Hijack from Consequences of Trump's Covid Condition?


Charles 3781

Recommended Posts

If politics intrudes into science and devastates public health, scientists need to speak up. Silence also has consequences.

Of course this more a broader comment and not specific to this forum as obviously it is a somewhat limited platform. But we have seen how misinformation caused thousands of unnecessary deaths.

Thank goodness this a science forum without any political views intruding on it

Thank goodness participation is entirely voluntary and you’re free to ignore it. But by all means, feel free to continue littering every thread you post in with off-topic drivel so that voluntary option is removed entirely from your account.

I haven't posted a crude cartoon, on this scientific forum,  of President Trump looking at graves of Covid victims. You have.

That looks like off-topic politically-biased drivel.  Don't you think?

Perhaps you should consider your position.

Don't you have anything better to do than annoy everyone?

Stephen Miller, bald racist ghoul who used to work as Jeff Sessions chief of staff and who’s now a key adviser to Trump that’s considered the architect of kids in cages / alligators in moats at the border and other similar “whites are better than everyone else” policies is now also covid positive. 

iNow,  What you're  posting makes you sound  a bit mental.

He made many public statements that cost many people's lives...

"Man Dead From Taking Chloroquine Product After Trump Touts Drug For Coronavirus"

 

http://bannerhealth.mediaroom.com/chloroquinephosphate

"PHOENIX (March 23, 2020) – Medical toxicologists and emergency physicians are warning the public against the use of inappropriate medications and household products to prevent or treat COVID-19. In particular, Banner Health experts emphasize that chloroquine, a malaria medication, should not be ingested to treat or prevent this virus.

“Given the uncertainty around COVID-19, we understand that people are trying to find new ways to prevent or treat this virus, but self-medicating is not the way to do so,” said Dr. Daniel Brooks, Banner Poison and Drug Information Center medical director. “The last thing that we want right now is to inundate our emergency departments with patients who believe they found a vague and risky solution that could potentially jeopardize their health.”

A man has died and his wife is under critical care after the couple, both in their 60s, ingested chloroquine phosphate, an additive commonly used at aquariums to clean fish tanks. Within thirty minutes of ingestion, the couple experienced immediate effects requiring admittance to a nearby Banner Health hospital. 

Most patients who become infected with COVID-19 will only require symptomatic care and self-isolation to prevent the risk of infecting others. Check first with a primary care physician. The routine use of specific treatments, including medications described as ‘anti-COVID-19’, is not recommended for non-hospitalized patients, including the anti-malarial drug chloroquine.

“We are strongly urging the medical community to not prescribe this medication to any non-hospitalized patients,” said Dr. Brooks."

iNow,  I respect your intelligence,  but  you do seem to think that "off-topic" means anything you don't personally agree with.

Comments like this present a challenge to my ability to respect yours

The topic is "Consequences of Trump's Covid Condition." How is your statement related to that topic?

As the initiator of this thread I would note that at least the contributions of @Charles 3781 , in their  deflection from the topic, disregard of sound medical advice, defence of the indefensible, and promotion of dangerous and deadly solutions, mirrors what we can continue to expect from Trump. So in that sense he provides an ongoing reminder of the thread's protagonist.
