This took longer than I expected.

Now this is Trumps fault for spreading his rhetoric.

Fucking doctors keep writing for azithromycin and plaquenil, which can cause arrhythmia and kill people. Our pharmacists don't think it's ethical to fill, but are also so fucking sick of people bitching and screaming at us that we just give them the shit and make them sign that they understand the risk so they can't sue. What a shitshow.

fake news

There were also two people in Nigeria of all places who had to be hospitalized for the same thing.

My mom genuinely needs it and has been on it for a while now. She is sick enough that the risks make sense. Taking it for coronavirus though seems to be trading one problem for another.

Oh, there are definitely legit uses. Which sucks even more because it's going on backorder already. Hope she get a 3 month supply because I doubt it's going to available for quite a while.

I didn't consider that. Shit, I'll have to talk to her about that in the morning.

A man literately heard the president talk about a cure, tried to take something close to it and die. We are really down playing this.

Why is this guy still President?

Blood on Trump's tiny hands

The president did not say it was a cure. He said he doesnt know if it will work or not. There has been some success with it, but hes remaining optimistic.

Didn't he just say it looked promising?

If he didn't say anything about "promising" drugs being looked into people would be all over his ass for not mentioning it

Let me get this straight: a grown adult hears about this chloroquine drug and hears from the President that they think it could lead to a potential vaccine moving forward.

Said grown adult takes a look at some fish tank cleaner he has in his house and spots it on the list of ingredients among many other things that are harmful to the human body.

Grown adult doesnt consult a doctor and just eats the fish bowl cleaner thinking he will get better.

somehow this is Trumps fault.

dot dot dot

this is the equivalent of a scientist saying how great mold is since we use it to create cheese. Grown adult goes oh we can eat mold? And goes down to his basement and begins licking the walls that have mold on it.

Good.. If stupid enough to do something like this for no reason, then it's better for us all. This is the type of fuck who would break quarantine while sick with it and run to hide someplace currently free of it.. because he's "sure" he doesn't really have it. I mean he already is endangering the public, because of this asshole's actions, there are going to be slightly less stupid people who will now likely refuse to use this drug properly. Despite it being in part, one of the more effective looking treatments currently! ffs

Dude fucking swallowed fish tank cleaner, I can't really blame Trump for that level of stupidity. Trump did not tell people fish tank cleaner might cure them.

If Trump told people to drink plenty of water, would you blame him if someone chugged ocean water till they died?

Doctor said in need more iron, so I ate a bunch of nails. Fuck that doctor man... that shit hurt.

---

all medicines are deadly or at least harmful in wrong doses. so too water. but orange man bad CE at it again like usual.

Of course they would. If Trump cured cancer theyd call him a murderer for killing the disease.

Now that is how you people treat Obama. What are calling Trump out for saying something worked when we have no proof it worked and someone died because of it. See the different between that and getting upset with Trump for curing cancer.

Trump did not tell anyone to ingest fish tank cleaner.
