📌Playboy Magazine in 1990: Donald Trump (then a real estate magnate and private citizen) praised China for showing the "power of strength" via its notorious, bloody crackdown on pro-democracy protesters in Tiananmen Square.

Never forget.

2) There is always a quote. Here is the old playboy article. playboy.com/read/playboy-i…
3) quote: "When students poured into Tiananmen Square, the Chinese govt almost blew it. Then they were vicious, they were horrible, but they put it down with strength," Trump replied. "That shows you the power of strength. Our country is right now perceived as weak...”
4) “...as being spit on by the rest of the world."

On June 4, 1989, after several weeks of pro-democracy and pro-reform demonstrations, Chinese troops entered Tiananmen Square in Beijing and fired on unarmed people. Hundreds, possibly thousands, were killed.

For the record: I’m nervous about such big rallies during pandemic. DC area and Maryland/Virginia have not well contained the epidemic yet. Definitely wear masks, but they are not fool proof. But I’ve incredibly torn. BLM is an important movement to support ✊🏼. Please stay safe.
2) Some people may dislike me for speaking about my concern, but I’ve always spoken truth against all odds, against the group-think of academia at times, and against the stay-silent attitudes of others. But as epidemiologists, we need to speak the reality and not sugar coat it.
3) in Jan, when I shouted about the pandemic potential of COVID, I was shouted down by many. There was huge painful pressure on my family to endure, but it was the right thing to do. What is popular is not always right. What is right is not always popular. nymag.com/intelligencer/…

⚠️Zinc results from newest HCQ trial: People keep asking for zinc+HCQ, and the new 800-person trial from @boulware_dr’s trial did report in Supp Appendix 8: results show concomitant zinc did not augment HCQ. In fact, the HCQ results actually somewhat stronger if no zinc. #covid19 Image
2) The zinc*HCQ interaction was not significant. That means they didn’t augment or dampen each other in any synergistic effect. Proponents of zinc+HCQ is suggesting a synergy. But if anything there is a borderline trend toward a dampening negative interaction albeit non sig.
3) The stand alone zinc effect for COVID compatible was RR=1.23 (95% CI: 0.82-1.83). However this is not a trial of zinc per se. this is a crude analysis of zinc, and it doesn’t appear thoroughly adjusted per se. this a quick appendix analysis. Just to put fair caveat out there.

WHAT A MESS- “Lancet on Thursday retracted an influential study that raised alarms about the safety of the experimental Covid-19 treatments chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine amid scrutiny of the data underlying the paper”. 🔥 statnews.com/2020/06/04/lan…
2) The retraction came at the request of the authors of the study, published last month, who were not directly involved with the data collection and sources, the journal said.
3) “We can no longer vouch for the veracity of the primary data sources,” Mehra of Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Ruschitzka of University Hospital Zurich, and Patel of University of Utah said. “Due to this unfortunate development, the authors request that the paper be retracted.”
