17000 republicans deaths. Because no one else is stupid enough to believe his word.
It does say from around the world. But I take your point for sure.
*conservative deaths
To be fair, the 17000 were not even all Americans. 16,990 patients in the US, France, Belgium, Italy, Spain and Turkey. I too dislike Trump but the world is larger than the US
We would need to see the breakdown. If it's 14000 in the US and 3k elsewhere then that's telling but i don't see that information listed anywhere.
Edit: Found it!. It's about 13K in the US.
Overall, using median estimates of HCQ use in each country, we estimated that 16,990 HCQ-related in-hospital deaths (range 6267–19256) occurred in the countries with available data. The median number of HCQ-related deaths in Belgium, Turkey, France, Italy, Spain, and the USA was 240 (range not estimable), 95 (range 92–128), 199 (range not estimable), 1822 (range 1170–2063), 1895 (range 1475–2094) and 12739 (3244− 15570), respectively.
Would've been hilarious if that matched the exact number of votes he lost Georgia by or something like that.
It actually exceeds that number, 11,780, so I'd say that counts.
Or vulnerable relatives and friends of those same republicans.
How can you say it's not effective? Do those 17,000 dead people still have COVID? /s
17000 deaths.... Within a limited set of countries, so the entire amount world wide will be much, MUCH higher.
Trump is the direct cause that covid got that big in the US, he directly recommended shit like this medication, hell he recommended injecting bleach.
Trump is DIRECTLY responsible for the deaths of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of men, women and children.
But hey, let's make him president again!
hell he recommended injecting bleach
Okay...first and foremost: Trump is a fascist moron, an absolute danger to everyone, and can go fuck himself. However, he did not recommend injecting bleach. He VERY STUPIDLY asked his task force if it was something we could do.
Which you could argue is also a large component of the inflation we've had. We wouldn't have had to massively stimulate the economy if there wasn't a pandemic. But it was all Biden, charging you more for eggs, right?
Even if 10% of those people took it because he told them to, that’s 1700 deaths on his head.
I haven’t even killed one person.
You're way behind... /s
1st, I doubt he cares or even thinks about it.
2nd, if we’re talking about his actions leading to deaths, I’d say this one is his top-performer (5/10/2018):

Have you even made the effort?
People are so lazy these days.
Well technically, dying does eliminate COVID from your body.
This is probably the grossest "um, actually" I've said ever, but I think technically rotting is what eventually gets rid of the covid in your body. A recently deceased person would still "have" covid in them.
Unfortunately, the people who need to know the results of this study don't believe in studies.
And they're dead.
Some of them are. But I know plenty of Trumpers who consider anything coming out of a university or any study as "fake news."
'member when Oklahoma bought $2m worth of hydroxychloroquine at the height of repub's hysteria, then tried to return them for a refund? Pepperidge Farm 'member.
Wait... they got prescriptions for it?
Where are the malpractice suits? Where are the licensing authorities?
A lot of people in here acting like the patient was the one that got to decide what kind of drugs they were getting. I had covid very very early on, and I was hospitalized. They had me on hydroxychloroquine. The doctors and nurses didn't know what the fuck was going on, they were trying everything they could hoping that something would work. I was basically a test subject because it was so early on. It looks like it didn't kill me, which is great, but at no point did I ask to be put on it.
Yeah but the subsequent private purchases of the drug well after it was established to not work is what the issue is.
If you got covid in that first year you were getting treated with the kitchen sink. Your Healthcare decided the drug was worth the risk and you got it. Not every hospital was doing that, hell I hadn't even heard of one using it until your comment..
Look, nobody kills off his base better than him.
To the tune of Gaston --
"No one kills off their base,
let leopards eat their face,
leave thousands of bodies all over the place..."
What's the word we use for a group of people who follow their chosen leader no matter how ridiculous? I can't remember...
Didn't some people drink a bunch of poison koolaid once?
/s
It was Flavor Aid, not Kool-Aid
Meanwhile, my local Walmart is fully stocked on horse paste. We were in the pet care section yesterday. A bunch of boxes of apple-flavored ivermectin. And I'm guessing they didn't have that many because people go to Walmart for horse care supplies.
Doesn't his buddy own the company that makes the stuff?
This was a pumb and dump scam that Trump ran right from the White House.
Personally I liked his stint as a bean salesman while in the white house, just casually sitting at the resolute desk hocking beans...just president stuff NBD.
Let's be real. This dude was doing us a favor by doing this. Anyone dumb enough to listen to him fucking deserves it.
If they were just taking it themselves, that is, unfortunately a lot of these shitwads have children and other dependants.
