Pennsylvania nursing home for veterans gave Covid cocktail recommended by Trump and people died.

A nursing home in Pennsylvania relied heavily on President Donald Trump’s favorite COVID-19 treatment earlier this year — and the results were disastrous.

The Washington Post reports that the Southeastern Veterans’ Center in Spring City, Pennsylvania rushed to administer Trump-touted anti-malarial drug hydroxychloroquine to residents — even if they hadn’t even been tested for COVID-19.

“For more than two weeks in April, a drug regimen that included hydroxychloroquine was routinely dispensed at the struggling center, often for patients who had not been tested for COVID-19 and for those who suffered from medical conditions known to raise the risk of dangerous side effects,” the Post reports.


This really pisses me off. These folks were at the mercy of doctors influenced by Trump thinking and they paid with their lives.

I guess the republican leader got bored with insulting veterans, and decided to step things up.

Why do Republicans routinely piss all over our active-duty troops and veterans? That really sucks.
