Much has been written about the effectiveness of hydroxychloroquine, for example here. We now have indications that recent restrictions on it caused the second wave of COVID-19 in the United States.
On 15 June 2020, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) revoked emergency authorization for hydroxychloroquine to treat COVID-19 patients. Dr. Harvey Risch, epidemiologist, recently pointed out that this caused people who were not hospital patients to be denied access to this drug. Sure enough, 15 June was the start of the second wave of COVID-19 cases. The second wave had twice the first wave's high for peak cases at 60,000 per day. Better yet (for the Democrats), they can now brag that the peak cases came in late July instead of early April. Since people in hospitals still got this drug, the number of cases increased a lot, but the number of deaths increased only a little. This is apparently the FDA's idea of being humane.
Does hydroxychloroquine work? As of August 2020, there were about 175,000 COVID-19 deaths in the U.S. Contrast this to 62,550 deaths in India, where hydroxychloroquine is manufactured and recommended for use. With populations of 328 million in the US and 1,352 million in India, the number of COVID-19 deaths per million is 528 for the U.S. and 46 for India. In malaria-infested countries, where hydroxychloroquine is greatly needed, the numbers are even better. In Nigeria, 1,011 people have died from COVID-19. Its COVID-19 deaths per million is 4.9. Similar numbers can be found from the America's Frontline Doctors Summit.

RE: Do you disagree with chopperks solution?
No I don’t disagree. But I’d like to have fun once in a while. Others are of course, annoyed at this constant spamming of the same copy and paste paragraph.
You can be sure to see this same post from him when you see the word “Hydroxychloroquine” in the title.
Gloating really doesn’t become you.
You can't make an omelet....
if you kill one, you are a murderer.
kill ten, you are a serial murderer.
kill 100,000 by withholding a benign curative
medicine, you are the FDA.
RE: Gloating really doesnt become you.
You call it gloating, I call it having fun.
Yep. Does it always annoy you when someone repeats the truth?
Maybe you have mommy issues as in: “If I’ve told you once, I’ve told you a million times, Don’t _______________________!”?
RE: Yep. Does it always annoy you when someone repeats the truth?
Please re-read my post #21. It isn’t me who’s getting annoyed. And I am not even telling him not to post what he posted a hundred times, it’s up to him. But it’s up to me to put some fun into any thread.
(from the article) :" On 15 June 2020, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) revoked emergency authorization for hydroxychloroquine to treat COVID-19 patients.
Dr. Harvey Risch, epidemiologist, recently pointed out that this caused people who were not hospital patients to be denied access to this drug.
Sure enough, 15 June was the start of the second wave of COVID-19 cases. "
SeekAndFind : " The major problem is not that the FDA made what appears to be a no-brainer error.
It is that someone in the Deep State chose to withhold a needed medicine for political reasons. (Emphasis mine,tik)
From the previous paragraph, it appears that 99% of the U.S. COVID-19 patients could have been saved.
If so, then 173,000 people died to increase the probability that President Trump will lose the upcoming election.
This says it all ! Medication available , but suppressed and denied.
The covid19 "second wave" increase was politicized by the FDA, the media, and power hungry politicians for Presidential electoral purposes.
Let that sink in: "..173,000 people died to increase the probability that President Trump will lose the upcoming election. "
Now let the Democrats and the complicit press and media feast on that tidbit, and remember the 173,000 died needlessly, for political gain.
I'll bet you'll not see that on cable news !
Be sure to copy @POTUS @realdonaldjtrump, et al
The continuous peaks and valleys all in one direction seem to me like manipulated data... for example... does anyone know where the underlying cdc data is available? Why did they only show deaths and cases from the days they were reported and not on the days that they actually happened? I would like to see the deaths data by the dates of the actual deaths, not the dates those deaths were reported. I have a feeling it would tell a very different story.

Search for plaquenil and take the online exam.
OK, I’m willing to drop it.
If you run out of tonic just keep going with the gin.
I was going to share this article until he veered off into Star Trek.
If you have to ask, you know the answer.
There is no second wave.
That is the inescapable conclusion.
Probably couldn’t have saved 99%, but even if we could have saved 60%, we had 100,000 needless deaths that need to be hung on the DS and Democrats.
It might not be political. It could just be money interest.
Most of the committee at the NIH that approves protocols are currently or have bewen on the payrol of one of the Pharmaceuticals with a competing product.
In some states, it probably also corresponds to the Mostly Peaceful Protests (TM).
