likely 95% of them had not.... the other 5% are likely profiteering....off of Pharma approvals.... just a guess....I'd like to know one member of Congress who hasn't invested in a drug they allowed the FDA to approve.no??? just wondering what the generic name for it is.....? Is Trump promoting the generic brand name, or the name brand that he owns stock in? Inquiring minds want to know.....Really??? what is the generic name for it, I wonder?IF THE DRUG is of good use, he should have NOT advertised such from his bully pulpit, to the WHOLE WORLD.... and put a run on the drug and countries now all scrambling for it, making the price go up and up and up, and shortages occurring....IndIa stopped all shipments of the drug, because of Trump touting it and them wanting to hold back the rest of the world's orders, for themselves.There is no proof if it helps or kills you...
The drug in question has been on the market since 1955, when it was approved by the FDA, so yeah, we kind of know if it kills you.
This is the very reason the FDA gave approval for it to be prescribed for COVID 19. It may or may not be beneficial, but the likelihood of a bad side effect is very minimal. I also might add, doctors, particularly rheumatologists, have been prescribing this for decades for arthritis. The normal precautions will be followed before prescribing this drug(allergies, other medicines, underlying conditions, etc.)
There is absolutely no reason NOT to prescribe this to a person who has COVID 19 and is symptomatic as the potential risks are far outweighed by the potential benefits.
Gawd almighty, is Trump STUPID STUPID STUPID!
You are saying on one hand Trump is brilliant in pointing out this drug can help, but stupid on the other hand for saying it out loud so other countries can hoard the drug. Which is it? Maybe all of India is stupid too?
ccan you not comprehend, something so simple?
America First, right?
Just as bad as this:
Trump shipped 5 TONS of PPE, masks and gowns and N95 masks to CHINA....he authorized that...from what I have read.... ( I will look for a link and edit this post with link once I find it)
If there was another drug or two out there which companies have been working feverishly on, that shows even more promise than the one Trump broke or changed all laws on to get the FDA to temporarily release it for use, would you be upset that Trump chose this one that he is promoting? verses the ones that work BETTER on killing the virus progression in your body?
The drug is not covered by patent anymore. No massive profits to be made. Just people to be helped.
Are you kidding or something?
