Trump and Fox even pronounced OPENLY their hope that Gilead's Remdesivir would work. It's just that media is sooo tone deaf, they keep harping on Hydroxychloroquine alone.
Of course, this article now begins to tout Remdesivir. It says: "The thing that's interesting is that Trump could have bet on remdesivir." <--- WHY? Has it been proven already compared to Hydroxychloroquine?
Secondly, Trump did not say it is the silver bullet. He said Let doctors try it. He even said: "It may work, it may not work, but let's try". How is that calling it a silver bulet?
This article's title is attacking strawmen.
Why? Because there are 100 plus million doses just laying around at a buck a dose. Plain fakery, again.
I wonder how many Americans have been saved by Hydroxychloroquine since we started using it for the virus?
I really do not expect any better from the Beijing Post. Does anybody?
Yeah, but if the president supports Remdesivir it will become evil.
A quick look at Chinese money and the StanfordAdvocate.com (not an .edu) makes it clear that this is a Chi-Com hit piece.
China has been trying to obtain patents and hoard all these drugs since the first outbreak was discovered. Very telling.
There is not, as of writing, any medication which has been shown in controlled trials to significantly hasten recovery from covid-19,
They sure as heck do not want anyone to learn that simple old vitamin C in high doses is actually a VERY potent anti-viral and is already in use saving lives from this virus.
I for one have HAD ENOUGH of the deliberate supression of life saving information from the WHO, Facebook, Google and DR.FAUCI.
WHY do we tolerate life saving information being withheld when our loved ones are dying. ENOUGH! Stand up and do something. We are AMERICANS, NOT A BUNCH OF SHEEP BEING LED TO SLAUGHTER!

AND THIS:
The establishment press is truly proving it’s absolutely worthless to Americans in a time of real crisis.
If that statement is true then it is just another example of CIA disinformation aimed at undermining President Trump.
How would the CIA be making medical recommendations that are the opposite of the FDA and CDC?
Hydroxychloroquine, Chloroquine, and Azithromycin are all FDA approved drugs in widespread use. The first two are often prescribed to tourists headed for the beach somewhere that has malaria bearing mosquitoes. Does any sensible person believe that the CDC, doctors, and drug manufacturers would recommend a drug for vacationers, including their children, that had such a high risk it was too risky for CIA agents?
Another day another piece of fake news from wapo. Hydroxychloroquine/Zinc works
Its been proven over and over again and is now being used in over a hundred countries.
The rancid media really have blood on thier hands.
Dr. Zelenko’s out-patient treatment regimen, which costs only $12, is as follows:
1. Hydroxychloroquine 200mg twice a day for 5 days
2. Azithromycin 500mg once a day for 5 days
3. Zinc sulfate 220mg once a day for 5 days
Hope it works. We have 30 million doses on hand thanks to the President.
The author is a mealy-mouthed hack, relying weasel words and phrases to cast doubt and confusion. Doesnt have the gonads to just come out and say what is on his mind.
More jingoistic propaganda.
The oeft does not want HCQ therapy to be seen as effectibe !
Why?
becuiase HCQ and Zinc vitamine can be used as a preventative to Covid-19 infection.
And the HCQ can help open America’s economy quickly.
Remdesivir cannot be used as a preventative.
The WAPO bastards are still trying to hoodwink America while we all pay the Red Chinese butcher’s bill.
HCQ therapy for 5 days costs $20.00, can be taken a home.
The Demrezafear, $1000.00, only in hospital
Who is yer daddy?
RELEASE THE HYDROXY-CHLOROQUIN plus Zinc as a Preventative.
Put the country back to work.
LETS ROLL!
MUST SEE here:
Dr. Zelenko’s HCQ therapy letter:

” Why promote that drug, and why so energetically?”
Why not, since the media aren’t doing anything to help discover/create a better treatment.
The LSM need to get off their ample butts and and shut themsselves down to limit continuing fear mongering.
President Trump touted HCQ AND Remdesivir in that first presser when he said HCQ/azithromycin combo looks like it might help. The media are such liars.
Here are the findings of a front-line emergency doctor in NYC. You can’t be any more front-line than Dr Sam Girgis (@DrSamGirgis) and he’s very fair. In a crisis, I wouldn’t mind if he was my doctor.
From his tweet yesterday:
These #COVID19 treatments appear to help patients:
1. Proning to improve hypoxia & prevent intubation
2. HCQ/Zpak/Zinc if used early otherwise useless <—
3. Remdesivir <———————
4. IL6 inhibition (we use Tocilizumab & Sarilumab) <-—
***This is our experience but more studies are needed
There are other ‘anecdotal’ stories that I picked up on twitter where HCQ/Zpack (with or without zinc) has helped with patients with breathing issues or bad xrays. However for some of the NYC patients I noticed that the doctors had to quickly escalate to Remdesivir and/or Tocilizumab. I think NYC/NJ might have got a more severe covid19 strain than other cities.
If given the choice between anecdotal evidence and a “controlled study” by someone hoping to sell their own product I must admit I trust raw data over controlled results.
A a hundred Doctors say it works in the field. A medical researcher paid by someone with an agenda says his artificial study shows it does not work.
Philip Bump has suffered through his life with a name like that, so BUMP him out of your vision and totally disregard what he says.
He is a wounded journalist.
I hope what he wrote wasn’t too disturbing.
