The trial was seeking 630 participants, but trial enrollment was stopped in August at 231 participants due to very few people having progressive COVID-19.

August. This overhyped cold was over in August. The only people still panicking about it are complete tools.

But let's look at it anyway.

Hydroxychloroquine showed promise in studies done in test tubes rather than in animals or humans.  LIE

A year after the treatment trial launched in five cities, Johnston can say hydroxychloroquine had no effect in treating people with COVID-19.   LIE
~~~

The primary clinical outcome of the study was progression of COVID-19 to pneumonia or hospitalization, and time to symptom resolution was a secondary outcome.

“There was no faster resolution of symptoms among people receiving hydroxychloroquine or hydroxychloroquine/azithromycin compared to placebo.” Johnston said.  INACCURATE AND MISLEADING 

~~~

Smaller trials and observational studies were having mixed results. EVASION
~~~

THE REAL STUDY conducted simultaneously:

A team at Henry Ford Health System in Southeast Michigan said Thursday its study of 2,541 hospitalized patients found that those given hydroxychloroquine were much less likely to die.

Dr. Marcus Zervos, division head of infectious disease for Henry Ford Health System, said 26% of those not given hydroxychloroquine died, compared to 13% of those who got the drug. The team looked back at everyone treated in the hospital system since the first patient in March.

"Overall crude mortality rates were 18.1% in the entire cohort, 13.5% in the hydroxychloroquine alone group, 20.1% among those receiving hydroxychloroquine plus azithromycin, 22.4% among the azithromycin alone group, and 26.4% for neither drug," the team wrote in a report published in the International Journal of Infectious Diseases.See the phrasing?  The "Study" claiming no effect talks about treating people who are already progressing and severe.

The honest study is based on prophylactic use as soon as symptoms appear.

This is like claiming that a fire extinguisher can't stop your house from burning down, which is true.  But, if you put out the stove fire within the first minute, there's a significantly better chance your house won't burn down in the first place.

So the question remains:  Who's profiting from ongoing panic, hysteria, and refusal to treat?

This lady is trying to so hard to SPREAD AWARENESS and FIGHT RACISM that she completely misses how utterly racist she is herself.

First, she manages to stereotype a billion people in the first ten seconds.

So, when you say "White" people, do you mean Brits, Hibernians, Gaels, Gauls, Finn-Ugrics, Scandis, Balts, Slavs, Balkans, Germanics, Iberians, Italics, Turkics, Caucasians, Berbers, Arabs, Hellenes, or Persians?  Or do we all look the same to you?

And when you say "People of Color," do you mean 7 billion people have no identifying distinction other than not being light-skinned?

She's literally categorized the entire world into "White" and "not white."  As if either one of those is a monoculture.

She categorically denies that "white" people can have any culture other than being "white."  By which she means "Middle class American" and apparently midwest.

After that she gets onto the "using our cultural features" like hairstyles and such.

First of all, a great many of those are pan-cultural and have been for millennia.

Second...you're using MY language (Well, my mother's. I don't know any Scots or Gaelic from my father's side. The English took care of that).  You're using the internet, electricity, clothing, furniture that are European, a building with architecture of a European style.  You probably have a car, and use fuel and roads, all invented by Europeans.  She probably uses tampons.  Literally everything in your video is European, other than yourself.  But we can't copy anything you claim is yours, for reasons?

After that it just gets painful, awkward, and ridiculous.

Watching this ignorant little twit try to offload her own provincialism and racism on everyone else is just sad.

 

In case you missed it, Chinese state media, a wholly owned subsidiary of the CCP, like the Chinese military, Chinese government, and Dr Anthony Fauscist, is telling people to prepare for nuclear war if the Bidet administration follows through on a probe of the Wuhan lab.

The way this should play out is a series of phone calls.

"Hey, Mr Putin. Great to talk to you. Listen, we've been competitors but not actually enemies for almost 30 years now, but I believe we have a way to help you with one of your issues.  Great.  Details to follow."

"Hello, Mr Kovind?  How's India handling this virus?  Sorry to hear that, good luck. Can we offer some help? Hey, you know this came out of China, right?  And they're a real pain in your ass, yes?  Cool, stand by."

"Mr Alvi. Hey, I know you and India are at odds over Kashmir for water and arable land. But what if I told you a quick favor to them and us could make that much less of an issue? Interested?  Excellent, wait one."

"Supreme Leader Kim. Hey, I know things are kinda iffy, but would you like a chunk of land to expand into? No strings attached, minimal cost.  Yes, a real bargain. Hold on."

"Monsieur Macron.  Remember how China fucked over your entire Indochina colonial project?  Well, it's time to fix that.  Okay, give me a sec."

"Boris, doing well?  Hey, we've backed each other up a long time now. We need a solid. Well, more accurately, a plasma.  Yeah, I figured you'd like that one. Ready?"

"Mr Netanyahu, sorry about the money to Hamas. Look, we know you can't get involved, but we know where you stand. If we pull some of those funds back from Hamassholes, can you just keep cool and quiet?  Glad to hear it."

"Okay, this is working?  Damn, Zoom is great. Or as we can rename it now...

BOOM!"

Bass Pro Shops and its subsidiary Cabela’s last year quietly stopped internet and telephone sales of antique-style revolvers and muskets, closing what gun violence experts said had been a loophole for people with felony convictions to illegally buy firearms. 

Legally, those are not firearms. Can the intellectually dishonest stop tossing around the word "loophole"?  If something doesn't violate the law, it doesn't violate the law.  Legal activity are not "loopholes" unless you're the kind of Nazi piece of shit who wants everything banned and permission from the state for each individual action.

The restriction on what are known as black powder guns is another example of large U.S. retailers rethinking how easy they’ve made it for Americans to buy firearms, especially online, after high-profile or preventable shootings. 

Complying with the law is "retailers making it easy."

And in some places, black powder guns are also one of the few ways a person with a felony conviction can purchase a firearm. A 1968 federal law that otherwise bars people who’ve committed serious crimes from having a gun has an exception that allows for antique-style guns. State laws vary, with some states allowing felons to buy them while others, like Ohio, do not, a situation that authorities said has sometimes led to unlawful sales. 

Black powder weapons are not "firearms." That is the law.  

Cabela’s shipped the revolver to the neighbor by mail and did not require him to complete a background check

And since they are not firearms, it is illegal to do a background check, anymore than you'd do a background check for a scope or an air gun.  The Gun Control Act of 1968 specifies "firearms," which fire a fixed cartridge using a combustible propellant, and are made on or after 1 Jan 1899.

In court papers before the settlement, Cabela’s denied many of the allegations in the lawsuit, including that it had a duty not to sell black powder firearms to prohibited purchasers in states such as Ohio. It said the sale had legally taken place in Nebraska, not Ohio, because that's where its call center and distribution warehouse are. And it had asked the suit to be dismissed because of a 2005 federal law that generally bars lawsuits against gun sellers over criminal misuse of firearms. The judge, though, allowed most of the suit to proceed.

The judge was a cocksucker and ignorant of the law.  But Cabela's probably figured it was cheaper to pay off than fight it.

A jury in Ohio convicted Galliher’s neighbor, Paul Claren, of aggravated murder and illegal gun possession in 2017. He had argued self-defense. A state appeals court threw out the murder conviction last year, citing improper jury instructions, and a new trial is scheduled for as soon as August. 

Ah, so at present, this is entirely civil not criminal, and state, not federal.  And you're now complaining that not-firearms are not legally the same as firearms.  Just like bicycles are not motor vehicles.

Rampant idiocy, cowardice, and intellectual bankruptcy. Typical of American media  and liberals.  But I repeat myself.
