First, YouTube deleted America’s Frontline Doctors’ press conference. Then the organization’s website disappears. What’s different about their message that’s warranted such an attack?

In their banned press conference they state that hydroxychloroquine is a safe and effective drug in the prevention and treatment of COVID-19. This anti-malaria drug has been used for decades to treat auto-immune conditions, says the American College of Rheumatology. Is this controversial prescription what set off the alarm bells with the public health authorities?

Personally, I haven’t had much interest in the hydroxychloroquine (or most drugs, for that matter). It lends to the halo that the coronavirus is exceptionally deadly (when the data show it is no worse than a bad flu season). I also think that lifestyle choices offer more protection from this common cold virus. Simple things such as getting sufficient sleep (e.g. don’t drink coffee!), proper diet, fresh air, exercise and intermittent fasting.

That said, this drug may offer the extra boost elderly and immune compromised people need in surviving any respiratory illness (not just COVID). Also, most people don’t live a healthy lifestyle and would rather rely on a drug. I’d much rather see people having the option to voluntarily take a moderate dose of hydroxychloroquine every two weeks; rather than all of us being forced to take an improperly tested COVID-19 vaccine every few months. 

“I have personally treated over 350 patients with COVID-19 from all ages and with all kinds of pre-existing medical conditions,” Dr. Stella Immanuel said at the conference. “I have put them on hydroxychloroquine, zinc and Zithromax and they are all well. I and many other doctors have taken hydroxychloroquine as a preventative measure and none of us has gotten sick. It works! One pill of hydroxychloroquine every other week would be sufficient as a preventative measure against COVID. No lockdowns, social distancing or masks are needed.” 

Of course, I must ask, did her 350 patients get better because they took those two drugs; or did they get better because she didn’t rush them onto a ventilator?

Nonetheless, Dr. Simone Gold added: “There is plenty of published data which shows that hydroxychloroquine could have saved 70,000 to 100,000 lives. The main stream media has not mentioned even one of these studies.”

“Hydroxychloroquine is a very safe and effective drug when taken at the right dosages,” said Dr Richard Urso. “The test trials that reported harmful reactions were done at extremely high doses which is why they didn’t work or even caused the symptoms to worsen.”

Dr. James Todaro agreed: “If it seems like there is an orchestrated attack against hdroxychloroquine it’s because there is. A 65-year-old medication that has been on the WHO’s safe essential list for years…. A Google document that I co-authored on the safety and effectiveness of hdroxychloroquine has been taken down by Google. A lot of misinformation out there that has reached the highest orders of medicine.”

According to various sources the drug is available over-the-counter in Iran and South America. While in New York state, considered the epicentre of COVID deaths in the USA, the governor is reported to have placed an “executive order prohibiting pharmacists from dispensing the antimalarial drug hydroxychloroquine outside a hospital or inpatient setting to treat the novel coronavirus.”

So while I’d personally not recommend, nor discourage, the use of hydroxychloroquine, I’m all for doctors and patients having the freedom to use this drug if they see fit. If it is as effective as America’s Frontline Doctors claim, I assume its presence would certainly help dissipate the hysteria used to justify mandatory COVID-19 vaccinations.

That said, pushing a controversial pharmacological solution may just be a distraction to stop people from asking the more important question: Why are we suddenly so worried about a common cold virus that has proven no more dangerous than the regular cold and flu season?
