In February, China reported that chloroquine could fight coronavirus, which led to a burst of media optimism. However, when President Trump said he hoped that chloroquine might cure coronavirus, the media instantly turned on the drug. Unsurprisingly, the media were wrong. The lead doctor of the latest study on the drug says chloroquine is so helpful it would be unethical to deny it to control groups. (snip) The media reported on Dr. Fauci’s more cautious view as if he had said Trump was lying, instead of merely saying that there were still studies to be done. One Arizona outlet even called Trump’s optimism “bizarre, even delusional.”

Anyone with two brain cells who still believes anything the media writes or reports, must be considered stupid. And, yes, I do mean stupid.

The governors that banned potential treatments in their states for partisan political reasons should be prevented from ever holding public office again.

I have taken hydroxychloroquine (Plaquenil) for more than 10 years and is a very safe drug. The only major toxicity was in the eye and it has been proven dose related. Today 400mg (2 tabs) regimen is perfectly safe. I am also a medical doctor.

Very dangerous governors and of course, the press. I certainly hope of people who live in those states have access to the drugs.

China and Hungary are restricting their newly manufactured supplies of the drug. They are not currently exporting. Only Israel continues to send Hydroxycholoroquinine to the USA.
Hopefully the new production line in West Virginia can ramp up and start kicking this stuff out. When we re-open the country - this stuff needs to be given out like M&M's.
Yes. Some people will overdose. But, thousands more will survive.

The Media continues to harm its readers with fake news.
Shutter their doors would be a good thing. They no longer inform. They just attempt to brainwash.

I read the letter from Gov Half Whitmer...
She does threaten if doctors prescribe with no symptoms seen.. but threatening she was -
The drug has been used for years- just not as a viral medicine for current outbreak.. The fear monger omg from press is almost criminal.

A drug that was perfectly safe is now declared dangerous by the media. That's politics for you! Even if it didn't help with the Chinese virus, it could help anyone who might get Malaria!

A doctor in NY State has created a "cocktail" he used to cure some 500 of his patients in fewer than 2 weeks with a 100% success rate. Giuliani has interviewed him. The doctor’s discovery is being sought for and shared with fellow doctors. He has added zinc to the currently known medication (which has about a 50% success rate). The zinc serves as a tunnel-maker into lung cells allowing the virus-killing component access to the imbedded virus.
It would be great fun if on today's press briefing President Trump would announce:
"I have something terrible to report -- for the fake news. We have a cure for the Chinese virus.”

Early AIDS "cocktails" in which Fauci had a hand, were demanded by the gay crowd even though they cost thousands of dollars per treatment and the rest of America was pushed to pay for them. They did not prevent death, they merely extended a miserable life. Chloroquine shows much greater promise, has produced spectacular results and is criticized simply because President Trump approves of it. The beasts of the Left are so predictable and it's obvious that they do not want this pandemic to end early.

Sorry for double post - I didn’t understand ‘off label’. On medicine labels, the helping property of said medicine is listed to treat: say arthritis or malaria. In the case of Hydroxychloronique ‘off label’ the med can’t be prescribed to treat anything but arthritis and malaria without it being illegal in Michigan.. prescription off label meds is a legal act.. it is doctor and patient working together to find cure/treatment of/ or relief of a disease.. Gov Half Whit can go pound sand..

When it comes to decisions that are best made between any person and their doctor, I thought liberals were "Pro Choice." Or is that only for wymyn for killing viable but inconvenient human fetuses?

#9, slight correction, Hydroxychloroquine acts as an ionophore for the Zn, That allows a 'gate' in the cell wall to open and admit the Zn, increasing it's presence inside the cell. Zn interferes with the replicase used to replicate the RNA virus inside the cell. That's the gravy part of the cocktail and is by no means Hydroxychloroquine's only part in dealing with the virus..

I read the science news directly. There are now many reports of the efficacy of chloroquine at treating and preventing death from Covid-19 (China Originated Virus Infectious Disease-19) .
One doctor reports treating 342 Covid-19 patients without a single death, without a single hospitization, using Chloroquine, Z-pakand Zinc Phosphate.
That means we need no more hospital beds. We need no more ventilators. We need no more panic. We can stop hiding under the bed.
What we need is more chloroquine. This is what the media should be reporting on. Is there enough chloroquine? Are we ramping up production of it?
Everything else is noise.
And as a further note, this is all a blessing in disguise, if it gets our doctors to come up with a similar effective treatment for the flu, that cuts our 30,000 per year death rate down to nil. This is with apologies to anyone who is suffering from or has a family member who has died from coronavirus.
By the way, the common cold is most often a corona virus also, so they have most likely discovered the cure for the common cold.
Anyone of these governors withholding this demonstrated life saving treatment, is the moral equivalent of a serial killer. If you vote for this person again you are an accessory before and after the fact.
This also applies to the media questioning this treatment also. There is plenty of public information that shows it work. So you hate Trump? Tell us his breath stinks or you saw him kick your dog. Don't lie to us about something that will kill us if we believe your lie.
Have a nice day.
