So, today I heard the craziest thing. Something I thought at first was parody or published in poor taste in The Onion. What I heard was that President Drumpf said he was taking hydroxychloroquine on the regular. Like daily.
What an unadulterated fool. Has he finally lost what little mind he was born with?
There are so many things wrong with his statement that one wonders where to begin.
But first, I sincerely doubt he's even taking the stuff. Drumpf is a convicted and compulsive liar. He would find it easy to say he's taking it, whether he was doing it or not. And by lying about it, he has the best of both worlds. He bolsters the use of it (and we suspect some kind of monetary gain - or point of pride) AND he avoids dying from it.
Of course, his TrueBelieverFollowers won't be so lucky.
It's so irresponsible to pretend this is a valid treatment - how many of his True Believers will demand this treatment, to their own detriment? How many more people will die because of this idiot-fool?
During medical trials, hydroxychloroquinine hasn't proven to be effective - or any more effective than a placebo - in treating the disease. In fact, in some cases, it was worse.
The side effects of the drug can be lethal, as it can result in irregular heartbeats, especially in older, overweight men with heart disease.
There could be dancing in the streets?
It was never understood to be a prophylactic - unlike a vaccine, it won't prevent the disease. It's only suspected usefulness was to shorten the course of the disease. Is Drumpity trying to tell us he has Covid-19?
By his actions, he's taking the drug out of the hands of the patients who need it. It works well, with close consultation and oversight by a trained physician, for malaria, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis. Now those patients find their supplies threatened and treatment sometimes delayed.
His doctor simply said Drumpf could take it if he wanted to? Really? What kind of a doctor says that?
Is he certifiably nutz? (Drumpf and/or the doctor).
Look for Drumpf to be back-tracking from this statement in the next couple of days. With the usual supply of lies.
Holy Toledo, Bat-Poop Crazy Man.
