The Campaign Against Hydroxy- chloroquine Continues

RUSH: This is Dennis, Dennis in Wayne, New Jersey. Welcome, sir. Great to have you with us.

CALLER: Number one, Rush, many prayers. Number two, I’m an infectious disease specialist that believes we need to go on the offensive with the coronavirus epidemic. In a nutshell, we have antibody antigen and we have hydroxychloroquine. We screen people for antibody antigen, and those who are negative for everything, get hydroxychloroquine for prevention. Those who are antibody positive will pass through. Those who are antigen positive who are absolutely symptomatic are offered five hydroxychloroquine. Everybody’s offered. No mandatory.

We’ve got television news anchors claiming it’ll kill you, when it will not. It’s an anti-malaria drug that has been tested for 50 years. It does not kill people. Even if you’ve got COVID-19, it does not kill you, and yet we’ve got people uttering this nonsense.

Exactly as we were told from day one about this. With zinc, with the Z-Pak. The minute that story hit, it wasn’t — and then Trump. You remember who the original advocate for hydroxychloroquine was? It was Trump. Trump was the original advocate, and that killed it. The Drive-Bys could not allow it. The Democrats could not allow for Trump’s chosen medicine to be effective.
