Bill Gates this week added more flame to the fire in the ongoing debate over the usage of hydroxychloroquine to treat COVID-19, claiming that using the drug to treat the coronavirus carries with it the risk of "severe side effects" and arguing that medical officials should instead pursue the numerous "good therapeutic drugs" currently in development.
Yet there is at present little evidence that "severe side effects" are common in COVID-19 patients who take hydroxychloroquine, with the majority of reported adverse events being relatively mild and only a small fraction of reported effects so far being dangerous and/or fatal.

Are they going to censor Gates, remove and/or shutdown his websites and slander him the way they did to the REAL doctors who advocated for hydroxychloroquine? The REAL doctors who went to medical school and who have years of experience and have treated REAL Covid patients with hydroxychloroquine and have had remarkable success?
What people like Gates (no ulterior motives here) these platforms and the press have done regarding this Covid-19 treatment protocol is criminal. How many people were scared away from taking the medication and died unnecessarily?

I reckon Billy doesn't watch too many pharmaceutical commercials with the side effect disclaimers. Hey, genious, drinking too much clean water can have severe side effects!

Always, without fail, college drop outs like Gates insist on running your life for you. You know like LeBron James. And we are stuck with their idiocy.

Funny thing, Mr. Gates-of-Hell/Shill-For-Mandatory/Vaccines, HCQ is being used successfully in several others nations who, somehow, aren't getting all of those side effects. Nor have we had them since the drug's use began in 1948.

Gates made his billions by stealing DOS from the original developers. He stole MS Word from Xerox PARC. He stole the mouse and many other parts of the companies core products.
He is not a overly bright man outside of computers - he just thinks he is. He believes his PR and thinks he is one of the Gods of the world.

Microsoft has somehow managed to continually and repetitively make their products worse every time. Each new "version" of their idiotic bloatware is worse than the last. Every new release of Windows/Office takes longer to load, works less reliably, and removes or conceals previously-beloved features from their unwilling customers. None of it works very well, and it never did. Microsoft is also, reputedly but reliably, a horrible place to work -- vicious, exploitative, and hated by its own employees.
Bill Gates, on the other hand, is hated by virtually every one. I talked an accountant once who knew him and asked what he was like as an individual. That person just shook his head and said, "Awful. Worse than you could imagine."
In a world with any justice, Gates would catch COVID-19, continue to refuse hydroxychloroquine, and suffer the consequences. However, Gates has managed to evade justice in this world for so long, we may have content ourselves with the thought that the scales will finally balance in the next.

Lies. Intentional lies.
But told loud enough and often enough and they become conventional wisdom.
Remember that much 'conventional wisdom' is non-factual, and often intentional lies.

Bill, you're not a doctor. Stick to being a very unattractive techno nerd. Your wife is ugly too Bill, you have a lot of money. Hire a good plastic surgeon you both could use it. Maybe we'll get lucky and the surgeon will sew your mouths shut.

Doesn’t he know that we know that he is pushing against HCQ because of all the money he will make with his vaccine? And probably other things - therapeutics. Doesn’t have a humanitarian bone in his money-grubbing body.

One of the side effects of all the drugs for osteoporosis ( thinning bones ) is the spontaneous fracture of a hip bone. Think about that. I would say that's a major side effect . Ever see a drug ad ? Pages of side effects. Same with those on T.V., at the very end of a cheery ad comes the side effects. So, Bill ,shut up.

According to the testimony of REAL doctors who actually TREAT real patients, Hydroxychloroquine is much safer than aspirin, Tylenol and ibruprofen!! I doubt the same will be said of any "Dr." Whizbang Gates' new vaccines, made from fetal cells from aborted babies. Savior of the Universe?! NOT!!

Hey little bill. The greatest side effect is that; "Take hydroxycloriquine and LIVE, don't take it and DIE".billy is just like most other marxists. Take every opportunity the United States of America gives to little ole him and do his level best to deny such opportunities to EVERYBODY else that is not a liberal, socialist, marxist, communist demoncRAT.

As part of yet another worthless "virtual medical update call", the Internal Medicine MD of 15 years was asked: "If either my wife or me come down with the ChiCom germ warfare weapon, are you going to treat us with Hydroxychloroquine, Azithromycin and zinc?
The answer: "No, there are side-effects. But we have some really smart people here at UT Southwestern working on it."
And I replied: "Be sure and invite them to our virtual funeral, and you, of course as well."
Hanging up, I found a local M.D. who is teed up to treat us as soon as symptoms are confirmed (whose patients time ill and recovery is dramatically managed sucessfully in week's positive relative opposed to months in the hospital and driving up thousands of dollars in bills) with same if we need it.
To hell with Bill Gates, "Felahchee", and Schwartz György (Why has this scum from hell not been charged, tried and hung for treason?) and the democommie party and their Joe/Ho White Lives/Blue Line Don't Matter ticket.

Any drug can have severe side effects, depending on the physical condition of the patient, and how the patient’s body reacts to the drug. With hydroxycloroquine it appears that various medical and scientific studies show that it is an effective therapy during the starting stage of a COVID infection but not after a patient is already seriously ill. Liberal are really astute at using the tool of “conflation” and this may well be another instance of that.
One thing, when it comes to specific drugs, President Trump should not comment on their apparent effectiveness as he is not a doctor, but should direct comments to his medical scientists.

#10, Gates purchased DOS. I was around and using computers when it happened, and I know the stories well. Gates tried to purchas CPM, his preferred operating system, but the wife of the CPM writer/owner put off Gates repeatedly, and it seemed that they weren't interested in selling, so Gates went to his second choice and purchased DOS.
It is not necessary to introduce falsehoods here.

I have an Irish friend who lived in Africa for the last thirty years. He took it all those years with no side effects and so did all the ex-pats (whites) in Zimbabwe and Tanzania. As other posters have noted, if can scare you to read the possible side effects of any drug. One innocuous (I thought) drug I took for a while listed all sorts of possibles from shortness of breath to sudden death (in rare cases they assure you). Better call your doctor if you experience sudden death!

Gates wants to drug you With his own drugs. Wonder what he is up to? He is not only ignorant but I don’t trust him. I bet his vaccines come with chips to spy and track you.
Hydroxychloroquine has minimal side effects. Is used all over the world with no problems. What is this creep ion to??!

Despicable. The evident easy cheap solution to our problems is HCQ early, and go for herd immunity, but no, the Donkeys want us gagged and locked up, and the police to focus on just us, never mind shooters, child abusers, wife beaters, etc. Just us. If we take those gags off or go outside or clamor for Mass. This party merits no role in the future of our country. they hate us.

You have something that was introduced in the early 50s. It's ubiquitous. It's safe. 5.5 million prescriptions were issued in the U.S. alone in 2017 and they were for long term use. Long stays in countries with Malaria. Lifelong health issues such as Lupus and Rheumatoid Arthritis. And he thinks a 5 day course of the drugs to stop Covid 19 (which we ALL KNOW is as dangerous as The Spanish Flu or worse nudge nudge wink wink) is going to hurt people?
You need to avoid liars and stupid people. He's one or the other.

If you can read the small blurry print or listen to the sped up disclaimer-warning on almost every drug advertised you will notice that they all have numerous side effects, most with serious ones, including death.
