>> Not once have I heard, "I'm doing this because the president says to do it", nor "I'm not doing it because..." It's possible that was because Trump is the first Quack -in-Chief.

I don't think any would admit that, ever. In fact, I doubt they'd even be aware of it. And faced with irrefutable truth, they'll never admit it.

But it would be silly to claim it doesn't happen.

Had anyone other than Trump been suggesting HCQ on March 22, it probably would have gotten a fair hearing. Instead, it was instantly shut down and we have six weeks worth of death to show for it. I'm sure he had read the same articles I did and lot of other people did. And it certainly appeared to be working in some cases, which is more than can be said for anything the physicians were doing.

I understand the case for clinical trials. But I also understand that when faced with imminent death, you work with the tools you have not the ones you wish you had. What I witnessed was professional stupidity.
