A Report From the Front

Posted by George Parry Commentary

Yesterday The American Spectator published my article about the Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Consortium, a group of ICU physicians who have developed a treatment protocol which they are using to successfully treat COVID-19 cases. The article is set forth below. Shortly after the article went live on TAS’ website, I received an email from one of the consortium members, Dr. Paul Marik (pictured above) who is Chief of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine at Eastern Virginia Medical School. This led to telephone calls with Dr. Marik and Dr. Joseph Varon, Professor of Acute and Continuing Care at he University […]

Hitler Shelters in Place

Posted by George Parry Commentary

I have been working hard on yet another analytical piece about the COVID-19 pandemic and hope to publish it soon. In the meantime, I just came across the below “Hitler in the bunker” parody. It’s about Governor Brian Kemp’s bold decision to completely reopen the State of Georgia for business. As I will explain later, I think Kemp made the right decision. Anyhow, as a Georgia native, I find Hitler’s tirade and observations about my home state to be sidesplittingly funny. So heeeere’s Der Fuhrer! Enjoy!

Earth Day Reflections

Posted by George Parry Commentary

Pictured above is the late environmental activist and counterculture leader Ira Einhorn presiding over the very first Earth Day 50 years ago this month in Philadelphia. In addition to being the Earth Day guru and a leader of the environmental movement, Einhorn was also a conman who lived off and abused gullible women. One of these was his long-suffering girlfriend Holly Maddux, a graduate of Bryn Mawr College. After five years of degradation and abuse, Holly finally found the courage to end her relationship with him. On September 9, 1977, she went to retrieve her belongings from the apartment they […]

Our Nanny Police State

Posted by George Parry Commentary

Yesterday, The American Spectator published my article regarding Dr. Jonathan Geach and his argument for ending the COVID-19 lockdown. You can access the article along with readers’ comments on the AmSpec website by clicking on this link. Otherwise here’s the article. Hope you find it to be useful. Whither Our Nanny Police State? The Case of Dr. Jonathan Geach – The American Spectator Tennessee physician Jonathan Geach, M.D., describes himself as “a simple country Anesthesiologist with big ideas.” Working with a group of distinguished colleagues, he recently wrote a well-reasoned and compelling article calling for an end to the destructive […]

America Heads for the Exit

Posted by George Parry Commentary

All of us owe Scott Johnson at Powerline a debt of gratitude for championing the cause of Dr. Jonathan Geach, a Tennessee physician who has been waging a lonely battle against internet censorship. Dr. Geach’s article “Eight reasons to end the [COVID-19] lockdown now” was recently published on the Medium website. In it, he explained why the lockdown was medically unnecessary and counterproductive. But, after the article began to – pardon the expression – go “viral”, Medium took it down and posted this helpful notice: Hello, Due to elevated risk of potential harm to persons or public health, Medium’s Trust & […]

The White House Punch and Judy Show

Posted by George Parry Commentary

Every day I watch President Trump and the White House COVID-19 team do battle with the committed propagandists of the mainstream media. There is a certain amount of pleasure to be derived from watching the frustration of the reporters as they set one gotcha’ forensic trap after another for the president only to have him talk past, over and around them. Occasionally Trump will point out that a reporter has asked a “nasty” question or is a “loudmouth” or “wise guy”. While this has a certain limited entertainment value, overall Trump does better when he completely ignores the trick questions […]

The Beginning of the End

Posted by George Parry Commentary

Pictured above is world-renowned infectious disease expert Professor Didier Raoult, the head of the Institut Hospitalo-Universitaire (IHU) Méditerranée Infection in Marseille, France. Researchers under his leadership have recently conducted two clinical trials that have demonstrated the efficacy of treating COVID-19 with a combination of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) and azithromycin. In the second clinical trial that drug combination reportedly cured 79 out of 80 patients. There was 1 fatality who was in his 80’s. Noting that “adverse events were rare and minor,” the researchers summarized their findings as follows: In conclusion, we confirm the efficacy of hydroxychloroquine associated with azithromycin in the treatment of […]

The $20 Solution

Posted by George Parry Commentary

Here’s a slightly edited and improved iteration of my article which was published in yesterday’s The American Spectator regarding the rapidly proliferating clinical and laboratory data that support the use of the inexpensive, safe and widely available antimalarial drug hydroxychloroquine to treat and prevent COVID-19 infections. I hope you find it to be interesting and useful. The $20 Solution to Coronavirus: ‘Anecdotal Evidence’ Is a Life-Saver | The American Spectator Over the weekend, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued an emergency authorization for the use of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) and chloroquine (CQ) to treat hospitalized COVID-19 patients. Simultaneously, the Department of […]

The Game Changer

Posted by George Parry Commentary

Set forth below is my article that was published in yesterday’s The American Spectator about the antimalarial drug chloroquine being used alone or in combination with the antibiotic azithromycin to successfully treat and possibly prevent COVID-19 infections. When President Trump recently expressed his belief that chloroquine could be a “game changer” in the fight against the pandemic, the New York Times accused him of exaggerating its potential and claimed that it showed “limited evidence of healing the sick.” As you will see, the available evidence fully justifies Trump’s optimism. Since publication, even more information has come to light supporting Trump’s view. […]

Apocalypse No

Posted by George Parry Commentary

I’m not a doctor, and I don’t play one on television. But I do have many friends, former clients and professional associates who are health care professionals. So, when The American Spectator asked me to write an analysis of the COVID-19 pandemic, after I finished rolling around on the floor laughing at the absurdity of me – a pre-med drop out – taking on such a complex and specialized topic, I was able to seek guidance from some very smart, knowledgeable and experienced medical professionals. With their help and five straight days of pulling my hair out as I digested a […]

Saint Patrick’s Day

Posted by George Parry Commentary

Pictured above is an “anti-treaty” unit of the Irish Republican Army patrolling Dublin’s Grafton Street in 1922. The treaty in question was the proposed Anglo-Irish Treaty between the self-declared Irish Republic and Great Britain that would end the Irish war of independence and establish 26 of Ireland’s 32 counties as the Irish Free State, a semi-autonomous dominion of Great Britain. The remaining 6 counties in the north of Ireland would remain under direct British rule. In early 1922, the treaty was being bitterly debated by the Dail Eireann, Ireland’s equivalent of our Congress. The large Sinn Fein minority in the Dail and […]

Apocalypse Meow

Posted by George Parry Commentary

Late Friday afternoon, after watching President Trump’s Rose Garden declaration of a national emergency to combat the Coronavirus, I went to the local supermarket to pick up a few odds and ends. Anybody want to guess what I found? Upon arrival, I noticed that the parking lot was jammed and that a score of harried-looking shoppers were pushing heavily-laden carts to their cars. Sensing what waited inside, I considered turning around and going home empty-handed. But then I had a better idea. This was a chance to observe firsthand exactly what kind of panic and carnage a solid month of […]

He draws on his professional experience to call out Senate Minority […]

Whither Roger Stone?

Posted by George Parry Commentary

Reproduced below is my latest and somewhat lengthy article on Roger Stone as it appears in The American Spectator. If you would like to read it complete with readers’ comments, you can access it on the AmSpec website by clicking this link. The featured image above is from To Kill a Mockingbird. That’s Atticus Finch (Gregory Peck) summing up to the jury on behalf of his doomed client, Tom Robinson (the guy with his back to the camera). It’s an apt pictorial metaphor for what happened in USA v. Roger Stone. Hope you enjoy the piece. Whither Roger Stone? | […]
