South Dakota Governor launches 1st statewide trial of hydroxychloroquine

South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem (R) announced plans to launch a statewide trial Monday to formally test the effectiveness of hydroxychloroquine. The drug is the anti-malaria drug used to treat viruses and auto-immune diseases.

South Dakota is the first state in the nation to implement a trial to test the drug’s effectiveness in treating and preventing COVID-19.

In order to collect data about the potential treatment, doctors in the state have been instructed to prescribe the drug, along with the antibiotic azithromycin, to willing COVID-19 patients who desire to be a part of the trial.

“From Day One, I’ve said we’re going to let the science, facts, and data drive our decision-making in South Dakota,” Noem said in a statement, according to Fox News.

She worked with the federal government in preparation and made direct requests for the supply of hydroxychloroquine.

“Today, I’m pleased to report we have received the initial doses we need,” she added.

The media doesn’t like the drug and acts like it’s dispensed by witch doctors since the president dared mention it as hopeful.

Now, South Dakota will attempt to scientifically settle that issue.

Now there is an elected official who actually cares about her state and its citizens. The HCQ drug cocktail has been proven to be effective wherever it is being tried. Folks are recovering from the kung flu and going on with their lives.
Now to get the rest of the red state governors to get off their butts and do as this rational thinking SD gov is doing. Let the blue state idiots do whatever the commies do…lie, cheat and steal. Oh yeah, and ignore the plight of their citizens.
Good going, Gov. Noem. Kudos.

Unfortunately that governor won’t be able to put anything to rest. There’s not enough people in the entire state to have any sort of conclusive test. She can provide some data, but the numbers are too low to prove a thing.

Absolutely excellent. I only mourn that NYC has not had the same level of leadership. And people are dying because of it.

Outstanding by a rising conservative in the GOP, thank God for her.

Be thankful for Red State. They will be a sanctuary when the CPUSA completes the Fundamental Transformation.
Common sense trumps feelz in such places and they don’t have 57 genders or thoughtcrime guillotines for the wrong pronoun.
