Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Laura Ingraham: Hydroxychloroquine

“Quackery, Dr. Smith!” Ingraham exclaimed after showing a clip of Hasltine before breaking into laughter at his dour assessment of a drug that has yet to pass any large-scale clinical study for treating COVID-19.
“Wow, I’ve never been called a quack,” Smith responded as Ingraham added: “Yep, that’s what he’s calling you, basically.”

“I’m stunned. I mean the scientific evidence is robust. The safety data is unbelievable,” Smith said “You know, people are arguing we shouldn’t get hydroxychloroquine out for prophylaxis or to hoard because the lupus patients couldn’t get it. And then they are saying it’s not safe. Is it not safe or should lupus patients get it? Can’t be both.”

In fact, many medical experts are warning that off-label usage of the drug for the coronavirus, on which it has not been tested in controlled studies, is not safe and might actually prove fatal.
Smith, however, did not address that point.

“Of course it’s safe. Of course the patients do better on it. Our patients do better on it and it’s just data. Look at the data. That’s all I’m saying,” he claimed.
“That’s the same sort of data they’re looking at. It’s observational data. But if are going to make an association between the drug — the better outcome, that’s not okay. That kind of illogical approach has no place in medicine or science. It’s just disgusting.”

“It’s completely disgusting,” Ingraham agreed, before pivoting to suggest Haseltine and other medical experts’ objections to the untested use of hydroxychloroquine are merely partisan attacks in disguise.

Is it just me or are we missing some meaningful context here?

Not just you.

Lol, I don't know whats wrong with you two but I got it.........

Maybe a youtube perspective

Ok. Thanks. Now I see the rest of the conversation. Context does make a difference.

Attorney General William Barr has condemned the media for what he says are partisan attacks on President Donald Trump for touting the malaria drug hydroxychloroquine as a possible weapon against the novel coronavirus.

In an interview on Fox News, Barr told the anchor Laura Ingraham it was "disappointing" to see the media response to Trump who had been "statesmanlike" in working with governors and yet still had to deal with "snarky 'gotcha' questions from the White House media pool."

He said that "the stridency of the partisan attacks on him has gotten higher and higher," and said the "politicization of decisions like the hydroxychloroquine has been amazing to me."
"Before the president said anything about it, there was fair and balanced coverage of this very promising drug and the fact that it has such a long track record, that the risks were pretty well known.”

"As soon as he said something positive about it, the media has been on a jihad to discredit the drug, It's quite strange," Barr said.

I don't find it strange at all . The msm is nothing but evil!

I caught Barr saying that...

It was awesome..

Why dosent the "right to try" executive order President Trump did a year or so ago apply in this crap to let people take the drug of their own decision????

Any Docs on here know maybe???

Liberal Socialist Democrats dont want people using this drug to get better.

Cause they dont wanta waste the crisis and use it against the President as long as possible .


JMO.

Wonder what the story would look like if Obama had touted the drug instead of Trump?

Probably dont need to wonder very much.

The MSM is no different than the Chinese Dictator Xi. Neither care how their propaganda hurts innocent people if they can get their way. They both put agenda over humanity.

Yep, Bow, it was great.

LOL
I'm with ya on that.

That is because you two morons only "know" what CNN feeds your stupid azzes.


GFY .

Members of the Propaganda Corps will lay scattered across the coming battlefield.

She's a very busy girl when did she get that medical degree?

Tonight, Laura is still all over the effectiveness of hydroxychloroquine like a duck on a June bug.

But I have to give first place to Ann Coulter: “I’ll Have the Chicken Testicle Soup - Hold the Deadly Virus.”
She has a way with words...

My mother took that drug for lupus.....it made her go partially blind.

I think beating off causes similar outcomes.

Laura talks to a lot of people with medical degrees. She is a sharp lawyer who knows how to ask the right questions.
