Steve M on the Duce's motives.
Nah. He did it because he's genuinely and honestly stupid.
About which see his latest brilliant medical suggestion, injecting disinfectant into patients' lungs.
I warned weeks ago that Fauci and Birx should have publicly denounced the notion that valuable research time and resources should be wasted on medically baseless - not to mention blatantly stupid - suggestions, and they did not.
I also warned they should have denounced the idea of forcing or even allowing doctors to use anything as a curative therapy not proven according to normal protocols and criteria of medical science to be safe and useful, and they did not.
So Trump ordered researchers to waste time and money on researching the curative value of hydroxychloroquine, which has turned out to be both useless and harmful for Coronavirus patients.
And he ordered that doctors actually use that drug therapeutically in such cases, which some actually did despite their Hippocratic Oath on some patients.
Just maybe it's time for Fauci and Birx to grow a pair and tell Boobie to his face that his ideas are childish and silly and he should just stop talking about serious matters to actual adults.
Update, MSNBC Dr. Kavita Patel agrees Birx should have boldly and frankly shut down the nonsense right then and there, as it came out of the president's mouth.
She says the medical profession is furious resources have been wasted and are still being wasted proving Trump's crackpot remedies are useless and even harmful.
They are not happy Fauci and Birx have not be much braver in resisting his idiocies, as they happen, in public.
The two should be as brave and principled as Dr. Bright, who refused to indulge the Duce's harmful nonsense even at the cost of his job.
The public needs to see how seriously this stupid president is letting them down, how unwilling and unable he is to actually understand and not foolishly sabotage real science.
Update. It is really so odd that he thinks he is entitled to a seat at a table where relevantly trained and expert docs are seriously discussing possible treatments, what might deserve researching, etc.
That he is qualified to offer ideas and even to urge upon them entire research projects devoted to his off-the-cuff thoughts what might work.
How does he not know that he, like the rest of us who are not relevantly prepared researchers, would not have the least idea where to start finding therapeutically effective drugs, what might be a cure, or how to make an effective vaccine?
How does he not know, as we know of ourselves, that he has no place at that table?
Steve Schmidt, on a YouTube clip of Joe S, suggested reconsideration of the 25th Amendment because of exactly this contretemps, though Willie and Joe immediately ran away from that.
