KS-SEN: Candidate encourages every single citizen to be like Trump and take hydroxychloroquine

[RandySF]

Everyone over the age of 65 should emulate the president of the United States and start taking hydroxychloroquine.

“Republican Rep. Roger Marshall, an obstetrician who is running for Senate in Kansas, said he feels that using hydroxychloroquine as a preventive measure will minimize the risk or impact of the coronavirus. Mr. Marshall said he is taking it ‘prophylactically’ himself, as are his parents, siblings and wife,” The Wall Street Journal reported Monday.

“I would encourage any person over the age of 65 or with an underlying medical condition to talk to their own physician about taking hydroxychloroquine and I’m relieved President Trump is taking it,” he said.

[NoRoadUntravelled]

2. It sure looks that way.

[jpak]

3. Quack

Yup

[CatMor]

4. What doctor would be prescribing a potentially dangerous drug ..

for a new virus still being researched and studied. That Dr. Is treading on dangerous grounds. I sure as hell wouldn't vote for him.

5. What are the chances the good doctor bought stock before 'encouraging' millions of people

to request the drug from their doctors.
How many members of Congress have bought in before the stocks soar?

[leftyladyfrommo]

6. Does Trump have an interest in the manufacture

of that stuff?

7. 'A leap that should not be taken casually'

By Victor Garcia | Fox News

Fox News' Neil Cavuto reacted strongly Monday to President Trump's "stunning" disclosure that he is taking the antimalarial drug hydroxychloroquine to prevent contracting coronavirus.

"The president has insisted that <hydroxychloroquine> has enormous benefits for patients either trying to prevent or <who> already have COVID-19," Cavuto said on "Your World". "The fact of the matter is, though, when the president said, 'What have you got to lose?' In a number of studies <of> those certainly vulnerable, the population have one thing to lose, their lives" ...

"The VA study, to which the president alluded, wasn't a loaded political one. It was a test on patients there and those who took it in a vulnerable population, including those with respiratory or other conditions. They died," Cavuto said. "I want to stress again. They died" ...

"If you are in a risky population here and you are taking this as a preventative treatment to ward off the virus, or in a worst case scenario, you are dealing with the virus and you are in this vulnerable population it will kill you," Cavuto warned. "I cannot stress enough. This will kill you" ...

9. It's a very weird, weird world that has me agreeing with Neil Cavuto.

[struggle4progress]

12. Some of those wackos are running back towards the center, to save their credibility

[riversedge]

8. so, it has started .....to be pushed by Repubs -and a doctor at that. damn.

[crickets]

10. So many doctors need to stand up and scream at this fool, quickly and loudly,

before he gets someone killed. His medical license needs to be yanked yesterday. There is no excuse for such wild and irresponsible behavior. Yes, I know trump has been doing the same thing but trump isn't a doctor and he shouldn't be getting away with it either. Marshall should be toast for this, medical career and political career GONE for being so irresponsible with the welfare of the general public.

11. No. Really? n/t

13. It tastes better when mixed with Kool Aid. n/t

[Hermit-The-Prog]

19. I thought the magic mixer was Clorox.

Wish the great Pretender Doktor Donnie Tweeter would settle on a formula.

[dreamland]

14. I wish that he'd take it in front of cameras to back his claim.

I bet he wouldn't have the nerve to do so.

[gratuitous]

15. Gee, I hope people who actually need hydroxychloroquine can still get it

But that's not the kind of thing that concerns Trump or this nincompoop in Kansas.

[eShirl]

16. Why are they trying to get their followers to poison themselves?

How is that a good strategy?

[oasis]

17. Be my guests Trump cultists.

Just say "when".

[smirkymonkey]

18. So, I guess they are advocating geriatric genocide?

Right? Because that's what it looks like to me. The older you are, the worse the effect that this drug is going to have on you. Have a little pill, have a little Kool-aide. Have a nice long nap.

Don't worry about Social Security or Medicare. You won't be needing it. Thank you for your sacrifice.

20. I suppose making such an asinine statement guarantees him 30% of the vote
