But isn't that EXACTLY what they did?  Drank their koi ich treatment?  I haven't seen anything specific yet as to whether they used the liquid or tablet form, but I suspect that is a moot point.  

The wife said she put it in some soda. My bad saying tablets, because the article was illustrated with a picture of tablets. It's unclear what form it was in. But it was put in soda. https://www.forbes.com/sites/tarahaelle/2020/03/23/man-dead-from-taking-chloroquine-after-trump-touts-drug-for-coronavirus/#7dbc94a772e9

Twitter is the "source" for the mixing it in soda claim.  

 

And at least Heidi pointed out:

The toxic ingredient they consumed was not the medication form of chloroquine, used to treat malaria in humans. Instead, it was an ingredient listed on a parasite treatment for fish.

 

 

 

 

 

I'm done.  You guys can argue more about it if you wish.  This falls into the EXACT SAME category as people eating tide pods.

I believe the woman said she mixed it with soda. I can find the quote elsewhere and will post.   I'm not arguing about anything, I'm just saying the woman who did this REALLY STUPID THING blamed Trump. It's still really stupid!

 

The interview is embedded in that tweet. It doesn't matter if it was posted on Twitter, that's an interview with the wife and she said she mixed it with soda.

  I think I posted that. It is chloroquine phosphate, the same anti malarial that was used in humans. Hydroxychloroquine is used nowadays because it's less toxic. You can overdose on both, but easier to do so on chloroquine. Especially if you are mixing your own.

Chloroquine can apparently just be obtained without an RX in places like Mexico

Oh, yes.  However (from what I gathered while watching Univision Noticias with Mama-Mrs.-T-B. today), it's already sold out at every border pharmacy.

 

Same thing happened with Tamiflu 11 years ago during the Porcina.

Clearly Trump should be impeached for being President almighty and not ordering P&G to put nutrition labels on Tide Pods.

   Perhaps he recognized that US pharmacies are starting to run out of medications like azithromycin and hydrochloroquine, and now patients who actually need these medicines can't get them.  The idiot of the day awards should go to people who are sitting on stocks of these drugs when they don't need them.

No sir. Not even close This is what he  did 

 

"Sisolak, a Democrat, issued an executive order Tuesday prohibiting prescriptions of chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine for coronavirus patients after the president mentioned the two drugs during a press briefing.

Seems there is a Paracetamol shortage in the UK, all now made in India, chickens coming home to roost.

It also does this though: 

Quote

The order also limits a prescription to a 30-day supply to ensure it’s available for “legitimate medical purposes" and so that people cannot find a way to stockpile the drug.

This drug is used to treat serious Lupus cases, and those people do need that drug. Zpacks are also an important antibiotic that people try to obtain like candy. Drug stockpiling can be done by all sorts of people that do not think of the consequences and do not care. If you have ever felt the frustration of being told your drug is out of stock and they don't know when a shipment will come in and you need a drug to live.. I hope you understand.
