Some of us have reasons why taking hcq could be bad. You deflected with 'people are just doing it to be mean to trump, look if he said take vitamin d...' which, of course, he didnt. Which was where the side effects thing came up as I thought it's ridiculous comparing an otc vitamin to a prescription drug.
I'm not missing anything.
The only thing you're missing is the point.
I used Vitamin D to illustrate how some folk's react to Trump suggesting folks perhaps try something, not to compare HCQ to Vitamin D. So perhaps now you see the true ridiculous aspect. I do appreciate you acknowledging the only way to get HCQ is having a healthcare provider prescribe it.
What percentage of drugs (OTC or otherwise) do you think have 0 side effects? Hell, I showed you the side effects of vitamin D. But suddenly, good-hearted Americans are worried about possible side effects. Ask yourself why and then you will begin to "not miss anything"
I have no plans to take the drug and I really doubt many do; simply because a government official with 0 medical experience says he's heard good things and he takes it. IF someone is curious they can talk to thier healthcare provider about the benefits versus risks. The provider would most likely tell the person to log into Bengals Message Board PnR forum for all the facts.
