Man Dies, Wife Critical From Chloroquine After Hearing Trump Tout

Moral of the story: Learn the difference between Hydroxychloroquine (medicine) and Chloroquine Phosphate (fish tank cleaner)
and don't take medical advice from uneducated ignorant Dim posters.
Better to not take any drugs or chemicals that are not recommended by a doctor unless approved by others legitimate sources. Trump, of course, is an illegitimate source.

How to use Chloroquine Phosphate
Take this medication by mouth, usually with food to prevent stomach upset, exactly as directed by your doctor. Daily or weekly dosing, dosage amount, and length of treatment are based on your medical condition, on whether you are preventing or treating the illness, and your response to treatment. The dosage in children is also based on weight.
 
I didn't offer medical advice, your president did.

I only take medical advice from doctors.

These old people were foolish to experiment with chemicals, based on what Trump and his boot licking internet supporters said.

Trump should not be out there offering his medical advice. The office of the presidency can confer a lot of credibility on the statements of an induvidual holding the office.

Less savvy and confused individuals might put a lot of stock based on what a president and Fox News pundits say. My take is that this dead old guy was a Trump voter who was credulous and fully prepared to believe anything Trump says.

We should be prepared to accept that there are people in our society who are not well educated or savvy, they are not going to understand chemical formulation in commercial products. And I do not believe a president's job is to disseminate false or misleading scientific information.

Dodging your own uninformed error, eh? :palm:
So, educated people discussing a disease using correct medical and scientific terminology should have to dumb it down for those like you and
others who speak and/or act before looking up the terminology to know what the hell you are speaking about or acting upon or responding to? :palm:

And, Trump never touted Chloroquine Phosphate. Discussions of Hydroxychloroquine as a possible treatment had already been in
many news articles previously because of its success rate against malaria. And, evidently the couple didn't heed the warnings on
the tank cleaner jar either. There would have been other ingredients in that cleaner as well that didn't help matters.
(calcium chloride, magnesium chloride, sodium chloride, potassium chloride)
They claimed that they noticed that Chloroquine Phosphate was ONE of the ingredients...so they went for it.

HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE & AZITHROMYCIN, taken together, have a real chance to be one of the biggest game changers in the history of medicine. The FDA has moved mountains - Thank You! Hopefully they will BOTH (H works better with A, International Journal of Antimicrobial Agents).....

Potassium Chloride is commonly used in lethal injections, Ms. Stretch.
 
Hello Sirthinksalot,

Hi Politalker,

These two people were clearly idiots. The guy would have found some other stupid way to cause his own demise if not for this.

You don't know that at all. Saying such a thing is in pretty bad taste. Hopefully his family will never hear anything like that.
 
The surviving wife says she is regretful they were stupid enough to listen to Trump, and says not to believe anything he says

There is no way that Trump told them to go to the local aquarium store, buy some fish medication, take it after self-diagnosing coronavirus before they were sick. These folks are special in their own way.

You are responding to what you wish I said, rather than what I actually said

I am giving the actual documented path that this person took as listed in the story you provided and giving an educated opinion on the circumstances and actual specialness of the self-victimized idiot.
 
You just made it, kid.
" Just you know, I did not read a word and I almost never pay attention to you.

My writing must be really interesting to you. Even though I rarely read or respond to you, you seem to really like to read my posts. IMO, nothing says "loser" more than the internet dunce who follows someone around, reads their posts, and writes to them even knowing they are being ignored, overlooked, and bypassed. "
There you go;) Do you support the creepy creepster? No shock there;)

Pathetic, kid. Keep it up! :)
 
Wait for the scripted (creepy) response;)

As hard as it is to believe, this is actually a new low for these people. I kinda thought Cypress was a little better than that, but then again I used to think the same thing about Owl. Unfortunately, these people are just pure scumbags, that's about the nicest way I can put it. It's sad really.
 
It looks like it's very unlikely that Trump had anything to do with this since I don't think Trump mentioned it back in February. The media is a much more likely candidate for running stories on fish tank cleaner on March 19..


Sellers on eBay and other websites hiked prices in March, and buyers were willing to shell out large amounts of cash for the substance, Storyful found. The listings indicated that the product wasn’t meant for human consumption.

Between Feb. 25 and March 2, the price paid for a single 25-gram bottle of chloroquine phosphate rose from $9.99 to over $500.

So who was hyping this Between Feb. 25 and March 2?? Not Trump
