I honestly think if Trump told people penicillin cured infection, some people with infections would rather die than take it.
Good thing he doesn't think that.

Heart care and urology isn’t infectious diseases. A Doc was on F&M from Brigham who is an infectious disease guy. Said the malaria drug IS NOT working as good as people are being led to believe.
Never underestimate the ineptitude of a communist nation. Christ, the Soviets lied about Chernobyl and things could have been much different had they come clean. They were inept and moronic and it got thousands killed. Problem is most people can’t fathom how a communist government really works. They think China is just like us. They are not. I am leaning towards the natural occurrence until proven otherwise but damn I can’t shake the idea about the lab.
The single study that said (guy with hands at side palms up emoji) "meh it might work," once you looked at it, had really dismal findings. I mean it would be great but we've already got 2 dead self medicators, one here and one abroad, based on this silliness. That's why you do drug trials.
I don’t believe anything coming out that isn’t precisely tested under a control group. Even the malaria drug isn’t proving to the cure all the Prez hinted it would be.
Again, under promise, over deliver. That message seems to be lost on the Prez and many others.
Is there any evidence?
That is very important when trying to prove an assertion.
I'm with your "leaning toward" my ownself. Looks like there's one big reason the think China cooked it up in the lab, and it's a psychological need not a data-driven case.
Bingo. I get it people are tired of this already. No bars. No restaurants. No FUN. F it, maybe for us ex .mil guys this “downtime” is actually quite relaxing lol. This is why I am not jumping at every report about some blah blah test or blah blab drug. It usually takes between 12-18 months for a vaccine I believe. **** needs to be tested, tested and tested again. You do this because you don’t want people to die in 5 years just because you rushed a drug now.
He never said it was a cure. He clearly stated that it showed promise. As have many, many medical doctors. The ability for so many people who seem to be otherwise rational people to become so irrational when it comes to the President is mind boggling. Folks will believe any headline.
Watch the actual press conferences, the guy makes a joke and the press deliberately presents it as his belief all the time. For instance the other night with Dr Birx, when he jokingly ran away from her after she stated she was tested and then ultimately was negative. The press presented it as if he didn't know she was tested. And people believed that.
Without going into the in-depth politics, this situation does underscore why public figures should avoid sarcasm if they wish to get their message across.The press presented it as if he didn't know she was tested. And people believed that.
Okay I love Pluto and it's great that some of you guys have stock tips for the end times and ****, but how disappointing that we're just accepting. I guess the choices are pretty limited. This week we'll easily make the fivefold increase to 1,500.
In local Alexandria news, anybody who was at Murphy's, the DC area's legendary Patriots bar, on 3/10 6pm -2am (3/11).... 3/14, 11a - 6p.... and 3/15, 10a - 6p... Alexandria.gov says self-quarantine immediately.
Thank God it's the off-season.

... have no idea wtf you're talking about, and I watch the "fake news" all the time. Sounds like your favorite outlets are SAYING that everybody is up in arms about this running away from Birx thing, and in reality it's a bit story on some local news station or something.
In your mind, do you think the president is honest? I am curious.
************ my point exactly...I was simply using that as one example of how the media treats him.
I think he uses hyperbole, a lot and asking if a politician is honest might be the dumbest question I have ever read on here.
This isn't true. No reputable doctor would say that a drug has promise and might be available soon when there has only been only inclusive nonscientific test of 20 people.
The single study that said (guy with hands at side palms up emoji) "meh it might work," once you looked at it, had really dismal findings. I mean it would be great but we've already got 2 dead self medicators, one here and one abroad, based on this silliness. That's why you do drug trials.
it is how he treated the media...... no, it’s how he’s treated everyone who crosses him
he doesn’t deserve better
