Up until January 2020 HCQ was one of the very few medications available over the counter without prescription in France. After that, not only was it prescription only, but doctors were instructed that it was not to be prescribed for C19, but if prescriptions were written, pharmacies were threatened if they filled the prescription. There was then a major supply problem caused by a fire at a HCQ factory. Just a few of the draconian measures taken to ensure no effective treatments were available.

It's worse than that. On October 8, the French Health Minister began the paperwork to take it off the shelf as OTC in pharmacies.

She is married to the CEO of INSERN, which helped build and open the Wuhan Institute of Virology. If anybody knew ahead of schedule, they did.

"It's worse than that. On October 8, the French Health Minister began the paperwork to take it off the shelf as OTC in pharmacies. ..."

^Proves^ (1) they knew the bioweapon was coming soon, or was already spreading. Also ^proves^ (2) that they KNEW that HCQ was effective against the bioweapon. And ^proves^ that (3) a key component of their evil plans was to make certain that people could not save their own lives and the lives of their loved ones with a cheap, old drug like HCQ which was O-T-C in France before Oct. 2019. Anyone could just walk into a French pharmacy and buy some w/o an Rx. They are evil bastards. And, yes, it really is that simple.

The evils needed lots of deaths to stoke the fear of dying ... so they banned what would have saved hundreds of thousands of lives and would have kept hundreds of thousands of others from ever being admitted to hospitals. A sickening way these criminals chose to make people so desperate that they willingly took the experimental shots, later shown to be harmful and deadly to many who trusted too much.

"... EUAs could not have been lawfully issued ..." if there were effective treatments available.

Therefore, the EUAs for the mRNA jabs should NEVER have been issued, since we already had an effective treatment in HCQ. And the mass murderers in charge full well KNEW it!

They cared not. So they used the legal technicality, which you cited, to allow the murders of hundreds of thousands in the USA alone. (Not that a distinction between legal and illegal ever stops them when they really want to do something illegal ... like start another war ... or steal billions through the banking system ... or launder billions and billions in US aid to Ukraine so it can be conveniently funneled back to favored US politicians and their campaign coffers.)

But they didn't want fewer deaths, they wanted MORE DEATHS, more fear. If HCQ had been distributed at the start, we never would have suffered through such a devastating 3 years.

In contrast to the devastation in the USA and most of the West, consider Uttar Pradesh province in India: little packets containing IVM, doxycycline and zinc (cost $3 USD per packet) were distributed to the people there, and the death rate fell to next to nothing.

Where i am in the USA, we pride ourselves on having health care superior to the rest of the world -- which is such a misconception as far as the bioweapon is concerned. The US "healthcare system" was transformed into killling fields. US hospitals became death factories.

Poorer places like Bangladesh and Uttar Pradesh had MUCH greater success than the US, fewer deaths than the U.S., and these poor people accomplished this feat with $3 per person packets of old repurposed generic drugs like HCQ & IVM !!!!!

Also during the pandemic, Michigan Gov Whitmer banned the filling of prescriptions of HCQ for C19. It was also used for rheumatoid arthritis.

In Nevada, the governor also used taxpayer money to buy all HCQ he could so no one else could get any. This supply is presumed lost or destroyed.

In Australia, it was available prescription only, but was really easy to get as a prophylactic for travel to malaria-infested countries - until March 2020, just after the research of Professor Raoult Didier in France using HCQ for CV-19 caught the eye of President Trump... and the rest is history. Our TGA (Therapeutic Goods Administration) immediately restricted its use, prescription only by a handful of medical specialities for lupus, RA, etc.

On pain of disciplinary action.

what i have found when something like "page not available" happens....

and i am positive the site is up and running and the page is there:

i clear the cookies, active logins, cache, site settings, and offline website data.

reboot my modem and computer.

that usually corrects the problem...

did i have to do all of those things.... probably not but i have a tendency to go overboard because i don't want to try and figure out which one is the cause.

Chloroquine is not water soluble like hydroxychloroquine, so there is greater toxicity risk.

Chloroquine is mostly prescribed as the Phosphate salt that is "Freely Soluble" in water.

Yet CQ has around 60% of the LD50 as HCQ, so the difference is real. The chemical breakdown differs, right?

It should be noted that, legally, the FDA will not approve a new drug unless it works better than an older drug. This is why 40 year old Ivermectin and 70 year old Hydroxychloroquine were disparaged by the corporate health system and media.

In 2013 Harvard's Safra Center found that 90% of new drugs are only about 1% more effective than the old drugs, but with a raft of new side effects. Their saving grace is the boost to Pharma profits.

Since a new drug only needs a 1% greater benefit, even plain dirt will qualify once Pharma goes to work on the statistics, experimental design, cohort selection, length of study, endpoints, dosage levels and data. There is also a safety consideration; it must not kill you immediately, although it may safely do so down the line.

An MD once told me that she would not prescribe anything that was not at least 5 years old, as bad drugs are likely to get pulled before they reach the five-year mark.

Tried to get HCQ filled at CVS today (for anti-malarial application) and was told it wasn't on their formulary.

What losers. I suggest finding a family-owned compounding pharmacy,

Expand full comment

Thank you, I have, and it's inexpensive out of pocket. I just thought it was absurd that it's not on their formulary. They will consider a pre-authorization request from my physician. 😐

Expand full comment

They should be boycotted for that. If you have a hard copy script, take it to a different pharmacy. If you can't find one to fill it domestically, it can be ordered from a foreign pharmacy. I've twice ordered it OTC from an Indian pharmacy. Search for one on the web.

I think CVS and the other major Pharmacies involved with the Covid shots were no longer allowed to sell HCQ or IVM to thwart sales for any reason. Here in CT, I had to find a small family pharmacy to fill my scripts for both when I got Covid.

I loved reading this post, it feels familiar but I can't be sure. Nevertheless, I know I would read it differently now. A beautiful explanation, and moving reflection of a time in history, and science when authenticity and altuism existed in anticipation of a shared and healthy future for all of humanity. Thank you for all that you do to ensure these values and 'trees of poetry' are retained in the search for truth and answers within the current quagmire of 'history' and 'science'.

I wish I coukd use HCQ etc...but 2 regimines of chloroquine based antibiotics ,given years apart, have left me with brittle tendons.

One saved me from a virulent E.Coli food poisoning episode, the other from spinal meningitis.

I dont dare even drink tonic water now...but I am grateful for what the two black-box meds did for me.

I had spinal meningitis when I was two. In a coma for two weeks. Have no idea how they treated it. I’m 73 so it was a long time ago!! I’ve never met anyone else who had it, so was surprised to read your post. It’s not a common disease. At two years old, I had to learn how to walk and talk all over again. All I remember is it left me with a huge fear of needles. 😊

Expand full comment

Wow...its amazing what the mind will retain! From age 2,your mind reminds you that really painful things that you didn't understand happened to you...with needles. Doggone :/

The very weird part of this was my brother died of spinal meningitis at 28. He was so stoic my parents didn't know until they found him unconscious, and found that he had taken most of a bottle of advil in the prior 3-4 days trying to rid himself of the headache. He never regained consciousness,and I had to give the order tonunplug him from lufe support . When I came down with it after my brain surgery,my mom became convinced she'd given us " faulty genes" . It was stressful.

Expand full comment

Oh my what a horribly sad tragedy about your brother. Your poor mother living with guilt that had nothing to do with it. I’m assuming somehow during your surgery, you were exposed. How terrible to go through brain surgery then meningitis. As far as my experience, my dad found me unconscious on a Saturday morning; my mom said it was the only time she ever saw him cry. My mom said they almost ran out of places/veins to stick me, so yes my brain remembers even though I don’t. Thank the Lord you and I both survived. Thanks for sharing your story, as it reminds us how fragile life can be.

Sad to hear that. I would be interested to learn of any natural synthetic pathways using compounds with Chlorine attached to aliphatic or aromatic Carbon occurring in Humans. On the other hand organo-Iodine compounds are essential. Long time since I trained in Biochemistry.
