    Some people are saying the drug is effective, others disagree.

    Yesterday the CDC said Covid-19 couldn't be transmitted on hard surfaces. Today they changed their minds. Fauci has been on both sides of this as well as whether wearing masks prevent transmission.

    The guy is a dipshit.

    Like a Republican President trying to withhold military aid to get dirt on Biden? Hmmmm, I can imagine.

    The longer this catastrophe goes on the more I am reminded of the Monty Python Dead Parrot skit.

    I'll leave up to the individual to determine which character represents Trump.

    Does anyone still believe Fauci is credible?

    "Fauci doesn't want people to worry about coronavirus, the danger of which is "just ***minuscule***." But he does want them to take precautions against the "influenza outbreak, which is having its second wave.""

    Reminds me more of Schiff trying to sell impeachment and all of his other lies.

    Turns out Trump was right, Obama really was spying on him.

    I see that you admire Trump to the point of emulating him. Have you ever noticed the class actions lawsuits against pharm companies for damage caused by products deemed "safe and effective" by our beloved FDA?

    Of course it would. If the only tools in your shed are deflection and denial, the whole world looks like an Obama conspiracy.

    Hydroxychloroquine: Too cheap, too effective and politically inconvenient. ;-)

    "Hydroxychloroquine has been proposed as a treatment against the SARS-CoV-2 virus because it has antiviral properties that have been proven in lab settings, but not in people.

    It interferes with the virus' ability to enter the cells -- and also seems to block them from replicating once they are already inside.

    Zinc itself has antiviral properties and past research has suggested it may reduce the time people suffer from common colds.

    Rahimian said that it may be that when used to treat coronavirus patients, it is the zinc that does the heavy lifting and is the primary substance attacking the pathogen.

    Hydroxychloroquine, on the other hand, acts as an agent that transports the zinc into cells, increasing its efficacy, he suggested."

    So here is a little tidbit for you. Practicing medicine isn't 100% acute all the time. Drs do get it wrong. The CDC can't agree right now hard surfaces. You can have one MD saying x, and other saying y. Samething with experts in every field. With hydroxychlorqouine some people are saying it is effective against C-19, and there is evidence to support it to. Does that mean that fauci is wrong? no. Just means that what he is saying isn't 100% acute.

    Know it alls usually end up looking like know nothings. To be credible "experts" must admit their own ignorance.

    What's the ratio of those who actually care vs. those who just want a reason to REEE at Trump?

    Fauci is wrong or confused - a lot.

    "Short of that, Fauci says skip the masks unless you are contagious, don't worry about catching anything from Chinese products and certainly don't avoid Chinese people or restaurants. "Whenever you have the threat of a transmissible infection, there are varying degrees from understandable to outlandish extrapolations of fear," Fauci said."

    I encourage all Trump supporters to start taking this drug immediately if it is going to save you from Covid-19.

    I for one will listen to medical experts than a serial liar in Chief.
