Holy Christ, he is going to stroke out today with all this news.

The drugs, hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine, have failed in several recent clinical trials and doctors say they can cause serious heart problems. The FDA had allowed their use in hospitalized Covid-19 patients and in clinical trials

1. Good. Now, maybe they can focus on finding an effective treatment for the disease.

Which, I've come to believe is the shortest path back to righting the ship-of-state. A vaccine is proving to be very problematic.

2. IMPOTUS endangering people's lives.

Always the lying grifter.

3. "Holy Christ, he is going to stroke out today"

13. Wouldn't be all bad.

4. Oklahoma wasted $2,000,000 on this snake oil.

Maybe they can hand them out as party favors at his "Covid spreaders unite" rally Saturday night.

9. Mix it with some koolaid in a MAGA mug.

Some say that's the ticket.

11. Send it to me and other Lupus patients. I take 400mg daily

It was getting hard to find but I just got a three month refill of the name brand.

Don't waste the stuff.

8. FDA did what they suppose to do . . .

Hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine had been proven, months ago, as not effective regarding COVID-19.

Warning on the internet and other social media platforms concerning bleach, Clorox, Lysol are in place, but unfortunately, shithole's cult which includes some republican politicians still advocate them as a cure and a preventive method for COVID-19.

10. How much time was pissed away on this?

Because drumpf, for reasons that still baffle me, insisted on pushing this.

Did this drug get more trials then it should have by his order? How many legit drugs weren’t being tested during this time? How many people died that didn’t need to?

I’m really curious if these drugs got the same number of patient trials as they would have anyway, or if many more people were given this drug because drumpf and his lackey right wing governors insisted it was the cure.

12. Trump and Kushner were told about C-19 in November of 2019

And what did they do? They tried to use that information to make money off of the
disease by hawking their "snake oil" aka HCQ and their own C-19 test kits.

15. Trump thought he could make a, quite literal, killing on it.

[sunonmars]

16. literally

14. Game changer....

Sickening. And the FDA had zero business ever granting emergency use status to it, they only did because the president pushed it.

People died because of this. There are people now dead who would still be alive had they not received Chloroquine. And we wasted time and money pursuing this phony cure instead of looking from one that might work.

17. The hits just keep coming today

He got his little hands slapped by the USSC over his attempts to defund sanctuary cities and on LGBTQ rights, his niece's tell all book has been announced, and now this.

He'll be rage tweeting on the can all night.

18. a family member has recently been diagnosed with Lupus.

He hasn't been able to get hydroxychloroquine. Twitler has no concern for the damage he does. And the cult is just as responsible for damages. Class action lawsuit, here we come.

[SergeStorms]

19. Don't let Trump know this.

I want him taking this shit for hang nails, slight abrasions, hiccups. I want him taking massive doses of this crap for everything!

No special reason, mind you. I just hate to see our wonderful president proved wrong.
