Louie Gohmert is COVID-19-free, and he credits hydroxychloroquine
washington examiner ^ | August 15, 2020 | Susan Ferrechio

Posted on 08/15/2020 6:01:37 AM PDT by Presbyterian Reporter

Rep. Louie Gohmert is recovered from the coronavirus and plans to donate plasma in the coming days, he told the Washington Examiner.

“I’m feeling really well, really great actually,” the Texas Republican said.

Gohmert tested positive for the coronavirus on July 29 after taking a test at the White House ahead of a planned trip with President Trump.

Gohmert drove to Texas to self-quarantine and suffered several days of mild symptoms, including fatigue, but is now free of the virus, he said.

He tested negative for the virus and positive for the coronavirus antibodies this week. Gohmert said he will donate plasma “as often as I am allowed,” to help others recover from the virus.

Gohmert, who turns 67 next week, told the Washington Examiner he believes his recovery was aided by the use of vitamin supplements and hydroxychloroquine, the drug touted by Trump and some medical doctors that is not endorsed by the Food and Drug Administration for use in treating the coronavirus.

“I had a couple of bad days, but I started taking hydroxychloroquine, [Zithromax], and zinc, along with vitamins D3 and C," he said. "And I took a steroid nebulizer for a few days to help coat the alveoli in the lungs and protect them somewhat from the COVID virus attack.”

He added, “I feel sorry for patients whose doctors are not even allowed to consider the hydroxychloroquine regimen. That’s a real shame.”

Gohmert said he has been cleared by the Capitol’s attending physician to return to work and will vote in person if Congress reconvenes this summer to take up a now-stalled coronavirus aid package.

Gohmert said he plans to wear a mask but said questions remain about whether face coverings are truly effective at preventing the spread of the coronavirus.

If Louie Gohmert can get immediate treatment with Hydroxychloroquine, then why are we hearing story upon story of people being refused HCQ by their doctor????

It seems to me that the American Public needs to start calling their doctors and demanding to know if their doctor will immediately prescribe Hydroxychloroquine if tested positive for covid.

it seems to me that until the public starts yelling for Hydroxychloroquine, the government bureaucrats will stop its use.

Why would he need a mask? He can’t get it or give it.

Curative treatment, especially at relatively low cost per treatment, is anathema to the Big Pharma companies, which have a vested interest in developing high-priced treatments, and the agitators for more government control in every aspect of daily life, who want the restrictions to remain in place indefinitely.

People once cured of the affliction no longer have fear of the disease.

And even if their dr prescribes it, the pharmacy may refuse to give it. Talk about a conspiracy right out in the open.

I believe it was Sarah Palin who accurately called these government controls over our health DEATH PANELS.

I suspect the 2,700 pages of the “Obama ‘does-not-care-about-our-health’ Act” contains the words that allow the medical profession to deny treatment.

Trump has stopped several provisions of ObamaCare, but much of the 2,700 pages remain in effect.

Very frustrating that this subject doesn’t get mentioned anymore by Trump.

Hydroxychloroquine, backed up by articulate doctors, should be one of the main topics at his press conferences.

Another main topic should be daily updates on marxist BLM and this should be done by articulate black speakers like Candace Owens.

It's not "a shame". It's a crime.

The government is sitting on millions of doses of HCQ generously donated to us by other governments at the start of the crisis. Why were they not distributed and used? Why can the slums of India, some of the poorest and most densely populated areas on the planet, have very low death rates while NYC can have some of the highest? Those are the questions that need to be asked loudly and insistently by Congress, with those responsible held criminally liable for their obstruction.

Since he is not a carrier or a passer (for at least a few months) he is not at risk of passing it to anyone. He could be a maskless point person and not put anyone at risk, again for at least a few months.

“hy can the slums of India, some of the poorest and most densely populated areas on the planet, have very low death rates while NYC can have some of the highest?”

Some people in high places in NYC apparently have no problem getting HCQ to treat Covid:
