Why did you omit the first part of the quote? “If the public health professionals … tell me to take I will absolutely take it. But if Donald Trump tells us to take it, I’m not taking it.”
I think this is a reasonable message of caution when talking about someone pushing HCQ and drinking bleach on the daily.
- seriousquestion 5y agoDoes the first part matter in the context of what the OP was talking about? If Trump mandated it many would not take it on that basis alone. That’s the point I’m responding to. “If the public health professionals, if Dr. Fauci, if the Doctors, tell us we should take it, I'll be the first in line to take it, absolutely. But if Donald Trump tells us that we should take it I'm not taking it.“ Note “But if…”. That programmers aren’t able to parse this if else statement is concerning.
- organic_popcorn 5y agoThe second part doesn’t? She’s just saying she won’t take it because Donald Trump alone said to.

- kristjansson 5y agoSurprisingly, people don't speak in rigorous, syntactically correct if-statements.
- jjeaff 5y agoWith context it is obvious that she is just saying if Trump alone says take it, then she won't be taking it. Which is understandable in the context of the moment since I believe it had been recently revealed that trump was communicating with the FDA demanding that they approve it immediately.
