Fox News at its best!

I'm a left leaning Democrat, btw. The fact that some random people got confused and took something highly toxic should not be a national narrative. It is a personal tragedy.

I agree, but the PRESIDENT of the United States should not be tweeting out confusing advice like this, FFS.

PP here. Agreed. The dude is an idiot and should not be tweeting that. However, people also need to not take fish tank cleaner. There is an element of personal responsibility here.

ffs. we are doing clinical trials in the US. did you not know that? NOBODY, literally nobody, said we shouldn’t do trials or use the drug appropriately in the interim.

Honestly, if you read the media, it's ridiculous for Trump to even suggest that it could be promising. Dr. Fauci reportedly said "Dr. Anthony Fauci, made clear that any evidence about drug therapies being tested at the moment was strictly “anecdotal” and not the product of a “clinical trial.”

“You really can’t make any definitive statement about it,” Fauci said.

Moments earlier, Fauci was asked whether there was any evidence that one such drug— hydroxychloroquine — might be used as an effective prophylactic measure against coronavirus.

"The answer is no," Fauci replied."

The above would lend one to believe that the US isn't even looking at it. But, that's the media and not real life.

fauci is a doddering old fool and needs to go away ASAP. we are in a huge mess and to a great extent it’s his fault. also surgeon general. this is colossal failure on the part of CDC and FDA. trump, too, by nobody expected him to know anything about this. i am just some rando and i ordered masks for my family in January. why didn’t the government do the same? that’s not trumps fault.

trump is the PRESIDENT. it was his job to prepare us.

Trump can be blamed for a lot, but not this.

Pretty sure he can be blamed. For sure that was one of his cult followers

trump never suggested or implied that people should be eating aquarium cleaners. that of all things he did wrong in this pandemic you chose this to focus on shows nothing but how incredibly dumb you are.

the point is his careless and chaotic communications in a time when we need care and clarity.

here is the thing: his optimistic touting of the FDA approved drug that does seem promising is by far the best part of his handling of the crisis.

Trump was spouting "Chloroquine will be our miracle drug!" The couple said to each other, "Hey, I think we have some of that! Let's give it a try!" Extremely irresponsible of Trump - he needed to say, this is something we're looking into, talk to your doctor, etc instead of just throwing it out there. People look to him for guidance and not everyone realizes that he's an f'ing moron.

https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/man-dies-after-ingesting-chloroquine-attempt-prevent-coronavirus-n1167166

The man's wife told NBC News she'd watched televised briefings during which President Trump talked about the potential benefits of chloroquine. Even though no drugs are approved to prevent or treat COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus, some early research suggests it may be useful as a therapy.

"We were afraid of getting sick."

The name "chloroquine" resonated with the man's wife, who asked that her name not be used to protect the family's privacy. She'd used it previously to treat her koi fish.

"I saw it sitting on the back shelf and thought, 'Hey, isn't that the stuff they're talking about on TV?'"

Luckily, the EU might be leading the way on clinical trials in anti-malarials. They don't have our ridiculous political baggage. This is a serious situation here and we're so blinded by our stupid politics that we'll throw out a whole theory because some unfortunate people ingested some fish tank cleaner.
