Joe Ladapo is an associate professor there. Here's a pretty good summary. I haven't watched the video. It's tea party propaganda, trying to get trump reelected.

Remdesivir has shown more promise as a treatment for covid than Hydroxychloroquine, but that’s because Hydroxychloroquine is basically useless as a covid treatment.

Damn sure odd.

Or could it be that there's no obscene money to be made from HCQ? Hmmmmmm?

Gilead Sciences, the company that makes the Covid-19 drug, announced in an open letter on Monday morning that it has decided to set a price of $390 per vial for the US government, which would include Veterans Affairs and Department of Defense hospitals, and other governments of developed countries. But the discounted price will not include Medicare or Medicaid.
A typical five-day treatment course would include six vials, which would equate to $2,340 per patient, Daniel O'Day, Gilead Sciences chairman and CEO, said in the letter.

I listened carefully to a interview with her. She discussed hydroxychloroquine, some related stats, among other things. She was extremely passionate and brought up some very good points. She gave many references for her claims. I will start sifting though it.

Not surprising. As opposed to probably less than $1 per tablet for HCQ. Anyone who doesn't find this a tad suspicious must be about 90% brain dead.

Which brave soul is going to Google this chick for us to see her credentials?

I mean...I don't want to have sex with E.T. unless it's absolutely necessary to cure Covid if I get it.

Just saying.

I have not yet listened to her video but I know plenty of people who save all counter-MSM videos on their hard drives, so I'll check it out tomorrow.
