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.""

1SG (Join to see) Capt Gregory Prickett - This goes back to why the standard has been for the POTUS to put his assets in a blind trust and why many of us were concerned when he didn't. Is it a coincidence? Is he doing it to make money? We don't really know for sure. But this, along with many, many other similar incidents, creates the appearance of impropriety which is never a good thing.

As far as potential conflict yea, Trump, just like Obama doesn't/didn't have a blind trust but for very different reasons. But if people wanna bash Trump there are plenty of other reasons.

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.
