Fo clarity: Trump is not a scientist. Hes a moron who,like most morons, is too stupid to know hes stupid.

...there is minimal research to suggest it MIGHT decrease viral load in SOME who are SEVERELY sick. MDs using it already saying it doesn’t even do that, but that’s more anecdote. But, even the minimal research would mean it does nothing unless you’re very sick, hospitalized.../2
...and a doctor will give it to you based on the most recent research - which is now indicating it doesn’t work even for reducing viral load long term.
Why not take it, as Dimwit Don says? One, because it can kill you. Two, because it’s a goddamn IMMUNOSUPRESSANT - yes, it../3

...SUPPRESSES you immune system, just what you want to use to PREVENT an infection. (No, it isn’t.) So why would anyone even TEST the effect of an immunosuppressant on someone with COVID-19? Because there are respiratory viruses like the one that causes COVID that..../4
...lead to an immune system response that attacks the lungs. In other words, it is the body’s reaction to these other viruses that causes breakdown of lung tissue. So maybe, it was thought, and immunosuppressant might do something in people ALREADY infected with COVID..../5
...so, what’s the worst that can happen? Yo could died from a heart attack. Second worst? You could increase your chance of getting infected ( which is 10,000 times more probable than that it has a biologically impossible ability to ward off COVID).../6
...third worst? That you contribute to the national shortage of this drug which is used by people with lupus, rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune diseases, and so the ones who need it can’t get it, leaving them in horrific pain because we have an idiot for a president.../7
...so, for GODS sake, stop listening to this idiot. He is looking for a miracle cure based on garbage he hears on TV & Twitter. If you trust Trump more than doctors, then use him for your next surgery. But stop making a pandemic worse by using drugs recommended by a moron.
