I’ve seen people try to claim that #45 didn’t say that.
First of all, yes, he did say we should investigate an utterly absurd idea that he made up from his own ignorance.
Second of all, he had PREVIOUSLY referred to hydroxychloroquine as something we should try because “what do you have to lose?” This statement led people to acquire much of it that people who genuinely needed it (for lupus) could not get it. So this isn’t even a NEW kind of statement. And again this statement was based on nothing but ignorance. Additional facts have made it clear that not only does it not ameliorate the symptoms of COVID-19 (not “cure”), but causes more fatalities.
And God forbid he should admit he should never have said this in the first place – and he would fire the only REAL experts on his daily reality show if they dared to point out this extremely obvious fact.
