On chloroquine:
* Trump has repeatedly touted anti-malaria drug chloroquine as a 'cure' for coronavirus, calling it a 'miracle from God' and a 'game-changer'
* But the first person to promote it as a potential cure is revealed to have posed as a Stanford University researcher when he was nothing of the kind
* He is actually a cryptocurrency entrepreneur and member of his family's legal firm in Melville, Long Island
* Rigano, 34, who uses his parents' address on public records, wrote a bogus scientific paper with another crypto investor, an ophthalmologist from Michigan
* It touted chloroquine or hydroxychloroquine as a potential cure but was removed from Google's public documents for breaching their terms of use
* The document claimed to be supported by Stanford and University of Alabama at Birmingham researchers but both institutions say that is false
* Rigano got his document tweeted by Elon Musk then went on a string of Fox News shows, not correcting Stuart Varney who called him 'doctor' three times
* The 'cure' was then touted heavily by Trump at the White House - despite Tony Fauci using the same briefing to say evidence for it is at best anecdotal
* Rigano set up a secretive LLC in February and has previously tried to raise funds to 'cheat death, cure cancer and end Alzheimer's'

I'm all for trying this drug -- doctors and scientists, that is. Of course! Medical experts should be trying lots of things to see if anything works. A politician tweeting out that we may have found a miracle cure is hugely irresponsible.

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.

there was nothing confusing about it - he touted the FDA approved drug that is in fact used by many doctors (hence shortages), not cleaning supplies.

The shortages are because he touted it.

this is not toilet paper, it’s a prescription medicine. someone is prescribing it.

Yes, every dentist, dermatologist, and gastroenterologist who saw Trump tout it “prescribed” it for themselves, their friends and their family members so they could have it on hand if someone tested positive.

Proof?

There are pharmacists who have said this and that they refused those prescriptions so they would have the stock for their customers with lupus who needed it. Have you read this whole thread?

I assure you that if my choice was dying on a ventilator or voluntarily be “tested” on, I would be the first in line. Test away

Being on a ventilator does not mean you are dying on it. Many COVID patients are being weaned off ventilators and recover without this drug.

Time to pull some licenses! Disgraceful.

no, the man died while consuming a tank cleaner. cloroqouine phosphate, not hydroxychloroquine.

lets say that this is true (which is total nonsense). why would they do something like that?

there are numerous case studies reported from people getting in the hospital as well as hospitals using it (south korea, france, US...). the most obvious proof is shortage. trump followers cannot cause shortage of prescription medicine, only doctors can.

you are the dumb one. the drug is being tested and, at the same time, massively used to treat covid patients. that has nothing to do with trump, he merely pointed out what most doctors already know.

This.

I get that everyone wants a miracle cure, but Donnie is extraordinarily careless in touting it to the public. He’s doing it to shore up his election chances. He doesn’t care about anyone but himself, so there’s just no chance he did this to “offer hope” or something. It’s always and only about him. I think he’s so nuts that he doesn’t, in a fundamental way, understand that other people even exist.
