If it had been Obama, they would have touted his genius for even mentioning the possibility.

Quote:Donald Trump Jr. slammed a news article MSN posted Friday that criticized his father for touting a malaria drug that could potentially slow the spread of the coronavirus because it’s reportedly deadly if administered at a level of more than 2 grams.

The article, published by Bloomberg News with the headline “Virus Drug Touted by Trump, Musk Can Kill In Just Two Grams,” highlighted potential dangers of the decades-old malaria drug chloroquine, which has been linked to some positive findings related to recovery from the coronavirus.

“What’s your point?” Trump Jr. asked on Twitter. “2 grams of caffeine can kill you too, but no one is planning on prescribing that much.”

“This bull**** is why everyone hates and doesn’t trust the media, he added. “They are trying to create fear for clicks with misleading and irrelevant info. You people truly suck!”

The tweet was liked and retweeted by thousands after just a few minutes.

Trump Jr. wasn’t the only verified Twitter account to suggest that chloroquine is not unique when it comes to useful drugs being deadly depending on the dose.

“FACTS,” Dr. Milton Wolf wrote before mentioning 3 points. “1. Every drug ever in history kills if overdosed. 2. Even water kills if taken in excess. 3. The American media is garbage. They'll claim a cure is a killer just to bash @realDonaldTrump. They are the enemy of the people.”

“Wait until you hear about morphine,” National Review editor Charles C.W. Cooke responded.

“The corporate press is the enemy of the people,” author Michael Malice added.

President Trump has routinely expressed optimism that malaria drugs can be used to ease the symptoms of the coronavirus that has killed almost 300 people in the United States and infected tens of thousands more.

“HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE & AZITHROMYCIN, taken together, have a real chance to be one of the biggest game changers in the history of medicine,” the president tweeted Saturday. “The FDA has moved mountains - Thank You! Hopefully they will BOTH (H works better with A, International Journal of Antimicrobial Agents).....be put in use IMMEDIATELY. PEOPLE ARE DYING, MOVE FAST, and GOD BLESS EVERYONE! @US_FDA @SteveFDA @CDCgov @DHSgov."

Israeli drug company Teva Pharmaceutical Industries announced Thursday they are donating 6 million doses of hydroxychloroquine to the U.S., with millions more to come.

Researchers recently released findings showing that six patients treated with hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin tested negative for coronavirus after six days and 57.1% of 20 patients treated only with hydroxychloroquine tested negative after six days.

Trump has been widely criticized by media outlets for being intrigued by the possibility of effectively treating the coronavirus, as evidenced by a Mother Jones article Saturday accusing the president of “pushing a dangerous drug” and urging people not to listen to his advice.
