    Of course that's true. I just didn't see the widespread Insanity amongst actual official people during the Obama Administration as we do today. I mean seriously when some Congressman stood up and said You Lie the news media was aflame. Can you think of anything along the lines of John Boehner tearing up the State of the Union Address? Yeah silly shit happens but these guys are just over the top.

    I just see this as an escalation over time. It will only continue to get more silly and irritating especially when you see the mental gymnastics that will occur from the cultists on both sides who will justify it instead of just admitting this is all horse shit.

    Could be. And Trump is more of an asshole than most people and brings a lot of it on himself. Still I think the left is substantially more Looney. I guess we will see what happens if Biden wins.

    I wish the president would let me run his campaign but I guess if he actually listened to anybody he wouldn't be who he is. Successful or otherwise.

    It’s not just that hydroxychloroquine doesn’t help Covid-19 patients. The drug makes them sicker. 


    A comprehensive study published yesterday in the medical journal The Lancet found that seriously ill Covid-19 patients who were treated with hydroxychloroquine or chloroquine were more likely to die or develop irregular heart rhythms.


    "Our data has very convincingly shown that across the world in a real-world population that this drug combination, whichever way you slice it or dice it, does not show any evidence of benefit, and in fact is immutably showing a signal of grave harm," said Dr. Mandeep Mehra, the study’s lead author.


    It’s not the first study to highlight the potentially harmful effects of the medication, but it is by far the largest. It analysed data from more than 96,000 patients across six continents.


    The study comes just days after US President Donald Trump revealed that he has been taking the medication himself, despite the Food and Drug Administration’s stark 1,000-word warning about the risks. 


    The World Health Organization has also warned against using hydroxychloroquine to treat Covid-19. But Trump does have one high-profile ally in promoting it: Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro.


    Sales of hydroxychloroquine have soared after Trump’s endorsements. That’s a problem for those who rely on the drug and who suddenly find themselves struggling to obtain it. Hydroxychloroquine is used to treat and prevent malaria and to treat auto-immune conditions such as lupus and rheumatoid arthritis.


    Meanwhile, there was more disappointing news on potential Covid-19 coronavirus drugs yesterday. In the first major trial of remdesivir — the only approved Covid-19 specific drug — researchers found that it alone is not enough to help patients. The research showed the drug shortened the course of the illness, but was not a cure and it did not act quickly.

    Misleading. How do sales of hydroxy "soar" if it is a prescription drug?

    This article aims at the ineffectiveness of hydrox in patients who are seriously ill with COVID.

    Trump doesn't have COVID. He is taking it as a preventive measure. Obviously, the "soaring sales" must be attributed to those without COVID as well otherwise they'd be getting sicker. No?

    From one of the links:

     A large observational study published Friday found that seriously ill Covid-19 patients treated with hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine were more likely to die or develop dangerous heart arrhythmias, and a study published earlier this month showed the medication did not help treat coronavirus and could cause cardiac arrest.

    This article combines two different situations under the bad umbrella.

    So if you don't like The Lancet article, it's time for more MAGA positive spin, read the bold and weep apologist. . Doubtless Trumpy will pay off a few quacks to publish BS to support him. So- President Lysol is taking it as a preventative- is he planning on travel to a malaria endemic area? Where's the  medical evidence to back hydroxy as a covid preventative? Mega doses of Vitamin C may be as effective. So where & why did he think hydroxy was such a great idea in the first place? Got any links? He wasted at least a month and tens of millions sending the medical community on a wild goose chase on one of his hunches. If this stuff had any significant benefits- you would already know it based on preliminary studies- like remdisivir. But he's still clinging to his BS. F**cking quack- he gutted the CDC, and now it's their fault he doesn't like their numbers?

    “Cuomo mocked the president for this” but “it turns out that Chris Cuomo took a less safe version of it called quinine, which the FDA removed from the market in 2006 because it had serious side effects, including death. So really interesting to have that criticism of the president.”

    Doesn't have anything to do with the Lancet but I think you're becoming the tiniest bit obsessed with Maga. I mean come on Larry we've known die hard for a good many years and the shtick is pretty damned obvious isn't it?

    As far as the Lancet I guess you can choose to be as frightened as you want but here's how I compare this with a lot of medical professionals who might be overly cautious for one reason or another.

    Take your car to the dealer or a big expensive chain of repair shops and I'm sure he will find thousands of dollars worth of repairs. No doubt whatsoever that if your vehicle has 30,000 miles on it you could probably replace every part and there would be at least some benefit to each procedure. There are dangers everywhere not just from Coronavirus. Would you be safer if you never left your house for the rest of your life? Sure you would. Would you be safer if you never drove over 30 miles an hour or if you wore a crash helmet along with your safety harness in the car? The odds of getting shot on the beach are pretty slim but a Kevlar vest would add an extra layer of safety right?
