When Donald Trump boosted an old anti-malaria drug on Thursday as a potential therapy for COVID-19, falsely suggesting the FDA had approved it for use, he spurred a global rush for the drug that’s having serious knock-on effects.
Unexpected?
Uh…no.
Who could have guessed that allowing the Russians to install a demented racist fuckstick as President would go so wrong?
The draining of the shallow end of the gene pool continues.
On the bright side, the more the Morans listen to Trump, the more his voting pool goes down as well.
Wouldn’t be at all surprised to learn that Disaster Donnie has a financial interest in the drugs he’s humping…
Hump & Dump Trump…
David Fahrenholdt, please contact your sources. God willing, they will have hard evidence of Trump cronies buying stock in Novartis and Bayer, who make these drugs. It’s gotta be happening.
There were tons of articles in 2012 about how lots of the GOP heavy hitters (Ben Carson and Huckabee are two I remember) were grifting seniors by selling medical supplements that were bullshit and made the sellers rich. The “miracle cure” pitch is easy for them, and it has a huge ready audience.
It sounds like nonsense to us, but it’s a genre of medical solution a lot of Americans not only accept but buy and prefer.
Anything beats changing their behavior (quit smoking, excercise, practice social distancing).
I’ll get to trying the chloroquine phosphate cure as soon as I’m done retrofitting this mason jar hydrogen generator to my car for unlimited fuel economy.
Just try and get Perpetual Motion Machine parts during a pandemic.
I’m tryin, I’m tryin!
I got some of the last ones my supplier said he had. That’s why they were so expensive.
I can’t even get Amazon to send me an oil filter for a 2015 Sienna
When Covidiot Trump plays doctor…People DIE!
That’s CRIMINAL NEGLIGENCE!
Someone STOP him from opening his story-telling-a-lying mouth and get the phone away from him!
Every time I hear Donnie pitching his latest Miracle Salve, it always takes me back to this Andy Griffith classic…
Would that be a burnt Sienna?
It will be without a filter.
Any physician who prescribes these medicines based on Trump’s statements should have their license pulled. Anyone who takes these, however they get them, before they are tested for that use is an idiot, which means that Trump’s supporters are going to be hounding their doctors for the stuff.
Always happy to play your straight man…
