For the last 3 weeks the lead story across most news media has been Trump’s advocacy of the unproven drug Hydrochloroquine and his clumsy allusion to injecting “disinfectant” to fight COVID. Let’s accept he did both without conditions or qualifications, just for argument’s sake. Will these end up mattering in the grand scheme of things? No. Doctors still have to prescribe Hydroxychloroquine. If they do it primarily because Trump said he was hopeful, well what’s the point of a medical license? And if a few dumb people inject Chlorox, it is indeed a tragedy (well, maybe not in a Darwinian sense) but the numbers will be tiny.
