  1. He could have been one of them if it weren’t for the best medical coverage tax payer money could buy.

  2. “I just want to find, uh, 11,780 votes, which is one more than [the 11,779-vote margin of defeat] we have, because we won the state.” – Donald J. Trump

    I found your votes Trump!!

  3. You’d think someone would want the person who was the cause of all this to be prosecuted for it.

  4. Donald Trump actually said that covid deaths would go down if we stopped counting covid deaths. He said that.

  5. I’m still waiting for knees on Ivermectin to return to the headlines. 

  6. What happened to the demon sperm MD qwhacks that he endorsed?

  7. The death toll is far higher than 17,000.

    Hydroxychloroquine is normally used to treat lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and other autoimmune disorders.

    Because of Trump’s fraudulent claim that hydroxychloroquine could treat COVID, Americans with auto-immune diseases lost access to the drug.

    After the American medical establishment rejected the off-label use of hydroxychloroquine to treat COVID, the Trump administration compounded the problem by seizing all US supplies and sending them to Brazil, where Bolsonaro was still willing to dictate the drug be used as a COVID treatment.

    The shortage of hydroxychloroquine in the US did not improve until more than a year later when right-wing media seized on the anti-parasite drug ivermectin as the next “secret COVID cure.”

    Thousands of Americans with auto-immune disorders died because they couldn’t get their medication. Thousands more lupus sufferers are living with irreversible damage to their organs, especially kidneys, because of the Trump administration’s shameless manipulation of hydroxychloroquine supplies.

  8. Ah yes, I’ve heard a similar miracle cure for cancer is to put the person in a microwave for half an hour on high.

  9. I have covid right now. I’m on the tail end of it but if I had breathing problems I would have definitely been in the hospital. I wasn’t able to breath through my nose at all for 3 days.

  10. You mean he negligently gave out completely medically unsound advice, from a government position of authority no less? The guy that suggested injecting bleach might cure it too? Well I never.

  11. Last straw from a Trumper couple my wife and I were friends with before they went insane was taking black market hydroxychloroquine when their reason for not getting vaxxed was not being sure what they were putting in their bodies.

  12. “Can’t trust those medical science people. ”

    “Here take something completely unrelated to covid also created by medical science.” /s

  13. I remember arguments on conservative subs claiming more people were dying from vaccines and that studies shown it to be safer then “*the jab.*”

  14. I’m curious how many deaths or injuries were caused by bleach when he recommended disinfectants for Covid be studied.

  15. Trump has more blood than that on how hands over the mis-handling of the entire Covid crisis

  16. ≈17,000 less people voting for fascism. Thanks Trump!

  17. I had been prescribed that medication to take twice daily.

    When Covid hit, and morons believed their dear leader, I couldn’t get any refills. I’ve been taking it since 2014, but during Covid I didn’t notice any effects of not taking it. So I stopped.

    But my mail oder pharmacy keeps sending me bottles of that stuff. I think I have 4 or 5 stacked up.

  18. Well you know what Stalin said. 1 death is a tragedy; 17,000 deaths is higher than Republicans can count.

  19. Wait a minute, are you trying to say, Trump was wrong?

  20. I work at Amazon in the packing dept. I pack a ridiculous amount of ivermectin every day, more than ever before. I just know there’s still a bunch of morons taking it. The absolute ridiculousness of Trump supporters is almost making me question if I’m missing something, or I’m the crazy one. He’s so good at manipulation and I just don’t understand the blind loyalty.

  21. Shame is the conspiracy theorists will still trash the vaccine and probably take that drug because trump can tell no lies to them

  22. Shocking. A. guy who doesn’t know crap about science or medicine got people killed?

  23. I spent about an hour getting chewed out by a Infectious Disease attending for prescribing hydroxychloroquine and later by the (dying) patient himself over *not* receiving more hydroxychloroquine after getting 1 dose.

    We knew from the beginning it was useless but the President and the National Inquirer were brainwashing wingnuts that it was a cure.

    Trump should be in a prison cell for his contagious stupidity.

  24. Charge the low life with murder he had absolutely no regard for human life

  25. I guess these folks can label their tombstones with MAGA symbols like Nazi officials did with the swastika, huh. Only Donald Trump could have convinced these people to take this “cure”.

  26. Bro literally killed thousands and thousands of Americans with gross misinformation and negligence but millions of mouth breathers still want him to be president 💀

  27. Sounds like 17,000 fewer Trump voters. He should give more medical advice.

  28. Okay, but hear me out… Was anything of value lost? Like, these “people” who believe a two-bit charlatan… on the whole isn’t society better off without them?
