Who says we can't?

Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Monday that it's "not a good idea" for President Trump to be taking hydroxychloroquine as a potential treatment for coronavirus.
"I would rather he not be taking something that has not been approved by the scientists, especially in his age group and in his, shall we say, weight group, morbidly obese, they say," Pelosi said during an appearance on CNN's "Anderson Cooper 360."
"So, I think that it's not a good idea," she said.
Trump said earlier in the day that he has been taking hydroxychloroquine, which is used to treat malaria, for the past week and a half after one of his personal valets tested positive for the coronavirus.
Trump has repeatedly touted the drug as a potential coronavirus cure or preventative measure over the past two months, despite the lack of evidence that it's effective against the disease.
"Here’s my evidence: I get a lot of positive calls about it," Trump said on Monday. "So far, I seem to be OK."
Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) also called Trump's decision to take hydroxychloroquine "reckless."
"I know him saying he is taking it, whether he is or not, is reckless, reckless, reckless. It gives people false hope, has people avoid real medical attention, and can actually cause them trouble. It is just dangerous what he did," Schumer said on MSNBC.
The Food and Drug Administration warned last month that the drug should not be taken outside of a hospital or clinical trial due to the risk of heart rhythm problems.
An analysis of patients at Veterans Affairs hospitals across the country found that the death rates of people treated with hydroxychloroquine were higher than those who did not receive the treatment.
The White House later Monday released a memo from the president's physician

Cut! Get that clown out of the picture!
Why would she complain about getting one step closer to being the first woman President?
I noticed NPR has been running with this little uncorrelated factoid too.
Could it be because hydroxychloroquine is used as a last ditch effort to keep the patients alive? Seems to me to be the only reason a malaria drug would be used by an experienced doctor.
Trump should ask Nancy what she is taking all that alcohol for.
And she went to medical school........where?
I am surprised the ‘crap Party hasn’t politicized the fact that DJT has bowel movements. The way they are going they are in danger of sailing off of the edge of the earth.
Well not everyone can be a picture of health like nazi pelosi...
I took it about 20 years ago to prevent malaria when I visited a mosquito infested country.
No malaria, no side effects.
Such BS. There’s nothing the Democrats would like better than for Trump to die.
I hope that she shares this advice with her friends Jerry Nadler and J. B. Pritzker.
Who says we can't?
Nancy is morbidly old, morbidly ugly, and just needs to morbidly drop dead. I wonder if she fully understands how many people wish she would just vanish from the face of the earth.......
Trump’s modus operandi is to never initiate insults, but to respond with overwhelming force. Initiating a round of insults regarding Trump’s appearance seems to be a bad idea, esp for someone as vain as NP.
I am willing to bet they are all on HCQ and Zn. If you ask, you are going to get some HIPPA mumbo jumbo as to why they aren’t answering you.

You left out morbidly demented.
But Stacey Abrams is pleasantly plump.
She’s lying, since she wants him off the planet.
Also , the pathetic wretch is morbidly anti-Free-America and anti-American -Citizens.
I think the actual term is bufforilla.
