Gohmert says he will take hydroxychloroquine as COVID-19 treatment

[RandySF]

Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) said Wednesday he will take an anti-malaria drug that experts have warned doesn’t treat the coronavirus after he tested positive for the virus.

"My doctor and I are all in," Gohmert said about hydroxychloroquine during a Wednesday evening interview with Fox News, according to Newsweek.

"I got a text before I came on from a friend doctor who just found out he had it, and he started the regimen too — zinc and hydroxychloroquine. And that will start in a day or two, so thank you," the congressman added.

Congressional aides confirmed Wednesday that Gohmert, who has largely opted against wearing a mask around the Capitol, tested positive for COVID-19.

5. Good. Let's see how this works for him.

Too stupid to wear a mask -check.
Gets Covid - check.
Blame the mask - check.
Take an unproven and possible dangerous "cure" - check.
Prognosis - remains to be seen.

Stay tuned....

[tanyev]

8. Excellent.

[LisaL]

9. Go for it.

[la-trucker]

10. lol

[Nevilledog]

12. Dr. Stella says triple the dosage.

And works better if you hold a plastic bag tightly over your head.

[North Shore Chicago]

77. Rofl!

"Breathe deep this gathering gloom"

[lagomorph777]

81. Dr. Demon Semen also recommends drinking alien DNA

[NNadir]

13. Good. It's a dangerous and ineffective drug.

They're going full Jim Jones.

[dreamland]

14. The medicine will only help his condition...

Maybe he'll take two pills, twice a day for two weeks to help cure him. I hear it's a great cure for stupidity.

[RockRaven]

15. By all means, please proceed Comgressman...

And then double, triple, quadruple, quintuple down. Whatever multiplier you think is best.

[Chipper Chat]

57. May I suggest diet Clorox as a chaser

[lagomorph777]

82. diet Clorox?

Eww, no, the full-sugar kind is what you need.

[kentuck]

16. and a z-pak?

Otherwise, the HOCQ is worthless.

[Mopar151]

17. Whatever kills him, makes us stronger! N/T

YOLO and all that shit.

[onecaliberal]

19. Very good idea. I'm so glad he try ought of it.

[Goodheart]

20. The zinc might actually be helpful

The hydroxychloroquine, no.

[smirkymonkey]

21. Good!

Bottom's up, Louis!

Slug it down and count your days. Because we are.

[Bucky]

22. HCQ, if used early can be part of an effective treatment machine. But those long-term effects

Louie's rolling the dice on a political stunt when he could be using remdesvir instead. I hope he doesn't roger himself into an early grave.

[LisaL]

28. Remdesivir is only approved for people who are in the hospital in severe condition as of now.

He is not eligible for that. He is so far asymptomatic.

[lagomorph777]

84. Stop. Please don't spread that disinformation.

https://www.wired.com/story/hydroxychloroquine-still-doesnt-do-anything-new-data-shows/

The notion that HCQ has any benefits at all for COVID is a 100% right-wing lie.

[Bucky]

90. Thank you

You're right. I was wrong.

I based my comment off of the Henry Ford study that came out in early June. It was a review of treatment and outcomes and found did people who took HCQ in fact did have better survival rates.

Only it wasn't a double-blind study. The causal relationship wasn't there. It's complicated, but the tl;dr is that because HCQ requires treatment early and the progress of the disease, it was being given to people who had an overall greater chance of surviving and was not being given to people who had an overall better chance of dying.

In the last week a study out of Brazil that did double blinds found that HCQ had harsh side effects and did not improve in chances of recovery.

[BlueIdaho]

23. I don't believe him.

No reason to believe he’d be honest about this - he’s a pathological liar and a profession fuckhead. My bet is he gets plasma transfusions from some covid survivors. The Remdesivir is waiting in the wings if that fails.

[Duppers]

58. Yup, just sucking up to the hump.

But otoh, the is the dumbest person in Congress.

[lagomorph777]

85. I think he takes his transfusions orally

from young virgins.

[Xolodno]

24. Why do I find myself....

...suddenly feeling so evil?

[Bleacher Creature]

25. How are these people any different than a cult??? NT

[aquamarina]

26. Please proceed

[Phoenix61]

27. Can increase heart arrhythmia. I think he

should go for it. Of course all we’ll have is his word he took it. I mean, he wouldn’t lie would he?

[Horse with no Name]

29. Sweet.

I hope he gets two scoops!

[oasis]

30. Please don't die.

[sarcasmo]

31. Gohmert is the Covidiot King.

[Totally Tunsie]

32. That's spectacular!

They're holding a place for you in hell, Louie.

[Sugarcoated]

34. Guzzle it assface

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

35. With a bleach chaser?

[Maru Kitteh]

36. I definitely approve of this message.

Remember Louie, more is better.

[Turbineguy]

37. Nope

Not goin there.

[spanone]

38. This fucking country is getting crazier by the day

[NRaleighLiberal]

39. use a bleach chaster, Gomer!

[central scrutinizer]

41. What does he have to lose?

To quote Dr. Drumpf

[Blue Owl]

53. I bet he's going to hear tRump's voice whispering in his ear every night...

"Go ahead... Take it... What do you have to lose???"

Over and over again...

[hamsterjill]

42. I would need to see proof.

I wouldn’t trust this dude with anything. He may say he’s taking the drug to promote it, but it may not be what’s happening. I’m sure he will have access to the best of care, and whatever is prescribed by his doctor will be deemed confidential, so ole Louie will say publicly whatever will benefit him the most.

[Elwood P Dowd]

43. I have this feeling it's a great big ruse cooked up by the repukes.

Gohmert Pyle is going to get some repuke quack doctor (there appears to be several candidates willing to do or say anything) to give him a prescription. When his quarantine is over, he can carry around an empty hydroxychloroquine bottle telling all the press idiots how it saved his life. Trump will tweet about it daily. A bunch of rich and powerful repukes must have millions of dollars worth of the stuff they need to unload.

[Lokee11]

89. I am with you

I actually have doubts that his repuke ass even has it. I would not put it pass any of them to fake having it, say HCQ cured them and then flaunt around like "King Dipshit and his merry band of quack Dr.'s are right - it works."

One of the worst things this Orange Menace and that Greedy Ol' Party has done, is make it so you cannot trust anyone or anything anymore, not that I ever trusted the GOP anyway, but the levels they will go know no depth to deep. Cannot trust any agency that he has even touched - CDC on down, or up, I don't know anymore. He makes everything worse!!!

FDT

[lpbk2713]

44. That should tidy things up nicely.

Buh bye.

[Polly Hennessey]

45. Good thinking, Gohmert. And while you are

doing that overdose on zinc then crawl back into your hole of slime.

[diva77]

47. He's probably just saying he's gonna take it -- but has no intention of taking it.

just my guess

[Talitha]

49. Now we wait....

[COLGATE4]

51. Go for it, Louie. He looks like a fine

candidate for a nice cardiac arythmia.

[Blue Owl]

52. Hit the body with a tremendous light, Louie

Just like Dr. Donny says...

[Cicada]

54. So dumb it's scary

[Sogo]

55. He's one of those idiots who lives in his office.

Nancy should make him clear out and hit the place with a disinfectant by a crew in hazmat suits.

What a low life!

[awesomerwb1]

56. Don't forget to drink a gallon of bleach morning and evening

POS

[Duppers]

59. Hope he adds bleach to that menu.

And hot light up his ass.

[lagomorph777]

86. Damn, I've been doing it wrong.

I thought it was supposed to be Clorox up the ass and swallow a blacklight.

[djacq]

60. Proceed Congressman.

[Warpy]

61. I think Kushner probably gave him a good deal on it

Remember, we the taxpayers paid for a huge stockpile of the stuff just about the time the trials were being canceled because giving high enough doses to make a difference was killing people before Covid did.

[TalenaGor]

62. he don't have covid...he pulling a stunt

[lillypaddle]

63. Well, maybe they will kill themselves off

Such a doofus - how the hell did he get elected????

[Gore1FL]

64. He can wash is down with Kool-Aid!

66. Good. Lots and lots of it, Louie.

I'll start a GoFundMe for more of it, in case he runs out.

[secondwind]

67. ZINC yes, the other not so much.

[KentuckyWoman]

68. Please proceed

Triple the dose just to be sure.

[Fullduplexxx]

69. Bullsht he will

[KWR65]

70. I read on the Internets that M&M Peanut Candy will cure the COVID-19 too!

[jmg257]

71. Who's a good boy! Theres a good boy! Swallow them all!

Go for it.

He already said he was asymptomatic, so...whatever.

[PCIntern]

72. Remember to walk into the light...

73. I demand a double-blind test of this regimen!

KY...........

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

74. Well this is the idiot who thought he caught it from a mask

Try a Lysol/Clorox cocktail Louie

[Tom Rinaldo]

75. I am sorry to have to say this

but through his death now, with all of the implications that would carry, Louie Gohmert, would finally be able to actually serve his nation through his sacrifice. With the further debunking of hydroxychloroquine being his final parting gift.

[SmartVoter22]

76. Doctors' should dump Gohmert

If Gohmert chooses to use bad drugs, home remedies and other highly suspect treatments, they should refuse to treat him.
Any patient who does not follow specific Doctors' orders for any condition, should be told that they will no longer have professional treatment.

These fools can join Charles Darwin's Natural Selection Party.

[lagomorph777]

78. Don't forget the Clorox chaser!

[DFW]

79. Good!

As long as he is at it, to conform with his choice of medication, I hope he changes his diet to one exclusively of fatty beef, butter, high fructose corn syrup and fried foods.

[MoonRiver]

87. If COVID doesn't finish him off, that shit will.

[Autumn]

91. My sister is taking the same thing. Her pastor told her to do it. nt
