Earlier quoted context omitted.

> The FDA has moved mountains... be put in use IMMEDIATELY The FDA didn't really have to do anything. Doctors could prescribe it for off-label use already.

The president really shouldn’t write this stuff in his twitter though: https://www.scmp.com/news/world/africa/article/3076240/coron... Coronavirus: Nigeria reports chloroquine poisonings after Donald Trump touts antimalarial drug as treatment

That article is trying so hard. Way too hard. Any drug can kill you if you overdose it. If I remember right, 400 mg is the prescribed dosage. They are trying to make it seem that it can overdose easily but nope - at least 2g is needed to overdose. I can smell their bias in their reporting, they are trying to make the President look bad.

It's going to end up killing people. Chloroquine is nasty stuff and irresponsible to be hawking...pharmaceuticals can cause as much damage as they can prevent! There is no clinical basis and Trump continues to hawk it ultimately because he is so vested in hotels and hospitality and is more focused on financial damage control of his own investments than the health and safety of the American people.

I really don't get where this comes from. It's a generic drug that's been used for 70 years all over the world in tens of thousands of patients to treat malaria. It's already standard of care in China and South Korea where the recovery rates are high and the death rate is low. I think your extreme Donald Trump hatred is clouding your judgement.
