I didn't get a chance to watch the video, but if their methodology works, then the news should be getting out. There are some great results that haven't gotten much recognition.

You did the right thing by quoting a reputable source, it's just unfortunate they happened to use three studies that didn't meet the requirements for HCQ to work effectively. Requirements that have been stated over and over, but apparently are not being followed.

We keep hearing about the need for rigid studies, but those take time to set up. My understanding is we won't see those until around September, so in the meantime, there ARE doctors on the Frontline following the procedures for new discoveries that they always follow.

This is how new treatments work. Not shutting people down because they don't like the message or the person delivering the message.
You make a good point - about the message/messenger. But you have to "trust but verify". I'm all for good news, but i'm not going to just take the word of a Doctor b/c she's being promoted by conservatives. After months of HCQ isn't good we have 1 doctor that has it working 100% of the time. They haven't shown their work. Plus the doctor is known for making dubious, wild-ass, crazy claims.

What's the harm in hearing what that video says and then saying, " That's great news! Let's verify and try to replicate the results." before we start trusting the video on the internet containing nobody we've ever heard of before today?
According to Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, you shouldn't even be able to see the video. Yet over the years they've allowed countless questionable videos from the left that they haven't censored.

So you agree that we shouldn’t just take them at their word? That we should verify what they said before we break out into our blue and red teams and defend them just because.

Well, I guess pros don't interact with staff, friends or family, nor do those staff, friends or family have their own friends and family.

Same with kids and teachers. They all live in a bubble and pose no risk to the community or each other. :roll:

My daughter, sister-in-law and her daughter are all school teachers. My daughter just switched to public schools for this fall. She desperately wants to go back to in class teaching but can't. My SIL and her daughter are in a Catholic school that is going back four days a week and they are in full panic mode. This is a classic no-win situation for everyone.

Yup. It's a cluster fuck and there isn't any consistency across a state or services. Day Cares are open w/o many restrictions however 1st Graders, at least here in York County, are going to school on an A/B schedule for 4 weeks and then going to distance learning. And while in school, they have to wear masks and be surrounded by partitions. It's a nightmare. And that's just York County. I'm sure Chester and Lancaster are doing different things.

No, one of them was me. Basically a video saying hydroxychloroquine works (in conjunction with Zinc and a Z-Pac)….100% survival rate of patients...but she's a foreigner so by definition a quack in Jon's book.

Freaking HQ has been around for 35-40 YEARS....never an issue with it until Trump said it might work. And because "Orange Man Bad!!" said it, suddenly it's a killer medicine that does more harm than good. :roll: :roll: :roll:

No, she's a quack because she thinks demon dream sex causes pussy problems, that Lizard People run the country, and vaccines are a threat to religion.


She offers NO proof - NONE.

And the other "front-line doctors" - eye-doctors and others that don't actively practice medicine.
