IN JULY Huff Post exposed a fringe group of ‘quack’ medics calling themselves America’s Frontline Doctors. They held a press conference featuring Texas Pentecostal preacher Stella Immanuel, above, who thinks she’s ‘God’s battleaxe’, that women can be impregnated by ‘demon sperm’ – and that ‘We don’t need masks. There is a cure!’

Despite this, and many other reports that expose Frontline Doctors as charlatans, Steve Jalsevac, co-founder and Managing Director of LifeSiteNews is demanding to know why Trump wasn’t immediately put on the drug that Frontline Doctors were touting: Hydroxychloroquine.

He goes as far as to say that Trump may never have been infected had he been taking the malaria drug.

I find it alarming that Trump is not being treated with the protocols that numerous physicians have been successfully using for their COVID-infected patients. What on Earth is going on?

He should have immediately been put on the hydroxychloroquine protocol that the Frontline Doctors … all insist … is amazingly effective in correct, early use treatment of COVID-infected patients.

It is reckless that this is not being done because there is no risk to giving it to Trump even if the medical bureaucrats still ridiculously refuse to believe that Hydroxychloroquine is effective. I mean, how many thousands more lives have to be saved and how many thousands more people have to personally testify that they would not still be alive but for the courageous, caring doctors who went out on a limb and gave then this drug, before these stubborn bureaucrats finally get out of the way of real medicine?

He added:

The fact that HCQ was suddenly suppressed in the US, Canada and many European nations since near the beginning of the pandemic, after several decades of no suppression, is criminal.   Some people should be charged and jailed for what they have done on this and a number of physicians have called for just that action. There are already some ongoing criminal actions and lawsuits related to this unjust, very harmful suppression.

That suppression has has cost possibly hundreds of thousands of lives, and I don’t want to see its suppression also cost the life of the {resident of the United States or his wonderful wife.

Every hour and day that giving this treatment for Trump is delayed makes it more likely that HCQ will not be able to help him. It has to be given early in the infection.

Trump should never have had to go to Walter Reed Hospital. He should also have continued to take the prophylactic dose of HCQ that he was on for about a month some time ago and for which he was severely criticized by Democrats, the media and others who simply despise everything that he does. He is an obvious candidate for the daily prophylactic dose given his age, heavy weight and the many large events he attends and many people he is always meeting.

It appears that someone got to the President and convinced him to discontinue taking the Hydroxychloroquine. That really worried me. It is highly likely he would not have received a positive test if he had continued the low, very safe preventative dose along with a daily capsule of zinc, vitamin D and a few capsules during every day of vitamin C.

It is criminal that neither of these well-proven-in-practice medications are being heavily promoted and that all restrictions or bureaucratic discouragements against them have not been removed.

Dr Simone Gold, above, the founder of the Frontline Doctors group, has said there has been ‘shocking, deep corruption and deception that has resulted in desperately needed, life-saving COVID infection treatments being suppressed since the pandemic began.’ She, along with other doctors, has called this a ‘criminal massive disinformation campaign’ against the life-saving ability of hydroxychloroquine to cure the Chinese coronavirus.

Huff Post said that the group:

Sprang from nowhere only days ago and appears connected to groups involved in the Save Our Country Coalition, which was a driving force behind the ‘reopen’ protests in April that lobbied for America’s rapid reopening, even as death tolls spike in hot spots across the country.

It was later revealed that none of the most vocal members of the group have practices that would place them on the actual front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic. Some don’t currently practice at all*.*

Writing for Medpage Today, at the end of July Ryan Basen provided brief bios of the docs involved in the Washington charade. For example Simone Gold – “a doctor, lawyer, writer, mom” – has been a frequent contributor to conservative media, including Fox News, where she advocates for HCQ as a treatment for COVID-19 and fast economic reopening.

Her California medical license includes her unverified claim that she is involved in patient care 30-39 hours per week and indicates a practice location in Hesperia, a bedroom community of about 100,000 at the edge of the Mojave Desert. Efforts to determine where specifically she may practice were unsuccessful.

Gold was sacked from her job at Providence Hospital in Burbank after the press conference. She claimed she was fired because of “media slander.”

Said Jalsevac:

Contact the White House to ask why the President and Melania are not immediately being given this well-proven-in-practice medication protocol for COVID infection.
