Did the chloroquine or COVID kill him? Did he even have COVID? Feel like this might be "tourniquet kills trauma victim", not sure though.

Stop with the disinfo: "A man has died and his wife is under critical care after the couple, both in their 60s, ingested chloroquine phosphate," No uncertainty here. Trump killed this man, and possibly will have killed his wife.

Seems like the pharmacist is more liable since they should have given him the proper safe dosage.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Do you have an exact quote from the president where he recommends that the public obtain and self medicate with chloroquine? Or have you significantly altered his statements for your own political agenda?

He said doctors can administer it under new FDA guidance.

He didn't say "drink an additive commonly used at aquariums to clean fish tanks."

I don't see why every story needs to be about him.

A quick skim of the article does not show any quote stating you should self medicate. There are quotes misrepresenting which stage of approval it is in.

The repeated recommendation to use a drug which has not been properly tested by the president of the most powerful nation on this planet seems inappropriate to me.

Apparently the man and his wife ingested aquarium grade chloroquine. http://bannerhealth.mediaroom.com/chloroquinephosphate

It says that it is commonly used in aquariums. I made the same mistake in my comment below.

Exact quote regarding a drug not approved by the FDA for treatment of the disease: "We’re going to be able to make that drug available almost immediately." And: "It may work, it may not work. I feel good about it. That’s all it is. Just a feeling."

From a pharmaceutical company, this would be patently illegal advertising since it's mentioning an off-label use of a drug. From a politician with zero medical knowledge, it's vastly irresponsible given the size of audience who listens to him and trusts him.

Why not link directly to the banner health page? This article seems to be needlessly political given the drop of Trump's name. I'd gladly dive into an article about the president's rhetoric and its effects on public health, but this story is better served by the linked article ( http://bannerhealth.mediaroom.com/chloroquinephosphate ) which also explains how the couple may have aquired such a dangerous chemical, whic…

"Needlessly?" When the authority figure with the biggest microphone in the country starts promoting off-label drug use in response to a national emergency?

Just stop.

So everything below him explicitly telling everyone to obtain and consume chloroquine doesn't count, right? He's the goddamn president. I expect his words to be very carefully weighted.

We all made fun of South Africa's Thabo Mbeki when he recommended beetroot, garlic and other herbs to combat HIV. Turns out, we have no reason. It did happen here, on primetime TV.
