While I do value scientific method, I hate corporate marketing. Have you ever listened to the mice print in drug ads? The push for any drug manufactured by giant corporations isn't always about the "greater good", but most certainly about profits. I hate the drug ads that say, "may cause death". How about getting the product right first?
Even talcum powder has been recalled because manufactures failed to disclose the risk of certain types of cancer. Antacids too.
But same with any product marketing. Vaping is NOT a safe alternative to smoking. But this is the same type of corporate marketing big tobacco used. "Light cigarettes" are not safer than full flavor. And removing led from gas, while it reduced some health issues, it still does not change the fact our planet needs to move away from burning fossil fuels.
And that corporate rant applies to what I said in what way?
Antacids, talcum powder, vaping, and fossil fuels...have not a damn thing to do with the topic of using Hydroxychloroquine for the treatment of Covid-19 and my choice of not wanting to take something that is proven to be detrimental to cardiac patients.
