If Trump where to come out and say I'm taking Vitamin D because I've heard good things. There's no proof but what could it hurt...The reaction would be exactly the same.
"Great we're gonna run out of Vitamin D. Stupid POTUS!!"Of course I could be misrepresenting.
Folks that use Trump as their doctor have a lot more problems than HCQ.
On a positive note I heard a real DR talking on the radio yesterday and he said we are close to a blood test that can provide results in about 20 minutes. He absolutely hate the test (nose swap) we use now. He says this is possible because of lifting restrictions like he's never seen. He also said by the underrepresented advances that have been made in this research he expects (just his "gut") they will have a vaccine by JAN 21.
The dude seemed to have no political bias and he was on NFL Radio talking to PK and Jim Miller.
These are the things we should be talking about: The virus and good folks talking about working toward a fix; unfortunately, it's not the way we're built in here. Breech is trying.
Maybe it’s because he tells lie after lie after lie about it. Maybe it’s because he is promoting a drug without any credentials to do so despite the objections of those with actual medical credentials. Maybe it is because the FDA has stated don’t take it in an outpatient setting. Maybe it’s because the doctor he claimed gave it to him wrote a memorandum stating “we concluded” the risks outweigh any benefit multiple times. That’s doctor speak, “STFU with your stupid BS.” A provider shouldn’t write a prescription when the risk outweighs the benefits and there is a complete lack of evidence of efficacy just because a patient asks. And that memo doesn’t state he prescribed the hydroxychloroaquine so I’m not sure if Trump is taking it or this is just another one of his lies.
So I guess I have to concede your point; yeah, Trump. Because no other president has been this dishonest and stupid to push a drug that both he and his doctor concluded isn’t f’n appropriate and the FDA publicly and specifically said don’t do it.
