For the press, it's quite the "gotcha" dance.
The National Institutes of Health's refusal to recommend the use of the common anti-malarial drug hydroxychloroquine in combination with the antibiotic azithromycin for the treatment of COVID-19, was proof positive according to the "science" that President Trump was wrong about the use of the drug, as well as an incompetent who was touting quack medicine, given that he noted the treatment as promising in one of his tweets.
They've finally got something to pin on him.
Here's a sampler of some of the headlines out there from NPR, CNN, Forbes, The Hill, and the New York Times:

Post 7 & 8 .... nailed it.
Spot-on observations
Great post!! Very disappointing to see Fox News and (especially) the Washington Times included there though...
The breathless reporting about this is clear evidence the media is corrupt. All this demonstrates is that there is a high correlation of HCQ use and morbidity.
A little detail left out of the abstract and put on page 12, “Howwever, hydroxychloroquine, with or without azithromycin, was more likely to be prescribed to patients with more severe disease, as assessed by baseline ventilatory status and metabolic and hematologic parameters.”
Check out the comments. They’re getting shredded.
“Shortly after the problems became apparent in early February, the Food and Drug Administration sent Timothy Stenzel, chief of in vitro diagnostics and radiological health, to the CDC to investigate what was going wrong. According to the Times, he found a lack of coordination and inexperience in commercial manufacturing.” The last I looked, Donald Trump has not been at the CDC. He was not there in early February conducting these tests. And the story says here it’s just tragic. Yes, it is.
PING

Thanks, Fred Nerks.

I just want my doctor freed up to use whatever he AND I think is best. Right now thats HCQ, Zinc vitamin as Prophylaxis, with a therapy of the same with either Azithromycin, or Doxycycline to combat pneumonia, given early in the development of the disease. With 5 minute antibody testing so the HCQ therapy can be administered early in the evolution of the disease,, this therapy will be the salvation of America.
Doctors have to return to actually working to cure, rather than just lazily writing a magic bullet vaccine prescription, going back a few steps to the 1950s level of work highly offends both Public Health officials and Socialized medicine. Doctors should not have that much authority or expertise you see. These people want to write all the pay checks for doctors so they can control them as to what they prescribe. You can see it already when you see the politically motivated gubernatorial ban or metering of the use of HCQ in many states, resulting in huge numbers of unnecessarily dead Americans. Its actually a travesty.
No one is talking about reports like this one from 2005, they have known about Coronavirus HCQ biochemistry for a very long time:

Abstract:
Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) is caused by a newly discovered coronavirus (SARS-CoV). No effective prophylactic or post-exposure therapy is currently available. We report, however, that chloroquine has strong antiviral effects on SARS-CoV infection of primate cells. These inhibitory effects are observed when the cells are treated with the drug either before or after exposure to the virus, suggesting both prophylactic and therapeutic advantage. In addition to the well-known functions of chloroquine such as elevations of endosomal pH, the drug appears to interfere with terminal glycosylation of the cellular receptor, angiotensin-converting enzyme 2. This may negatively influence the virus-receptor binding and abrogate the infection, with further ramifications by the elevation of vesicular pH, resulting in the inhibition of infection and spread of SARS CoV at clinically admissible concentrations. Chloroquine is effective in preventing the spread of SARS CoV in cell culture. Favorable inhibition of virus spread was observed when the cells were either treated with chloroquine prior to or after SARS CoV infection. In addition, the indirect immunofluorescence assay described herein represents a simple and rapid method for screening SARS-CoV antiviral compounds.

We need to get on with what physicians can do when FULLY ENGAGED with their patients for rapid diagnosis,they are practicing all around our country and they know that really works, along with the early administration of HCQ as both prophylaxis and therapy.
The key directive: DO NOT WAIT TOO LONG.Administer early.
Doctors : do not be lazy, do an early physical examination diagnosis combined with transmission trace.If you have the 5 minute antibody test...use it.Do not wait 2 to 6 days for test result before diagnosis. Diagnose early within hours and administer the HCQ therapy.Get off your high horses and get your hands dirty.

Pretty interesting Fred, the twists and turns about Hydroxy-chloroquine therapy.
Its so simple. Use HCQ early with Zinc and antibiotic , most people can be cured.Also Doxycycline can be substituted for Azithromycin if patients have heart arrhythmia problems.
But this is “retrograde medicine’ according to public health physicians who do not want to get their hands dirty. Doctors have to physically monitor patients in a hands on approach from the 1950s...oh “woe is me” say the Public health crowd.
Meanwhile thousands die. Its actually a travesty. But those patients who side with Democrat style foolishness ,who remain ignorant, are actually dying...maybe that is an upside for the Republican demographic, but a cruel one.So the left cannot face their ignorance at all, now and in the future. They literally are politically correcting themselves unto death.Lemmings over a cliff.
Pray to God these idiots never get to run America.
Fauce already had a pandemic vaccine in Oct., mRNA-1273. He and Billy Boy Gates touted it at Event 201. Explain that. They'd hoped to make millions off it but Trump cut them off with dirt cheap malaria meds.
Good little Bolshevik-Lenin-loving 'democrats' doing what they gotta do. I wouldn't mind if they only sacrificed themselves, but they are trying to take us all along with them. (For the glory of the Great Revolution.)
Putin must be shaking his head in bewilderment. Solzhenitsyn's soul can find no rest.
Lysenko would have found himself lauded by the UN.
The best one can do is find a Jewish physician and ask for the Zelenko therapy.
That’s a avenue with some certainty. But its definitely a drastic measure in a nation that should be free.
In this case political correctness can kill you.
