Dr Trump that knows more about everything than everybody wins again?

Is it true that Trump invested in the company? Someone told me that, but I haven't gotten around to checking it out.

And that's what will happen if we nationalize healthcare. No thank you. I'd like the politicians to stay out of medicine. They know nothing.

C'mon people! Trump never said it was a sure thing that hydroxychloroquine would work, his exact words were "it might work, and it MIGHT NOT, let's try it and see".

What country is hydroxychloroquine made in?

Come on. Look it up.

I agree. Ever watched those drug commercials on tv? When they talk about the possible side effects, it's clear the cure could be worse than the disorder it's treating.

That’s hardly all he’s said.

“… It’s a very strong, powerful medicine, but it doesn’t kill people. We have some very good results and some very good tests.”

“What do you have to lose? And a lot of people are saying that, and are taking it. If you’re a doctor or a nurse, a first responder, a medical person going into hospitals, they say taking it before the fact is good.”

“And there are signs that it works on [coronavirus], some very strong signs. And in the meantime, it’s been around a long time, and also works very powerfully on lupus. So there are some very strong, powerful signs, and we’ll have to see.”

“But we don’t have time to go and say, gee, let’s take a couple of years and test it out. And let’s go and test with the test tubes and the laboratories. We don’t have time.”

“I want them to try it, and it may work, and it may not work. What if it doesn’t work? It’s nothing lost by doing nothing.”

We need to wait for the hydroxychloroquine trials to be wrapped and peer reviewed before judging its efficacy against COVID-19. It may work in some cases; not in others.

We have purchased and we have stockpiled 29 million pills of the hydroxychloroquine, 29 million. A lot of drugstores have them by prescription — and they’re not expensive.

What do you have to lose? And a lot of people are saying that, and are taking it. If you’re a doctor or a nurse, a first responder, a medical person going into hospitals, they say taking it before the fact is good.

The FDA feels good about it. As you know, they’ve approved it, they gave it a rapid approval ( a lie, not for COVID)

It’s a very strong, powerful medicine, but it doesn’t kill people. We have some very good results and some very good tests
