If only we had a president who didn't suggest injecting bleach...

Trump bootlickers: "Yeah, he said inject, not drink!"

No shit? Doesn't make it a more responsible or level-headed suggestion.

Honestly, if you are dumb enough to drink/inject bleach based on random people on the internet, that is just Darwinism in action.

People are so dumb.

You can drink too much water and die.

I'd wager that chlorine dioxide and hydroxychloroquine are beneficial IF applied in the correct dosage(s) to the matched symptoms.

What happened to "my body, my choice?" Who the fuck cares? Let them give it a shot if they want to, that's how science operates. That's how data is collected.

Are people worried that it'll actually work? What do you have to lose if it kills a few voters against your political views? How does that affect YOUR life if they had no other (affordable) options?

The left is supposed to be about science, anti-Big Pharma, and liberation from government, I thought?

I miss the 60's/70's liberals, they were smarter than this.

That's quite a rant to go on about people dying from drinking bleach.

I'm sad they were dumb enough to do it and die but I don't think you can really pin that on anyone but the people that did it.

The North Texas Poison Center, a branch of the state's poison control agency, received 46 calls related to bleach ingestion since August 1, CBS DFW reported on Monday. The Dallas-Fort Worth news station cited comments from the regional center that linked the increased incidence of poisonings caused by bleach to "misleading and inaccurate information circulating online about how two prevent the spread of COVID-19."

Story sounds like bullshit and and the ridiculous typo gives things an obvious #fakenews look.

If people have been drinking bleach as a Covid cure, what exactly is so unlikely about the suggestion that they probably read misinformation about it online?

Trump said that like four months ago. I'm pretty sure Texas gets the internet at the same rate the rest of the world does. I don't think anyone heard that shit months ago and thought 'Boy now is a good time to drink bleach'

No it isn't, it's just stupid people offing themselves because they can't tell the difference between rhetoric and reality. It's time for the MSM to admit that Trump isn't the problem but the too dumb to live are the problem.

if someone tells you to do something that will obviously kill you, or extremely sick/injured, it doesn't mean you have to do that

Honestly, if you are dumb enough to drink/inject bleach based on random people on the internet, that is just Darwinism in action.

Agreed. People dying of their own stupidity is hardly a tragedy.
