I'll believe it when Dr Fauci says it's effective. So, nope. I'm not taking anything that isn't recommended for coronavirus. Not.

New York hospitals have been prescribing hydroxychloroquine to every incoming patient admitted due to Covid-19 symptoms. They reported 730 deaths yesterday, a new record. So, where does this faith in that treatment come from? Trump? Really?

Everytime stump speaks he is just using the opportunity to sell stock in companies he or his fucked up friends are personally invested in. How is this legal? Our so called leader is a fucking joke and all the other elected idiots in Washington are the stinky unwiped ass of that really really bad joke. We need change and we need it now!

Both sides are guilty of Trump dichotomy. It's not about refusing the medicine because one doesn't support Trump, or taking it prior to clinical trial because one does support Trump. Just follow the advice of your doctor and if that means taking hydroxychloroquine, then take it. Don't follow Trump's medical advice just because Trump said it.

Removing the nuance in this way does a disservice to all. The CCP and Trump are equally culpible for the pandemic's spread.
