A state representative known for sometimes controversial statements demanded Friday that Oklahoma allow COVID-19 patients to be treated with hydroxychloroquine, a drug widely considered ineffective and potentially dangerous in dealing with the disease, and said the epidemic is part of a Chinese plot to infect overweight, elderly, diabetic people, principally in the United States.
China knew about the outbreak of this virus and closed travel in their own country but continued to allow travel to the United States and the world, Rep. J.J. Humphrey, R-Lane, said in a press release. China began buying up all personal protective equipment such as ventilators. When the virus was widespread, China made huge profits by infecting the world and selling protective and medical equipment.
The virus originated in China and the Chinese have been criticized for not being as forthcoming in the early stages of the outbreak as they might about have been. They also diverted shipments of medical equipment for their own use.
The scientific consensus, though, seems to be the virus evolved naturally in animals, probably bats.
Humphrey stated, incorrectly, that other recent outbreaks of infectious diseases have produced more deaths than COVID-19 and that the U.S. response had been irrational and overwrought.
Our nations response to COVID-19 should produce fear in every person who stands for freedom, liberty and the United States, Humphrey said. I refuse to remain silent while the very foundation of our freedoms are being attacked and destroyed.
Humphrey called the refusal to treat COVID-19 with hydroxychloroquine insane and said it helped him after he experienced chest pains and shortness of breath.
Humphrey said he was not tested for COVID-19 because he doesnt trust the state health department tests and did not want to subject my family and friends to (the) demands of forced house arrest by the Health Department.
Humphrey said his doctor also ordered him to lose weight and bring his blood sugar under control, which he did.
I am encouraging Oklahoma doctors to take courage and begin treating COVID with Hydroxychloroquine, Humphrey said. I am asking Oklahomans to demand our state allow the use of Hydroxychloroquine to treat COVID. Lets stop the fear.
Early on, the Stitt administration bought $2 million worth of hydroxychloroquine but shelved it after promising early test results did not pan out. A spokesman for the state health department said it continues exploring all potential options.
Hydroxychloroquine is used to treat other conditions, including malaria.
The Tulsa County Health Department declined to comment on the efficacy of hydroxychloroquine but said COVID-19 is a serious illness that has killed 113 county residents and that almost 200 are currently hospitalized with it.
U.S. Food and Drug Administration revoked emergency use authorization of hydroxychloroquine to treat COVID-19, saying the drug doesn't help coronavirus patients and has potentially dangerous side effects.
Statewide, the death toll is 644 since March 1.
By comparison, 85 Oklahomans have died from the flu since Sept. 1.
Ping for hydroxychloroquine
“a drug widely considered ineffective and potentially dangerous in dealing with the disease”
Since when?
I don’t have an exact timeline, and can’t prove anything, but it seems that CV deaths began to rise at about the same time as the FDA and various state pharmacy boards began to prohibit the use of HCQ for the CV.
President Trump should declare it Over The Counter - it would destroy Deep State’s entire Wuhan Virus operation.
It seems to me that if the CDC and FDA really wanted to find out if HCQ was effective or not, they could simply conduct a survey of all the patients in the USA who were given HCQ plus zinc plus an antibiotic.
Here is the simple data collection required to confirm whether HCQ is effective or not:
DATE OF PATIENT’S FIRST SYMPTOMS
DATE OF TEST CONFIRMING INFECTION
DATE HCQ PROTOCOL BEGAN
PATIENTS AGE
PATIENTS COMORBIDITIES on scale of zero to five (zero = none; five = major)
OUTCOME (Cured, Hospitalized and Cured, or Died)
“””I dont have an exact timeline, and cant prove anything, but it seems that CV deaths began to rise at about the same time as the FDA and various state pharmacy boards began to prohibit the use of HCQ for the CV.”””
FDA revoked the EUA for HCQ on June 15th.
The doctors probably had word thru the grapevine that HCQ use was going to be revoked so they may have stopped prescribing it before June 15th.
And yes, covid cases, hospitalizations, and deaths started going up in mid june.
Also, I believe DR Simone Gold did her first interview re HCQ and covid on June 18th-—just three days after FDA revoked the EUA for HCQ.
President Trump expressed optimism based on studies in France and China, and the media freaked out. The president’s political opposition would go on to cling to any proof the drug would not work and suppress any information that it would. This politicization culminated in the horrific study published by Lancet that the publication quietly retracted.
However, the damage was already done. The World Health Organization suspended trials immediately after the study published in Lancet. Switzerland, which had been using the treatment, prohibited the use of the drug in COVID-19 shortly after that on May 27th. The retraction was so stealth that the ban was not lifted in Switzerland until June 11th.
This window allowed French researchers to analyze what happened in the entire population of COVID-19 patients during the ban. They used the case fatality rate (CFR) as the measure observed. The graph is stunning.
It also the only period where the Swiss CFR approached or exceeded that in France where there has been no use of hydroxychloroquine outside a few isolated trials.
The CFR returned to the highest level it had been since early in the pandemic at over 15%. Upon resumption of treatment with hydroxychloroquine, it returned to below 5%. A statistical analysis of the data:
A statistically significant difference
First off The Tulsa World has pretty much an incestuous relationship with the Democrat party. These (Tulsa World) aren't exactly trustworthy people, rather they are untrustworthy, just like the Britton/Kelly and Tulsa media mafias here in Oklahoma.
Also the Oklahoman which was once a respectable newspaper since it got taken over by Gannett has also developed an incestuous relationship with the Democrat party. Edward Gaylord is rolling in his grave as I speak.
This coming from a native Oklahoman.
HCQ HAS shown to be effective in curing COVID-19. Don't these journalist jokers try to convince you otherwise.
The US CV cases began to rise right after June 15th (when the FDA revoked the authorization of HCQ for covid treatment), and the deaths began to rise about two-three weeks later. The timeline largely corroborates the Swiss data.
Since this is all about me, I thought I’d share. I started taking Quercetin this morning.
RE: I started taking Quercetin this morning.
How effective is it compared to Hydroxychloroquine? Are you taking it for protection? If so, how many mg.
per day?
Thank you.........the FDA has said no not only to Oklahoma but Michigan......does the President have any sway with them? Can he override their stupid decisions?
Louis Gohmert needs to get all over the news about how HCQ, Zinc, and Z-pak saved reversed his covid-19 and saved his life in just a few short days.
RE: Michigan......does the President have any sway with them? Can he override their stupid decisions?
Same question can be asked about the Federal Reserve...
Doctors can still prescribe it if they want, can’t they, as long as it’s not been taken off the market? My pharmacy is closed today, but Monday, I’m going to call my pharmacist and ask him if doctors in this area are prescribing it. (Northeast Oklahoma).
A lot people think Quercetin works much like HCQ. How much? I don’t know.
I am taking 500mg per day as prophylactic.
I am also taking Vitamins D and C, as well as zinc.
There are countries with HCQ sold ‘over the counter’ (OTC) - and many countries with easy HCQ availability have death rates that are one-forth, one-fifth or even lower than other countries that are shunning HCQ (since it makes people buy the very expensive alternate that is not as good...like Remdesivir.)
Some good articles...
India - MUCH lower death rates due to COVID....is HCQ the difference?
opposition to HCQ kills....
