the drug has poor results in protecting against COVID-19 and a recent Veterans Affairs study found that patients who took the drug died at a higher rate than those who did not. More research into the drug is still needed but their results indicate that hydroxychloroquine is not an effective treatment and should not be used on COVID-19 patients, said the study's authors.
“An association of increased overall mortality was identified in patients treated with hydroxychloroquine alone,” the authors wrote. “These findings highlight the importance of awaiting the results of ongoing prospective, randomized, controlled studies before widespread adoption of these drugs.
Dr. Deborah Birx, the Trump administration's coronavirus task force coordinator, told the president in front of reporters that she hasn't heard of those methods being used "as a treatment" for the virus. When reporters suggested to Trump that his public musings on a cure for the coronavirus could be dangerous, Trump became defensive. "I’m just here to present talent," he said. "I’m just here to present ideas because we want ideas to get rid of this thing.”The president's revelation that he's taking hydroxychloroquine shocked reporters, who immediately questioned the president to confirm he's taking the drug.
"If you are in a risky population here and you are taking this as a preventative treatment to ward off the virus or in a worst-case scenario you are dealing with the virus and you are in this vulnerable population, it will kill you," the Fox News anchor told viewers. "I cannot stress enough. This will kill you."
How inappropriate for an unproven president!!
Shouldn't the President be able to take the anti- malaria drug if he wants to?
No he’s not. He’s an idiot.
This is a med millions take daily. India has been giving it both as a treatment and a prophylactic & they are doing well. The american heart association just released data that in a study it caused no adverse effects & risk is small of any issues but People didn't tell u that
Dont believe a word he says 🤡🤬
So does it prove he has coronavirus? Or malaria? Or a pea sized brain?
That explains ALOT
I don’t believe the president is taking the drug that he says he’s taking this is just a publicity stunt fake news on his part again he lies too much And I definitely don’t believe what he saying we need proof that he’s taking it which again he’s gonna deny
He's a doctor after all! 😉
It’s an infomercial since he owns stock in the company that makes it.
🤣🤣🤣
🙏heart attack!
PLEASE... SOMEONE... ANYONE.... TELL HIM TO WASH IT DOWN WITH THE FUNKY LOOKING KOOLAIDE
I see there are still doctors that are willing to risk it all because if something happens to Trump, this doctor will lose his license and could face criminal charges
🤫 let him take it 🤫
Hopefully he drops dead. I cal that a win
please tell me it's cyanide
Ummmmm ... Trump lies about everyone.
realDonaldTrump Trump is so messed up. People follow him on his every word, he needs to watch what he says and does. One day it's gonna bit him the ass... And then of course he'll deny it ... But thats a whole other story.
My pops told me that when he was in Vietnam with the Marines he would take it all the time. He’s now 82 and still walks 18 holes every weekend. So much for the side effects ...
So, when is the malpractice suit getting filed on the physician that prescribed that?
Coming from Another scare tactic propaganda magazine. Can you tell what medication doesn't have side affects?!! This has worked, many doctors have stated that and the president does have the best doctor in the world! Come on, it works but y'all wanna keep people in fear😡
Wonder why he is taking it/or, wonder why he SAYS he is taking it. batshitcrazy
Everyone seems outraged yet tbh you think they’d be ok with it since they say it can cause death. He’s trying to prove a point. I take this medicine and I’m still standing
Nothing will kill him. He’s made a deal with the devil!
