Malaria Drugs - War On Terror Vs. War On COVID-19

Here is a revealing comparison:

1. Using malaria drugs on 'detainees' at GTMO:

The rules governing medicine for detainees at Guantanamo are strict and specific: Minor aches get no more than 650 mg of Tylenol every six hours, sore throats get no more than one lozenge every four hours, itchy scalps mandate anti-dandruff shampoo for 15 minutes no more than twice a week.

And every detainee, regardless of their medical history, receives a heavy dose of mefloquine, an anti-malarial drug known to cause depression, paranoia and hallucinations - even if they’ve never shown any signs of carrying the disease.

Medical experts say the Defense Department policy of giving detainees large doses of mefloquine is poor medical practice at best and torture at worst. A report from Seton Hall University researchers last month said such a decision “is not medically justified” in light of the medications’ side effects, labeling the practice “gross malpractice or deliberate misuse of the drug.”

Researchers note that mefloquine has been used in the past by the CIA for “enhanced interrogation techniques” and “experimentation in behavioral modification,” suggesting that the medication may be another in a line of controversial practices at the naval base.

2. Using malaria drugs on COVID-19 patients:

Chloroquine is a drug traditionally used in the treatment of malaria, which is why it is considered an essential drug and of necessary availability by the World Health Organization. Similar in structure, hydroxychloroquine is a drug commonly used in the treatment of chloroquine-sensitive malaria cases, as well as in cases of rheumatoid arthritis and lupus. Both drugs have only recently started to be tested in the treatment of COVID-19, as part of several applied scientific research programs aimed at tackling the global pandemic. To date, only a few studies with chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine have been carried out, and research has been effective mainly in France and China, most of them inconclusive.

Somehow, it's OK to misuse such drugs on 'detainees' (a.k.a. prisoners of war), but NOT ok to use them to alleviate the suffering and/or prevent the death of US citizens.

It's quite possible the CIA played a role in the misadministration of all these drugs. Do you see a problem here? I sure do. The CIA can NEVER be trusted with the safety and security of the USA.

They have their own agenda, and it has NOTHING to do with promoting our safety and security.
