Hydroxychloroquine Is 'the Key to Defeating COVID-19', Says Yale Epidemiologist
PJ Media ^ | JUL 26, 2020 1:11 PM EST | MATT MARGOLIS

Harvey Risch, professor of epidemiology at Yale School of Public Health, says that hydroxychloroquine is “the key to defeating COVID-19” in a Newsweek op-ed published this past week.

“I am usually accustomed to advocating for positions within the mainstream of medicine, so have been flummoxed to find that, in the midst of a crisis, I am fighting for a treatment that the data fully support but which, for reasons having nothing to do with a correct understanding of the science, has been pushed to the sidelines,” Risch wrote. “As a result, tens of thousands of patients with COVID-19 are dying unnecessarily. Fortunately, the situation can be reversed easily and quickly.”

And it can be reversed by the same medication that has become unnecessarily politicized by the media and the Democratic Party over the past several months.

“When this inexpensive oral medication is given very early in the course of illness, before the virus has had time to multiply beyond control, it has shown to be highly effective,” Risch explained. “Especially when given in combination with the antibiotics azithromycin or doxycycline and the nutritional supplement zinc.”

Earlier this month, a large peer-reviewed study found that hydroxychloroquine cut the mortality rate of COVID-19 by more than half and, contrary to previous claims by faulty studies, had no adverse effects on the heart.

For months the media has ignored both scientific and anecdotal evidence of the drug’s efficacy in treating COVID-19.

One wonders how this man’s standing and reputation in his field will hold up to the onslaught that is sure to come his way.

Give me some!

In fact, everyone over 60 should be able to go to their pharmacy and pick up their prescription after the pharmacist asks them a few questions or a scrip from their doc.

The feds have millions of doses....it’s cheap.

It’s why India has just over 30,000 deaths with 1.4 billion people not practicing social distancing with poor hygene. They use it for Malaria

Political motives, yes, but don’t discount the profit motive as well.

It is Trump’s fault so many people have died. If Trump had not mentioned anything about Hydroxychloroquine the media would not have condemned its use. Blood is on Trump’s hands. (need I use the sarc tag?)

He will stand taller and be freer than all of his Marxist critics.

Dr. Harvey Risch will be able to look himself in the mirror tomorrow morning, squarely in the eyes, and feel good that he chose the brave and honest path.

Democrat politicians and the MSM want people to die.

Between Covid-19 and the street riots it should be obvious.
