Where did you go to medical school?
There is no evidence that those drugs are "life-saving"
with respect to conoravirus. All that Trump's dipshittery
has done here is cause a run on them, so that the people
who actually NEED them for things that they're known to
work for (like Lupus) can't get them. And then people
will take them and possibly kill themselves.
But the illogic scenario is this: 100 people get COVID-19
and with no pharmacological intervention, on average 1 of
them will die as a result. 99 will live.
Now, 100 people will get COVID-19 and take Dr Trump's
magical snake oil. On average, 1 will still die of COVID-19
or its complications. Another will die from the side
effects of said snakeoil. But now 98 will walk around
claiming that they were cured! by Dr Trump.
Without an actual study to show the efficacy of the drug,
that's how it happens.
AT> She kept insisting: "You don't know what the side-effects will be like
AT> for the patients." & Trump was like "Well I know that one side-effect is
AT> living instead of dying."
The president of the American Medical Association disagrees
with the guy who started a fake university. Who are you
going to side with?
