Hydroxy Hysteria Reaching a Fever Pitch: COVID-19 can cause a fever, but nothing like the fever of hysteria gripping social media over Hydroxychloroquine

COVID-19 can cause a fever, but nothing like the fever of hysteria gripping broadcast and social media over hydroxychloroquine, a potential treatment for the Wuhan flu. Ever since President Trump mentioned hydroxy as a possible therapeutic, the media have castigated it as worse than rat poison. They've criticized any use of it in a constant barrage of fear porn, telling everyone that this 60-year-old drug would kill anyone who dared take it.

When Trump mentioned he was taking hydroxychloroquine as a preventative, Fox News crank Neil Cavuto had a seizure, telling his audience, “I cannot stress enough. This will kill you.” Tell that to those Americans taking hydroxy to the tune of five million prescriptions written each year.

Hydroxy was FDA-approved in 1955 and is taken for lupus and rheumatoid arthritis. FDA approval means the approved drug is both efficacious and safe. All of a sudden, after 60 years, the FDA decided hydroxy is no longer safe because of, “serious heart rhythm problems and other safety issues, including blood and lymph system disorders, kidney injuries, and liver problems and failure.” If it is so unsafe, why did the FDA not rescind its 60-year-old approval?

It is worth noting that diseases treated by hydroxy for the past half century can cause these problems as well. As can COVID, which if severe, can also cause death. So, the FDA deems it safe to treat those sick with lupus and autoimmune diseases with hydroxy but not those sick or hospitalized with COVID.

That makes much sense as blaming both heat and cold, blizzards and droughts, on global warming. But that’s what happens when medicine is practiced by bureaucrats beholden not to science but to politics.

Several days ago, a group of physicians called “America’s Frontline Doctors held a press conference

The big problem with HYDROXY is that it was first brought to the attention of the country by the most “evil, selfish, nasty, uncaring, corrupt President in history,” Donald J. Trump. His approval alone was enough to explode the “brains” of the Deep State Left.
If Trump urged parents to frequently wash their children’s hands, soap sales would drop through the floor. If Trump urged people to go outside and breathe deeply of the nice, fresh air CNN would tout the wearing of plastic bags over one’s head to keep allergy causing pollen from reaching the lungs.

he media fear that HCL, if generally could end this epidemic quickly and they fear ending it and Trump getting the credit for that that mus get him re-elected by a large margin. An EC win is bad enough but a popular vote win, even with the huge amount of Democrat vote fraud- probably 2 million plus extra votes in California and huge overcounts in all the big Democrat cities- would be life ending. the Left very much needs lots of people dying of the Chinese Flu right up through the election and maybe even after. That and the Riots would give them the excuse to clamp an iron lid on America in months instead of having to screw it down over four years should they win succeed in November.

Here is a link to some 60+ studies. One can click on the various studies for more details. The studies are done pre exposure, post exposure, early symptoms and late treatment. I have found this an effective way to show how early outpatient treatment is how HCQ is mos effective. https://c19study.com/?fbclid=IwAR25Lwhq-cDTVvg8CBzQl3O6elvS-3ShNs24ZdYgVC58PyCheR-_hUw5h90

Fauci does have documented connections with that WuHan lab. This suggests he knew the plague was coming and thus it is a release, not an accident. Perhaps he advised the Chinese as to the best time to fire their weapon. It got released in China because China feels it has lots of surplus people to waste and that way they could get it to America and Europe without bringing on massive retaliation, plausible deniability as it were.

Neil Cavuto must be one of the most stupid men ever born. Not to mention totally retarded, uninformed and uneducated.
If HCQ is such a killer, how come the FDA has approved it for over 60 years and hundreds of millions of people all over the world (including me) have been taking it to effectively treat malaria for close to 70 years with no problems at all?
The HCQ hysteria and craziness from the deranged left is the most stupid thing about this coronavirus hysteria. Tens of thousands have died unnecessarily for political reasons because of that.

Quite simply, the Left has blood on its hands. They’d rather thousands die than give Trump a victory with HCQ. We need to make this the narrative. Repeat it everywhere and often.

Add to that: don’t get tested for COVID-19 unless and until you experience symptoms.
