The only reason people are against this cocktail of drugs is because Trump said he liked it.

I'll be absolutely ecstatic if the drug cocktail works.

All I know is someone is presenting hope based on hope not science but I guess some people need hope of a miracle cure-all.

No. It’s because he has no **** clue what he’s talking about and his pushing this cocktail as an imaginative cure to COVID.

“Im not a doctor but I have common sense”

Give me a break.

What in Trump’s history would suggest that he should be trusted on this?

I know people want this to be something...but there is a high likelihood it’s benefit is minimal.

Pharmacologically it doesn’t make sense. I hope it has significant benefit but I’m not optimistic
You said it was promising only two days ago, did something change your mind?
There is some promise in the sense that there’s anecdotal evidence it might work. But pharmacologically it would be very outside of what we would expect it to do.

And when I say promising, I view it more as a therapy to keep people from dying not necessarily curing the disease

I’d trust it when the leading doctors say there’s enough evidence that it works.

Considering Fauci said there’s no evidence yet to suggest one way or the other, it seems foolish doing the “just try it route.”

It leads to people to think "they have a cure so we don't have to worry about it."

Should a president be pushing an unproven drug treatment?

Seems like we shouldn’t assume tds explains everything

It’s why essential oils and Herbalife products can thrive. Snake oil is back on the menu.

Tif is obviously against it or doesn’t think it will work, which means it will actually work. That’s all you need to know.

Grunty is still mad that tif rightfully pointed out that you cannot write in a presidential candidate in Oklahoma.

No. You can on an special absentee ballet, otherwise the vote just for that race isn’t counted. So why would I be mad about that?


Tif should be mad about constantly being wrong about everything.

You mean a military or overseas ballot, neither of which you would have had? I suppose it’s easy to always be right when you refuse to acknowledge when you’re wrong.
