“Twelve additional patients were added to the five-day treatment regimen — hydroxychloroquine with azithromycin or Z-Pac and a zinc supplement — over the next few days.”
ZINC ping
I wrote a comment to NPR claiming they attached the doctor on racial grounds because they thought black doctors were inferior.
Hoist them by their own race card.
Sheesh, attacked, not attached. Sorry.
“I wrote a comment to NPR claiming they attached the doctor on racial grounds because they thought black doctors were inferior.”
Blacks are disproportionately suffering the worst COVID symptoms.
So Blacks are hardest hit by NPR’s attempt to block a promising COVID treatment.
NPR is lobbying against the health interests of Black Americans.
>>I’m not sure the Dr. in the protective gear is the same as the one in the inset photo.<<
I’m pretty sure it is, but it’s an AP photo per the credits. They probably lightened it up a bit (okay, a lot) to hide the fact that a prominent Texas Republican is black.
I’m serious. The AP is as bad as the rest of the media. Worse even, since most people think they’re unbiased and their stuff appears in local news all over the country.
There ya go. Throw that race card and knock over their glass of chardonnay that our taxes are paying for.
Smug little pukes. Would be fun to see them deal with a charge of racism.
There are no Obama Doctors. There are no Trump Doctors.
There are only Doctor Doctors.
Repeat until it is entrenched into your Memory.
Here’s the gratuitous fodder in the article:
“Armstrong said he didn’t inform patients’ relatives before using the drug, as the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends before physicians use any drugs not approved by the FDA for treatment of COVID-19.”
I don’t even know if what they wrote is true at this point, but with a Republican at the center of the story, I suppose they couldn’t resist. Note that is says “recommends” not “requires” or “demands.” But they had to get it in there.
The virus has one hell of an ally in the press; that is for certain, and all because Orange Man Bad. But at least they ran the article, I guess.
I wonder what the relatives of the other 41 patients are thinking as they read it? We’ll never find out because the press certainly isn’t going to run any of them down to ask them, especially since their response is likely to be “Why aren’t they giving it to our father too?”
If it saves one life it should be used. It has saved thousands which is why the DNC hates it.
really?
