Pelosi says 'morbidly obese' Trump taking hydroxychloroquine 'not a good idea'
The Hill ^ | 5/18/2020 | christina marcos

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

They gave hydroxychloroquine to elderly patients on ventilators. In other words, too late.

It has to be given early in order to work the best....not at the end. But of course, the scum bag media doesn’t bother to mention this at all.

I didn’t hear how it went on the 13th so I figured no news is good news (or I just missed reading about it). And you’re typing so it must be okay. Out of pocket? I hope not!

He’s a big man. He’s something like 6’ 3”.

He’s not morbidly obese, and I’ll have to say that some folks
toss that word around like they get an extra $100 on their
paycheck every time they use it publicly.

In the old days, they decided to throw a health fair where
I worked. I made the mistake of visiting one booth that was
geared to telling you if you were overweight.

At the time I weighted 190. For the record, I weight 191
today. At the time they weighed me, and actually had the
audacity to call me obese to my face. They said I needed
to drop to 175.

Folks, at 175 I would have been skin and bones. Obese?

They lost all credibility with me right there. I was in
great shape back then, and their comment was ignorance on
display.

Assclown Faced Nancy Pelosi should not have elective surgery to make a scrotum face look like a billiard ball.

Anyone looked at her lately? She’s chunky as hell!
Shuddup Nancy. Have a drink. She’s jealous because Trump made it this long undrugged and undrunk, unlike her.
Put her in a home.

"I took it about 20 years ago to prevent malaria when I visited a mosquito infested country."

My oldest son, age 53 has been taking Plaquenil twice a day for years for his RA. No side effects.
