around the world.
Isn’t retail in the US about 15 bucks for a month?

Three people walk into a Brooklyn Dr. office, one has Corona virus, one has painful arthritis and one has manageable Lupus (as is the case for 90% of those afflicted) The Dr. only has Choloriquine for one of them for for the next few weeks time. Who gets it?

It’s really not that hard....except for the Maya L. Harris’s of the world. It’s unfathomable how dumb she is.

You posted 2 anti-HCQ articles in a row. I’m sensing an agenda.

First Trump is wrong to tout HCQ because it doesn’t work.
Now, he’s wrong to tout HCQ because it does work.

Someone very close to me has lupus and she's White, BTW.

I sked her if she had enough and she said she has quite enough for many months.

She contacted everyone in here lupus group.

All good.

All the pharmacies that she deals with?

No problem.

Thought obamacare was supposed to take care of all of these health inequities.

He apparently has it in one of his mutual funds. I personally have no idea what stocks are in most of my mutual funds. Most have over 100 different investments. Some have over a thousand.

Hydrocloroquine is a generic drug. Any pharmaceutical company can make it.

Which makes the idiotic lib accusation all the more absurd.

RE: You posted 2 anti-HCQ articles in a row. I’m sensing an agenda.

I’m sensing someone who is only looking for what he wants to look.

Have you looked at the NUMEROUS positive articles I’ve posted about HCQ?

You are talking to one of the most prolific Hydroxychloroquine posters in FR. Just search for my Screen Name.

Now, why do I post contrary articles? Well, for knowledgeable readers to refute them. You are most welcome to do so as well.

If you are unable to do so, I suggest you sit back and wait for others to post.

This forum isn’t a ONE SIDED forum.

I have to hand it to her. She found a way (albeit risible) to make a potentially life-saving drug racist due to a purely conjectural shortage that does exist. Oh, and another poster on FR who said she had lupus pointed out that since the drug has a half-life in the body of several weeks, she can skip several doses and be none the worse for wear. So, no shortage, and no likely negative effects even if disruptions were to develop. Like I said, I gotta hand it to her.

Investing in hydroxy is a lot like investing in a generic process fir producing birth control pills—not much real profit because just about anybody with a license can make the drug.

first, SHE has other medications which work,
the infected do not.

second, the half life of her meds is about a year.

what an ungracious @#%$h

In a couple of weeks, when producers finish ramping up, we are going to be FLOODED with the drug.

The lupus people can survive .

If she has lupus and is taking hydrochloroquine she is functionally immune. So, no it isn’t dangerous to her. People who took hydrochloroquine on board cruise ships for malaria or lupus didn’t get sick.

Due to the ramping up of production of the drug, there will soon be a glut of it, and prices should drop for lupus patients and others who use it.
