Yes, well, these are people who have no conscience, so… – John Solomon reports on a Yale professor, Harvey Risch, who calls the Democrat/media demonization of the safe, effective and inexpensive drug Hydroxychloroquine “unconscionable.”
Here’s an excerpt from that piece:
Risch draws a distinction between two stages of the illness, noting that while the treatment will likely work quickly during the first stage, it is not effective in helping people who have advanced to the more serious second stage.
“At the first stage, it is a flu-like illness. That illness will not kill you. If you are a high-risk patient and begin treatment immediately, you will almost certainly be done with it in a few days. When not treated, high-risk patients may progress. The virus then causes severe pneumonia and attacks many organs, including the heart. In this second stage, hydroxychloroquine is not effective,” he explains in a Washington Examiner opinion piece.
Risch says that people in the high-risk category should be provided treatment even before they receive the results of their coronavirus test.
“The second thing to know is that most low-risk patients survive without treatment. Low risk means you are under age 60 and have no chronic conditions such as diabetes, obesity, and hypertension, have no past treatment for cancer, are not immunocompromised, etc. High risk means you are over 60 or you have one or more of those chronic conditions. High-risk patients need immediate treatment when they first show symptoms,” he said.
“It is a serious and unconscionable mistake that the FDA has used inpatient data to block emergency use petitions for outpatient use. Further, already back in March, the FDA approved the emergency use of hydroxychloroquine for hospitalized patients, for whom it is demonstrably less effective than for outpatients,” he said. “If hydroxychloroquine satisfied the FDA criteria for emergency inpatient use in March, it should more than satisfy those criteria now for outpatient use, where the evidence is much stronger.”

Make no mistake about this: The media and Democrats who have conducted this campaign to deny COVID-19 patients access to this safe and effective drug have the deaths of thousands of Americans on their hands. There should be consequences, but of course there won’t be.
The standard Democrat playbook is now fully engaged. – That grim milestone – as the media like to call everything related to COVID-19 – was reached yesterday with this tweet from Crazy Uncle Quid Pro Creepy Farty China Joe Biden’s handlers:
Three years ago today, white supremacists descended on Charlottesville with torches in hand and hate in their hearts. Our president said they were "very fine people."
It was clear then, and it's clear now: We are in a battle for the soul of our nation, and we must win.

So, we’re still going with the “very fine people” lie, even after CNN and the New York Times debunked it? Holy crap.
Look, every four years you can count on the Democrats to roll out a series of standard scare tactics:
– Scare the old folks about how Republicans are gonna do away with Social Security and Medicare;
– Scare the poor folks about the evil GOP plot to eliminate welfare, subsidized housing and Medicaid;
– Scare college students about the evil GOP plot to make them pay back their student loans (this one is actually true);
– Scare Hispanic folks about the GOP plan to halt illegal immigration, which also happens to be true, and which a rising share of Hispanic voters support;
– and Scare the Black folks about the evil GOP plot to re-constitute the Ku Klux Klan even though the KKK was the creation of the Democrat Party.
It’s like clockwork – you can literally set your IPhone alarm to it.
Despicable people, these Democrats.
Speaking of despicable people, how about those who infest the corrupt news media? – The Washington Examiner reports on how the major communist news outlets reported – or didn’t report – on the murder of a 5 year-old kid in cold blood in North Carolina that I detailed yesterday:
NBC, ABC, CBS, and CNN show zero results for reports on the 5-year-old white child allegedly executed by black 25-year-old neighbor https://t.co/cExzplHAoS

ZERO results. And it is not a surprise, because we all know by now that these media outlets simply do not cover any story that does not fit the DNC-dictated daily narrative.
Meanwhile, in Portland… – The Democrat Party-sponsored riots continued for their 77th straight night as the rioters steadily expand their field of operations.
As always is the case, the only reason we know the truth about what is taking place in Portland is the intrepid reporting by real journalist Andy Ngo:

And now the chaos and violence has extended outside of Portland into Bend, Oregon:
Hundreds of open-border radicals swarmed ICE busses in #BendOregon & prevented arrest of 2 violent illegal foreign nationals. Bend is a small city in central Oregon where far-left politics has taken root. Even the DA @john_hummel came to join occupation. https://t.co/PFsnoMmt8B

Madness. These people hate you and want you dead. They will not stop until they are stopped. It really is that simple.
That is all.
