Hydroxychloroquine Follies

Andrew Wilcow, a host on Sirius XM's “Patriot” channel, routinely makes a perceptive observation about the conflict between President Donald Trump and the Democratic Party.
Trump could cure cancer, Wilcow said, and the Democrats would defend the rights of tumors.
Wilkow's observation is not so absurd when applied to the Covid-19 pandemic.
A coalition of "progressives," the Democratic Party, government bureaucrats and media refuses to promote or make an effective, inexpensive treatment available. Why? So they can politically exploit the pandemic for as long as possible and get the Presidential ticket of former Vice President Joe Biden and California Sen. Kamala Harris elected.
New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman inadvertently revealed that strategy when CNN's Wolf Blitzer
interviewed him Aug. 3. Blitzer began by expressing hopelessness about the pandemic.
"I mean, it's a sad situation what's going on right now, and I don't see any end in sight," Blitzer said. "Hopefully there will be a therapeutic that comes out that can prevent people from getting really sick and dying. Hopefully, there will be a vaccine at some point that will ease this. But right now, it doesn't seem to have any end in sight. Do you see an end in sight right now?"
Friedman issued a surprising response.
"Oh, I do see an end in sight," Friedman said. "It's in November, Wolf. And let me be very clear about this. Wolf, I will walk, I will crawl, I will slither, I will bike, I will hike, but I will be going to the polls to vote for Joe Biden. Because until and unless we replace this president and this administration, we're going to be having this same conversation every day, all right?"
Friedman continued:
"That is what this is about. This is about power. It's about removing this man who has no business being president, who is incapable of navigating us out of this crisis. And there is only one thing to do, and that is vote for Joe Biden."
As FrontPage Magazine exposed in "Leftist Masquerade" and "Socialist Distancing," the Democrats promote their agenda by ignoring scientific studies that warn against continuous
mask-wearing and social
distancing. So which effective, inexpensive treatment for Covid-19 is being suppressed?
Hydroxychloroquine, which the Food and Drug Administration approved in 1955. As a result, doctors can prescribe hydroxychloroquine at their discretion. The FDA allows doctors to so to discover new remedies for new conditions.

In his farewell address before leaving the White House -- the same one in which he warned against the "military-industrial complex" -- President Dwight Eisenhower also
warned against the budding relationship between government and science:
"...research has become central; it also becomes more formalized, complex, and costly. A steadily increasing share is conducted for, by, or at the direction of, the Federal government. ... the free university, historically the fountainhead of free ideas and scientific discovery, has experienced a revolution in the conduct of research. Partly because of the huge costs involved, a government contract becomes virtually a substitute for intellectual curiosity.
"The prospect of domination of the nation’s scholars by Federal employment, project allocations, and the power of money is ever present and is gravely to be regarded. Yet, in holding scientific research and discovery in respect, as we should, we must also be alert to the equal and opposite danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific-technological elite."
Include the complicity of reporters, social media and left-wing activists, and you have our current conundrum. Only not just public policy is held captive. So are Americans' very lives.
The Covid-19 pandemic makes Eisenhower's admonitions prophetic.
Comment:
I believe the corrupt politicization for something as forthright as hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) will be exposed by the Trump administration after the second Trump term. This casting the Progressive Marxist Socialist/DSA Democrats for the part they've played through our nation’s history: The enemies of the Republic.
During this last election cycle, Dems have sunk as lower than anytime before in their history. They've become the Trojan Horse of Communism.
It is highly frustrating to see how the FDA and other regulatory organizations can and are used to politically block real public healthcare solutions, when they are supposed to be counter to the Deep State establishment and political interests.
One wonders if a cure for cancer was discovered if the vast embedded political interests would block it as they have supposedly done with the treatment of Chinese Covid-19.
Countries like the UK, Turkey, France, Brazil, India and others have begun to use the HCQ Cocktail extensively and saved thousands of patients from death.
You go to war with what you've got at the time, if you are able to develop better bullets along the way then by all means use them. But in the meantime you use what you've got...
HCQ is proven a safe drug and the combination with Zinc and Erythromycin has proven effective. It should be used to treat patients until something better or more effective.
