Re: MN govenor changes mind about hydroxychloroquine

Beginning in March 2020, US President Donald Trump began promoting hydroxychloroquine to prevent or treat COVID-19, citing small numbers of anecdotal reports.[46] Trump stated in June that he was taking the drug as a preventive measure,[47] stimulating unprecedented worldwide demand and causing shortages of hydroxychloroquine for its prescribed purpose of preventing malaria.[46]

After issuing an emergency use authorization for physicians to use the drug to treat hospitalized people with severe COVID-19 infection, the US Food and Drug Administration withdrew the authorization in June after finding hydroxychloroquine was unlikely to be effective and had serious side effects.[48] During ensuing months, additional studies found the drug was not effective,[49] and in late July, Anthony Fauci stated, "We know that every single good study — and by good study I mean randomized controlled study in which the data are firm and believable — has shown that hydroxychloroquine is not effective in the treatment of COVID-19."[6]

no, truly the sad one is you - I knew "doctors" were

arrogant, but you are pubescent at best.

I personally have no stake in HCQ. None. I personally don't think Trump should have ever mentioned it. It isn't his bag of tea by a long shot. Even if HCQ turns out to be worthwhile, it does nothing for Trump - or at least shouldn't - because again to any reasonable person it would not reflect on Trump's personal or professional knowledge in any way. And I have certainly never suggested otherwise in any of my posts. Only your judgmental dumb*ss has made that connection.

My ire is and has been with Fauci, the NIH, and CDC, who all have f*cked this country over by not being prepared in the manner that South Korea and Taiwan were. So go f*ck yourself with your sophomoric innuendos. Not every Fauci hater is a Trump fan, nor someone who voted for Trump, nor even someone who thinks Government should be involved with Medicine at all.

I personally have no medical knowledge either way. I personally don't care what works, I just wish we could find something that does work instead of going to a vaccine. IF I have any feelings at all about this disease, I would personally like to have natural immunity accrue to everybody as opposed some vaccine shoved upon us. That has nothing to do with HCQ at all - or Trump or F*cking Biden either for that matter.

You know nothing about me, but you can go to f*cking #### if you think I'm going to let you blithely and arrogantly disparage me or anyone else just because you're a f*cking arrogant turd. My suggestion then is to stop making connections that your lack of reading skill can't cash pumpkin.

As to the readings I provided and the dates, they are what they are. You cannot argue them because they are facts. Further you can't argue that the Lancet study is laying on its ###. You can argue about the efficacy of HCQ as much as you want with those who print otherwise than you, but you can't argue that the Doctors who wrote the Heraclitus articles disagree with you, and that they're likely just as well read. And the simple fact is they disagree - with you and Fauci. And you can trot your NIH study out as long as you want, but the self-interest of Fuaci and other NIH doctors in a vaccine is becoming apparent every day. Turns out there are at least 4 Doctors from the NIH on the patent for one of the Vaccines being tested.

As to your Trump Derangement Syndrome - keep it to yourself. There's enough people on here with Daddy problems already.
