| Dr Risch's Op Ed on HCQ and Covid19: The Key to Defeating COVID-19 Already Exists. We Need to Start Using It |
| 2020-07-27 |
| [Newsweek] As professor of epidemiology at Yale School of Public Health, I have authored over 300 peer-reviewed publications and currently hold senior positions on the editorial boards of several leading journals. I am usually accustomed to advocating for positions within the mainstream of medicine, so have been flummoxed to find that, in the midst of a crisis, I am fighting for a treatment that the data fully support but which, for reasons having nothing to do with a correct understanding of the science, has been pushed to the sidelines. As a result, tens of thousands of patients with COVID-19 are dying unnecessarily. Fortunately, the situation can be reversed easily and quickly. I am referring, of course, to the medication hydroxychloroquine... How hard can it be to have someone in the Trump Admin ask Fauci and Birx about this.

| #2 indiscriminate use is a problem with many drugs e.g., Tylenol which, when overdosed will destroy your liver or aspirin which when overdosed will cause vomiting and a coma and dehydration, iron when overdosed will cause vomiting and diarrhea and dehydration, beta blockers when overdosed depress your blood pressure to dangerous levels |

| #1 Experts Explain: The case for using hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) to treat Covid-19 Adding fuel to the fire, indiscriminate use without due precautions, over-dosing, and prolonged usage resulted in many adverse side effects described in the books, even deaths. So the pendulum swung away from its use in many countries. |
