Tbh I do not think they were expecting something like this and it is throwing a real monkey wrench into their plans.

All the initial reactions from media that I saw when I first heard about this was "fake / fraud doctor posts website with cure looking for money". Then I looked up the credentials of the trial doctors and the guy's a brilliant and respected virologist.

At that rate, Bayer only has to sell 1.4 trillion tablets to double their revenue. That's under 200 per living human!

People were claiming it was debunked and posting a link to an article that said it doesn’t work with literally no other information

"debunked" has secretly changed meanings since reality has been inconvenient to the deep state.

Back on plebbit people were spamming it was "a debunked conspiracy theory spread by known racist Laura Ingram" the day after the Italian study was published.

Don't know why it's such as surprise, SK used it to reduce their COVID-19 deaths. We're following suit.

They thought Trump would minimize the virus while they simultaneously drove the public into a state of panic. Trump called their bluff and took control, creating unity and winning over supporters in the process. The media gets played and left with egg on their face as they try to keep up their deluded spin machine.

Imagine being such a pathetic malicious shill that you actively try to hide life saving advice because you want orange man to look bad.

Did they mention Diane Feinstein? I bet she shows all receipts and they are fine.

I started telling people about this on Wednesday night and referenced news articles. When the nightly news came on, you would have thought it would be a story but nope, nada, crickets. It got those people questioning the motives of the Communist controlled DNC media.

The party of "science" saying that the virus is going to infect 20,000,000 people and cause a major outbreak in the US. Sounds like an oxymoron and a reason to not trust them. How do they not believe their own "amazingly smart and sophisticated" scientist won't quickly come out with a treatment to stop the spread? Propaganda and fear is why.

They need to have wu-flu be more damaging than H1N1. Otherwise, Trump can use it leading up to November. Obama (H1N1) 60m infected, Trump (Wu-flu) 1m infected, do the math, ugely better job!

I think the exact numbers are in debate, but downplaying the severity of this virus is counter-productive if you want to get Trump re-elected. Obama may have completely botched the H1N1 response, but he was incredibly lucky that it was as relatively mild as it was. We don't know the exact mortality rate of this disease, but the lower estimates place it 5x-10x deadlier than flu. It's also WAY more contagious. That means we have to get ready for a huge spike in hospitalizations that our system might not be ready for. We have THE BEST scientists in the world. I hope and pray that they will discover a cure soon--like the president I am hopeful that we will find something (https://nypost.com/2020/03/20/trump-fauci-differ-on-possible-game-changer-coronavirus-drug/) but I also put a lot of trust in Fauci. All this takes time, and we need to buy time by avoiding becoming the next Italy. It's not too late for us yet, but it's getting close.

Actually, I dislike Fauci. Isn't he the one who keeps saying the chloroquine evidence is anecdotal?

It may not need to take time. This isn’t a new drug. This isn’ta new solution. Fauci is a gaffe machine and I worry I’ll prepared, poor situational awareness or really just wants this to continue.

I'm fairly familiar with the drug as it's been used for ages in third world countries against Malaria. That shit is potent as fuck. The way it works is by fucking up the way viruses reproduce. It's so good at it that it even prevents some human cells from reproducing. It's basically the equivalent of chemo against viruses.

Even if it isnt the main therapy, maybe it would be enough, in the short term, to get a lot of people to calm down.

Even if it doesn't work great, still try the darn thing. As Trump said in one of his speeches, its been in use for years so what's the worst that's going to happen? It doesn't work that great against Winnie the Flu? Fine, so now the people are no worse off then they were before. If it does work, then we can save lives that would otherwise be lost, we can get people out of the hospital faster and we can get back to normal faster.

This is why right to try and allowing off label prescriptions is crucial. But now liberals hate my body my choice

Seriously - the upside is huge, the downside is minimal, why the heck would we not?

Kosecant 6 points ago +6 / -0

this has been my thought on it.

Lets say 100% effective is abull shit.

but 80% effective is accurate. that's an 80% strain we just pulled off the health care system (relatively speaking of course)

At the very least we should be looking in to

I have a Mom and a few Aunts that take this for arthritis. Time to raid their medicine cabinets...kidding about the raiding.

Absolutely. It is often said you don't see conservatives protesting because we are always at work. Well, I'm now laid off and I'm pissed off. They want revolt? They can have it. Just not by the group they wanted and aimed squarely at the corruption that led to this.

We propped up an autocracy in China for over a generation. Our business leaders ruined our nation by shifting our jobs there. Our political leaders traded at a loss with China and allowed unrestricted travel for decades. This was inevitable given our lax immigration and travel policies, but was absolutely preventable. The leaders who continued such policies deserve to face judgement for them.

Society in every state is a blessing, but Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one: for when we suffer, or are exposed to the same miseries BY A GOVERNMENT, which we might expect in a country WITHOUT GOVERNMENT, our calamity is heightened by reflecting that we furnish the means by which we suffer.>

We have a few cases in Sydney Australia and it's lovely warm weather here. Interestingly the hottest state here has the lowest number of infections
