Gohmert says he will take hydroxychloroquine as COVID-19 treatment

Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) said Wednesday he will take an anti-malaria drug that experts have warned doesnt treat the coronavirus after he tested positive for the virus.
"My doctor and I are all in," Gohmert said about hydroxychloroquine during a Wednesday evening interview with Fox News, according to Newsweek.
"I got a text before I came on from a friend doctor who just found out he had it, and he started the regimen too zinc and hydroxychloroquine. And that will start in a day or two, so thank you," the congressman added.
Congressional aides confirmed Wednesday that Gohmert, who has largely opted against wearing a mask around the Capitol, tested positive for COVID-19.

(16,932 posts)I just don't get what's so damn hard about understanding and appreciating scientific data for this idiots. Yes, there were some thoughts early on anecdotally that hydroxychloroquine might be effect. However, many of us pointed out the flaws in that initial report and, as predicted, none of the actual data in trials supports using the drug! Why keep pushing this crap unless you're just so drunk on Dear Leader's bs or you're trying to make a buck off the drug!? The data is the data, there's no "I believe this or that to be so so it is" when it comes to data.

(296 posts)Trump is concerned, He lied about taking the drug. Hydroxychloroquine is only prescribed for someone who HAS COVID19! It is NOT a preventative to contracting the virus. If we are to believe Trump took it, it means he actually had contracted COVID. Gohmert does have COVID, but whether he takes Hydroxychloroquine OR NOT. We only have his word and you just KNOW he will claim Hydroxychloroquine saved him. After all Trump has a tax paid supply he has to pawn off on the gullible.

(4,376 posts)and he will have other meds too...Care that the rest of us don't have access to....
And in the end this hydroxychloroquine stuff will be claimed by stumpy as a success....
The country doesn't need more smoke and mirrors, they need factual data on treatment...

Otherwise you have to assume Louie is dumb enough to take hydroxychloroquine.
Oh. Yeah I guess it's possible.

(21,775 posts)Trump never took it either. He pretended to take it because now he is saying see it didn't hurt me. Gohmert is doing the same thing.
He will get the best supporting actor award to Trump's best acting award.

(13,717 posts)he take remdesiver (?) or that cortisone drug since it is proven effective. Would in no way take hydroxychloroquine since it can cause heart and eye problems.
SergeStorms
(19,210 posts)appear correct in his pushing of hydroxychloroquine as a "cure" for the corona virus. It's more a loyalty oath than an honest treatment. That's for public dissemination. Gomer might not actually have the virus. That's another "loyalty test" by Der Gropenfuhrer.

(10,158 posts)It is not known if this ass would even have been symptomatic of COVID-19....but if he survives (and well over 90% do) viral clearing will be attributed to Trump's non-efficacious stupidly stockpiled drug.

(25,346 posts)fake and a set-up. They're just saying he tested positive so he could blame the mask for contracting Covid in the first place and use Trump's magic drug to say he's been cured.
This whole incident is fake.

(21,775 posts)Funny how it got more publicity because Gohmert was scheduled to fly on AF 1 with the president. Republicans are damn good at controlling the narrative.
I would bet good money that Trump is making money off hydrocloroxidine. He sold millions of doses to Brazil and what happened in Brazil? The president of Brazil claims he got Covid and he too claims he takes hydrocloroxidine. Coincidence?

Since he reports his medicine, I hope he reports the side-effectsif he lives to tell about it.
