As more and better data comes in,its becoming increasingly clear that Hydrochloroquine (HCQ), when offered/taken early and combined with Zinc supplements is, if not exactly a cure-all, extremely useful at reducing the death rate from the WuFlu.

And plenty of other evidence. For example, Mumbai has seen surprisingly few deaths and at least part of the reason is the early and wide use of HCQ+Z.

Those who’ve followed this know that the drug was lauded by Trump in the early days. So of course it has been demonised ever since.
There have been some trials which came out against HCQ but most of them have since been debunked and some withdrawn as using dodgy data.

The drug is comparatively safe and has been shown to reduce death rates. SO OF COURSE, in Australia, its use is severely restricted. Why? Well, I’d suggest some reasons:
1. Having precipitously come out against it, health officials are reluctant to back-track. At least some of the deaths in the intervening period would be blamed on them.
2. TDS – Trump is pro therefore the woke need to be anti. It was also suggested that there is a desire to not use the drug so as to ensure that Trump can’t claim to have been right all along.
3. The drug is out of patent and therefore no one can make any real money from it.

They tell us it’s all about saving lives. But is it?

Then there’s masks. The health ‘experts’ have been back and forth on their usefulness. In the main there is little conclusive evidence that masks do much of anything unless they are the high-end N95 masks used by the health fraternity. But in the main the masks are a placebo…

SO OF COURSE, despite their usefulness being questionable, they are now compulsory in the increasingly totalitarian Victoria. Even if you screw-up most aspects of the fight against the WuFlu, forcing people to do something superficial makes it look like you’re doing something. And appearing to be doing something is what it’s really all about.

There are certainly people against HCQ just because Donald Trump thought it was a good idea, and it doesn't get more pathetic than that. Your hint that blowhards posing as 'experts' will not change their minds because of ego problems is probably correct. The people who have made such a dog's breakfast of the Chinese virus panic will have to be dead before the truth gets revealed because our ridiculous libel laws protect such people.

'becoming increasingly clear that Hydrochloroquine (HCQ), when offered/taken early and combined with Zinc supplements is, if not exactly a cure-all, extremely useful at reducing the death rate from the WuFlu.'

no Mhaze it has been clear for a long time. Unfortunately the lying left media puts politics above the lives of people. Fauci and Gates are a disgrace.

We certainly don't see much problem with the virus, where Hydrochloroquine is taken weekly for malaria control do we.

I took the stuff for 5 years without experiencing any side effects, & that was starting over 45 years ago, so plenty of time for any resultant damage to express itself. It certainly worked for malaria, as I was in some pretty bad places for that.

I posted the recommended weekly dose of Hydrochloroquine and Zinc on Facebook and is was immediately removed. It is not a cure it is an assisted preventative for covid-19.

On the matter of the appalling mishandling of the China virus in Victoria, a petition is being circulated demanding that that state be declared a territory, and its administration be taken over the Federal Government. If only!
