NYC Democrat Councilman: ‘Hydroxychloroquine Saved My Life’

Democratic city councilman in New York City, says hydroxychloroquine saved his life when he was ravaged by coronavirus earlier this year.

“I couldn’t breathe, very weak, couldn’t get out of bed,” Paul Vallone, who represents the city’s 19th Council District, told the New York Post. ”My doctor prescribed it. My pharmacy had it. Took it that day and within two to three days I was able to breathe.”

The drug acted quickly to save him, Vallone (photo, above) told the Post. “Within a week I was back on my feet.”

Pallone took the medicine in concert with a Z-pack of the antibiotic Azythromyicin, which is used to treat bacterial pneumonia and bronchitis.

In April, Vallone wrote on Twitter that he was having mild, manageable symptoms, and was “on the road to recovery.”

In truth, his illness worsened to the point of threatening his life, he told the Post. His condition was complicated, he said, by a longstanding case of sarcoidosis, an auto-immune disease that attacks his lungs.

“We were in panic mode when I went down because I didn’t have a lot of immune response,” Vallone said. “I needed something to stay alive.”

His doctors prescribed hydroxychloroquine. Only then did he begin to recover.

A malaria medication that has been used since 1955, hydroxychloroquine resurfaced to controversy this year, when it was touted as a possible cure for COVID-19. President Trump was chastised by critics when he said that he has taken the drug, himself, to fend off the virus.

The Vallone family is not among the drug’s critics.

“I guess all those doctors who are prescribing it are right,” Vallone’s brother Peter, a civil court judge in Queens, reportedly wrote on Facebook. “This drug is already on the market and the patent is up so it’s cheap. A new drug won’t be. So big money does not want this drug to be used. Always follow the money.”

Paul Vallone responded in the comments: ““[It] saved my life.”

In June, the Food and Drug Administration warned against hydroxychloroquine outside of a clinical setting, saying that it could cause heart rhythm problems.

      Hi Matt H,
      When it comes to survival philosophy is abandoned.
      I expect (and hope) when this scamdemic and the New Green Steal are exposed the Dumbocrat Party will cease to exist. I just hope a party of independents, that have allegiance to the people and the country instead of themselves, is established so we aren’t stuck with the Republicans who aren’t much different.

    They do see the light when they’re on their death-bed and a cure is in Trump’s hands.

    As a 68 year old healthy person I am on one 200mg Plaquenil tablet twice a week ( very low dose) and a daily Zinc supplement (Vit C+Zn) which together act as a prophylactic. I strongly recommend this to all 60+ people in whatever state of health these may be. It ispractivally guaranteed to protect you while the immune system builds a natural ‘vaccine’ inside you and which in turn will protect you from a return of the same virus for the rest of your life.

    I wonder if he will be voting for Trump come November? Probably not.
