Surgeon General Shuts Down 'Dumb Fux & Friends' for Hyping Unproven Coronavirus Cure

U.S. Surgeon General Jerome Adams pushed back on the hosts of Dumb Fux & Friends on Monday morning after the trio hyped up an anti-malaria drug as a potential treatment for coronavirus.

Social distancing, the top doc said, is still currently the best way to stem the spread of the virus.

In recent days, President Donald Trump has embraced chloroquine and its derivative hydroxychloroquine as a “game changer” after a small clinical trial in France showed promise of the drugs’ effectiveness in treating the viral infection. While Trump has hyped the medications as potential cures, the nation’s top infectious disease expert has expressed hesitancy, noting that the findings are merely anecdotal and that more studies and trials are needed.

During Monday’s broadcast of the president’s favorite morning show, however, celebrity doctor Dr. Oz excitedly shared with the Fox News audience that he had spoken with French doctor behind the trial that’s thrilled Trump and he agrees that it is indeed a “game changer.”

When did they start agreeing with the French? I thought they were considered a bunch of surrender monkeys as far as righties were concerned.

those scumbags on Faux and Fuckers sitting there talking about medications,

What a weird-ass time to live in.
