I’m still waiting for the double blind studies that demonstrate social distancing works.

I have a question for our FR veterans.

Is this drug anything like the quinine treatments Vietnam vets used to have to take? I recall my deceased husband mentioning getting a "quinine pill" and I think he might have also mentioned "quinine water" for Malaria treatment.

Zpak protocol is also known to have bad heart affects.

yea no bias there

When doctors prescribe, they look at the contraindications. In other words, if somebody had end stage renal failure, they wouldn’t prescribe it (but that person would die anyway).

For people without certain problems, there appears to be no risk, since a similar dosage has been in widespread use for years against a different disease (malaria) and people haven’t been collapsing in the streets from it.

Excellent comment, my good FRiend.

A more appropriate question is, "What do you have to lose if you don't take HCZ when you need it?"

Yes, an antidotal story or two doesn't mean much. But thousands of such reports from around the world without any bad side effects begins to mean much.

We don't have time for the well designed, double blind tests that will take us into next year. You fight a war with the army you have. Quantity has a quality all of its own.

As Barr said the presstitutes have gone Jihad on this drug just because Trump recommended doctors try t it!!!!

[Jeff Chandler]

Excellent comment, my good FRiend.

Thanks. I can't remember who I stole it from.

[READINABLUESTATE]

Trump pills bad.

“Plus you’ll be helping PDJT make a bunch of money from his HCQS factories.”

That’s a blatant, cold blooded, malicious lie.

What do you have to lose, strapping yourself into a car and driving 70 mph on the freeway? Potentially your life.

But we still do it. There’s a reason.

[Anima Mundi]

People have died from aspirin or penicillin reactions etc. The issue seems to be that they really really want to vaccinate everyone.

[Agatsu77]

What is wrong with these idiots. Ignoring Doctors talking about how well it works just to make Trump look bad.

Do not pass go, go directly to hell!

“Dr. Woosley, has there ever been a double-blind study to prove that the so-called ‘COVID-19 virus’ is, in fact, responsible for any symptoms or deaths? If not, then isn’t the entire snow job on this country completely unscientifically based, just as you’ve said HCQ is?

[PapaBear3625]

For a COVID-19 patient who is getting worse, the probability of an adverse reaction from HCQ is much less than the probability of dying from the virus.

[I want the USA back]

This is a direct attack on Trump. ASPIRIN can be dangerous to some people! I hope the people who attack him can’t get this drug when needed.

[Cold War Veteran - Submarines]

Not the same. Quinine was used as a anti malaria drug but that gave way to Chloroquine. Many of us who have spent time in various parts of the world have taken it, myself included.

[ConservativeMind]

It has nothing to do with bacteria.

It is simply making a channel open up for zinc to pass through cell membranes to stop RNA replication of the virus.
