They Attacked Trump For Touting ‘Unproven Drugs,’ Now The NYT Is Reporting It Can Help With Coronavirus


Despite coming on the heels of promising research, President Donald Trump’s hope that hydroxychloroquine would prove effective against coronavirus was met with jeers from national media.

But now, the New York Times itself is walking back that criticism.

Trump said during a press briefing that the drug, which is used to treat malaria, lupus and rheumatoid arthritis, is showing “tremendous promise” in helping treat the novel coronavirus.

The press attacked.

Vox called Trump’s comments “reckless promotion.” The New York Times blared about Trump’s “embrace” of “unproven” drugs.

“How many desperately needed hospital beds will we have to set aside for people who unknowingly chose to develop life-threatening heart Arrhythmias? All because they followed the moronic advice of Dr. Don Trump to take hydroxycloroquine with a qt [sic] prolonging agent, Azithromycin,” NYT best-selling author Kurt Eichenwald tweeted.

Democratic Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer also cracked down on the drugs Trump touted after his comments. Days later, Witmer reversed course and requested hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine from the federal government.

Just as I thought. They were put there to wreck the economy after Obama was gone and all the other stuff to get Trump out failed. They are the insurance policy.

We have 15 cases here in Greene County and one death. The doctor who is the medical director of what used to be Laughlin is hospitalized with it. Our first 5 cases were Tusculum College students who went to Spring Break and brought it back here.

then it will be on par with the daily death rate from heart disease.

I don't mean this to downplay the situation. Just some perspective.

Here's some more perspective, hospitals don't get overwhelmed from heart disease patients. They do with COVID. Add to that a shortage of PPE and vents and we have a national disaster in the making. We are at the beginning stages and have a long, hard road ahead.

Downplaying this situation is part of the problem. People need to stay the hell home and quit comparing our government's response to nazi Germany. O the humanity, you have to sit on your couch for a month because of a worldwide pandemic. What a joke. It is idiotic and if you can't understand the difference then you fail. This is on par with the the flat earthers and the crazies that insist the sandy hook shooting was fake.

I don't get it. These particles are floating in the air for a significant amount of time, then what is the point of a mask? Would we not need to wear eye protection? As far as I am concerned, if this is the case, as well as surviving on some surfaces for days, we might as well all plan on getting it as some point.

Apparently the nasal passages is where it gains a foothold. I've been thinking about how maybe nose filters/plugs could be designed which would serve the same function as a mask, but use less material. I'm sure it's doable, but not sure how practical.

anyway, i think i recall someone saying that it would be difficult to be infected orally, or merely by contact to the skin.
