A New York woman with coronavirus symptoms died last week after being prescribed a drug cocktail with known cardiac side effects, and family members say she was not tested for COVID-19 or for heart problems before receiving the medication. The family’s experience suggests that at least some physicians are prescribing hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin — drugs President Donald Trump has promoted to treat the coronavirus — outside of hospital settings, underscoring why major medical organizations including the American Heart Association have issued warnings about the drug’s potential to trigger heart arrhythmia in some patients.
In early April, Ligia, a 65-year-old Queens resident, was given the drug by her general practitioner after she reported having a bad cough, fever and shortness of breath. Ligia’s last name is being withheld on the request of her children.
While Ligia’s symptoms were consistent with those of COVID-19, the illness caused by the coronavirus, she was never tested for the virus, her brother-in-law, Lee Levitt, told NBC News. Ligia received the drug after speaking by phone with her doctor, Levitt said. She was never evaluated in person and received no heart screening or warning about the potential side effects. “It was handed over like a bag of cookies,” Levitt said. NBC News made two attempts to reach Ligia’s doctor for comment. A man who answered the office phone and identified himself as the doctor then said there’d been a misunderstanding and offered to take a message. Levitt acknowledged that the family does not know that the drug caused Ligia’s death. The family has not received a death certificate.

Every year, people are prescribed some basic antibiotic, allergy medication, anti anxiety pill, etc. Every year, a handful are the unlucky few who have a rare, bizarre, and fatal allergic or other kind of reaction.
“Ligia’s last name is being withheld”, because that way no one can check to see if she’s a real person or someone we just made up ...
(a gas pass)
If anything it was the azithromycin
It was reported online weeks ago that doxycycline was a safe and effective substitute for azithromycin, when the patient has certain cardio risk factors. Prescribing drugs without checking the patient’s overall medical history for contraindications is malpractice. Was this GP her regular doctor, or some guy manning the “virtual exam” phone bank?
Its not paranoid. Understanding how globalists and control freaks think is not being paranoid, it’s knowing your enemy.
As you use it paranoia is having delusions of systemic persecution. i tell you its a rational conclusion to draw seeing exactly what liberal socialists and one worlders and their media lackeys are doing.
They leave abortion murder mills open during a time they lock everyone else down to ‘save lives’, while sending squads of armored cops out to arrest churchgoers in their cars trying to have a service in their parking lots.
Just one example.
They may not have caused the trigger event, but they sure have exploited the opportunity it presented to them.
She called a Tele-doc. Sorry.....no money for you guys.
A few weeks ago I watched President Trump say not to take it if you have heart problems... check with your doctor. Either way neither an individual nor President Trump can prescribe anything.

Key sentences.
She was shamelessly pumping the news about the fish-tank cleaner couple [end of March] as if it were a fact that Trump made them take it.
And now for the rest of the story:
I went to her Twitter feed, and she's pumping Gilead's Remdesivir like it's the Second Coming of Christ.
She's a pimp for Big Pharma.
I find everything in this article highly suspect.
If her doctor prescribed those drugs without seeing her, without knowing about her heart condition, (yeah, I believe that one) then this is his fault and his alone.
But this comes from NBC so it is only reasonable to believe that everything in the story is garbage.

control over people by medicines and fda incestuous quid pro quo revolving door between fda and companoes
its about control
My friend’s sister almost died at Cedar Sinai 6 months ago from a botched c section..someone during the procedure must have cut a blood vessel and she started having internal bleeding..did she sue the hospital..NO..sometimes things can happen, millions of women have c sections and have no issues, she had one..would she have been better off not having the baby..with every drug no matter what there can be complications. My Mom when she takes prilosec her arrhythmia acts up she doesnt stop taking the drug, just less often
Assume this is fact free. The issue with cardiac patients isn’t the HCQ, it’s the Z-pak.
By the way, it was Dr. Fauci in 2009 that begged the USG to use HCQ on MERS patients.
Just sayin’.

Yes.......these guys FAKED a pickup explosion to simulate a gas tank defect.
NBC is a big show by a bunch of political operatives. It’s like a mafia operation
Probably want money.
This is the NBC reporter who ran the story about the couple who ate fish tank cleaner. Fake news.
