Quote where I said "represents". I said there are thousands and thousands of doctors who have promoted the use of HCQ as a treatment. Which has been true for some time:
An article from April that’s working off old, outdated, and pre-testing isn’t very convincing man. They did studies after this narrative came out and found that it wasn’t effective, which is why recent articles dispute that.
We won't have much to argue about if you want to allege that a lot of the narrative is politically driven. I strongly suspect we'll come at it from opposing points of view, but we won't be having that debate in this forum.
I’m not suggesting anything, I’m saying the event was hosted and paid for by a political group and hosted on political social media corners. That is a fact. I did not state who it was for a reason, people can look that up for themselves. It is public record though. If a political group hosts an event, that should be something people are aware of, because political groups, especially those that are on the more extreme end of the spectrum, rarely do things without a narrative goal in mind. There is no need for debate because what side does what means nothing in this case. The only thing that we need to know is that a political group hosted the event. Simple fact.
"Cure" or "treatment"? I didn't hear "cure", maybe I missed it, but if so, that's at best inarticulate phrasing. I don't think I've heard any doctors saying it's a "cure" in the scientific sense so much as a "treatment".
And it has been used successfully as a treatment in many cases. The success has been getting the drug administered early after diagnosis (along with zinc), which prevents the virus from replicating. The quoted doctor has over 350 successful cases treating it, and if she way lying it would be easily disprovable.
As for the meta-debate here, the best counter to what one believes to be incorrect or "misinformation" is more information, not suppression. Furthermore, the instant "science" relies on suppression of information instead of vigorous debate, it is no longer science.
Nobody who alleges to believe in science should have any problem with a particular scientific viewpoint being challenged.
I believe she says cure, but regardless, even treatment is misinformation. It’s not being used as a treatment because outside of extremely rare circumstances it doesn’t work, and the reverse is that for the majority of those who it wouldn’t work for it increases their risk. A 17 year old cancer surviving girl died when her parents tried to treat her with HCQ. To suggest that people should attempt to turn to that, which is what these videos are doing, is not only a false treatment, it’s actually dangerous. Especially outside of a hospital. Those who have been treated with it have to be constantly monitored by doctors and nurses.
With all that being said, let’s focus on the doctor herself. As you said, if she’s saying a falsehood, that’s easily disproved if someone were to do the work. I don’t have that ability right now, so let’s examine her closer.
This doctor you’re quoting has also gone on record to say that alien DNA is being used in treatments, scientists are making a “vaccine” that makes people reject religion, and most gynecological problems like cysts and endometriosis are actually caused by people having sex with demons and witches in their dreams. She also believes that reptilians run the government. Yes, I know you have attempted to hand wave that away, but this isn’t acting. You cannot say you’re a medical doctor who’s medical opinion should be respected, and then make outrageous medical claims
So I’m gonna have a bit of a hard time taking anything she says without a massive grain of salt here. My degree and experience wouldn’t suddenly give a statement like the moon is made of cheese some actual legitimacy, it would just call into question my research into planetary evolution and predicting planetary habitability based on previous, now dead, regional stars. Totally unrelated, yes, but that’s what happens when you make bullshit statements.
I do believe in science, I do this every day for a living. That means it takes peer reviewed, studied, testable, repeatable, and provable results to get me to clamp down on a stance, and that stance can always change if the science changes.
You provide things that fit into those criteria and you’ll make a believer out of me.
Putting someone in a white coat before a mic to repeat talking points? Nah, that won’t do it. I can do that, I have a lab coat, and I’m a doctor who works at a research university that is one of the leading Covid research centers in the United S
Stick a microphone in front of me, call me doctor and point out the university I work for and what they do regarding Covid. Nothing is false, but does that mean I’m speaking from a place of knowledge? Of course not, but people would continue to post what Dr. Coconuts said, until someone pointed out that I’m just some asshole with an advanced degree in physics.
Peer reviewed studied, that’s what’ll get me. And so far those studies say ol demon jizz ain’t right.
