Fat-shaming and concern-trolling, Pelosi and pals suddenly fear for President Trump's health because he's taking Hydroxycholoroquine

On a day when we all remember Eddie Haskell (Ken Osmond, RIP), out comes Nancy Pelosi with her sudden and newfound 'concerns' for President Trump's health:

“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,” says House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Pres. Trump’s revelation he is taking hydroxychloroquine. pic.twitter.com/0ImjpEjg9q — Anderson Cooper 360° (@AC360) May 19, 2020

Which has about as much authencity as a botox-frozen forehead or a three-trillion-dollar bill. After all, haven't Democrats been fantasizing about killing him? And what's with the fat-shaming? Here's a bit of the flavor:

You know, I gotta say. If Trump wants to inject himself with disinfectant to kill the coronavirus, I'm not going to rush to dissuade him. — George Takei (@GeorgeTakei) April 24, 2020

A full celebrity cavalcade of death threats against Trump can be read here. And don't forget this one, from one Candi CdeBaca, who wanted to spread coronavirus at Trump rallies. Heck, don't forget Pelosi's own daughter, Christine, who openly cheered for Sen. Rand Paul's violent convicted assailant.

There are approximately 1 million people in the U.S. that take HCQ daily (for Lupus and Rheumatoid Arthritis) with no issues.

It's true that HCQ (only when combined with Azithromycin) has been implicated in some heart arrhythmia incidents--- but the incidence has been so small, and the risk so remote, that RA patients are not even generally screened for cardiac issues.

We get a simple quarterly blood and urine test to detect levels, and a yearly ophthalmic exam for retina. Never had a problem.

And the real kicker is the duration of the prescription. Typical COVID-19 patient on Dr. Zelenko's treatment gets HCQ for under a week. Typical RA patient (like myself) is on daily HCQ for decades.

Sometimes Freepers are such hypocrites.

If you were to post a story about someone dying of Covid you would not get three posts without some disparaging remark about the people being old, fat, or having some other weakness.

To suggest that Trump is not obese is just being real. I do t know his weight so to determine “morbidly” obese is just a matter of degree.

They are medical terms. Not sure what the uproar is about.

I hate Pelosi, but calling the President obese is not a stretch.
