Or it’s because he’s BSing. Either one.

Is. It. Worth. The. Risk. and, if doctors at a place like BU are worthy of deference, shouldn’t we also defer to docs at similarly esteemed locations who aren’t prescribing the drug as wantonly as is done at BU? Hoax.

Fake news. That’s why you’re on the fake news list. That’s why deranged rhino is on the fake news and hoax lists. You nailed it.

I wouldn’t sweat it. He probably moved it up a bit so he can catch the draft, too.

You miss the point. It may have helped some. But it may have hurt more. And that is why we need data and properly-conducted studies.

Hoax. I’m not a comedic genius.

Fake news. You cared enough to respond.

Gentle reminder, sir. It is you who is on the "fake news" and "hoax" lists. So perhaps you should practice what you preach.

My favorite member of the snowflake list is back! Also, what do you mean by "little symptoms?" Is is a few significant symptoms? Or many insignificant symptoms? It might help some to understand the point that you try to make.

You might want to take that up with the FDA.

FYI - based on certain comments made in a different thread, Foxx has been placed on the "hoax" and "fake news" lists. I'm sure based on your most recent exchange with him that you understand why.

Hoax.

Fake science and fake logic. /end sarcasm.

Comments like these are why you're on the hoax list.

Is that robot cleaning the room where the Chinese successfully treated thousands of patients with the "hydro/clorox" method now promoted by the prez? Asking for a friend.

I'd be happy to if given the opportunity. Because we don't know if it will kill or seriously injure more people than it helps in this context. You want to try compassionate use of this treatment? Fine. I'm OK with that. But buying 30m or whatever the asinine numbers of doses that the fed purchased without knowing the efficacy of this drug in this context? Not smart.

Hoax. Another example of why you're on the hoax list.

I thought MSM outlets were fake news? Reasonable people demand a leader reasonable enough not to pontificate about something so profoundly stupid, especially in that setting. Ongoing = no results yet = efficacy of treatment remains speculation. Carry on.

Almost like a Noah's ark of silver bullets. Nice.

If we're going to play the semantics game, let's settle on what Trump said. I'll paraphrase. I'm going to ask doctors to research the efficacy of applying surface disinfectant to human internal organs. This was said during a pandemic. By the person with "absolute authority" to lead the response to the pandemic. If that's acceptable to you, or if that inspires confidence in you, then there's no point in arguing. We just agree to disagree.

The red hats that he wears are pretty dumb, though. Fake science. /end sarcasm.

Honestly I wouldn't. I consider it a waste to devote approximately 10% of the time he could spend dealing with this issue to sparring with the media about nonsense and then analyzing the presser thereafter. It's obvious that the most important public education tool of the pressers isn't to provide information about the virus response, it's to provide information about Donald J. Trump. Now that you're on the sheep list it's hard to take anything you say seriously. We can work together to get you off of that list, but it's going to take time. And name-calling isn't going to help.

Got a link? Also, the point isn't that some have benefitted. It's that the side effects might, and likely do, outweigh the benefits. https://www.cnbc.com/2020/04/24/fda-issues-warnings-on-chloroquine-and-hydroxychloroquine-after-serious-poisoning-and-death-reported.html (And I know you'll say, "But Zinc!!" If zinc protects form muscle weakness and heart arrhythmia then I'd love to know about it). Countless, eh? We can count the number of infections and casualties, but we can't count the number saved. More fake news from you, sir. Fake news. But it is true that you embarrass yourself regularly here. Eric Trump can read?

Yup. My hand has been forced here. West side 2 is now on the sheep list.

It's not the point about ingesting bleach. It's the point that the president is so dumb as to not recognize that it has at least some of the characteristics of a bad plan. That is sad. You're right. He suggested that medical experts should investigate the efficacy of direct application of surface disinfectants to internal organs. Viewed in that light, the comments are much more reasonable. /end sarcasm.
