“Risch, a professor of epidemiology and the director of Yale’s Molecular Cancer Epidemiology Laboratory, has been pushing for the drug’s use in the fight against the coronavirus for months. Last week in a Newsweek op-ed he called HCQ “the key to defeating COVID-19,” claiming its use — particularly when administered with one of two antibiotics and the nutritional supplement zinc — has been “shown to be highly effective” in treating high-risk coronavirus patients.
On Tuesday, Risch went further, charging in an interview with Just the News that Fauci is perpetrating a “misinformation campaign” in his opposition to the drug.”
It appears that the entire campaign against hydroxychloroquine is driven by the fact that Trump has endorsed its use to treat COVID-19. So even if it saves lives, our infantile corporate media and Political Class opposes it, because their hate for Trump overrides their concern for COVID patients. Of course, they also oppose it because it’s cheap and effective, and fortunes can’t be made off of it by their advertisers.
