Arizona Man Dies After Trying Substance Touted by Trump to Treat COVID-19

https://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/news/covid-19-remedy-touted-by-trump-kills-arizona-man-wife-critical-11460391

An Arizona man died after he and his wife ingested a chemical in an attempt to prevent a coronavirus infection, Banner Health said in a press release. His wife is in critical care. Both are in their 60s.

The chemical — chloroquine phosphate — is commonly used to clean fish tanks.

During a press conference on Thursday, President Donald Trump touted chloroquine as showing "very, very encouraging early results" in treating COVID-19 and falsely stated that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) was working "to be able to make that drug available almost immediately." The drug has been used to treat malaria.

Sad to hear of this happening. The Orange Anus is responsible even if he thinks he is not.

More of a confirmation of the so-called "Darwin Award Winner".
The stupidity of Doturd followers has nothing to do with the Theory of Natural Selection. This is just another example of morons getting medical advice from an imbecile.

The treasonous moron illegally occupying the WH might just get us all killed. Sad to say, hopefully most of the victims will be members of his cult. I say this having ZERO empathy for them....
