FACTS - it HAS helped and saved lives, for MANY. Studies HAVE shown it to be life saving and effective for many people.

YES, it has had studies showing the negative.

But I said from the get go that it should only be given via a doctors orders and to be under their advisement and such, exactly what Trump is doing with his doctor daily.

And then this nitwit, who the F is he to say otherwise, and to outright claim Trump is lying? When others are doing similarly around the world? They have GOT to always claim he's lying or wrong.

My few comments in red.

Joe Scarborough: Trump 'is not taking hydroxychloroquine'

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough speculated that President Trump is lying about taking hydroxychloroquine to help prevent contracting the coronavirus.

The president has repeatedly touted the anti-malarial medication, which has not shown substantial evidence of preventing or treating COVID-19. However, some of the medical experts assisting in the White House's response have demurred on his praise of the drug, considering the lack of clear proof that it can help coronavirus patients.

Trump announced on Monday he's been taking the medication for a couple of weeks, and the White House physician later said they decided the "potential benefit from treatment outweighed the relative risks."

The next morning, the host and namesake of Morning Joe accused the president of lying about taking the drug.

"But when the president of the United States actually says he’s doing something which, let me assure you, he is not doing — let me assure you, the president of the United States is not taking hydroxychloroquine," he began.

Oh, well since he assures us, and twice no less. While it's helped others, saved lives & folks taking it proactively have done just fine, let me assure you that it's different with Trump, and he and his doctor are lying.

Scarborough also said that during the only time they ate a meal together, the president appeared to be fixated on "compulsively" cleaning his hands.

"In all the time that I knew him, I only sat for one meal with him," he explained. "Before that meal, he had wipes like this high and would go through the wipes, compulsively, and wipe his hands, sanitize his hands before eating anything."

So, he knows all of this from ONE mean with him. So he's a germaphobe. If anything, to me, this would lean more towards him wanting to take a medication to help prevent from getting sick and getting these germs. But at that one meal, cleaning his hands many times, somehow means that he is lying about taking a medication years later.

"So he is not taking something that his own administration has said will kill you," he continued. "That his own FDA said will kill you. That the [Department of Veterans Affairs] said will kill you. ... That’s what doctors will say, too. The FDA said, take it if you’re in the hospital or take it if you’re in a closely watched clinical trial. But, don’t take it unless you’re under those two circumstances. So the president is not taking it, and yet, and yet, he’s telling Americans that they should take it."

His administration has NOT outright told people it "will kill you". Maybe one uninformed person... And the sick folks with malaria and lupus... they have all been outright being killed if they take this medication? Or is it somehow less lethal if you have lupus? Puhlease. So just shut the F up joey boy, and take Mickey with you, please.
