Rep. Louie Gohmert Wrecks the Left’s Narrative Against Hydroxychloroquine, Credits the Drug For His COVID Recovery

Well, well, well… how the turn tables (hopefully someone understands The Office reference).

Republican Representative of Texas, Louie Gohmert, says he is feeling really great after recovering from the coronavirus and fully credits his treatment in receiving hydroxychloroquine. Furthermore, he plans to donate plasma very soon.

Right before Gohmert was going to partake in a trip with President Trump, he tested positive for COVID at the White House on July 29th. He stated that his symptoms included fatigue and were mild overall. He shared that he experienced a couple of bad days and that’s when he began treatment.

The Washington Examiner reported:

He tested negative for the virus and positive for the coronavirus antibodies this week. Gohmert said that he will donate plasma “as often as I am allowed” to help others recover from the virus.

Gohmert, who turns 67 next week, told the Washington Examiner he believes his recovery was aided by the use of vitamin supplements and hydroxychloroquine, the drug touted by Trump and some medical doctors that is not endorsed by the Food and Drug Administration for use in treating the coronavirus.

“I had a couple of bad days, but I started taking hydroxychloroquine, [Zithromax], and zinc, along with vitamins D3 and C,” he said. “And I took a steroid nebulizer for a few days to help coat the alveoli in the lungs and protect them somewhat from the COVID virus attack.”

He added, “I feel sorry for patients whose doctors are not even allowed to consider the hydroxychloroquine regimen. That’s a real shame.”

Gohmert said he has been cleared by the Capitol’s attending physician to return to work and will vote in person if Congress reconvenes this summer to take up a now-stalled coronavirus aid package.

Gohmert currently questions the preventative nature of wearing face coverings but will continue to wear a mask anywhere that requires it.
