Benjamin_Nevis Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 This man apparently is President of the USA. He’s not well. That's incredible. Pleasingly 99.99% of folk dumb enough to take it will probably be his voters. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiG Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Trump wasn't scheduled to attend the press conference last night but he did because "look at me!" This was the "highlight"... Trump continues to push hydroxychloroquine and rebuff criticism of this (presumably an attempt to distract from a lack of ventilators which are meant to be much more effective at combating the breathing difficulties). The President of the AMA has been quoted as saying do not take hydroxychloroquine as it could kill you. But you know, Trump gonna Trump. As long as Fox News pushes this drug he will do likewise. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That right there, in itself, is grounds for his removal from office. It’s borderline criminally negligent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiG Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 (edited) IIRC the study that showed that hydroxychloroquine could be beneficial was a small group of patients that only had mild symptoms of COVID-19 and they were very likely to recover. Further studies involving patients that exhibited more severe symptoms of the virus showed that the drug had little to no effect. It's mind boggling he is pushing this so much but given that he gets his intelligence from Fox News and they have been banging on about it I suppose it isn't much of a surprise really.

Fox gets its 'intelligence' (yikes) from the WH; it's just Pravda - Trump will have had the investment and then told them to give the stuff big licks so that he can then parrot it back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

American doctors who have prescribed it say they have no way of telling if patients got better because of the drug or if they would have got better on their own without it, because there have been no blind trials against placebos. And people who really need it for other conditions that it's been proven to help, can't get hold of it because Trump's got FEMA or whoever to buy up all the stock.

And if it does prove to work then how long until he tries to do a Martin Shkreli? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
