So it was stupid to test the drug for treatment of coronavirus. Is that your opinion of every drug being tested for it?
For the record Trump did not tout the drug as a game changer. He said the drug need to be pursued to see if it would successfully treat coronavirus. However, you libtard fucks always got to twist shit up to make someone look bad. In this case you are the only one that looks bad. Now go climb back under your rock where you love it so well.
"More importantly, mickey thought 8-4 was two games over .500. Argued about it. C'mon, man. Nothing can top that for math expertise. If GWAE ever has you on again, you can be sure I'll be calling in with that gem.'Nuff said." REDIETZ
The bomb throwing liberal terrorist has returned. Instead of answering thoughtful questions some people have asked him, he goes back to tossing hand grenades. At least he's consistent.
Here's a newsflash MWP. Trump is an optimist. He's looking for solutions. I know you'll have hard time understanding this, being a doom and gloom liberal.
I've been following this debate. My first question is was it a blind or double blind study?
If they deliberately gave the drugs to those more seriously ill it was not a blind study, and you could expect a higher mortality rate among those more seriously ill.
Since the drug was given to veterans at VA hospitals you can also assume that the ages might be skewed to older and we know mortality is higher among older.
There are so many details missing from this report I can't even imagine how it can be considered as meaningful except to those who are against the drug's use.
Why do so many want this drug to fail?
And for the record MWP, this article said no such thing as what you're claiming. The following is what you're claiming the article is saying: "17% greater chance of dying if you take it
Here's what the article really said: "About 22% of those getting the drug plus azithromycin died, too, but the difference between that group and those receiving usual care was not considered large enough to rule out other factors that could have affected survival."
Basically there is not enough data to know if it works or not. If you're going to throw out "bombs", please accurately report what article's say. Don't be one of those dishonest liberals and misquote people and articles. Thanks!
Since you are here, redietz will you finally answer the question. With the shelter at home order naturally highway fatalities are way down. 40K people a year die from it. If everyone quit driving those lives would be saved. Would you be willing to give up driving to save those lives?

Redietz, you proved my point. MWP said Trump touted the drug as a game changer. You followed suit with this link. All I had to read was the headline "TRUMP SAYS THESE DRUGS COULD BE GAME CHANGERS IN FIGHT AGAINST VIRUS."
Take a look at these two headlines:
"TRUMP SAYS THESE DRUGS ARE GAME CHANGERS."
"TRUMP SAYS THESE DRUGS COULD BE GAME CHANGERS."
Now, redietz, try some intellectual honesty for a change. Do both headlines mean the same thing? Of course, you and MWP know full well "could be game changers" does not mean the same thing as "are game changers."
It wasn't even a nice try, redietz. All it did was show how intellectually dishonest lefties like you and MWP are.

If the question is, "Would I give up driving for 12-18 months as part of a communal effort to contribute towards saving 30,000 or 40,000 or 100,000 lives," the answer is of course I would.
Comparing traffic deaths to coronavirus deaths is a false equivalence. Traffic deaths are not contagious, multiplying outward. Each accident, unless you get a pile-up in a snowstorm, is its own independent thing. The reason you restrict people during a pandemic is because of contagion.
By the way, I'm a big fan of public transportation. I think it's a shame intercity bus service and train service isn't really a federally funded option. The bus lines have been left to shrivel, and Amtrak's routes have likewise been cut back.

Strawman argument. I didn't compare traffic deaths to coronavirus. Typically, you are being intellectually dishonest again. I asked you if you are willing to give up driving to save lives. Since your response is yes you would, then we can all look forward to your calling for a ban on driving. When will you be making the announcement?
