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.

"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."

How bizarre. Scarborough really has taken the crazy train into the TDS wasteland. I have never heard anyone ever say that this "WILL KILL YOU!" except Scarborough. The drug has been around for ~60 years and has been taken by millions of people. They did not die from it. Scarborough has become a crazy parody of himself. "Trump cannot be taking hydroxychloroquine, because if he really was he would be dead by now."

Not only is Joe on the crazy train, but he is taking it off the rails.

He's just taking his passengers where they want to go.

Hydroxychloroquine was approved for medical use in the United States in 1955.[2] It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines, the safest and most effective medicines needed in a health system.[7] In 2017, it was the 128th most commonly prescribed medication in the United States, with more than five million prescriptions.[8][9]

So, according to Crazy Joe II the FDA approved and a doctor prescribed a drug to the President which is essentially poison, as deadly as anthrax, and WILL KILL YOU! But of course we have to remember that Scarborough knows more about medicines than the FDA and more than any doctor.
