It is odd to me that one should dismiss something that potentially can save their life, especially something that potentially they can get for themselves.
Oh..They know it works...However their hatred for this president is so strong that they would rather have Americans die. If they can somehow politically use the deaths of Americans against him....”Sick”

You obviously didn't bother to read the rest of the post.
Hint: It has nothing to do with any sort of "them".

One of the most important properties of hydroxychloroquine is that it increases the uptake of zinc into cells.
We know from research that zinc disrupts viral replication, and it’s why we use zinc lozenges during flu and cold season. Doctors using it successfully in NY and China are saying it must be used early on at the beginning of the infection to be really successful — also using it with Azithromycin antibiotic enhances its action. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/art...ne.0109180.pdf
A physician on here said Azithromycin has antiviral effects as well as antibiotic, so that could be why it helps.
There is an article in the fake news today (based on a NYC you tube claiming from a doctor in a NYC ER) that the ventilators are not working and are causing lung damage. That doctor says the serous patients need to get oxygen not have ventilators pushing pressure into already clogged lungs.
If true that might help. There is a machine that takes blood out of you oxygenates it and puts it back.
What you are describing is called ECMO: extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. Many hospitals do not have a single machine to do that.
The clinical trial is being performed by Dr Boulware at University of Minnesota an infectious disease expert. This has still not been proven to be effective. They are looking for 1500 volunteers in a controlled study. Meanwhile nothing from stopping people from using Chloroquine if there are few choices.
Well, he's right. They don't have time right now to do 3 years of studies to get a drug FDA approved for COVID-19 and hydroxychloroquine along with azithromycin is the most promising thing they have going according to the doctors and researchers.....it's how they heard about it to begin with.
I wonder how many will die.....it will be like the old days before Science...
Someone needs to follow the money from the sound of it.
