He just telling people to go get the meds or something or the source and take it. And that's already killed someone... Also, he's not even discussing who should even be considered for the drug as he's treating it like it's some vitamin. It's not something that everyday people take. It's a seriously drug that should only go to those who actually need it in proven roads to recovery. I am not defending Trump in anyway. I'm just trying to stop people who would try to hate on chloroquine just because Trump is promoting it. Just like every treatments, it should be given to you by a doctor, not because your neighbor, your friend or the president told you Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Automatically it will be a hate reason left on him, for sure Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compared to a "cheetah like" moving target like HIV, this is a sloth in terms of mutation Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRCF29 8,230 Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 There are also cases where it works. A lawmaker in Michigan recovered after a dose(s) of it, so I think this thread title is misleading. It's an option, even if its still "experimental." https://www.businesstoday.in/current/world/coronavirus-hydroxycloroquine-saved-life-of-michigan-lawmaker-says-trump/story/400468.html Don't Call Me Gaga Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually read an article with a doctor who said that a vaccine should be easier than something like the flu, because there's only one strain.
