I really do wish trump would shut his trap.  he has no business talking about medical issues.

Oh BS, of course he does. He had a genius uncle that went to MIT and that rubbed off enough that all the medical think he understand this better than they do.

And he know he is always right. His nice big hamberber gut tells him so

can't he be sued for malicious negligence?

So glad you are finally realizing this.  You will make a good conservative yet.


BTW the person in this article listened to a news broadcast about this 'product' and decided they had some.  Unfortunately it was not a medicinal formula.

Very sad.

[souldoubt]

The president is an idiot but that aside this is Darwinism at it's finest.  Anyone who randomly takes something without consulting a medical professional or in this case takes something used to clean an aquarium (or any cleaner for that matter) should be in the first wave of any herd thinning. 

[NomoreDramaQ1015]

This isn't the first time I've heard about something like this unfortunately.   I've read about it before in other situations.  If it wasn't they heard it on the news they likely would have read it on a blog somewhere and decided it was a great idea.

 A quick Google search would have told this man the two are not equivalent and that the fish supplement is not for human consumption.   The package itself should say that.  He chose to ingest it and sadly lost his life because of it.

I’m too fiscally sound and pro-living to be a conservative. But thanks for playing.

No accounting for Darwin.....

But of course, if tRump says he has a good feeling about a drug, we all know what that means.  I mean.....after all, he could have been a scientist because he was so smart.

My dad went to MIT and in his heydey could be considered a genius.

One stroke and at least a decade of Fox News later, and he is a die-hard Trumpette alt right conspiracy Rush Limbaugh fan, and nothing up to and including Armageddon is gonna change his mind.

So sad.

but he is a health expert because....his Uncle is one.....and that means......that he has the best health genes......

[NomoreDramaQ1015]

I remember the last time this happened.  It was with West Nile.  It got so bad that all the local pet stores had to pull their aquarium supplements behind the counter.

Well, actually - - No his uncle wasn't.

John G. Trump was an accomplished electrical engineer who went on to become a professor emeritus at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. link

See, sciency capability is not only genetic but also generic.

Sweet does that mean I can go give a lecture on particle physics?  I have a degree in Biology.

My gut is telling me I have authority to announce Pluto is a planet again.  If Trump is a scientist then that makes me an astrophysicist.


God I'm losing it.

I dated a girl a couple of times in college who was doing something or other in some science field. My gut is telling me to eat a late lunch.

I'm dyslexic so I actually like new math once it's been explained to me.   At least the way our school system teaches it is that there are multiple ways to solve a math problem, you use whichever tool works for you and gets you to the right answer.  Unbeknowst to me that is what I've been doing my whole life because nobody bothered to look into why I struggled so I had to develop coping methods on my own.

Old school math teaching did not work for me.  I've spent 36 years thinking I was too stupid to do math.  It's been a relief to realize that it's not that I am stupid, it's that my brain isn't wired to process the way I was taught.

Both DDs graduated in the mid-2000s. When they were learning "new math" my oldest was frustrated with it. They were not being taught traditional methods. So I tried teaching her how I learned it, and then it all clicked for her. However, she got poor grades anyway, because the teachers were looking for students papers to show they worked out the problems with new methods. She had correct answers but old method.



DD2 refused to learn the old methods from even though she struggled with the new methods. She stubbornly said she needs to learn it the way it was being taught. I couldn't help her because I found the new methods very confusing. The process to arrive at the same answer seemed too convoluted.

Because some idiot ate an aquarium cleaner? It wasn’t even the right drug.

the question was more general than that.

can someone who tells you that a drug is safe to use be held liable if it is not?

[pulmonarymd]

He shouldn’t even be talking about it. It’s irresponsible at best and potentially negligent. The data to support its use is so thin it isn’t worth talking about. He should be focusing on far more urgent matters, and leave treatment to the physicians and scientists

yes, we all know that.

[happyhoix]

Well, it didn't help that trump promoted this stuff as miracle cure, but damn, how stupid do you have to be to eat koi pond treatment chemicals as a 'preventative' to a virus? 

[djAdvocate]

if I were to tell one of my employees that they could use a dust mask in a hazardous fume environment, and that employee died, I would absolutely be on the hook for that.

I realize that the relationship is different, so I would assume that the penalty would be LESS for making a facebook blog to some rando saying the same thing, but......
