    The bigger problem is people don’t listen to what he says or his admin says ...and instead make up their own version...some call it parody some call it fake news

    You would expect the leftists to be on pins and needles, happier than murder hornets with Trump putting himself in this grave danger. :roflol:

    It's hilarious that you would use the word truth while speaking of Trump

    There is no need for a rebuttal when the article you provide to make a point does nothing towards that end.

    What you are saying really depends on the day you listen to. Like the weather, it changes every day.

    Yes, Trump's ass was weighed by Doctor Vinnie Boom Batz on April 1, 2015. It broke the scale but Trump said that was just a joke.

    No that wasn't what I was saying. I was saying that whether one is open to objectively looking at the possibilities of hydroxychloroquine would appear to be determined by whether one is a Trump supporter or not...and I am not saying all Trump supporters are objective. I am saying it has become a political issue not one about health. Given that I was aware that both China and South Korea had been using it before Trump mentioned it, I have never seen it as a 'Trump' issue. Nonetheless that is how it is seen. In this way I can see the people of the US can be easily programed. Most countries do not just have two parties but you do and really it is quite amazing the way people's position on issues appears with some to be totally determined by their part whichever one it is. Those who wish can easily play this off and get on with what they want to do.

    But you are not even open enough to look at what was being said

    Sure we need a vaccine, that's the only way to cure it completely.

    and that is why the President has put into place Operation Warp Speed to get the vaccine as soon as possible...

    I would not doubt that Dem "leaders" are doing all they can to send positive cases to mingle with him, every chance they get.

    imo it's an easier path to herd immunity, so yes, but with the virus now mutating in China, it could end up like the flu vaccine having low effectiveness because it can only be guessed at as to which virus invades next season.

    There's not much known about coronavirus presently.

    I disagree, and here's why;

    Quoted by AFM; "Hydroxychloroquine PREVENTS hospitalization for COVID".

    Thus, according to AFM, if we already have a PROVEN drug that PREVENTS hospitalization for COVID, then why do we need a vaccine?

    Same logic for the common flu; If we had a proven drug that PREVENTED hospitalizations, then we wouldn't need a vaccine, right?

    I have an ajustable wrench, why would I need a toolbox full of open end and box end wrenches?

    Is there a cure for the common flu?

    For your info;

    How effective is the flu vaccine?

    In seasons when the vaccine viruses matched circulating strains, flu vaccine has been shown to reduce the risk of having to go to the doctor with flu by 40 percent to 60 percent. Flu vaccination can reduce the risk of flu-associated hospitalization for children, working age adults, and older adults.

    ----------------



    ONCE AGAIN,

    In reference to the common flu, if we had a proven drug that PREVENTED hospitalizations, WOULD WE STILL NEED A VACCINE?

    Yes, a vaccine is a cure.

    The Flu, like Corona, is a type of virus with many strains and can mutate...so what vaccine cures this strain,might not cure the other.

    While preventing hospitalization is a great thing, it's not a cure. We need both
