Wow, I had no idea, that wanting drugs to go through clinical trials first to prove it works, is being against something.
Literally nobody on the left said it shouldn't be used if the conditions are so bad that a patient is desperate to try it.
What we said was, it's irresponsible for Trump to promote it as if it is the answer because he's giving people "hope". More like, he's reaching for **** because at that point things were going downhill fast and he needed to look like he knew what the **** he was talking about (a common trope for him when doing pressers).
It also was a bit disturbing that people in Trump's circles and those around him in the White House were heavily invested in hydroxychloroquine.
But yes, blame libs for trying to keep expectations tempered by saying, run it through clinical trials first. It's so desperate that we have to give these unproven drugs to patients, on a virus that wans't a big deal to begin with.
