Good morning world. Your little ray of sarcastic sunshine has arrived!
Ever wonder why the media is SO opposed to using hydroxychloroquine to treating the Corona Virus? I do..
I mean, it has been widely used to treat and prevent malaria for many decades. Suddenly it will kill you? That should come as quite a shock to everyone who was given a prescription to treat their auto-immune diseases, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, or for routine preparation for travel to malaria-infected parts of the world.
So why would educated people be so opposed to using it if it can help those suffering from COVID-19?
Because it would be almost as if President Trump had personally cured cancer and set us all free from our self-imposed quarantine. That’s why. And that cannot be allowed to happen. So they thrash about for reasons this medication can’t be used. They find incidents where it may or may not have caused heart problems. They discover that long-term use sometimes could cause retinopathy.
And they use the fact that it hasn’t been specifically tested in this exact setting – treatment of COVID-19 – as proof that is “untested”. By doing so, they imply that it’s an untested, unsafe medication, but you know they probably have some in their medicine chest at home, just in case..
But if you have nothing else that does help, and it’s a medication that is already widely used, isn’t it worth a shot in a crisis like this?
