How many deaths caused by the mindless devotion to a charlatan without morals, decency or empathy?

The selfishness, foolishness and stupidity of the guy who hoped hydroxychloroquine was a cure for his own political good is now just another debunked obvious falsehood among his thousands of lies.
Trump is the worst, dumbest president, in the history of the United States of America.

A surprising new study found that the controversial antimalarial drug hydroxychloroquine helped Covid-19 patients better survive in the hospital.

Whether hydroxychloroquine is safe or not, it's ridiculous that a crazy amount of resources was directed at that, not because of it's apparent efficacy, but because Trump wanted to pretend that Coronavirus wasn't a problem - as he was worried about it crashing his fragile economy - so he politicized hydroxychloroquine as a potential cure.
So now the world has dedicated an inordinate amount resources at looking whether this political issue is even valid or not, instead of using data to allocate resources in a non-political manner.
Just one more example of Trump's inteptitude as a president, and why Americans are very clearly stating en masse that they think he is pathetic and unqualified, and that even Biden is not just a better option, but an EXTREMELY better option.

Well, this just surprises the heck out of me - I thought our Dear President said this hydro stuff would cure the virus. I've been taking it for a month and except for the retching and paralysis, feel great - and it gives my skin this nice orange glow...
Well, I guess we'll have to go back to the old Trump-recommended standbys; injecting disinfectant and having Pastor Copeland come "blow the virus away"....

Who cares what WHO says at this point?

What charlatan? The CCP's lying and deception has caused hundreds of thousands of deaths.

Yeah, keep repeating that lie. No, even better, watch that whole press conference so you can understand he never suggested that.

all the hydroxychloroquine studies in one place. nearly all are good and show it works. Especially when taken early. Of course the WHO doesnt want anyone knowing that.

Can do better than that - here's the direct quote;
"And then I see the disinfectant where it knocks it out in a minute. One minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning? "So it'd be interesting to check that."
What a joke - some fake site without any attribution or identity.
Maybe you should look at the New England Journal of Medicine;
CONCLUSIONS
*In this observational study involving patients with Covid-19 who had been admitted to the hospital, hydroxychloroquine administration was not associated with either a greatly lowered or an increased risk of the composite end point of intubation or death.*

But, hey, keep taking (and paying) for it if you want...but you'd save a lot of money and be much safer from the virus by just buying and wearing a mask...
Just ask those "Anti-Americans" Pence, McConnell, and Hannity...

You're confusing them with Pelosi, Schumer and Schiff....

Nope, not according to the Trump supporter below;
Wonder if Melania wears a mask....

You didn't do what I told you to do. All you did was take one quote out of the entire relevant segment of that press conference. Only an idiot who watched that entire segment would think Trump was suggesting injecting disinfectant into yourself. I'll give you one more chance - in fact I'll make it as easy for you as I can - watch this video and then come back here if comments aren't disabled, lol, and tell me you STILL think Trump suggested people inject disinfectant into themselves:

Well yeah. But I suspect most of the CNN believers here never watched the entire segment, they just take their talking points from the fake media.
About hydroxychloroquine, I understand that so far all studies that look at it it in the right context (taken early and in combination with zinc) show positive results, while those studies that show no results use it the way it is not supposed to be used (late, and without zinc). Guess which studies the fake media keep referring to.
