Hydroxychloroquine: A Morality Tale
A startling investigation into how a cheap, well-known drug became a political football in the midst of a pandemic
Louie Gohmert is COVID-19-free, and he credits hydroxychloroquine
by Susan Ferrechio Washington | August 15, 2020 06:30 AM
Rep. Louie Gohmert has recovered from the coronavirus and plans to donate plasma in the coming days, he told the Washington Examiner.
Story continues below advertisement“I’m feeling really well, really great, actually,” the Texas Republican said.
Gohmert tested positive for the coronavirus on July 29 after taking a test at the White House ahead of a planned trip with President Trump.
Gohmert drove to Texas to self-quarantine and suffered several days of mild symptoms, including fatigue, but is now free of the virus, he said.
He tested negative for the virus and positive for the coronavirus antibodies this week. Gohmert said that he will donate plasma “as often as I am allowed” to help others recover from the virus.
Gohmert, who turns 67 next week, told the Washington Examiner he believes his recovery was aided by the use of vitamin supplements and hydroxychloroquine, the drug touted by Trump and some medical doctors that is not endorsed by the Food and Drug Administration for use in treating the coronavirus.
“I had a couple of bad days, but I started taking hydroxychloroquine, [Zithromax], and zinc, along with vitamins D3 and C,” he said. “And I took a steroid nebulizer for a few days to help coat the alveoli in the lungs and protect them somewhat from the COVID virus attack.”
He added, “I feel sorry for patients whose doctors are not even allowed to consider the hydroxychloroquine regimen. That’s a real shame.”
Gohmert said he has been cleared by the Capitol’s attending physician to return to work and will vote in person if Congress reconvenes this summer to take up a now-stalled coronavirus aid package.
Gohmert said he plans to wear a mask but said questions remain about whether face coverings are truly effective at preventing the spread of the coronavirus.
Gohmert and other GOP lawmakers were criticized for not wearing masks in the Capitol, although Gohmert started wearing a mask about two weeks before he contracted the coronavirus.
“Anywhere that’s the rule, I’ll wear a mask,” Gohmert said.
Democrats criticized Gohmert after his diagnosis, calling his decision not to wear a mask “reckless,” even though he wore one in the weeks prior to his diagnosis.
House Natural Resources Committee Chairman Raul Grijalva, 72, an Arizona Democrat who sat next to Gohmert at a July hearing, tested positive for the coronavirus on Aug. 1 and indirectly blamed Gohmert.
“While I cannot blame anyone directly for this, this week has shown that there are some members of Congress who fail to take this crisis seriously,” Grijalva said at the time. “Numerous Republican members routinely strut around the Capitol without a mask to selfishly make a political statement at the expense of their colleagues, staff, and their families. I’m pleased that Speaker Pelosi has mandated the use of masks at the Capitol to keep members and staff safe from those looking to score quick political points. Stopping the spread of a deadly virus should not be a partisan issue.”
Gohmert pointed out he wore a mask at the hearing with Grijalva unless he was asking witnesses a question, and the two sat at a distance from each other.
“I think he’s looking for someone to blame,” Gohmert said. “So, he’s gotten a little ridiculous with that claim.”
Accountable US, a left-leaning corruption watchdog group, filed a complaint with the outside congressional ethics office, demanding an investigation into Gohmert and accusing him of putting the Capitol at risk for not wearing a mask ahead of his coronavirus diagnosis.
“I was wearing a mask more in those last couple of weeks than I had in the months before, and mainly because it was the rule, you had to wear a mask,” Gohmert said.
Gohmert dismissed the accusation and denied a report from an ex-staffer that he shamed those in the office who wore masks.
“I’ve never berated any of my staff for wearing a mask,” Gohmert said. “The one thing I’ve said is do what makes you feel the most comfortable, and if you’re comfortable wearing a mask, if you think that’s a good idea, wear a mask.”
Gohmert said from now on he’ll wear a mask but believes he cannot infect anyone.
“I’ll wear a mask, even though I’m immune and I can’t give it to anybody,” he said.

Now there you go throwing real facts into the situation. The libturd parasites hate facts and truth because they make their tiny libturd brain cell explode.

So the moronic libturd dumocrap Grijalva caught the virus while wearing a mask, that is supposed to stop him from catching the beervirus, and he blames someone who took his off while asking questions of witnesses. If masks stop you from catching or spreading a virus that isn’t stopped by a mask then how do you blame someone else? It’s always the same with the libturds…they blame everyone else for their failures and faults! It will never change.

Wuhan Lab Received COVID-19 From Miners In 2012, Scientists Say
https://worldisraelnews.com/wuhan-lab-received-covid-19-from-miners-in-2012-scientists-say/
Scientists at the non-profit Bioscience Resource Project in Ithaca, New York, have strong evidence that the COVID-19 virus first appeared in a handful of Chinese miners in 2012.
The researchers say that the COVID-19 virus genome is most closely related to the virus ‘RaTG13’. Six Mojiang bat guano miners fell ill in April 2012 with a mystery coronavirus infection that caused COVID-19 like symptoms. Three of the six subsequently died. Then Kunming Medical University obtained RaTG13 from tissues belonging to those six bat guano miners. Then the Wuhan Institute of Virology obtained RaTG13 from Kunming in 2013. But in 2019, the Wuhan Institute of Virology accidentally released RaTG13 into the general city population. And now RaTG13 is called the Covid-19 virus.
However, the COVID-19 virus has “remained functionally unchanged or virtually so” since the pandemic began. Latham and Wilson are calling for “an independent and transparent investigation” of the Wuhan lab.

This is the best theory right now about where the Covid-19 virus came from.

My doctor has also refused to prescribe hydroxychloroquine should I come down with WuFlu, insisting that my only option will be “quarantine”. I am a certified pharmacy tech, and believe he is under some sort of pressure as I can think of no other excuse.

GET ANOTHER DOCTOR. Mine asked me if I wanted it. I declined and told him I would let him know. He said to just call him and he would prescribe it.

He has previously been reliable, but his small group practice has recently been absorbed into a larger one comprised of major and very prominent hospitals in a predominantly DeMarxocrat city. I am concerned about internal pressure more than anything else.

Louie Gohmert is very lucky,.. He’s not apart of the Democrats ‘plan’ to bury the virus,… along with a lot of bodies!!

So a face diaper MUST be worn by somebody who is Covid 19 immune and can’t transmit it to anybody? Why? Although Gohmert and millions of others are now immune everybody will be forced to get the Gates vaccine? This crap isn’t about science or a virus it’s about globalist control. The media sucks turn off your TV and stop paying them.

HCQ plus zinc, D3, and Vitamin C is the protocol I keep hearing touted by many doctors who use natural medicine. Nebulizing a steroid for the alveoli of the lungs sounds like a really good idea. It seems crazy to let the economy be destroyed for something so inexpensive to treat. Democrats must destroy the economy to flip America over into a hellhole of Communism for the masses and Fascism at the top.

HCQ should be available for anyone who wants it but don’t forget that it is difficult to assess the value of any intervention when you are looking at a disease whose natural history is a 99.7% recovery rate.

Not having to wear a mask when you have to talk in Congress makes wearing a mask when NOT talking, sneezing or coughing irrelevant. The virus is everywhere and mask wearing only needed in specific situations to protect medical personnel at risk, around debilitated vulnerable patients and by all known infected people who got out in public.
Practice good hygiene like you normally would do during the flu season.
No need to cripple education and commerce for a virus that kills less than 0.3% of persons infected by COVID19—that probably could be less if HCQ given early.
Don’t talk directly into someone’s face and, block any sneeze/cough into your elbow; wash hands; be particularly careful around elderly, debilitated.
Maintain immunity with Vit. C, D and zinc. Quercetin is an OTC zinc ionophore that inhibits viral replication similar to HCQ.

It is important to understand that HCQ is not a cure all it only helps in some cases. Gohmert’s case was a mild one and he was lucky. Medical opinion around the world does not support it as a universal cure

He’s a lucky guy, he can just call up his doctor and get the HCQ. I tried that with my doctor and was told flatly, “Not going to happen.” Seems if you are a celebrity or politician things magically happen because of connections. For the little hard working American tax payer, not so much. How does one find a doctor who will dispense this? What a scam.
