Fox News reports,
“A Democratic Michigan state lawmaker has credited President Trump's publicizing of the anti-malarial drug hydroxychloroquine with saving her life after her health "plummeted" when she contracted coronavirus.
State Rep. Karen Whitsett of Detroit told "The Ingraham Angle" on Monday that if it wasn't for Trump pushing the drug through the Food and Drug Administration's approval process for off-label use and touting it repeatedly during his daily press briefings, she may not have made it through the terrible contagion....
When Whitsett did make it to the hospital, she found out about a state order prohibiting the use of hydroxychloroquine. The Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs, under Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, had issued the order, only for the governor to retract it several days later.
‘I did have a difficult time, even that day, obtaining the medication because of an order that was put down in my state,’ said Whitsett. ‘And it was on that day so you can imagine how terrified I was that I had to beg and plead and go through a whole
lot to try to get the medication.’ …..
‘If President Trump had not talked about this it wouldn't have been something that would be accessible for anyone to be able to get right now,’ she said, adding that within a few hours of taking her prescription, she was feeling much better.”

A malarial drug, hydroxychloroquine, is being used to treat COVID-19 worldwide with phenomenal success. Yet in America, it has been banned by governors and its effectiveness denied by Dr. Anthony Fauci and Big Pharma.
Dr. Vladmir Zelenko, in an exclusive interview with former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, discussed his 100 percent success with a cocktail of drugs to treat COVID-19 patients in New York. The drugs were hydroxychloroquine, azithromycin (Z-Pak - an antibiotic to treat secondary infections), and zinc sulfate. Out of 699 patients treated, none have died or been intubated (put on a ventilator) and only four were hospitalized. The shortness of breath was resolved within four to six hours after treatment. The cost? $20 over a period of 5 days with 100% success.
Months ago the high esteemed Dr. Didier Raoult, who is one of the world’s top five scientists on communicable diseases, conducted a study using hydroxychloroquine because of its success with previous coronaviruses such as SARS. The success of Raoult’s study was ignored by French health officials. However, in October 2019 the French minister quietly moved the low cost over the counter drug to the list of “controlled substances” which requires a prescription and is considerably more in cost.
With President Trump’s fast tracking the clinical testing of hydroxychloroquine, patients have already benefited. Symptomatic patients have tested negative within an average of 5-6 days. There should have been great joy throughout the land over this, yet Democrats, the media, and those who hate Trump have weaponized the drug.
Deep State director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Dr. Anthony Fauci stated, “There are no proven safe and effective therapies for the coronavirus.” Ignoring the highly successful controlled study in France by Dr. Raoult, Fauci claimed, “We’re getting stories from people who have tried them, but they’ve tried them in trials that are not controlled.”
What’s even more telling about Fauci’s political agenda is his discouraging people from going to their doctors and requesting chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine – a less toxic form of chloroquine.
