Hydroxychloroquine

It's a hard 'no' for me, thanks.  It isn't proven effective for the treatment of Covid-19 but is proven to be detrimental to people with cardiac issues.  I am one of those people.

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.

Message boards like this one have things called ‘topics’, Brian. How is Trump pushing a drug for an unapproved use remotely the same topic as corporate marketing, talcum powder, antacids, vaping, or (Bog preserve us) fossil fuels?

And before you snap like a kite string in a hurricane, this is NOT an attempt to keep you from expressing an opinion. Start new threads - you like doing that.
