You're right. Asking if you believe the delusional conspiracy drivel spewed throughout right wing universe is sublimely ridiculous; I should have known you do.

If Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the NIH since 1984, is endorsing one drug over another it's because it is safer and more effective, he is not trying to make Trump look bad at the expense of American lives. To a man who has served this country fro nearly 40 years I doubt he gives a rat's rear about Trump and is more interested in serving Americans. Accusations that he is against Trump politically or is a part of some deep state is hogwash and more weak arguments from Trump supporters trying to cover up his failures at leading this nation.

Since this thread is about Fauci I'll reserve comment on the remainder of your post.

Whatever this thread is about, it would be over your head. And no matter how silly, you can ask what you want. I certainly do not have to answer and make you look much more lucid than you are.

Trump hasn't failed in leading this nation, to say he has is a straight up lie. Further, your interpretation of Fauci's motives is far less subjective than my own. I was able at least, to cite corroborating evidence which as always, you cannot. Doctors are writing about the benefits of HCQ every day.


For Example---
Thursday May 7, Written by Elizabeth Lee Vliet, M.D.
"At the “warp speed” currently in vogue for the Fauci-led push to a new vaccine, the very next day the FDA issued an Emergency Use Authorization (EAU) for remdesivir to be used in seriously ill hospitalized patients. To announce the emergency approval, President Trump met with the CEO of the drug’s manufacturer, Gilead Sciences, in the Oval Office.

Such rapid authorization is quite unusual with the FDA. Unlike the experimental remdesivir with no prior FDA approval, hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) required two months from reports of successful use in China and South Korea to get the Mar 28 FDA EUA for use in hospitalized COVID-19 patients. HCQ was approved in 1955 for malaria, and later for lupus and rheumatoid arthritis. Over the last 65 years, hundreds of millions of prescriptions have been written for HCQ worldwide.

The EUA for HCQ did not, however, expand its availability but imposed restrictions to prevent non-hospitalized patients from accessing the government’s stockpile of the drug. Democrat Governors Cuomo (NY), Sisolak (NV), and Whitmer (MI), then imposed restrictive orders on outpatient use, and all but four states have followed their lead.

In decades of widespread use, HCQ has an impressive safety record. Irregular heart rhythm or damage to the retina occur rarely, usually with high doses used long term. FDA shows only 62 cardiac deaths attributed to HCQ out of more than 50 million prescriptions, or 0.000124 percent (1.2 out of each 1 million Rx). Rheumatology guidelines for lupus and rheumatoid arthritis do not even require baseline electrocardiograms before prescribing HCQ, since the risk is minimal.

Now, please let us hear all about the modest improvement noted with Rendesivir usage. Patients got discharged on average 4 days earlier than those on placebo. You do realize all that means is taking Rendesivir is like next to nothing, negligible, right? But heavens above, we couldn't risk one failure out of each million HCQ scripts!!
