Frank Speidel is a retired emergency room physician who hosts “The Doctor Is In”, a public access television show on the Main Line Network in suburban Philadelphia. Recently, I was a guest on his show. The topics were COVID-19 and the public health authorities’ response to it. I found Dr. Speidel’s opening remarks and questions to be insightful, provocative and well-informed. For my part, I repeated for his viewers some of the information and points that I have presented on this blog. Together we laid out enough non-politically correct COVID-19 heresy to get us arrested by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania’s...
Yesterday The American Spectator published my article on censorship of unauthorized thought by YouTube. YouTube is a subsidiary of Google, one of the cyber companies that control what content we can access on line. Readers of this blog may recall My Excellent D.C. Adventure (posted on November 9, 2019) about my wife and I attending the annual TAS banquet in Washington. That article contained the following reference: There was a panel discussion featuring, among others, Harvard Senior Research Psychologist Robert Epstein, a Hillary Clinton supporter, who warned of the dangers of the surveillance state that has been created by Google...
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...
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...
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....
