An Man Died After Self-Medicating With A Drug Trump Promoted As A Potential Treatment For The Coronavirus

it as a"wonder drug" that was once only available through veterinarians — for saltwater fish, not humans. The site is currently sold out of the drug.

"We understand people are panicked and looking for answers," Alexis Kramer-Ainza, spokesperson for Banner Health, told BuzzFeed News."This is not the way to handle it. Self-medicating will only cause more damage." Chloroquine, which has been used in various medications to treat malaria and lupus, has been in the news recently because doctors in countries including South Korea, China, and France, have reported positive results when administered to COVID-19 patients, the New York TimesTrump has repeatedly chalked the drug up as instrumental in the fight against the coronavirus.

You guys are absolute 🚮. All credibility of journalism lost!

So much journalism here!

It’s hydroxychloroquine, not chloroquine phosphate.

EnemyOfThePeople

FISH TANK CLEANER. IT WAS FISH TANK CLEANER YOU IDIOT. STOP.

Omg you effing twits, it was fish tank cleaner.

STAAAHPPP this headline even for you buzzfeed is shameful. This man took FISH TANK CLEANER, which is a nonmedical FORM of chloroquine. It’s tragic but it is always a gross risk to take anything off label like that. Please speak to your doctor first 😩

This is a blatant lie. You need to remove this garbage immediately and stop spreading lies!

the only question is how many votes over 80,000,000 will trump get

A man? Did you just assume his gender? This is not a good look, problematic. Also, when did fish tank cleaner become a drug? Buzzfeed, forever the bottom feeders.

Correction: he self medicated with fish tank cleaner that he found on a shelf. He didnt have access to the real drug. Please check your headlines,

This is another fake news lie. These people took an industrial koi pond cleaner, NOT the drug President Trump has promoted.

He drank fish tank chemicals...check your stories!

“an man......”

realDonaldTrump

bri_sacks NO, he drank fish tank cleaner that had a similar name to a drug mentioned during a presser.

Fire your editor

clearly a reader...

Stop lying. The man and his wife ingested fish tank cleaner. The combination therapy of Hydroxychloroquine & Azithromycin that Trump said showed promise is currently being tested in New York, based on the same French report that Trump cited.

'A man died after drinking Aquarium cleaner' fixed it for you

You should delete this.

Oh please. This is beyond irresponsible. You are officially a rag. Blocked FakeNews

This post is just wrong. Trump did not promote the fish tank pills. A man heard “something” and took his fish cleaner without asking Google even.

Imagine trying to blame trump for 2 people ingesting fish tank cleaner

It wasn’t a drug. It was fish tank cleaner.

FIFY: An Man Died After Self-Medicating With Fish Tank Cleaner Containing A Drug Similar To What Trump Promoted As A Potential Treatment For The Coronavirus

Come on buzzfeed, you have the largest community but still doesn't know the different of using 'A' and 'An'

Idiot! Where did he get it? It was probably not even real

*A Man

TitusNation What do you think?

Shouldn’t that have legal consequences

We could make a joke about thats what you get for listening to trump. We could make a serious observation about how dangerous trump's influence has become. Either way no one's going to care. The people that know he's and idiot already know, and those who don't refuse to listen.

JElvisWeinstein You may see this as a bug. I see it as a feature.

Well he’s an idiot

An man?

Those meds together are hella dangerous, quick Trump take'em!!

POTENTIAL as in not approved don’t blame Trump when other countries have been using it already, click bait, people also should ingest anything bought at a pet store

DO NOT take pills meant to go in your fish tank.... ever. I hope enough people see it put them in ICU for trying this so others don’t do it. Fish pills are not just meds, tons of unknown additives, don’t know strength, and Dr’s are only hopeful drug works anyway.

This is trash buzzfeed shame on you for capitalizing on people’s fear in this time of crisis.

realDonaldTrump POTUS GOP this is what happens under Trump ShameOnYou for only caring about yourself, polls, &getting reelected, so you lie to people. Docs& nurses need PPENow DoYourJob BailOutThePeople NoCorporateBailouts
