    You're in the group that says, take 200 people. Offer a potential cure to a life-threatening disease to 100 of them. Let the other 100 die. Got it.

    As long as it hurts Trump's re-election possibilities, what's a few thousand, maybe a few hundred thousand, lives among friends?

    Plus, anyone who has ever been to see a doctor for some aliment, your doctor will talk with you and then suggest you try a medication. He'll explain how some patients find relief or show results, and some don't.

    He'll ask that you take the medication for a prescribed number of doses, and then call him in so many days. He'll also caution you about possible side affects that some patients had noticed, and to call him immediately if you experience one or two particular side affects.

    The same advise would be given to patients taking hydroxychloroquine. Our doctors are not just going to hand us a six month supply of the drug and send us home.

    There has been so much hypocrisy here to try and weaponize an unfortunate situation. It is appalling to look back at then Trump banned travel fro China and watch the left media call him a xenophobe and then now saying he didn't do enough.

    What's sad is that double think and double talk is so ingrained in so very many of them that at this point it's quite likely that most of them don't even realize that they are doing it. In other words it's now ingrained and pathological.

    Any leftist that mocked Trump for using hydroxychloroquine to treat Corona Virus should be denied the medication in the future if they get sick.

    3 words from an anonymous poster in a mostly anonymous discussion forum = peer reviewed clinical tests proving it's just propaganda for the ignorant.

    None of those things are true but I'm glad the lies make you feel secure.

    If does show how little you understand.

    Trump used hydroxychloroquine to treat patients? That is a crime.

    The problem is trump pushing the use of a drug instead of leaving it up to medical experts. That is called a quack. He is in no position to be giving medical advice.

    Haves you heard of a quack?

    Trump is a quack. He is a definitive example. So now you know.

    He's not just a quack, he's also a racketeer playing with people's lives:

    President Donald Trump reportedly owns a stake in a company that produces hydroxychloroquine, the anti-malaria drug he has repeatedly touted as a coronavirus treatment even though his experts say there’s no strong evidence it works.

    Trump “has a small personal financial interest” in Sanofi, the French drugmaker that makes Plaquenil, the brand-name version of hydroxychloroquine, The New York Times reported Monday.

    skipping ...

    Generic drugmakers also are gearing up to produce hydroxychloroquine pills. One of those companies was co-founded by Trump golfing buddy Chirag Patel, according to the Times.

    You and the CCP claim it is peer reviewed clinical tests, yet you provide no proof to back up your Chicom propaganda.

    Intelligent people know how HCQ works against coronaviruses. We've known for over a decade.

    Or alternatively offer 100 people a drug that has already shown to be ****ing useless against viral infections, put them at further risk because we are only now finding out that a proportion of these patients with covid have heart failure from the virus and do more harm than good because some TWONK thought he knew more than the experts

    Gotcha

    Are you MORE worried that Trump might have fewer people vote for him in November than the fact that an unproven treatment could kill people?

    And the same people posting these memes do not seem to know the difference between a blog post and a systematic review

    No I didn't, so much for your reading comprehension, I was being sarcastic about YOUR claim.

    Actually intelligent people know better than to take the word of an anonymous poster in a mostly anonymous discussion forum for anything, which goes back to the sarcastic post I wrote about YOU. You make claims but none are supported by anything, much less anything intelligent, just hot air. The burden of proof is on YOU.

    It must have slipped Trump's mind. Thanks for that info, no one has mentioned that before to my knowledge.

    I'm not asking you to take my word for it. I'm just calling you out for posting Chicom propaganda.

    Why are you posting Chinese crap?

    You can call facts that, if you want. It's your right to be in error. I support you. Which one is untrue, be specific.
