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 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.

Totally true; indeed, hydroxy’s life saving efficacy is exactly why the DemonShits and their media accomplices so hate the hydroxy treatments. They desperately crave to do anything that will stop Trump. The COVID hysteria is the ideal thing because it’s shut down the great Trump rallies. Now, enter hydroxy, and there’s an effective, safe, cheap treatment for the disease that will make it no different than any other treatable disease, like flu, that can, and does, occasionally kill some people, but that’s no modern version of the Black Death. POOF! there goes all the justification for the lockdowns and other petty tyrannies that we’ve been harassed by, we can return to normal, the economy will start booming, and the Trump rallies will resume. IOW a total disaster for the DemonShits that they’ll do anything to prevent, including killing thousands of the most vulnerable Americans. Of course, being fanatical disciples of Stalin, Mao, Castro, and may other equally evil communist mass murderers, that doesn't bother them at all.

***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***

Cool, thank you!

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.

Actually, there are 2 big issues with it. First, as you mentioned, Donald Trump had something good to say about it, which is enough to trigger those with TDS. The biggest driver though IMO, is the fact that it is a 60 year old medicine for which there are no patents to encumber the production of it, and allow Big Pharma to jack up the price. Since the proper pockets are not going to be sufficiently lined, they are opposed to its use.

I've been laughing at these morons who are freaking out about a well known, and very well understood drug. We have 60 years of experience with it. We know how it affects people in ways that we'd never know with some brand-new shiny (patented) drug.

The third big problem is it could have ended the epidemic and shutdown. It was a prophylactic that makes stay-at-home, masks, social distancing, mail-in-voting rally cessation, and Joe-in-hiding ALL unnecessary. I am sorry to say DJT has not surrounded himself with competent advisors who could have all this in March or April at the latest.
