It really brings me down when I think about how many people died due to the orange turd.
It really brings me down when I think about how many morons vote for the orange turd
Just think about how many people will die if he's elected again
That's not the worst part. The worst part is, how many people who won't have voted for him, will die if he's elected again.
Now now, let's not forget the OG who started all this and who was even a scientist with proper education: Didier Raoult
His name should be forever associated with those deaths.
But it saved, like, over a billions lives, and stopped acne in ugly babies. My reliable moms group on Facebook says the media leave out the really really good stuff like it didn't happen.
Like, how many drugs do you know saved a billions of persons? Wasn't a Vax, my totally well informed convoy prison group science rep said so, too.
And whom should we blame for the mis-information that caused these deaths?
Didier Raoult for a large part. He was the one who published the paper that really started this whole mess. His shoddy research practices and non-respect for patients did plenty of harm.
Good thing that they've forced his retirement.
Unfortunately it comes down to people thinking for themselves and that seems to be an issue. You can tell someone that it won't help them as much as you want, but if they're dead set on believing that it will then what can you do??
It's mind boggling that people think that they can be more educated than people who literally spent 5 years in medical school.
I guess that's the problem with science industries where people who aren't trained still get a payoff by being wrong (the losses sometimes aren't obvious), whereas being a builder or mechanic (which in my experience tend to be the 2 most cocky industries), the results are often more immediately wrong or right
Unfortunately it comes down to people thinking for themselves and that seems to be an issue.
No, if they were thinking that would not be an issue. Whatever they're doing is an issue, but calling it thinking is a stretch.
I wonder how many horses died too, because they didn't have access to medication
I really hate to say lol at the death of some 17,000 people, but, at the same time....
lol
🤖 I'm a bot that provides automatic summaries for articles: ::: spoiler Click here to see the summary Nearly 17,000 people may have died after taking hydroxycholoroquine during the first wave of COVID, according to a study by French researchers.
The anti-malaria drug was prescribed to some patients hospitalized with COVID-19 during the first wave of the pandemic, "despite the absence of evidence documenting its clinical benefits," the researchers point out in their paper, published in the February issue of Biomedicine & Pharmacotherapy.
Now, researchers have estimated that some 16,990 people in six countries — France, Belgium, Italy, Spain, Turkey and the U.S. — may have died as a result.
Researchers from universities in Lyon, France, and Québec, Canada, used that figure to analyze hospitalization data for COVID in each of the six countries, exposure to hydroxychloroquine and the increase in the relative risk of death linked to the drug.
In fact, they say the figure may be far higher given the study only concerns six countries from March to July 2020, when the drug was prescribed much more widely.
Hydroxychloroquine gained prominence partly due to French virologist Didier Raoult who had headed the Méditerranée Infection Foundation hospital, but was later removed amid growing controversy.

@QuentinCallaghan natural selection took its toll, sadly.
Cleaner gene pool.
Too late, they would have already contributed,
I wonder if the Darwin award would make an exception and given award to a group...
