Unfortunately you are dead on in this assessment. I really wish that it wasn't so but it is. Only a fool takes Covid lightly at this juncture.

Its similar to how we successfully treat acid reflux by removing a kidney. A bit extreme? Totally. Is it effective? Maybe, who cares! Is it necessary? It makes money! Also no.

These doctors likely all mean well and want to help these unfortunate Covid victims that we have lost. However they are allowing unnecessary deaths to continue to climb with their medical protocol. They are only following studies that are coming out of Vanderbilt or Harvard. Completely ignoring the many studies that have shown other highly successful treatments. Here is one out of Yale https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.05.02.20080036v1. One from the Henry Ford Health System https://www.ijidonline

hydroxychloroquine doesn't make billions of dollars for the pharmaceutical companies, so the fda won't approve it and the cdc won't recommend it be used or approved either. I'm sure you know this, im sharing for others who may think remdesvir (sp?) Is the better choice.
