Man dies, wife in ICU after ingesting fish tank cleaner, Dem MD blames Trump




That tweet is causing an uproar among the Resistance, but we’ve already been informed that taking 2 grams of the medication could cause an overdose; it’s prescribed typically in tablets of 200 mg.
Dr. Dena Grayson

Also, if you click through to the hospital's website and read the rest of the story, the couple wasn't even self-prescribing chloroquine tablets; they were ingesting an ingredient in aquarium cleaner:

A man has died and his wife is under critical care after the couple, both in their 60s, ingested chloroquine phosphate, an additive commonly used at aquariums to clean fish tanks. Within thirty minutes of ingestion, the couple experienced immediate effects requiring admittance to a nearby Banner Health hospital.

Well, yeah, fish tank cleaner will do that.

#1 I understand it works like a charm - if you're an Englishman or a mad dog.

#2 Seems like the medical board needs to check the efficiency of the doctor's practice. Definitely a lack of competent diagnosis.

#3 ^ Absolutely. Her comment, "same ingredient" sold me on that notion.

After blowing through her resume it appears to me at least that Grayson's career ladder was greased with political appointments.

Definitely a liar, fool to be avoided.

#6 Grayson has a Medical Degree (M.D.). In the early 2000s, she shifted her focus to medical research as a way of treating multiple patients by finding cures.

As I've said, I've been taking 400 mg of hydroxycloquine for 13 years with no side effects. That I remember, anyway.

IIRC, 600 mg was consider therapeutic in the early study. Not sure what the dose in fish tank cleaner is.

But the Dr. is a Trump-hating sensationalist, to be sure.

#10 As I see it, the couple was effectively cured of covid-19 (whether they had it or not) along with anything else that ailed them. Also, a cleansing of the gene fish tank/pool/whatever.

#11 They got the reading down but the math was lacking. Math be hard.

#12 Maybe not so much reading as matching letters.
