Today, Governor Kristi Noem announced that South Dakota, with Sanford Health leading the effort, will be the first state with a comprehensive, statewide clinical trial to determine the effectiveness of hydroxychloroquine in treating and preventing COVID-19.
From day one, Ive said were going to let the science, facts, and data drive our decision-making in South Dakota, said Noem. Throughout last week, I communicated with White House officials to let them know that South Dakotas medical community was ready to step up and lead the way on research efforts. I made direct requests to President Trump and Vice President Pence to supply us with enough hydroxychloroquine so that it could be made available for every hospitalized person the state may have as well as for those healthcare workers on the frontlines and those in the most vulnerable populations.
Today, Im pleased to report we have received the initial doses we need, and thanks to the leadership of Sanford Health and the assistance of the medical teams at Avera and Monument Health, were going to be the first state in the nation to do a comprehensive clinical trial to assess whether hydroxychloroquine can treat and perhaps even prevent COVID-19.

Is it ethical to give a placebo to a sick person?
******************************************
With informed consent, it is. These double-blind, placebo controlled trials are the way that new medications get approved and accepted by the medical professionals.
This is mot medical advice:
Hydroxychloroquine in its role of ionophore has a “poor man’s version”: red onion (quercetin component). Put some red onion in your salad and take a 30-50mg zinc tablet. Get yourself a bottle of oil of oregano and empty gel caps. The oil of oregano is a natural antibiotic. Follow the dosage on the bottle. Take daily or per one’s health advisor. I can recommend a brand of oil of oregano, if you PM me.
Bkmrk
I like the way this lady thinks. Go get em Gov!
This female governor is a potential presidential candidate some day.
Yep. Our “woman” is a booby, _itch.
Michigan’s that is...
Next time keep it short and sweet.
This woman is a true conservative and a real republican . Not like the rino i have here in New Hampshire with Chris Sununu. I will be supporting her in 2024c if she decides to run and don jr decides no it too.
No it is a crime against humanity to withhold a drug that you believe to be helpful in treating a disease in order to see how many die. Proof be d@mned if they get well that is good enough, real proof will come over time, like it always did before FDA. I have a doctor that chews me out because my BP is 140/80 says it must come down to 120/60 but also says I am maxed out on med levels. Cardiologist says he is full of it. I am 81 years old so who should I listen to?
Most doctors nowadays are as politically brainwashed as the rest of the country. A lot of group think and reliance on “evidence based” practice ...which is normally good, but in a war-like plague, is a handicap. Some are speaking out, but are immediately shunned by the medical “establishment.”
Do you know, how many died today in Dakota?
What do you get your quinine from? are you brewing it from cinchona, or using a pre-made non-carbonated ‘tonic’?
I ordered quinine tincture, a couple of months ago.
I add a dropperful to my homemade soda water.
I will try to find company that I ordered it from....it was on my old laptop :(
I think Pence has his VP nominee in 2024
