The Association of American Physicians and Surgeons suggests a different approach than what you hear from the government.

In a statement released Monday, AAPS had strong words for governors of states with a surge in positive tests like Arizona, Texas, and California where governors have reinstituted lockdowns and mandated mask-wearing. 

“These measures will destroy livelihoods, but there is little evidence that they will save lives,” the group said. 

A better strategy, AAPS says, would be an offensive approach that protects demographics most at risk of exposure and infection, such as medical workers and others on the front-lines, by administering hydroxychloroquine. The statement likens the current situation to that of the HIV/AIDS epidemic of the 1980s. Despite decades of effort, there is no vaccine, but those who had been exposed or might have been exposed to the disease would receive drugs to treat them.  

As the statement points out, a host of peer-reviewed evidence and international studies have shown that the anti-malaria drug hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) is being used safely and effectively to prevent COVID-19 in exposed workers. Findings include a significant decline in the risk of coronavirus infection, no significant side-affects from the drug, and five-times fewer deaths. Even a study by Michigan’s own Henry Ford Health System found that 13 percent of those treated with HCQ alone died compared to 26.4 percent not treated with HCQ.  A 50% reduction in deaths for those of you that suffer from TDS.

Cue RHH to tell us AAPS is a bunch of hacks and 99% of "experts" agree with TDS sufferers that Orange Man Bad and HCQ will kill ya and doesn't work because they are anti-science.
