“What do you have to lose”? Does not = “I have literally no level of expertise, consult your physician for more information”.
Many physicians have found anecdotally that this drug can cause liver failure in very sick patients and actually speed up the deadly effects of the virus, so they are not administering it. There is a reason Dr Fauci is so apprehensive about it and has to consistently take it upon himself to correct the dumb a** at the mic.
Trump has no business talking about pharmacology, at all.
I imagine the people who die from side effects of hydroxychloroquine will have those deaths attributed to COVID-19. This will further infuriate some of those here claiming that the deaths resulting from the pandemic are exaggerated.
It reminds me of psychiatric medications. The plausible deniability that the medication wasn't at fault for someone going ballistic or committing suicide is very convenient. "Well, they were being treated for a psychiatric condition."
