President Donald Trump announced on television that his new miracle drug, hydroxychloroquine, is saving people’s lives. “What do you have to lose?” Trump asked Sunday. It’s possible to lose several things.

CNN fact-checker Daniel Dale explained that the Food and Drug Administration had not approved hydroxychloroquine for use on coronavirus. It has only been approved to treat various other issues like rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and malaria.

Dr. Megan Ranney explained that as an emergency room doctor and research scientist herself, she wouldn’t use this drug to treat coronavirus unless it’s proven to be effective.
“This drug has major side effects,” she explained, “including paranoia, hallucinations, suicidal thoughts, suppression of your blood counts, so you became more susceptible to infections, it can cause severe cardiac arrhythmias that can even cause death.
 
It's truly hard to believe that Trump is so arrogant, to think that he knows more than the real doctors, apparently, ruthless sociopath Trump is desperate and willing to do what ever it takes, at what ever cost in human lives to get re-elected.
 
Nearly every drug has side effects. That's why we have these things called "prescriptions", which are issued by doctors who review the patients susceptibility for those effects and assess the risks on a case-by-case basis, then monitor the patient.

Instead we have the Left cheer-leading for federal GovCo bureaucrats to take away that option. Talk about arrogance...

DEATH, isn't one of your normal side effects.

It is totally unproven and untested. Why in the fucking world is this President playing doctor and pretending he knows the answers?

It’s probably an idea Jared planted in his head and it got stuck in one of the holes, like build the wall, in the sieve of his mind.

And guess what? Now there's a shortage. Patients who have Lupus who take it on a routine basis to keep the disease at bay are unable to get it due to clinics and patients taking it in order to maybe treat COVID.

That's exactly the opposite what Trump has done. Why are you spreading lies during a pandemic?

So you're claiming that Plaquenil has been tested in double blind studies and proven to be an effective anti-COVID drug? I'm sure you'll be happy to share links to those studies, eh?

#COVID45 needs to shut his fat yap about anything to do with disease/medicine and stick to what he knows best -- golf.

Oh there you go, cheer-leading for a mass of bureaucratic paperwork to prevent doctors from making decisions for their patients that may save their lives.

He has no business touting the effects of a totally unproven and untested drug. Maybe he should spend his time providing the 27 million test kits he promised a full month ago.

Again, how is that "playing doctor" as you prescribed earlier?

Now you're claiming Trump is a test kit manufacturer?

Your article is two weeks old. It's very easy for the manufacturers to ramp up production.

Toilet paper is in short supply as well. Are you blaming Trump for that too?

From the linked article, above. How do you feel about the govt. controlling access to required medications?

"Several manufacturers have pledged to donate tens of millions of doses of hydroxychloroquine, or Plaquenil, the brand version, or chloroquine. The pharmaceutical manufacturer Novartis Sandoz has increased its donation pledge from 20 million doses to as many as 130 million doses, which includes both its current stock and supply expected from increased production through May. Access to the donated supply is controlled by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). “Any requests from new customers go to HHS,” says Linda Krystek, from Novartis customer operations department. She says the company is referring to HHS the many requests it is receiving from health organizations, hospitals and doctor offices.

"Michelle Petri, MD, a rheumatologist at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, in Baltimore, says she would never want her patients to stop a disease-modifying drug or reduce frequency or doses to conserve pills. “Systemic lupus erythematosus patients cannot ‘ration’ their drug, as that would lead to subtherapeutic hydroxychloroquine blood levels and loss of efficacy,” she says.

“It should not be forgotten that SLE is the fifth or sixth leading cause of death in African-American and Hispanic-American young women. Hydroxychloroquine is the only SLE treatment shown in multiple studies to improve survival in SLE.” "

As for the TP comment, I am waiting for #COVID45 to start tossing rolls out into the audience during one of his MeSoPerfect pressers.

Translation from Moronese into English: I don't have no stinking links. Just like when my glorious Mango Messiah spouts, you must listen and agree with my words!
