(WXYZ) — The FDA denied Henry Ford Health System's request for an emergency use authorization for hydroxychloroquine for a segment of COVID-19 patients.

In a statement, Henry Ford said the decision does not impact the ongoing study that investigates hydroxychloroquine as a preventative treatment.

"At the same time, we remain focused on advancing efforts to develop a safe and effective vaccine against COVID-19," Henry Ford said. "We are the only site in Michigan enrolling volunteers in the phase 3 trial of the Moderna mRNA-1273 Coronavirus vaccine and evaluating its promise as a vaccine candidate. We continue to believe that a safe and effective vaccine is the best way to protect people from this devastating virus."

Dr. Anthony Fauci previously called the study on the effectiveness of using hydroxychloroquine to treat COVID-19 "flawed" during testimony in front of a House subcommittee.

In response, doctors at Henry Ford Health System penned an open letter, saying the current political climate has made any discussion of the drug impossible.

Screw the FDA. Liberty.

I can go into a pharmacy in a turd-world country and pay cash for whatever I want, and go to a lab and get whatever test I want: WITHOUT A PRESCRIPTION.

Trump needs to reel them in by Executive Order.

There is too much positive input from all over the medical World, the International medical World that proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that HCQ administered early on works, and saves lives Fauci be damned as well the FDA.

A law must be passed to ban hydroxy for any member of Congress and their family, any employee of CDC, FDA, or NIH, including Dr Fauci and his family.

Violation punishable with no less than 20 years imprisonments of the patient who took the med and survived the covid

If that is the case then they should comply and not prescribe HCL for their patients. However that doesn't preclude them from doing a study using HCL on their patients in the their duty to study the effectiveness.

Level the playing field and make all drugs that can be used to treat COVID available, now!

Prescribe it. It is a FDA approved drug.

Henry Ford is one of the most respected Medical Care orgs in the country. This cannot stand, the rat infested FDA has to be knocked down. People will die because these bastards are afraid Trump will get some credit.

The entire federal government is rat infested. Every single agency and department. If Trump wins he needs to do some serious house cleaning. Unlike last time, he needs to do this immediately, without delay or hesitation.

Got to make sure the news is grim for 1-1/2 more months. Human lives scarified be damned.

Trumps instincts and commitments are great. But he’s not a good administrator. He also lacks discipline as a speaker. There are so many powerful arguments in support of all of his policies, but he gets sidetracked and jumbled up when he talks, allowing the media to divert the focus.

Go here; https://naspa.us/resource/covid-19-information-from-the-states/

Hit Ctrl+f and search for hydroxy or just find your state and read the blurb - open links to the right if need be and you might find that your state allows hydroxy to be prescribed. In my state, MO,

>> The Board is not recommending that pharmacies refuse to fill, the Board is recommending that pharmacies use caution. <<

That means if I find the right doctor, he can prescribe it as long as he communicates with his pharmacy contact. Since I’m rural, they would likely know each other very well. Small town USA, they might be third cousins or something.

And of course Ivermectin is supposed to be pretty good too.

and finally

#Zelenko Protocol-Prophylaxis - https://twitter.com/zev_dr/status/1289772218189152261

Quercetin 500mg one or two a day

Zinc 25mg (elemental) once a day

Ask your doctor before taking and if appropriate for your unique situation.


Yes, there is great evil among us here in the USA. Way more than any of us realized I would say. Remove preventable nursing home deaths, remove WITH covid as opposed to OF covid, remove flu deaths simply called covid deaths etc etc and we probably have 20k legitimate covid deaths nationwide.

but hey, they got an election to win and/or a country to wreck. The ends justify the means. There is no issue, only the revolution. They want global communism. The USA stands in the way of that.
