Yeah I don't listen to people just because they say stuff online.
Talking to your doctor is not such a bad thing hanimmal
No need to get bent out of shape over it forever, I'm not posting anything on HCQ until a solid study comes out, and I posted the most solid and most negative one on it sofar, including the CNN story on it that had a most negative spin, reposted it to bugeye's thread too! Even argued with a guy who was touting it and said he was seeing 4 specialists and taking it with a heart condition FFS! Told him to ask again!
oh horse shit. You gushed over the crap and never let up and I was there early to point out you were making a potentially harmful claim. By itself not much harm but as a part of the wave of disinformation coming out about this virus, very harmful. I'm not saying you are malicious, just a "concerned acquaintance" who is caught up in the wave of irrelevant, misinforming and in aggregate, harmful propaganda that is hitting us. My posts were mainly dubious and "please stop". But you won't. So, I figure the best thing to do was hold you accountable for the things you say. lulz you cry like Trump when your lunatic words are cited. The denial is telling too.He's one issue, it was out of context the date was not included, it was long before it became politicized and merely a scientific and medical subject in desperate times, places like michigan were giving out die in place orders to guys like @captainmorgan and doctors were prescribing out of desperation and compassion. They have been prescribing it for over 50 years for anybody going to a place where malaria was endemic as a prophylaxis.
I've wasted enough electrons on it here to prove you are disingenuous, its just another way of distorting the truth, pathetic really.
Advising people to talk to their doctors is some kind of high crime in a time of crises, the captain was right to call you a tard and put you on ignore as a pain in the ass.
So you know more than scientists and ethicists at this point in time with 40 international studies ongoing? More arrogance and getting ahead of your skis for egotistical reasons. I figure the drug is dangerous, if ya give it to sick old people on the edge of death, so do the experts apparently. Your not motivated by some kind of crusade here, your motives are quite personal in this matter and you've become a pain in the ass to myself and others here, give it up and move on, bury the bone foggy. We are like cockroaches fighting in the sugar bowl here at RIU, not many care or will remember.
Early on, there were plenty of experienced voices on this matter who said HCQ was potentially harmful. I read what they said and I gave a listen to the woo-woo sciency crap from that nobody 7th day Adventist doctor's videos you posted. It wasn't hard for me to distinguish who was saying the right things.
Not according to your recent posts, you are being disingenuous here foggy and continue to be so for malicious reasons, it is obvious. Slagging the CBC even had Burt laughing at you, for a news story I posted without commentary, your post on that one and several other innocus posts without comment make it plain to see, but I will nonetheless point out your motivations in this matter, when asked about it. Nobody else seems to give a fuck much about it Hanimmal is giving you moral support but that's about it, others seem to find the acrimony distasteful, though I've noticed you've become more socially skilful, so you must be learning something. Not calling people idiots and fools much any more, I reserve suck talk for socks and Trumpers, perhaps you should too.
If by moral support you mean posting actual information that shows the video and drug being used by Trump trolls is suspect, sure.
My "popularity"?
Good foggy, now let's put it behind us and work on those 5 positive social interactions that help make up for a bad one. Normal in all mammals BTW
I don't take counsel from people who are easily fooled.
Are you saying you did not say to send a copy of the study to your doctor? As for fogs motive, I assume he’s just annoyed is all.
I told the Captain primarily, to talk to his doctor about it because at the time doctors were prescribing it, it was early days even before the flawed french study came out. Times were desperate in Michigan as you recall, it is only available by prescription and I figured the Captain was intelligent enough to call his own balls and strikes, just like you Budley, I respect other people and care about them, I was motivated by Compassion. I cared enough to PM the Captain and let me /us know how he was making out when he went silent for 2 weeks while the epidemic raged. The poor bastard didn't even think he was gonna get a ventilator because of his age at the time. Only later when it became politicised and trump mentioned it did all this bullshit begin. I'm keeping the peace, ask the Captain if ya wish, he's been bothered by it enough, so I won't quote him in the text.
Again I don’t care what you post and I have no dog in this fight. I just found it humorous that you would suggest “sending” a doctor an unproven study is all. My doctor would find it, at the least, like me, humorous, if not insulting. Also as I said, your posting of cut and paste articles has no bearing on any actions I take as I get my news from mainstream sources or research for my self. I don’t think your motives are at all suspect, I just think you have an unhealthy amount of free time to spend on this subject here.
You are right about the free time thing Budley and the weather broke down this way and I have other things to attend to now that the restrictions are easing a bit. I won't be around as much for a spell as I've got shit to do and keeping this thing open in a tab is habitual with the planet locked down!
Look at the mess in the emerging data about lockdowns, conflicting inconsistent studies and how we waited for curves to flatten and fall, only to plateau in places etc. This is a scientific adventure of discovery as well as a tragedy Budley and like all adventures it has its high and low points.
BTW there were many reports of people drinking Clorox and calls to poison control centers after Trump touted that too, ditto for UVC dildo's, I can't find one anywhere!
Those who told others to seek medical advise on medical matters not so much. Doctors write prescriptionsI didn't recommend people take Hydroxychloroquine.
I guess anybody who did would feel foolish right now.

Talking abour woo-woo science if fun!!! It also demonstrates the effectiveness of right wing propaganda.
