A Majority of Doctors From 30 Countries Say hydroxychloroquine ‘Best Drug Currently Available’ to Treat COVID-19

I enjoy adding nails to liberal narrative coffins. In the age of Trump, it’s actually easy. TDS drives them to take the opposite position on nearly everything, so TDS begets TRE – Target Rich Environment. Hydroxychloroquine is one such recent beast. Dems from the Swamp to the media have protested it, but it works.

We (GraniteGrok) can actually lay claim to a rare distinction. We were one of the first to share the chloroquine study that got Trump to mention it, which then sent the left spiraling madly in the opposite direction.

On March 17th, we shared the “summary statement from a Paper released by James M. Todaro, MD (Columbia MD, jtodaro2@gmail.com) and Gregory J. Rigano, Esq. (grigano1@jhu.edu) in consultation with Stanford University School of Medicine, UAB School of Medicine and National Academy of Sciences researchers.”

The link to the original Google Doc (and the research details) is no longer open and accessible, but you can review the paper here instead. All of which leads me to the title and my point. For the past 2 1/2 weeks, the left and their ‘experts’ have been downplaying the drug as a ‘game-changer’ for our current circumstances. That doesn’t make it a cure, a vaccine, it is a treatment that has shown very positive life-saving results.

For the small percentage of folks who face mortal danger, that’s huge. And doctors around the globe agree. The daily mail reports that nearly 40% of doctors from 30 different countries say hydroxychloroquine,is the best coronavirus drug currently available.”

The naysayers (CDS – COVID Derangement Syndrome?) will jump in and shout, it’s not some miracle drug. It’s not a cure. No sh*t, really? And pain relievers don’t cure headaches; they make the current problem of pain go away. Antibiotics don’t make you immune to infections; they address the one you have now.

And so it is here, but the naysayers are propping up their straw men arguments because Donald J. Trump had the nerve to be ahead of their curve on this. If he’d said nothing and some talking head broke the “news” about overseas success and a newly released report by some doctors “in consultation with Stanford University School of Medicine, UAB School of Medicine and National Academy of Sciences researchers” The media would be blaming Trump for not signing a law making the possession of hydroxychloroquine a human right!

Schiff and Pelosi would be including that oversight in their impending investigation! We have a statement from a whistleblower who overheard a conversation by two folks who were in a building where there was a phone call about what toppings someone in another office wanted on their pizza which means Russia was colluding with Trump to spread COVID-19 by ignoring a promising treatment. Putin Puppet!

But since President Trump said it first, Crazy talk! He’s illegally giving medical advice, fraud, charlatan, Witch!

No one that I am aware of is suggesting that hydroxychloroquine (with an antibiotic for folks who’ve developed viral pneumonia) is a cure for anything. What they are saying, and what the research shows, is that when you give it sick people, they are less likely to die and may recover faster. In modern parlance, they flatten a curve by reducing the severity and shortening time to recovery.

There are some potentially nasty side-effects, but drowning to death in your own fluids isn’t one of them.

Democrats who have been drowning in the Trump Derangement don’t need to come up for air. They can keep hyperventilating into microphones and cameras until they turn blue wherever it is, they are not already that color. And no survey of doctors from 30 countries saying otherwise will get them to change their minds.
