Media heads explode after Trump reveals he’s taking Hydroxychloroquine: Trump appears to relish the reaction
American Thinker ^ | 05/19/2020 | Thomas Lifson

President Trump reignited the media firestorm over his endorsement of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) as a prophylactic against and treatment for coronavirus, revealing in response to  question that he is currently taking the drug and has been doing so for about two weeks.

To my eyes, he appeared to relish the bewilderment and outrage that immediately started brewing among the media facing him. Watch all four minutes for yourself:

I happened to be watching Neil Cavuto’s Fox News show when the program cut away to President Trump answering reporters’ questions following his meeting with restaurant industry executives, and so had the experience of watching a NeverTrumper go low immediately after the questions ended. Via Breitbart:

“A number of studies, those certainly vulnerable in the population have one thing to lose, their lives,” Cavuto said on his program following President Trump’s announcement. “A VA study showed that among a population of veterans in a hospital receiving this treatment, those with vulnerable conditions, respiratory conditions, heart elements, they died.”

“Those who took it, in a vulnerable population, including those with respiratory or other conditions, they died,” the Fox Business Network host continued. “I want to stress again — they died. If you are in a risky population here and you are taking this as a preventative treatment to ward off the virus or, in a worst-case scenario, you are dealing with the virus, and you are in this vulnerable population, it will kill you. I cannot stress that enough. This will kill you.”

“So again, whatever benefit the president says this has — and certainly has had for those suffering from malaria, dealing with lupus — this is a leap that should not be taken casually by those watching at home

The incongruous reality of Cavuto’s rant...he has Multiple Sclerosis.

Risk factors, if you dig a little deeper, are heightened by COVD, if you have MS. One way is because MS wears at the myelin sheath surrounding a nerve and therefore can affect the function of that muscle. A MS lesion in the brainstem can cause sudden death, because it seems to cause breathing issues, caused by autonomic dysfunction.

https://medcraveonline.com/JNSK/sudden-death-in-demyelinating-disorders.html

MS patients are more at risk for pneumonia, and more at risk than a normal person, if they should get COVD. There are warnings on the National Multiple Sclerosis site, on that fact

AND

to those who take DMT (disease modifying treatments). Mainly all MS treatments are DMTs. When it comes to risk of the DMT continuation brings
a special page up on the MS National Org. site deal with whether to stop the DMT and the risk of that versus the risk of COVD.

Here’s the link to that page:
https://www.nationalmssociety.org/coronavirus-covid-19-information/multiple-sclerosis-and-coronavirus/ms-treatment-guidelines-during-coronavirus

The man has not done his homework on this disease and how it raises risks for him, a long time MS patient, and for fellow MS patients.

A big F.U. to Dr. Tony, who strangely has gone suddenly quiet./I>

Who thankfully has gone quiet. Maybe he grew a self-awareness brain.

Peter W. Kessler - I agree with your OANN comments on Post 11. You can tell that they are on a boot string budget, but they’re a great honest network.

Central_va - RE post 15: ? You must have them mixed up with another network. They’ve been beating the drums for building the wall, and stopping illegal immigration for the approximate four years that I’ve been watching them.

His task force presentation job is done. He need not take the insults and abuse from the peanut gallery any more.

Since they always carry a grudge to the grave, his abuse will never be over

In that clip Neil Cavuto is basically practicing medicine without a license.

I imagine he will come to his senses and apologize tonight. I'll miss it, I'm going golfing.

You are certainly correct about this. Dr. Tony is 80 years old. I don't know how much longer he has left on this Earth, but he will certainly never take another step in a restaurant, an airport, or any other public space outside the Beltway without receiving an ass-reaming from somebody whose life was ruined by his lockdown.

He's earned that frankly.

RE: Who thankfully has gone quiet.

Don’t speak too soon. Fauci is under a self-imposed 14 day quarantine and will re-emerge from his cave after his coast is clear. Last I saw him, he was wearing a mask in public.

Makes me wonder why he didn’t retire say, 2 years ago. He already has a fat pension from his six figure salary. What else does he need?

At 78, I have a different perspective.

He was asked by the President to sit on the task force headed by Vice President Pence. You do not casually turn away the President of the United States because some think 80 is too old.

I have no problem with him being on the task force and being 80.

I’d still think he was an idiot if he were 35.

You are not paying attention. OAN works in the free trade is great, tariffs are bad angle into almost every story or segment. The are definitely propagandists for offshoring and LEGAL immigration which IMO has been badly abused. It is amazing how in bed they really are with the globalists . PAY ATTENTION.
