Good news. The AMA, which does not represent 88% of medical doctors (do the math) but has oversized clout (like BLM), has given a blessing (of sorts) to HCQ. That’s Hydroxychloroquine, and I have a question. Does this mean Facebook will stop censoring posts about it?

We’ve got more reporting on hydroxychloroquine’s promise and effectiveness than any other “media” site in New Hampshire. The stuff works. But to quote Brian C. Joondeph, M.D. at American Thinker, “If trump claimed drinking water was healthy, the media and medical establishment would have denounced it.” And the AMA did.
Not water, HCQ. The AMA, which represents 12 out of 100 real doctors, poo-pooed HCQ back in April becasue when you hate Trump, that’s what you do. The media rode that horse hard and would have put it way wet had they stopped riding it. Hydroxychloroquine was the wrong personal pronoun. Saying it in anything but a negative light could get you filtered, muffled, de-platformed, or worse. You were killing people.
It still worked. It would still save lives. And Dr. Brian C. Joondeph, M.D wonders how many. We wondered that too. And so can you. The AMA has (in part) given HCQ its blessing after months of socially destructive policies that have killed jobs, businesses, educations, and lives.

All for the average mortality risk of less than one-percent for everyone under 70, a number that would have been lower if, for example, the ruling class political machine had not banned good news about the effectiveness of the abundant, safe, and affordable HCQ.
There have been 187 hydroxy studies, 122 of which were peer-reviewed. 100 percent of these studies reported positive effects for early treatment of COVID, meaning, for those not yet in the hospital, and certainly not on a ventilator. These studies were performed and reported this year, while the AMA stayed mum, standing by their admonition against HCQ, until their “oh by the way” report at the end of October.
One more time for the cheap seats, we didn’t murder grandma; you did.
Nothing about the flips and flops was science or medicine. It was all political—Trump derangement syndrome. And people died. But that’s never been a problem for the left becasue their politics demands it as a feature, not a bug.
So, while part of the AMA, which only represents a fraction of medical doctors, wants HCQ off the naughty list, the full AMA has decided not to comment.
The non-consideration of the recent resolution left the original earlier resolution against HCQ in place, although in a convoluted manner, much like a court declining to hear a case rather than ruling on the merits of the case. The process was confusing to many media outlets as well as this writer, but the premise of my article still holds, that politicizing a medical issue may have cost countless lives.
In other words, the case for approval is divided among, and Facebook will probably flag, ban, or delete this content. That’s why we post it everywhere else because Facebook, like the AMA, is not the only game in town, and life and liberty are more important than their politics.
