Here it is. The smoking gun. Trump and @SecWilkie used dying vets as guinea pigs. “For more than two weeks in April, a drug regimen that included hydroxychloroquine was routinely dispensed at the struggling center, often for patients who had not been tested for covid-19” https://twitter.com/washingtonpost/status/1280579789468905477
“Though precise estimates vary, the state Department of Military and Veterans Affairs said about 30 residents received the drug. Several nursing home staff members placed the number higher.”
“The Chester County coroner, who reviewed the medical records for some of those who died, said at least 11 residents who had received the hydroxychloroquine treatment had not been tested for covid-19.”
Trump and @SecWilkie have consistently pushed magic bullet solutions—and hydroxychloroquine specifically—despite warnings of risk. Check #WhereIsWilkie for many of the highlights from the last few months. It’s outrageous, disgusting—and possibly criminal.
A scandal like this would bring down most presidencies. This one is hoping you won’t even notice. We need immediate Congressional investigations and swift accountability. Jail time for anyone who knew about a single preventable death. And if appropriate, articles of impeachment.
Who in Congress will step up? It’s an opportunity for both parties to finally show some spine—and focus on the one issue that should unite them. And could be perfect for veterans like @SenDuckworth & @SenJoniErnst to combine on. America is watching.
