Woman in ICU: "Trump kept saying it was basically pretty much a cure."
NBC: "What would be your message to the American public?"
Woman: "Oh my God. Don't take anything. Don't believe anything. Don’t believe anything that the President says & his people...call your doctor."

3. They didn't believe in trump hard enough

their faith wasn't strong enough. They didn't even tithe to him. In trump we trust!

4. That should play that every day

as a big warning to the public before each Trump press conference. Networks should also put big red disclaimers across the screen while he's talking so their audiences are safely (and legally) forewarned.

7. If you are dumb enough

to take anything with the word chloroquine in it that is all on you. As far as listening to Trump? That is just as dumb and that is on you. They took chlorquine phosphate that she used on her Koi fish. Yup, whatta plan.

Correct dose of the correct medicine will not kill you. There are, of course, a few cases that will but that is usually because of misuse or drug interaction or just the odd case and that is true of anything you might ingest. Being stupid and listening to Trump talk medical will kill you.

500mg once a week was the dose for malaria. Thousands of GI's took it. Still, I am just a poster on the Internet, I would not listen to me either. Just my story.

10. Just a little disagreement with your second paragraph:

Prescription medicines, properly prescribed and taken according to instruction are actually a major cause of death in the USA. Definitely in the top 10, maybe as high as #4?

And that was just a 2 min search. What big Pharma gets away with is nothing short of criminal.

11. Thank you.

I am still stuck in the olden days when drugs were actually tested in groups for years not just thrown out for us to be the test subjects.

My husband is a retired physician and I am a retired critical care nurse. Back from the days before drugs were made, given cutesy names and dumped on an unsuspecting public. We have made it a part of our decisions to ask for older drugs rather than the newer drugs for this reason.

Thank you. That would not apply to this drug in question but you are exactly right about what you have corrected me on.

Bloomberg counter add.
