With the onset of COVID-19, I’m sure that the same thing is happening with HCQ— Yale professors and doctors have no scientific proof and are probably cashing in on claims that it could have an effect on the virus— probably for their own personal gains.

Possibly the most error filled comment in a thread that's full of them

HCQ costs about $5 for a weeks supply. There is no patent on this drug and it is made worldwide by several companies. There are ZERO Doctors, epidemiologists, or scientists who are getting paid to endorse this drug. If they recommend it, it's simply because they are getting good results.

Want to explore Big Pharma drug corruption? Eight members of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) expert COVID-19 Treatment Guideline Panel are on Gilead's payroll. Gilead makes Remdesivir, the drug that cost hospitals $3000-$5000 per patient and has no statistical effect on covid 19 deaths. The NIH panel allowed the Remdesivir trial to change their endpoints during the trial from measuring effects on mortality to effects on hospital stay.

If readers want to explore 65 studies on HCQ, both good and bad, see post #54 and forget all the political chatter.
For once I will agree with you.

The sheer politics with this virus is staggering....from endorsements from politicians, witch doctors and the like.

I have been taking this drug for about two years or more for rheumatoid arthritis, and it works great, but never considered it as anything for this virus. I was told about heart, and was checked out......need vision test strictly every 12 months specific for side effects, but other than some minor side effects, it does well.

Why folks have become so distrustful of the medical field unless they have the same political leanings as you is well beyond me. I cannot imagine asking a doctor to whom I go to for help, about how he is registered and how he votes. Nor can I imagine calling my political party for endorsement of a doctor of doctors advice.
