You are using the word "Communist" in a meaningless way.
Look, you are free to think what you like. I know I'm not an expert -- I'm not even a doctor, and I don't think I'm in a position to judge this either way. If you think you know enough to judge, go for it.
What I do wonder about is why these doctors were experimenting on their patients. In the US, there are protocols. Certain drugs are recommended for certain things. If someone wants to experiment, he's supposed to get permission. Then he does his study. Some studies are small; when you have small studies, you often get different results in them; but if a drug shows promise, then a larger study gets done. Different variables are also studied. A drug may be safe for most people but pose dangers for specific groups. Thus the VA study was quite interesting. Veterans had an unusually high mortality rate. In one way, it seemed to work; in another way, it seemed to kill certain people. Until science knows what's what, the small benefits of using HCQ probably do not outweigh the dangers posed to certain groups of people. When more is known, perhaps HCQ will be more widely recommended.
Covid-19: VA Study Points to Increased Mortality with Hydroxycroquine | Physician's Weekly
The study authors noted that patients with more severe disease were more likely to be prescribed either HC alone or in combination with AZ.
The patients in all arms of the study were around age 70, more than half were black, and all had a BMI around 30 kg/m2.
“Thus, as expected, increased mortality was observed in patients treated with hydroxycroquine, both with and without azithromycin,” they wrote. “Nevertheless, the increased risk of overall mortality in the hydroxyc
roquine-only group persisted after adjusting for the propensity of being treated with the drug. That there was no increased risk of ventilation in the hydroxyc
roquine-only group suggests that mortality in this group might be attributable to drug effects on or dysfunction in non-respiratory vital organ systems. Indeed, hydroxyc
roquine use in Covid-19 patients has been associated with cardiac toxicity.”
To be honest with you, you seem to be the person insisting you know everything for sure. You have all the facts. You have the right to tell others what drugs they should prescribe. You have the right to tell Facebook what they should allow -- or even be forced to have on their site. You seem to have a strong authoritarian streak yourself, so why complain about Dr. Fauci? Are you envious of people with positions that grant them respectability? Is that what this is about? Well, if you want to think you're an expert and know it all, I can't stop you. I just find it a bit far out there.
Calm down... Ur trying to read between the lines and forming conclusions on all kinds of other things...
All im basically saying is that i disagree with censorship in science.
