[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] Donald Trump on Twitter, March 21: 
HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE & AZITHROMYCIN, taken together, have a real chance to be one of the biggest game changers in the history of medicine. The FDA has moved mountains.

You can't rug sweep or minimize this. What he wrote is completely incorrect, dangerously irresponsible and frankly absurd. This is not a political issue. He has terrible judgment.

For the umpteenth time, there were many reasons beyond the French studies which made this drug a reasonable candidate.  Trump is not a medical person, he has no prescriptive powers in any hospital or clinic.  You must think doctors are idiots.   Did you think Trump was a doctor and did that confuse you?[/quote]

And for the umpteenth time, NOBODY disputes that HDL is a "reasonable candidate." Nobody.  Obviously it's reasonable; otherwise reputable scientists would not be doing clinical trials.  The issue is that NOBODY KNOWS if it works yet or not, and that was NOT the message being pushed out by Trump/Fox.  [/quote]

Turn off Maddow.

[quote] “It’s shown very, very encouraging early results” among researchers, Trump said. These two drugs “taken together, have a real chance to be one of the biggest game changers in the history of medicine,” he stated via Twitter.

“Very encouraging” and “real chance” are words of aspiration, not prescription. And Trump repeatedly has said that these drugs ultimately might fail, but nonetheless should be investigated.

“If we’re going to go into labs and test all of this for a long time, we can test it on people right now who are in serious trouble, who are dying,” Trump told journalists. “If it works, we’ve done a great thing. If it doesn’t work, you know, we tried.” Trump asked bluntly: “What the hell do you have to lose?”[/quote]

And, I  guess you must hate Cuomo as well.

[quote]Like Trump, Cuomo said Monday giving sick COVID patients doses of hydroxychloroquine is a worthy experiment to try to save lives.

“There has been anecdotal evidence that it is promising, that’s why we’re going ahead, doctors have to prescribe it. There are some people who have pre-existing conditions where it doesn’t work, or they’re taking medication that’s not consistent with this treatment, but anecdotally it’s been positive,” the governor said during a press briefing in Albany.[/quote]
