A well put together plan for reopening a state, complete with copious links to more details.

Governor Baker's team did a good job.

How much you wanna bet that motherfucker ain’t taking hydroxychloroquime or what ever that malaria snake oil is called. My daughter takes it as Plaquenil for MCTD.

Trump is just trying to pump stock.

They’d worry about it complicating his regular enormous drug intake.

The guy seems more cracked out than a Nazi in a bunker.

They just spit on an altiod and give it to him, telling him it’s the medicine he wants.

Trump’s new coronavirus vaccine czar owns $10 million in stock options in company developing vaccine, with Moderna receiving hundreds of millions in fed money.

Btw, the Right has really learned how to game the media.  They can use their echo chamber of propaganda sites to keep whatever they want in the news for a long time (Benghazi!, emails, etc).  While they just crank out some new distraction to switch the storyline in the mainstream media.  Encourage armed idiots to threaten state gov't, Fire an IG, Obamagate!, Wuhan lab responsible for COVID-19, etc.  And then when that new storyline looks like a loser or plays out, just line up another distraction.  Cynical and effective.

Well “ used to own” since  he divested the options.
But, so what?  Aren’t you rooting for a successful vaccine?

Our hopes are with China and maybe Europe or Latin America (remember the Llama!), because of what trump has broken.

He has really ushered in a post American order with all that he continues to flush away.

No one trusts trump, his subservient party, or the bulk of the US business community to differentiate their asses from their elbows or to ever even consider doing the right thing.

Hope trump is gone and the republicans with him when a vaccine comes along, so that it has any chance to get to the American people.

On the one hand he actually gave a shit about intelligence oversight and took his responsibility seriously, on the other hand a Democrat in that seat will improve the Senate.

No, he hasn't yet. He has announced that he will.

After they have already jumped up 20% with today's news.

I am sure you think that's a coincidence.

[Yankguy1]

Apparently he's going to give whatever the amount he's made during the run-up to charity.

So what?

Are you really this fucking stupid and immune to the massive problems (legal, ethical medical, etc) that conflict of interest represents to both the public interest and finding the best vaccine?

No need to answer Red, that was a rhetorical question, based on the fact-based belief you are that fucking stupid and indifferent to the massive corruption and self-dealing of the Trump administration.

And the czar at first denied there was a conflict, and then said he would divest the options.

fast-tracking a vaccine you have options on,

nice.

nope no conlict at all.


You really are a piece of shit.

Fuckin anecdotes...

Shame on the doctor who had to be asked by this patient to try the drug

How many have died without ever being put on HCQ?

A brief excerpt to whet your intellectual appetite...

   The drugs can cause dangerous abnormalities in heart rhythm in virus patients, the F.D.A. warned, saying that they should be used only in clinical trials or hospitals where patients can be closely monitored for heart problems.

And on Monday a doctor overseeing a national trial said that he agreed.

“There are no data that pre-exposure prophylaxis is effective to prevent coronavirus,” Dr. David Boulware of the University of Minnesota, who is overseeing a national trial to test whether hydroxychloroquine can prevent infections, said in a statement. “It may be. It may not be. We do not know. The only way I would recommend taking hydroxychloroquine is within a clinical trial.” 

...

" I think it’s a very bad idea to be taking hydroxychloroquine as a preventive medication,” said Dr. Eric Topol, a cardiologist and the director of the Scripps Research Translational Institute in La Jolla, Calif. “There are no data to support that, there’s no evidence, and in fact there is no compelling evidence to support its use at all at this point.”

Dr. Topol said that the risk of developing a potentially fatal arrhythmia because of hydroxychloroquine could come without warning and did not happen only in people with heart conditions. “We can’t predict that; in fact, it can happen in people who are healthy,” he said. “It could happen in anyone.”

Dr. David Maron, a cardiologist and the chief of the Stanford Prevention Research Center, said in an interview that in his opinion “the risk-benefit ratio doesn’t make sense.”   

Like FACILITAT said,  it's probably an Altoid they're handing him.
