So, like both of them?

Do you actually think humans of a left leaning political slant all operate like a monolithic unwavering unified bloc... like some sort of Borg hive mind? Because if you don't, then your comments about “the left” seem inactionable and silly.

I suppose you can choose not to see the obvious connection between the words of leaders and the actions of their followers... deciding instead to lament “the left” if that’s your prerogative.

In the same way increases in hate crimes against Asians are tied to his calling it the Chinese virus.

Please elaborate. Lots of personal attack. Little substance. Can/will you do better?

There you go again with that hateful bias. Lol

I think you're underplaying how power and influence works. Even if Trump owns zero dollars in that stock, he does get contributions, donations, and support from major players in the economy who do own controlling shares. Those people who will contribute via SuperPAC to his re-election... they can spend tens/hundreds of millions of dollars as a "thanks" to his talking up this one pharmaceutical... and that's a huge potential motivator whether he owns a million shares or zero in his own personal stock accounts.

I'd prefer if we could keep the medical side of this discussion and whether or not individual treatment options are effective in that other thread, but here's one summary for convenience: https://www.sciencealert.com/small-trial-found-antimalarial-is-not-effective-for-treating-coronavirus

It’s actually not, but we already have a different thread for that discussion (which you also just posted in)

We’ll know in 2-3 weeks based on new infection rates

Who would enforce them? Trump is the chief executive and the executive branch controls law enforcement. He and his justice department can simply ignore them. Then, the only recourse is for congress to impeach, and well... they already have and look at us now.

He's an insecure bully

It looks like any investment here is minuscule. Not likely related to his promotion of it. He may, however, have contacts with far larger stakes. Who knows. Who cares. Anyone taking medical advise from this huckster of a prez kinda deserves the Darwin Award.

Wow. Shocker. Lol

Except, no. This is another version of "there are no atheists in foxholes." It's obvious bullshit, and also totally off-topic.

You are aware that pharmaceutical companies can set the price on drugs, yeah? You know they could hike that price when demand surges, right? They haven't (in fact, they've cut the price), but you asked for a mechanism of profit and that's a pretty easy answer to share. I'm not saying this is happening. I'm not saying I have evidence. I'm not even saying I dislike Trump. Yet here you are acting like I just called your wife ugly or your child stupid. Stop being a snowflake. It was a passing comment... It wouldn't surprise me in the least if Trump had a financial motivation for mentioning this drug over and over then over again some more from his megaphone bully pulpit all while the medical experts surrounding him keep saying it's not helpful. If you disagree, super. It was a random comment.

Okay, snowflake

Quit being such a snowflake.

I'd wager money Trump has a monetary interest (or a close "friend" with an interest) in increasing sales of hydroxychlorquine. His cheerleading to me screams of stock price manipulation.

@MigL Given what the experts are saying, I suspect I’ll be happy if we make it 15 months without another outbreak

Or, use their brains to engineer smarter solutions to magnify their strength... pulleys, rollers, animals like oxen, etc.

There’s so much wrong in your post it’s hard to know where to start. There are multiple kinds of tests so you cannot generalize about them all. There may be a handful of false positives, but those are orders of magnitude lower than the number of infected who can never get tested at all.

I know plenty of women physically stronger than plenty of men. It seems other variables matter and not just birth sex.

Also, incompetent grifters as leaders

Will you please tell me which other forums you post on? If you see Charon as typical, then I’d very much like to go visit them. They sound wonderful!
