This is the biggest Trump scandal of them all in my opinion. Trump ignored FDA guidelines and ordered hydroxychloroquine to be used as a treatment for ailing vets. This resulted in an alarming death toll and along with other studies has discredited this as a legit treatment. Trump literally killed Veterans and used them as lab rats. Biden, Democrats, Lincoln Project, Trump needs to be slammed and slammed hard for this. This warrants resignation. This is just evil.

(9,178 posts)there is no evidence that he ordered VA doctors to use hydroxychloroquine as a treatment for ailing vets.
He DID order the FDA to relax the guidelines, allowing doctors to prescribe it for off-label usage, AND he promoted its use in press conferences, but that's not what you are asserting.
The truth matters. Let's not be like they are.

(9,178 posts)forced to break their medical oaths (presumably, in order to keep their jobs) then I would think that at least one of them would tell a reporter about it, even if only anonymously.
If a Congressperson or reporter wants to ring up some of the VA doctors who prescribed this drug and ask them if they were pressured, more power to them.

(47,613 posts)for a study, just that he cited the information we already knew about the use of Hydroxychloroquine on vets. There was nothing in the article that we haven't heard in the news the last few days, that Trump said the ones who died were already old and very sick.
