Yea he shouldn't have retweeted that, big time.

I just have issue with Twitter removing it. He always retweets stupid crap, but this is the first time they straight up removed something. Not good.

I honestly half expected her to also say Miracle Mineral Solution is the cure and that HCQ, Zinc and the Z-Pack are just a proven treatment. The problem is her doing that would show that she truly should not be listened to. Not that the Demon Sperm crapola makes her a loon to begin with.
Her alleged results with those patients.

Of which we have no details about their age, comorbidities, seriousness of symptoms, treatment protocols, etc.

Vaporware.

A big fat "trust me" from a person whose opinions are demonstrably un-trustworthy.

I dont understand how people can't say that isn't problematic. As said in another thread Trump takes two steps forward but takes five steps backwards. This was the five steps backward. Trump is cancer to the American political landscape and i can only hope we take care of it in November.

I could be wrong, though.

There is TONS of non-censored HCQ-favorable data out there, so I don't think you need to worry on that front.

There's also this:

The “Will Hydroxychloroquine Impede or Prevent COVID-19,†or WHIP COVID-19, study is a 3,000-subject look at whether hydroxychloroquine prevents front-line workers from contracting the COVID-19 virus.

This is a randomized, double-blinded study designed to produce a scientific answer to the question: Does it work?

I agree. It was the way she phrased it as "the cure" that looks like it was the issue. It was stupid of him to RT that. Especially when the moron was tweeting about "it's patriotic to wear masks" like a week ago.

Fox News is part of the MSM. So are all of the other Right Wing propaganda outlets. Fox news is the most popular. They had to tell their viewers not to drink or inject disinfectants....

Now narratives are shaped on both sides. The narrative your side is pushing is that the president is not a moron. Even Stevie Wonder can see that the president is Sarah Palin in a suit.

Bingo.

I'm typically against censorship, too. In this case, it was dangerous to people's health and was justified, IMO.

Yes. And then it went viral with his supporters sharing and further retweeting it. The Donald and his supporters love crazy people and conspiracy theories - good for "ratings". Not so good for the country.

Only the USA is saying hydroxychloroquine doesn't work. Studies out of EU, China, and other places shows it has effect. The USA is pushing its own, more expensive, treatment which is Remdeshivir made by Gilead. No other countries are really using it because it's results have proven to be mixed at best. Even with the best possible spin, it just shortens duration of illness by 4 days in the USA.

If you don't see the problem with that, you are the problem.
You mean the wacko pediatrician that offered no evidence, and the guy that hasn't actually seen a patient in 2 years (well before COVID-19 even arrived here)? Those "trenches"?
