The president of the United Food and Commercial Workers International Union said Thursday that he is urging Sioux Falls Smithfield workers who contracted COVID-19 not to participate in a statewide study into the effectiveness of a malaria drug to treat the disease.
Gov. Kristi Noem has supported a statewide clinical trial of the drug hydroxychloroquine to determine if it might have benefits for COVID-19 patients, but UFCW President Marc Perrone said he wants no Smithfield workers to participate.
“We are very, very concerned about it, and strongly recommend that our members do not take part in that study,” he said.
Perrone said he was concerned by reports that patients treated with the drug had a higher death rate than those who received just standard care.
Perrone joined UFCW packing plant workers and officials who spoke with reporters during a more than hour long press call Thursday. UFCW officials criticized the federal and state governments for failing to properly safeguard packing plant workers, leading to plant closures across the country, food shortages and distress for farmers and ranchers. Noem was one of several governors criticized by the union.
Maggie Seidel, a spokeswoman for Noem, said in an email that hydroxychloroquine was entirely voluntary.
“If folks want to go that route, the governor has done all she can to make it available,” she said. “It’s up to individuals and their doctors to assess whether it makes sense for them.”

Sounds like the Smithfield union wants its members to die for the communist cause. Oh yes, all good little commies should be willing to die for the higher communal good.
F*$%ing UFCW. Another corrupt self-serving union. Last year they went on strike in CT/MA/RI at a large grocery chain, telling their members all sorts of lies for about 2 weeks. When the dust settled they agreed to almost all the company proposals. But, hey of you spent 40 hrs picketing you got like $100 bucks a week.
Die, suckers.
