GD it. More Americans harmed by the fact that Trump doesn't deal in science or facts. Some people legitimately need Hydroxychloroquine. Right now there is no solid evidence that it does anything for COVID-19. But since Trump can't keep his pie hole shut about stuff he has no idea about, people are getting harmed.
How many Americans does this POTUS need to directly harm before we acknowledge competence matters?
EDIT TO ADD: Unsurprisingly, as this drug is used more, serious health issues occur with people taking it. This is why clinical trials need to be done to understand benefits vs risks.
"France reported 43 cases of heart incidents linked to treating coronavirus patients with hydroxychloroquine, the malaria drug President Donald Trump has repeatedly touted as a potential "game changer.""

News flash. Trump is not a physician, he does not prescribe Hydroxychloroquine. If you have an issue with the use of Hydroxychloroquine, take it up with the doctors prescribing this medication to COVID 19 patients.

Dunning–Kruger? The FDA, as you know, has approved chloroquine for off-label use of treating the coronavirus. Which 'experts are you referring to? The ones that simply say - we do not have enough data to make a sound judgment as they watch people die?

"There are no drugs or other therapeutics approved by the US Food and Drug Administration to prevent or treat COVID-19."
https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/hcp/therapeutic-options.html
Likely they retracted it because just like all the other times, they found serious issues.

SPC Kevin Ford - There is no provider alive that will keep a license making decisions base off Presidential new conferences and if you think there are, you better be checking party cards of the providers you see.

MAJ Byron Oyler - I'm amazed that you can say that working in the healthcare industry. If it is legal to provide, we will find a doctor somewhere that will prescribe it, and keep their licenses. Just in my personal experience I've seen good doctors and I've seen shitty ones that make decisions for apparently shitty reasons.

I am seeing a lot of these kids of stories.
But let us consider for a moment. For a patient to receive this drug, it requires a prescription. No ethical doctor is going to prescribe something for a patient that does not have a problem and simply wants it on hand. Now it is possible, maybe even probable that the normal supply chain for this drug is under duress due to demand, much like it is for PPE. But the answer is for the makers of the drug to make more, not trot out a sob story about how a patient can't get it because orange man bad.
Bullshit.
If anyone is responsible, it would be doctors for over-prescribing it. And if this helps people survive Covid, that is a win. I have seen several stories about how this has been helpful, even life-saving for Covid patients. So let's let doctors do their jobs and keep politics out of it.

In that same sentence: "... the Post noted his trusts may have amassed other investments since his most recent disclosure. “He does look to have more than that modest sum invested in Sanofi, because, unmentioned in the Times report, his trusts also hold broader European stock-market index funds,” MarketWatch pointed out." Several other articles have more details.
To be fair, it is hard to figure out how much of an issue this is, though clearly it's far more than that initial disclosure report indicates, in itself a concerning problem. That's why there's such drive to find out more about his financial holdings. There is a long history of his holdings being underreported, or reported only selectively.

Who, exactly, do you think the president is? He is a lot of things, and his notoriety/reputation for making even the smallest buck (cent), if possible, was legendary, long before he ever became the President.

In 1990, Spy magazine pulled the best prank ever on Donald Trump
The real estate mogul even managed to profit from it.

Capt Gregory Prickett - I didn’t notice; but I can’t say I’m surprised. I did have the foresight to take a screen grab of his SF/Fulbright/Professor emeritus claim...just in case he deleted it.
