    Hello darkness, my old friend
    I don't know if he's lying but if he is, the motive seems reasonably clear to me--he (over)extended himself in talking up hydroxychloroquine, he tends to stake his reputation to every statement he makes and will double down to "win" the issue so he'd like to hype it up further now: even the President is taking it, that's how great this stuff is.

    I hope Trump continues to take Hydroxychloroquine. Maybe some good will come of it.

    Except it does, since the drug can only be prescribed by a physician. Now that the White House Physician would be the doctor prescribing the drug, and his public statement that “we concluded the potential benefit from treatment outweigh the risk.” It’s safe to say, he did prescribe the medicine to Trump.

    But there's nothing in that memo that said he prescribed it to him anywhere.
    And you know that when he comes out in 2 weeks saying he was joking or not taking it or whatever other thing he thinks to say, you'd happily point to the letter and state the opposite of what you say now. Nowhere in what you highlighted does it say prescribed or is currently taking. It says they agreed the benefits outweigh the risks on the drug. It doesn't even say that risk/reward is in regards to Trump.

    That isn't how a doctor would say he prescribed it. That was anything but a declaration of a prescription.

    Thanks captain obvious.

    No one is denying that fact. What they're denying is whether or not he's actually taking it, and whether or not the doctor actually prescribed it. Most likely, he said it the way he did, and the doctor purposely didn't use the word prescription, because he actually didn't prescribe it. It's double talk at it's finest.

    He's only fooling idiots.

    All hate and politics aside, if the letter is genuine then why look for technicalities? Reminds me of when buds of mine would get a speeding ticket and they would declare a bunch of technicalities on the tickey.
    Geez....

    perhaps because we seem to live in a time that the truth matters not and the administration has a track record of non factual/alternative truths, and that this could persuade some to believe they should follow the example of the most influential newsmaker of both broadcast and social media sources ?? data says he promotes a treatment that has not proven to be effective and carries significant risks.
    edit i would like to note that after one of the said newsmakers press conferences touting another potential treatment, the director of the NIAID felt compelled to make the statement to please not drink bleach??

    It's not checking for technicalities, it's checking for what was actually implied. So in this case, it's implied that he was prescribed something, yet the letter doesn't say that. Doctors cover their asses all the time. Saying that they discussed the the positives vs the negatives indicates they did just that. A doctor has to make sure what they're saying is exactly what they mean, otherwise they're culpable if the shit hits the fan.

    It's like when the previous WHD said that Trump weighed 239 pounds, which there is no way on this or any other planet that shares our gravitational pull, that he only weighs 239 pounds. He's full of shit, and this is just another example of it.

    lol, and that would be so difficult for trump to get his doctor to do and it's rather obvious the doc would be fired if he refused. Go ask Michael Jackson how hard it is to get a doctor to prescribe dangerous mefications.

    S2 Forum doesn't care about your feelings :cool:

    He also grew an inch about 2 years ago. It was a medical phenomenon to see a man in his 70's grow an inch that late in their life.

    I'd love to see a list of doctors who are currently prescribing HCQ to their patients in order to combat covid19.

    Only one logical explanation.

    That would be like saying because the doctor used the word treatment, it implies Trump has Covid-19 and is being treated for it.

    It is a carefully written drs note, and it never uses the word prescribed. It's lies. Another diversion from old bone spurs.

    I get the feeling you're trying to imply that he (Trump) will purposely say things to get people to talk about that issue, ignoring the other things they should be talking about instead.

    When his malaria pills backfire, Trump will just say..." I meant I was taking the drug into consideration, not actually taking it"....something like that...we've seen the pattern in his press briefings
