Let's call a spade a spade. Trump, not 'some people'. Trump's medical training amounts to what, exactly? He heard that a drug has some beneficial effects on a similar disease and is all aboard, and HE is the one "some people say it's an amazing drug", "it can't hurt you" (except when it can), "I'm seeing people who will die without it" (based on what, exactly?). Oh, "and I directly profit from it".
People aren't screaming that HCQ "shouldn't be used", but that a President shouldn't be using his position (and complete lack of medical training) to be promising things that are at best unproven, and at worst, factually incorrect.
