There is now strong evidence that the fish tank cleaner lady intentionally killed her husband and took a small dose herself and made up the whole Trump told me story.

A) It's not fish tank cleaner, it's chloroquine phosphate, hydroxychloroquine is a derivative of it, both are being proposed as treatments.

B) the police say there is no evidence.

My comment was in regards to the woman who possibly murdered her husband by giving a different product to her husband who had no symptoms and then blaming it on Trump.

The woman gave her husband chloroquine phosphate. It's known to be toxic, thats why there's the big pushback from the medical community on giving it out in mass. And that's a pretty wild claim that she possibly murdered her husband when the police say that's not what happened.

First, I don't know where you got that number, but I would certainly still have questions.

I do, he's quoting Dr Zelenko. Why don't you have a peek at his treatment protocol... Notice anything missing?

He doesn't test his patients to confirm they even have COVID-19

He said he has largely not had his patients tested for coronavirus, because he worried that waiting for test results to begin treatment would compromise the treatment’s effectiveness.

There is evidence that people taking the drug for the on-label uses e.g. lupus have no reported cases of COVID-19

holy shit this is a dangerous claim. Even if chloroquine and/or derivatives had any effect people with lupus are far more prone to infections and chloroquine is at best claimed to be a helping hand, not an outright cure. Every lupus oriented organization is telling lupus patients right now to be extremely cautious even if they are on HCQ

Or when you take it in the form of aquarium cleaner that has lots of OTHER possible chemicals in it.

I see you didn't bother to click my link. A) it's not aquarium cleaner. It's fish ich treatment. B) no it doesn't in fact they sell it as pure chloroquine phosphate, there's more filler chemicals in the human version than there are in the aquarium one.

We're looking for evidence here. Dr Zelenko isn't even testing his patients to confirm they have COVID-19

All I ever saw was MSNBC, CNN, et al claiming it was the same as fish tank cleaner,

They never claimed that. They claimed it was the same as chloroquine phosphate which is used to treat fish ich... and... it is.

The drug just can be fatal if the wrong dose is given.
