Nurses COVID

Is anyone at all concerned that the leader of the free world...against all recommendations...is taking hydroxychloroquine as a preventative measure...despite having high cholesterol?

Or that a doctor felt OK prescribing such to the leader of the free world despite said concerns? I mean HOLY COW!?!?!? How many will be banging down doors now to follow suit???

Several doctors questioned the wisdom of taking the unproven drug, given the possible risks.

“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.”

I wonder if the charts are large and simplified because his vision isn't 20:20. Mine isn't. I would want the larger print if I wanted to find something specific under pressure. (I prefer at least 12 font.)

I’m sure he could afford a pair of glasses. I don’t think that was the issue.

He would never, ever wear glasses because he thinks it's a sign of weakness as well as a vanity issue.

He did blame once his reluctance to read a document during a deposition upon not having his reading glasses though. He's never been seen wearing wearing glasses. They ask him to read at about the 32 minute mark. His attorney immediately objects.

Glasses, no glasses. I don’t care. He’s clearly the lowest form of human and most of the time, not even that. Despicable. A complete fraud who has no business being president much less giving medical advice.

I see what you mean.

It would be great if we had a president with poor eyesight rather than poor judgement.
