Op...do you really honestly believe that? I’m not throwing shade on you, but it does seem like you take the other (conservative) media bias without much of your own to add in.

It would be worth your while to run up periscope and actually try to understand the whole picture of things. Partisanship from whichever side is pitching it is not a positive move for us as Americans.

what is sad is you don't even know that.
These doctors said that they and their colleagues have been not just pressured, but threatened with sanctions, even loss of their jobs, and licenses (in some states), for prescribing hydroxychloroquin. One physician even said that pharmacists in his state could and would refuse to fill prescriptions for this drug.

Endangering patients is frowned upon in the medical community.

HIlarious -- you are going to believe a doctor who believes in demons and aliens but not other doctors.

Can't make this up.

SNL can't compete with real life right now.

Do you know how many crazy things doctors do behind closed doors? Has anyone seen an episode of ER or Grey's Anatomy? People are human beings who believe in things. Has nothing to do with their profession.

Honestly, that one annoys me. Should we be discredited because of ones belives or something someone said 10-15 years ago?
The Daily Beast article was purely an attempt at character assassination on this physician intended to discredit her personally and by association, anything she stated regarding her experience with covid19 and its treatment. Bashing her that way is intended as distraction away from her work.

NIH found that there was typically no harm associated with administering HCQ during their trial. They decided to stop the trial, because they found no benefit on hospitalized patients. What I got from this, is administering HCQ, is a good measure to avoid hospitalization and the escalation of the virus.
