“Amazingly”, Trump starting pushing hydroxychloroquine after a private conversation with one of his big donors. Gee, do you think that there is a connection?
“The Trump administration pushed for nationwide access to a malaria drug touted by President Donald Trump as a Covid-19 treatment ‘with limited physician oversight,’ according to a person familiar with the allegations of Dr. Rick Bright, the HHS vaccine chief who was ousted from his position earlier this week.
“Bright felt such a move was dangerous and responded by pushing for more clinical trials, the person said, but, under pressure from his superiors in the health department, eventually agreed to sign off on an emergency use authorization that allowed the Trump administration to acquire tens of millions of doses of chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine and distribute the medicines to some patients hospitalized for Covid-19.
“Bright, who was pushed out this week as head of the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority, is now alleging that he was sidelined after pushing back against the administration’s demands.”
The only reason trump is pushing this drug is that he finally learned to pronounce a polysyllable word correctly. In his mind this demonstrates great knowledge.
Now the idiot is suggesting disinfectant injections. The nice part is that his fans can get disinfectant without a prescription, and they already have plenty of needles.
BAD illustration, Clay. HCQ, used by itself or with certain antibiotics, is positively HARMFUL It’s not at all a squib or sucker-cup round as you metaphorise it, it’s definitely TOXIC.
It couldn’t be the QUALITY and COMPETENCE of our leadership with our rigorous requirements of age and citizenship to hold federal office, … could it? Surely our binary opposing political system selects only the best and brightest to serve the people? /s
And now he’s moved on to suggesting you somehow get UV light into your body (says Mr. Spray-Tan), or inject yourself with disinfectants. I hate to imagine if some poor sap of a believer kills themselves by inhaling chlorine bleach – self-administered poison gas, for those of you who know your WWI history…
What he does not seem to understand is that if it kills germs, it can often kill YOU as well. That’s why you don’t drink the stuff.
If he wants to volunteer as a test case, however, I will support his “freedom.”
“It is better to remain silent at the risk of being thought a fool, than to talk and remove all doubt of it.” From Mrs. Goose, Her Book by Mauice Switzer: 1906.
What have you got to lose? Uh, just your life. Maybe we should just shine a big ultraviolet light on your insides and spray disinfectant in your lungs. Genius.
Nice art work the Handgun is a Beretta 92 or a M-9 in Military service. It is more complicated than a Glock seeing it has a safety/ de-cocker. They are being phased out of service since it replaced the venerable 1911 [my favorite] in the early 1980’s.

Not just that it does’t help with Covid-19, but also that it often has serious life threatening side effects.
Aren’t you glad that “our” “President” is able to give such well thought out and accurate advice? /s

It’s only a sugar pill but all Trump supporters are required to take one every day. Why? So Trump can receive his 10% kickback.

I would love to see a follow up on this: camera pulled back with the table now including this gun, Lysol syringe, and a UV flash light.

Of course the largest test was done by the VA on sick veterans. What did they have to lose? 28% died.

It has been shown that giving chloroquine increases fatalities. Now the moron in the Oval Office has suggested people drink or inject disinfectants.
Maybe having Trump will help weed morons from the genepool.
