Trump claims to be taking Hydroxochloroquine

[Mountain Man]

You said this

and is not safe to take in ANY quantity.

Bleach, according to this very message, is safe to take in *small* quantities. So by your own definition it does not qualify as a poison.

Outside of that here's a medicinal property of bleach

To save time, here's the definition of medicinal

(of a substance or plant) having healing properties.

And how often do doctors recommend injecting Clorox into your blood?

Come on, man!

You claimed the problem with what Biden said was that he was comparing taking a medication to taking a poison. We've now established that bleach doesn't fit your definition of a poison in two different ways.

Right, specifically injecting Clorox into your blood.

Come on, man!

Unfortunately for you, you defined 'poison' in this thread (twice!). No backsies.

Find just one reputable doctor who has ever recommended injecting Clorox into your blood, and I will declare you king of the thread.

Come on, man!

There's a good chance if Trump told his doctor he wanted it, his doctor would have said "okay sire, whatever you want, just please, don't fire me."

Yes like a doctor couldn’t find a job elsewhere.

New study involving 96,000 covid infected patients shows no benefit and actual risk of harm for those taking Hydroxvchloroquine.. The death rate for those taking the the drug, either by itself or in combination with other anti-virals was 1 in 5 as opposed to those who didn't take Hydroxy, wherein the death rate was only 1 in 11. And you really believe Trumps doctor prescribed it to him, and that Trump has actually been taking it? He's either more of a narcisistic nincompoop than I thought, or he'a a blatant liar. Oh wait, we already know the latter is true. My guess is the latter in this case.

He may have been prior to the study, and he's taking it prophylactically, for which there is no data.

He may be taking it, but even I don't take him to be that stupid. And I doubt that his doctor is actually stupid enough to prescibe it to him either. But, we do know that he is an unabashed liar and will lie about anything in order to push an agenda.

This article doesn't sound trustworthy since it still suggests Remdesivir -- where the study is being altered to cover up the deaths from it.

First off Remdesivir was bot part of the study, it's an alternative. And, as a Bill Gates conspiracy theorist, I can only imagine where where you're getting your info concerning Remdesivir.

The https://clinicaltrials.gov. Is that a honeypot for people who make up data?

Don't go there though. The site is too conspiratorial for your taste.

Good for you Mike. Now, what's your conspiracy theory?

[Leonhard]

I think this case is a good point to show that politicians should get their scientific facts from scientists and doctors. That way Trump could always blame them if they were wrong, but now that he's personally touted hydroxychloroquine as a treatment, he has to double down on it. Not smart.

But I don't understand why people are still talking about it.
