Letter: What have you got to lose? Everything.
(John Locher | AP file photo) An arrangement of hydroxychloroquine pills in Las Vegas.
The president has repeatedly claimed, with zero supporting clinical research, that hydroxychloroquine can cure COVID-19, and repeatedly urging, “What have you got to lose?”
The FDA has now reported that hydroxychloroquine is worse than ineffective; it’s potentially deadly.
Yet our Legislature, dominated by Trump loyalists, is pressing forward on distributing this drug and spending a lot of our money to buy it.
We must not forget this in November.
