Hydroxychloroquine Advocates Are Pissed Trump’s Not Taking It For COVID | Talking Points Memo

President Donald Trump spent months earlier this year playing up the promise of the old anti-malaria drug hydroxychloroquine in the fight against COVID-19. And along the way, he convinced the right-wing media to go along with him, boosting the drug even though there was no real proof of its efficacy against the virus.

Hydroxychloroquine Advocates Are Pissed Trump’s Not Taking It For COVID

As are the manufacturers of UV-C lighting for endoscopy and colonoscopy sanitation techniques.

Suckers are born every minute. Apparently The Dotard just rubbed their noses in it.

If the Dumpsterfire doesn’t take his Hydroxychloroquine, does that mean he won’t get his kickback this month?

Imagine that…when it’s his ass on the line Trump follows the recommended medications from doctors and scientists. When it’s politics, he says whatever he thinks will give him an advantage, regardless of the consequences. You’d figure people would learn the lesson, that Trump only cares about a small number of people and they aren’t on the list, but I guess some people just need to be hit over the head with it until they are bloody.

We really need him out of office ASAP, all he’s doing is screwing up the nation and causing pain and suffering.

“You can fool some of the people all of the time.”

Unless you don’t take your hydroxychloroquine when prescribed.

With all the medical shows that have been on since Dr. Kildare, (OK why would you trust a doctor with kil in his name + dare?) that people don’t understand the difference between therapeutics and cures?
When hydroxychloroquine was first talked about I thought it was supposed to keep one from getting the disease, so why now when Trump has tested positive for the disease would he take something to prevent him from getting it in the first place? And didn’t he already say this summer that he was taking it? Why didn’t it work to prevent him from getting it? God this all makes my head hurt.

If there was a benefit the doctors at WR would have given it to him.

They know medicine better than a fucking reality show star.

Pretty sure seniors are finally realizing that Trump really doesn’t care if they live or die:

By the numbers… Among survey respondents 65-years-and-older, CNN found 60% of voters in favor of Biden and only 39% in favor of Trump. NBC found that seniors backed Biden 62-35 against Trump.

If someone had told Donald to wear a dead turkey around his neck…oh wait he already has a wattle, so never mind.

Well Duh!!!

Hydroxychloroquine not only is ineffective but dangerous, can damage the retinas. He is not taking that stuff anymore than he is paying taxes. That someone believed him and is either taking or prescribing the stuff is out of their own stupidity, Trump U Alumni stupidity. And about the millions of doses that the federal government purchased, that was all circus plus the great commissions and kickbacks Kushned received.

So they have to scale the fence and touch it? Seems unnecessary and dangerous.

But they will vote for him anyway because AOC is socialist and Bernie took a picture with Fidel.

Oh, I think he does care. His behavior over the last 9 or 10 months indicates that he’s very happy to see the herd thinned.

Haha suckers, when I get sick my eight doctors at Walter Reed only give me the stuff that actually works. Yes on polyclonal antibodies and remdesivir, no on quack remedies like hydroxychloroquine. Since you suckers don’t have access to my expert doctors, or in many cases even doctors at all, you can take hydroxy or Clorox or whatever it takes to get you back into the workforce.
