#1 Well, you can't have a pandemic if there's a cheap and effective treatment.

#3 Methinks they did protest too much.

#4 Let's not forget that study where they gave HCQ to a bunch of people who were almost dead, and sure enough, they all died.

Hydroxychloroquine had been used safely for 65 years in millions of patients. And so the message was crafted that the drug is safe for its other uses, but dangerous when used for Covid-19. It doesn’t make sense, but it seems to have worked.

Luckily for us in Michigan, our governor Big Gretch Whitmer banned the use of HCQ right after Trump suggested it as a treatment.

Fact Check Time: OK, OK, she did not ban it outright. Instead, the state health department said any doctor proscribing it for off-label uses like Covid would get their license yanked. Last thing we want is Trump getting credit for saving someone's life however indirectly, right?

One thing that cheeses me off about this pandemic, beside the Chinese and the virus itself, is the near impossibility of getting reliable data about what is going on. Everything gets politicized or spun or suppressed. Way too fUSSR for my taste. Wouldn't you agree, Comrade Lysenko?

#5 You cant force the population into fear and control their every day life if there is a treatment for the disease.

#6 And I think there was a while there in MEEECH-igan where they threatened doctors with their licenses if they prescribed HCQ.

And then there was that Dem Congresswoman who said she was helped/cured of COVID thanks to HCQ (whereupon she was excoriated by the Dem establishment).
