I don't know why you're pretending you haven't seen or heard any of this. And if you really haven't, you shouldn't be arguing about it

What were the patient characteristics? Were they people who are championed by this board as being asymptomatic because they don’t have any underlying conditions and Get better with nothing?

Like I said earlier. There are studies that champion it as a 100% cure and studies that say it doesn’t do anything. I’m hopeful but there is a lot more analysis that has to happen then I prescribed it and it worked!! Prior to making a mass recommendation. That doesn’t mean that it should be closed off to patients while trials are being done and Fauci is doing nothing of the sort.

But THIS thing, we have to be super careful about

Has Fauci prevented patients from getting it? No. Has Fauci made the FDA not give approval? No. He just hasn’t said that this is a miracle drug.

I don't have a link that states what each patient's "characteristics" were, but given the hundreds of patients tested, just by the New York doctor, it's safe to assume they have many differing characteristics. Which is how you want to test any drug.

Link? I haven't seen any "study" saying it doesn't work. Only butt hurt doctors giving opinions that it won't work, because Trump said it would, and they can't allow themselves to agree with anything he says.

He can't "make" anyone do anything. He's a mouthpiece. His job is to give facts, and to try to keep the public calm. He is short on facts, as he continuously parrots WHO statements, which are constantly being debunked. And instead of saying "we believe that hydroxychloroquine can have a huge impact, and we're very encouraged", he goes "eh, we don't really know crap about it. There's a possibility, but I wouldn't get too excited".

Even though every report from around the world has said either 100% success rate, or close to it.

"i don't want to face the facts so i'm going to distract you with special pleading."
