Trump is so fucking predictable....

Me two months ago:

When Biden becomes president....

the only thing available in the national stockpile will be nothing more than millions of doses of useless hydroxychloroquine.

US stockpile stuck with 63 million doses of hydroxychloroquine

(CNN)The federal government is stuck with 63 million doses of hydroxychloroquine now that the US Food and Drug Administration has revoked permission for the drug to be distributed to treat coronavirus patients.

The government started stockpiling donated hydroxychloroquine in late March, after President Trump touted it as "very encouraging" and "very powerful" and a "game-changer."

One of my frequent responses on twitter is something like: "Just remember: Everything (he/she) says is a lie. The opposite of what they say is generally the truth. But they always, always lie."

People with Lupus were having difficulty getting those medications. They need to be prioritized as it is effective for those conditions.

Trump is a piece of shit.

It should be donated now to poor countries that have endemic malaria.

Holding on to meds with expiration dates is useless. I’m sure don the con already made money off of the sales to the government and there is no reason to keep it from those who can use it. I hate that he profited off of it but I want to see it put to use to help people. I’m sure he was intending to use it to reward his cronies but can we move on now that it’s been shown useless for Covid?
