Will Biden give in to the Hydroxy Effect
Townhall.com ^ | December 9, 2020 | Victor Davis Hanson

Posted on 12/09/2020 3:30:17 AM PST by Kaslin

There is as yet no known, easily accessible cure for COVID-19.

Over the past year, lots of old and new drugs and supplements -- Ivermectin, azithromycin, Remdesivir, hydroxychloroquine, vitamin D, vitamin C, zinc, aspirin, Pepcid and others -- have shown at least some anecdotal value in ameliorating the effects of early-stage COVID-19. Clinical physicians treating patients in hospitals often disagree with the research scientists conducting trials on the efficacy of all these treatments.

Yet only hydroxychloroquine has prompted furious partisan debate over its possible usefulness. Why?

Probably because Donald Trump endorsed its usage months ago. Almost immediately, the media, the university and government medical community, and the progressive political opposition declared hydroxychloroquine useless and dangerous. A recent media study from the National Bureau of Economic Research found that positive news stories about the research and development of COVID-19 vaccines barely outnumbered negative stories about Trump and hydroxychloroquine.

Trump's presidential endorsement was apparent proof of rank quackery. Yet a few recent second-look studies, especially abroad, suggest that hydroxychloroquine, a dirt-cheap, time-tested anti-malarial drug, can in fact offer help in treating some cases of COVID-19.

This Hydroxy Effect -- hysterical disavowal of anything Trump has endorsed -- is dangerous to the country at large.

How many important Democrats have been infected by the CCP virus since early 2020? Why? (and no, they are not more healthy, careful or cleaner than Republicans are)

BEFORE BEING SWORN IN, THE HO IS EVEN WORSE.

NO one has addressed what happens if Biden who was voted for, while the HO who was selected by Biden AS HIS VP was NOT, were to croak before Jan 20th, who becomes President. Ho is NOT A ELECTED PERSON as President. She can't just be selected, Only the Ticket head gets the votes. That Only leaves Trump as a ELECTED PERSON.

Republicans need to publicly announce when they test positive - and “do the right thing” - quarantine for the PC number of days, get the PC number of contiguous negative daily tests, submit to contact tracing, submit to “superspreader” allegations, and many other humiliations and inconveniences.

If a Republican were to fail to do this public penance, and then got caught hiding the fact that they had the Wuhon Flu - they know the fake news would blow it up into a coverup scandal - so they come clean, follow the protocol.

Democrats have no such need to come clean and follow protocol. When a Democrat tests positive they keep quiet and spare themselves the inconvenience and humiliation of public announcements, mandatory quarantines, contact tracing, “superspreader” allegations, etc..

Democrats know that even if they get caught hiding it - the fake news will bury the story - and even defend their right to privacy.

That is why it appears that only Republicans get Wuhon Flu

Good study. The only person who died in the study had received only one dose of hydroxy before entering the hospital. Which makes me think hospitalizing him killed him. In other words, not continuing the hydroxy/zinc killed him.

Dr. Vladimir Zelenko placed his entire career and reputation on the line to save te lives of his patients—and every other American denied proper treatment because of the RAT media and the compromised federal agencies. He deserves an award for courage.

Will Biden give in to the Hydroxy Effect?


As a preventative, or treatment, for himself n his basement??

I’m not going to give Townhall a click....so not sure what VDH is talking about, for sure.

If he’s talking about as Prez....then, VDH is off base even wondering, or suggesting. And, this would be the LAST time that I would ever give VDH so much as a glance, ever again.

HCQ: Double-blind, randomized controlled trials on COVID-19 must clearly show positive outcomes before physicians should prescribe it for treatment. Even though the drug has been used for other things for over 60 years and safety protocols are known.

Cloth Face Masks: It is illegal to even advertise them as having medical efficacy according to the FTC, but governments will mandate wearing them even though there are mixed results on their effectiveness.

HCQ: Prove it works (and we won’t believe you if you do)
Cloth Face Masks: Prove they don’t work (and we won’t believe you if you do)
And that is science.

Science has been corrupted by the Marxists. For them, there is only one truth and any avenue to power is acceptable.

The ends justify the means.

Biden thinks the Hydroxy Effect is when you dye your hair blond.

First of all if you want your hair blond, it has to be bleached. Now if you want a different color, then you dye it with the color you to have. Now hair dye is only temporary and only lasts so long. If you want it to last longer than you have use hair color, which doesn’t wash out.
