I've long tired of the anti-hydroxychloroquine propaganda and pseudo-science spewed from an unfree press. And I don't particularly care to hear anymore about hospital beds, ventilators or even death counts rattled off daily, not when there's a safe way to treat patients (many in their own homes) with HCQ combos and good ol' OXYGEN. When Big Media starts sounding like an echo chamber, with Big Tech's assist towards one-sided censorship, tamping down hope at every turn, you know there's a narrative being pushed, and this one has been a detrimental denial with political fingerprints all over it...
On March 19, at a White House briefing, President Trump “touted” chloroquine (hydroxychloroquine is chloroquine metabolite) for possible use against COVID-19. The very next day, a media operation was launched to deny this treatment to the public. Several fake news outlets published articles, saying things like this (NYT, March 20):So pardon me if I'd rather hear from someone dealing with this illness in realtime. And at least one brave doctor in Texas has been speaking truth to power every weekend about the real patients she's successfully treating that's not requiring a complete shutdown of life or common sense to do so!Trump’s Embrace of Unproven Drugs to Treat Coronavirus Defies ScienceReferring to this as a "media operation" is appropriate because multiple outlets repeated the same false talking points. At that time
Doctors and patients also worry that the president’s rosy outlook for the treatments will exacerbate shortages of old malaria drugs relied on by patients with lupus and other debilitating conditions.This false alarm had all the behavioral characteristics of the Democrat-Socialist operatives: pitting groups of citizens against each other, sowing fear and division, and hoping that the conflict would damage President Trump. In this case, they incited lupus and rheumatoid arthritis patients against current and future COVID-19 victims. Google, Facebook, Twitter, and Microsoft support the fake new media financially, send web traffic to them, and endorse them to some extent. Amplified by Big Tech, the announcement of HCQ shortage caused a vicious spiral: panic buying by lupus patients, which led to actual shortages, which amplified the panic buying and so on. Then the blame was directed at COVID-19 patients and their physicians prescribing HCQ for them.
- The use of hydroxychloroquine for COVID-19 already had scientific support, although not to the level required for FDA approval of a new drug; but HCQ was already approved.
- The fact that hospitals had already been increasing their supply of HCQ and CQ before President’s briefing was an additional indication that medical professionals believed in the drugs’ usefulness against COVID-19.
- There were no shortages of HCQ or CQ for lupus & RA patients at that time.
- Multiple pharma companies announced an increase in HCQ manufacturing and substantial donations of HCQ.
- Even without these increases, the HCQ amounts required for COVID-19 patients were too small to impact the supply for other users.
Over the past two weekends:
This Doctor, Ivette. C Lozano, shares her experience with Covid-19, and she is upset at what is happening in our nation.
(Apologies, YouTube censored this second rally for some unknown reason)
Seems like this might be the time for another executive order, Mr. President. The People can't wait on Fauci, Big Pharma, government's bureaucratic roadblocks or Big Media/Tech false flags. This partisan death grip must be loosened and released while this treatment can help NOW, please.

UPDATE: FAKED! Shocker...NOT.
How many more lives did these lies cost? Because it certainly did if this vital and readily-available medication was withheld from anyone needing it. There needs to be some accountability held here.
