Even after all these months, you still don't get it do you?

Covid is NOT the problem - the problem is our healthcare system!!! It's not built to handle even a small percentage of Covid hospitalization.

We do this to save our healthcare system. That's the whole point.

Hydroxychloroquine doesn’t work as a covid cure or treatment. There’s no debate.

The jury is still out on whether HCQ is effective or not. It definitely falls into the category of "can't hurt, might help" though. But that was always the case. "Hey, here's something that might help! Let's see if it works!" If at some point HCQ is proven to be 100% useless in every way for The Chinese Communist Party Plague, from the point of view of the task force or the POTUS, not much has changed. They hoped it would help. It seems to help. That's all there is to it.

I swear, if Donald Trump got on TV and preached long and loud about the benefits of breathing oxygen, Democrats everywhere would all hold their breath, asphyxiate and die.
Why is this a political issue???????????????????????

It’s political to trump and his supporters. In the real world, Hydroxychloroquine isn’t an effective covid treatment.

There is actually a lively debate, but one side keeps getting their videos, posts, etc. deleted.

If somebody managed to burn every Bible and wipe out every Christian Church, it doesn't mean that Christianity never existed. If the government were to retroactively erase every trace of your existence, it would not mean you never existed. Censorship is just the tool of cowards and tyrants and it makes the whole world stupider.

There really are two sides to the debate about HCQ. One side see tremendous benefits, while not claiming that it's a cure for the Communist Virus. The other side sees no benefits and wants to categorize HCQ -- a malaria drug that's been around forever if I remember correctly -- as a terrifyingly dangerous drug that needs to be banned.

I have no clue who is right and who is wrong. Unless you are a medical expert in that specific field, neither do you.

And everyone who doesn't agree is a filthy lying dog-faced pony soldier.

Because our genius reality TV host invented it. He controls the show and knows exactly how to fan his base!

Hydroxychloroquine doesn’t treat covid. It just doesn’t. If it did that would be great, but that’s not the case.

Exactly. Dems/liberals tend to side with science and medicine. IMO this will be Trump's base undoing in Nov.
