A drug infamously touted by Donald Trump has been linked to nearly 17,000 Covid deaths in a new scientific study.
Researchers say that the anti-malaria drug hydroxychloroquine was prescribed to patients during the first wave of Covid-19 “despite the absence of evidence documenting its clinical benefits.”
The French study estimated that 16,990 patients in the US, France, Belgium, Italy, Spain and Turkey may have died as a result of the drug.
The study has been published in the February issue of Biomedicine & Pharmacotherapy.
Researchers say the data used comes from a study published in the Nature scientific journal, which reported that there was an 11 per cent increase in mortality rate linked to the drug’s prescription.
Even if 10% of those people took it because he told them to, that’s 1700 deaths on his head.
I haven’t even killed one person.
You’re way behind… /s
Shiity kd/r
Given they’re still alive, their k/d is undefined
No, it’s infinite
Is that a math joke? 😋
or -inf if you aproach the limit to 0 from the other side of the number axis.
So they either become an archangel in heaven or archdemon in hell. It’s 50/50 but either way you become something great, so remember kids, don’t kill anybody.
Also remember - don’t die.
Assuming x∈ℝ, x/0 is undefined iff x=0. For all x>0, x/0 = ∞.

1st, I doubt he cares or even thinks about it.
2nd, if we’re talking about his actions leading to deaths, I’d say this one is his top-performer (5/10/2018):

You’ll never make it as a conservative.
That’s the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me. ;)
Have you even made the effort?
People are so lazy these days.
Sorry, I’m a millennial. I can’t afford a gun because I buy so much avocado toast and coffee.
Heck, when I was a kid, people were buying rocks with googly eyes on them. You can’t kill a person with a rock if you just put in a little effort! Have to explain everything to kids these days.
As a millennial, I my genx/bb father never stuck around, so “throwing” is only something I can do with garbage—in the correct receptacle, compost, trash, cans, plastic, glass. Don’t tell me it goes to the same spot, I can’t hear you with my AirPods in. La la la
There’s no such thing as an innocent billionaire.
No one gets to $1bn without being a total cunt. It’s impossible.
That you know of
Ignorance is bliss
If you’re counting indirect deaths, then you’ve probably been responsible for someone’s death and not known it. (Edit: If it’s not obvious, this is supposed to be a bit tongue in cheek)
There’s a big difference between the kind of causality where you cause someone to leave their house 5 minutes later than they would have, ultimately resulting in a fatal car crash that wouldn’t have happened otherwise, and people dying because they did something you encouraged them to do
Yes, in hindsight, I don’t think “responsible” was the right word.
