I am referring to today’s inaccurate statement by Trump about FDA approval of the use of chloroquine phosphate for treatment of COVID-19. Instead of wasting everyone’s time pointing out that it’s not approved as a treatment for that disease, they could have simply pointed to the statement from the FDA that it is undergoing testing, but they are going to be authorizing some use of it on a case by case basis under compassionate care provisions. That’s significantly more helpful than posting a bunch of articles saying Trump is WRONG! Like that’s news.

Can't they use it using the "off label" moniker?

I don’t know much of anything about that. This is what I did see:

“FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn explained during the press conference it would be allowed under what’s known “compassionate use” -- where doctors can request to use the experimental drug and get permission from the FDA to give to patients. Hahn also said he didn't want to give "false hope" but said he was hopeful about the treatments.”

The buck has to stop with the president.

If he can't even provide accurate information during a news conference it needs to be called it.

If you watched the stock ticker that was displayed during his news conference you can see there was a live and direct effect over what he was saying. The market went up when he was talking. It's imperative that the information that he provides is accurate. Otherwise it's just propaganda.

Also when information is provided that contradicts the information provided the president it has to been stated clearly why that information is being put out and why it goes against what the president said. That needs to be done to draw more attention to the correct or accurate information.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Off-label_use

Off-label use is the use of pharmaceutical drugs for an unapproved indication or in an unapproved age group, dosage, or route of administration.[1] Both prescription drugs and over-the-counter drugs (OTCs) can be used in off-label ways, although most studies of off-label use focus on prescription drugs.

Off-label use is generally legal unless it violates ethical guidelines or safety regulations. The ability to prescribe drugs for uses beyond the officially approved indications is commonly used to good effect by healthcare providers. For example, methotrexate is commonly used off-label because its immunomodulatory effects relieve various disorders.[2] However, off-label use can entail health risks and differences in legal liability. Marketing of pharmaceuticals for off-label use is usually prohibited.

I just wonder if this will be just the first of multiple installments?...I'm thinking it's possible this thing could last a year, maybe longer.

It actually wouldn't surprise me. The Trump administration has control over nothing. Now they have concerns over the internet crashing which would be a real shit show!

If S2 goes down there will be nothing left but to riot in the streets. At a safe distance from other rioters, of course.

I can’t even imagine (still, going back two years now saying this) in any way, however so slightly even defending Trump. It’s incredible. He is such a fucking clown and now flat out endangering the lives of people by what he has said and done but no he’s misunderstood and it’s not his fault. Jesus Christ

Sly, I clearly said I have no problems with pointing out Trump’s many mistakes. What I objected to at the start of my quixotic posting this morning is that they were seemingly spending ALL of their efforts on that instead of covering the important news issued by the FDA that they ARE studying the drug and will be granting approval of its use on a case by case basis. That is the important news, not that Trump muffed the message again.

It's not the press' job to prop up the POTUS...he's supposed to act like and speak as the leader of the free world for christ sakes.

No. Not really into guns. This whole episode kind of makes me want to get one, but honestly, my Samurai skills should be good enough.

Stop being obtuse. It’s the press’s job to impart information. They could simply have said, “The president is wrong yet again. The FDA has not given outright approval of this drug for COVID-19, but is allowing it on a case-by-case basis when requested by a physician.” Impart actual important information, not just “Trump is a dickhead and we hate him!”

Excuse me?..."obtuse"?...was that really necessary?

The press IS imparting information...and if there information does not bolster your opinion, I'm sorry.

It seems to me that you and others are working really hard not to understand what I am saying. All I saw this morning was “Trump is wrong!” relative to the drug approval. This, despite the fact AT THE SAME PRESS CONFERRNCE the head of the FDA explained what the correct information was. How is the press doing its job when it omits the important part of the story?

Those Samurai skills will only help if you are facing a bunch of unarmed Samurai's and there's not many of them around.

Hard to tell when you're serious sometimes...I hope this is not one of those serious times.

I'm not going to go around in a riot. I've got better sense than that. I live in a pretty isolated/safe community as well.

While I'm bored, I'll probably youtube knife/sword excercises on youtube and do them. Practice the throwing knives, etc.

Oh, I fully understand what you're saying...and I fully disagree with it.
