    So when are we going to see whether it works or not?

    early evidence will be considered anecdotal I assume. Just throwing a dart I'll say 12 days.

    Again? :roflol:

    That would imply that Trump has been "right" previously.

    Which ISN'T the case.

    So you think trump had some kind of supernatural insight? Is he an expert? Or did he have a 50/50 chance of being right no matter what he said?

    Are you capable of providing an honest answer?

    And it is still in trials. We don't know if it works.

    Not according to the FDA:

    "Based on the totality of scientific evidence available to FDA, it is reasonable to believe that chloroquine phosphate and hydroxychloroquine sulfate may be effective in treating COVID-19, and that, when used under the conditions described in this authorization, the known and potential benefits of chloroquine phosphate and hydroxychloroquine sulfate when used to treat COVID-19 outweigh the known and potential risks of such products"

    Yes we do. From what I've seen from the left, it could save 100,000 lives and y'all would still find fault and claim it was just a coincidence.

    ROFL, right, it was just a lucky guess :roll: Was that after he threw a dart and hit "hydroxychloroquine"?

    I'm glad we've got such a lucky guy for President! ;)

    The left seems to hint at the medication like Trump invented it. Not sure why else they seem so against it. Not only here, but other social media groups, there is a clear group that is arguing against it's use and it's always the left. Some are even ANGRY about it being used. How does anyone comprehend why people are against a medicine that is showing very promising results for a global pandemic? The Trump hate goes deeper than any of us ever imagined.
