[Ferd]

if Donald Trump came out and said Global Warming was going to kill the planet, the New York Time and democrats everywhere would go buy Trucks and support fracking

Except science has since shown the "malaria drug" isn't really a "lifesaving treatment".

The FDA also considered data from other studies."


Thank you for providing a link....


So, the number is not a wild exaggeration, just not particularly meaningful data.

Got it!

FWIW, I expect the actual benefit will be tremendous.

The number, without context, is meaningless. The number, in context, doesn't show what the FDA and the Trump administration claimed it showed.



Might it be the silver bullet? Maybe. Let's all hope it is. That doesn't change reality at this point in time, however.

Considering that the study's authors are saying that the study was misrepresented, I think that science is entitled to defend itself.

Reps to you!

The fact that all the Trump supporters still want to blame this on the Deep State or the Lamestream Media is, quite simply, hilarious.

Trump should declare breathing is good for you!

Because....???

The study's AUTHORS, the people who wrote the study, the people who conducted the study, are saying that their findings are being misrepresented.

Because the Pavlovian response to ANYTHING he says by the demoralized subverted DemocRATS is always the opposite!

Scientists find out Vitamin D is effective: The media finds scientists that say it isnt.
Scientists find out hydroxychloroquine is effective. The media finds scientists that say it isn't.
Scientists finds out blood sugar makes Covid worse, the media finds scientists that say eat what you want.
Scientists say convalescent plasma shows promise, the media finds scientists that say they were "bewildered".

The media states -- you must wear a mask -- scientists come out with numerous studies showing only partial effectiveness.
The media states -- covid is deadly -- more and more scientists rebel on live TV.

Are we seeing a pattern here?
