Right. Using something that doesn’t work isn’t a good idea.

You said endangering the patients. Did you read what I posted? It didn't work on hospitalized patients with elevated symptoms of the virus. Administering HCQ is about catching the virus in it's early stages and avoiding hospitalizations. Keep moving those goal posts.

The media is pushing that there is no cure for this virus besides the big phama multi-billion dollar vaccine.


Your response: "I concur"

Literally millions of professionals from scientists to doctors are fighting this thing and the bulk of them telling you Hydroxychloroquine does not work. Some of those people have even died from it, yet here you are willing to believe it's all a "sham" by YOUR media to conspire with YOUR big pharma while the rest of the world is just going along for the ride because ....
Because why, for god's sake?

It's hard for me to believe that conservatives looking for anything possible to shore up their belief in Trump will take the word of one fringe doctor that believes in demons over repeated scientific evidence by the majority of the medical community. It reeks of desperation.

She believes in aliens or whatever and published it on some site. That's completely irrelevant to the HCQ study.
You think that a medical doctor who believes that endometriosis and cysts are caused by demon sperm is a reputable scientific source?

It's funny. You answered none of my questions that were in that post. You do realize that some of the most important medical breakthroughs didn't have wide consensus among the medical community? Once again, I ask why take down the message and censor it? Why did every poster here and the article that they cite attack the one doctor's character instead of attacking the points at hand? I like how they singled out that one doctor and never brought up the other ones who were in agreement with her.

Sooo if its all the lefts fault....I have to ask. How did they convince other countries not to use it, sacrificing thousands of their citizens, and massive amounts of GDP by not using it?
They could not have...because its nonsense.

Right. Using something that doesn’t work is endangering patients.

Have you said anybody should be executed today? Talk about a cesspool, every post you make is wallowing in it.

That is why the video is removed and why this doctor should have lost all credibility--with everyone.

Who are these "America's Frontline Doctors" who organized their own press conference yesterday? They claim to be part of the Tea Party Movement.

That's fair. I'm annoyed that the OP brought politics into it. If I put up the post, I would've questioned the reasoning the video was taken down and the countering arguments behind it. I didn't watch the entire video, so I didn't see her claim it to be an all out cure.

I am wondering if it is more fruitful to attack the points being made by the doctor, rather than censoring the video to the corners of the internet and writing a critical piece that doesn't actually address the topic at hand. I admit that I overlooked this part of the video.
