Coronavirus: Trump defends hydroxychloroquine again

The 73-year-old president surprised reporters in May by saying he had begun taking the unproven medication. On Tuesday, Mr Trump said he had taken hydroxychloroquine for a 14-day period and experienced no side effects, declaring again that the drug was effective for treating coronavirus.

In the now-banned video, doctors were shown claiming that hydroxychloroquine is a"cure for Covid" and that"you don't need a mask" to slow the spread of the coronavirus. The clip has been was shared to Mr Trump's 84 million Twitter followers. and has been viewed more than 17 million times on Facebook.

"I wasn't making claims," Mr Trump said of the tweet."It's the recommendations of many other people including doctors."

Be careful which sources you read? Trump is not a doctor and reliable sources like WHO have denounced this drug.

We should try to understand him. He’s old. Old people sometimes has strong belief on “miracle cure ”🤣🤣

Hydroxychloroquine is used throughout the world for the sickest of patients in ICU. It is not a cure. It has not been proven But it is used. Patients recover faster.

He has got mountains of it to shift.

Gettingtrump Proven fact jack!!!

Hydroxychloroquine works. Pass it on. And it's president Trump to you too.

Wow .... see the problem is this, Trump is pushing a drug that is not safe to promote right now because there simply isn't the scientific data to back up his claims and a real chance it could cause more problems. Any drug needs to be subject to testing and trials before its safe.

So the WHO has found ‘no evidence’ that it works to treat coronavirus, even though countless doctors have reported to the contrary with hundreds of their patients?!Maybe it has something to do with WHO’s primary donor, bill gates, who would much prefer we are all vaccinated?!🤔🤫

Not again...

Good

Fact check this BBC

Give up BBC

Maybe this is why.

The bbcnews are performing a valuable service here. How else would the world know just how deluded he is. What a nutter!

I find it very sinister the fact the mainstream media and a lot of politicians are trying to suppress the use of this drug. Is it just because the president advocated its use? Because they really do hate him that much, I think that’s evident..

you'd think he had shares in the company that manufacture it!

There are now over 40 clinical trials proving the efficacy and safety of HCL. Please remove this dangerous piece of disinformation.

Oh for goodness sake let him have it if he wants it... Bigliest amount...

I believe in my heart he is right. He is POTUS therefore privy to certain info. If he is still going on abt it, there's certainly an aspect of truth in it.

with titles like this, you're spreading misinformation 👏👏😠 Just look at the comments and see how many people have been misled

That would be becouse, in the field it is a valid treatment, but has not had formal clinical trials for covid 19 usage and therefore cannot be professionally recommended. Happy trump bump you hacks.

Hydroxychloroquine has done very well in treating those with no underlying health conditions. Where it fails is with those with previous illnesses who do tend to die from covid and the hydro doesn't help. This is what is being investigated now.

He has gone nuts

I just wish he would down a couple of pints of it.

The trials restarted in the UK 2 months ago!

Stupid us stupid does. Again.

One of the presidents that don’t seem to have caught it they all seem to be getting it 😳

Isn’t it funny that the same Trump supporters who believe his HCQ claims despite zero credible scientific evidence to support it, are also the same people who refuse to wear a mask that could help save lives because the science is “questionable”.

What a dangerous egomaniac! That people believe this guy is very disturbing.

Could be the 56 million doses of the drug in federal stockpiles plus his financial ties to it ?

Funny why the BBC says the HCQ is unproven, when it's been used for 70 years. Harvard and Yale have come out supporting this treatment and there are many other papers supporting this. Why are you supporting vaccines which are unproven to work and more deadly than the virus?.

Unproven, you dense?

My fellow Americans...oops, sorry, the bleach didn't work. Try hyd... instead! New cure coming next week 🤣🤣🤣🤣

But you support a rushed Vaccine!! DefundBBC

Was personally involved in the drug trials, its doesn’t work!!!

Wha? Did I say that already? Oh time for my nap. What’s that big red button do? Oops!

It’s the only big word he can say so he’s sticking with it!

Madman endorsing something that doesn’t work. No surprise. Next it will be inject napalm it will fry all your blood cells and kill the virus

Dozy pushing drugs again.

The example of money and ignorance bringing you where you shouldn't be .... A rich idiot

Surely it cant be worse than whatever Bill Gates is whipping up

Ok i know trump has negative brain cells and also once suggested injecting bleach to fight this virus, however what would be the harm in trying this drug if its been shown to work, id Dr Immanuel is anything to go by. Surely they can at least trial it and see if it works?

Suprised he can pronounce it🙄

Bye bye Scum media Tick tock

Trump family is heavily invested in hydroxychloroquine, no question!

That’s because it works! You totally disgust me! Fake News! Fake News! Fake News!

He sure gave sarahcpr a slew of new material today, wowzer! 👀

...and so do numerous frontline doctors, experts, and studies but the lying BBC just carries on regardless. DefundTheBBC

This stand, in favour of the effective cheap life saving treatment of COVID19 with Hydroxychloroquine could well win Trump the next election.

😂

And so does every other Dr. with the will to help people. They are not towing the line for the gatesfoundation chipping.

There are doctors that proclaim abortion is a good thing, yet they don't get censored. It's all political.

Dumber just get dumber

just saw a video American Doctors having a impomptu press conference about how there all treating their patients from diabetics to asmatics with a combination of drugs including Hydroxcholoquine one doctor said she has treated 350 patients not one death all recovered odd

Yet there are doctors in the US claiming it has worked?

Hear from HARVEY A. RISCH, MD, PHD , PROFESSOR OF EPIDEMIOLOGY, YALE SCHOOL OF PUBLIC HEALTH Either big pharma are paying you or you are still biased against Trump, either way you should be defunded DefundTheBBC

Hundreds of doctors censured giving statements that hydroxycholquine, zythramyacin (Sp) and zinc worked on hundreds of patients. Patients with chronic conditions also. The big pharma doesn't want the information out. No money in it for them. They are letting people die 😭

And he was censored...because heaven forbid anyone learn the truth about hydroxycholquine and that it works. We don't want cheap availability and bill gates would loose billions in revenues

Trump took it for 14 days and he is still a blithering idiot. So from that we have to assume that if your beyond help it can't hurt you.

Good. It works.

The next COVID 'cure': take an eye of newt, left leg of toad, beak of a hoopoe; add a cup of water, an oxo cube then boil and stir for 10 minutes. Twisted ignorance in high places is rapidly extinguishing the light and hope of science. Dangerous times indeed.

Holy fuck, there is no limit to this morons ignorance🤣🤣

Why is this man still allowed to be called President? Hasn’t he already caused enough grief, anger, sorrow, selfishness, pain .....and the list goes on!

He has a massive following that hangs on his every word. I know many of them.

There are numerous reports showing chloroquine reduces mortality rate when given before the onset of ARDS. I did a paper in 1986 showing it stopped ARDS when given before the onset of the condition. C19 patients give 7 days notice befor the onset on ARDS. But only before ARDS

Stunned the executives at Facebook use a Poynter-owned software service named PolitiFact to verfiy Frontline Doctors of America's medical evidence Ironically, Influence Watch indiciates both Poynter & PolitiFact have a strong left-leaning bias

Definitively prove or disprove it then.

Data Science & Big Data Analysis are accurate & reliable across all disciplines, specialties, & industries

I think we should look into hydroxychloroquine.

Interesting that the results of RECOVERY trial being completely ignored. Not much money to be made for him off dexamethasone

I’d like to apologize to the British people. We’re not all like this.

And the BBC is corrupt ScumMedia

If he is right the BBC will never admit it

He said its beneficial if you take it in the early stages of contracting covid. Then says he took it for 14 days. So the logic suggests that Trump has had covid.

Can only assume Trump invested a lot of money in a rubbish solution. What else would explain the obsession?

Does he have shares in it?

Can we just say, out loud, please have his doctor prescribe large doses for him?

As do hundreds of doctors

Did Bill Gates threaten to pull the next round of funding if you didn’t blast Trump for his correct opinion on treatment? You guys have sold your souls and we won’t forget your role in this charade. DefundTheBBC

TrumpGriftsYouDie lyingTrump LyingTrump TrumpVirus TrumpIsACompleteFailure TrumpFailedAmerica TrumpGestapo TrumpKnewAndDidNothing TrumpResignNow

Wth do you know? Wth does he know? All of you, this is enough. Stop politicizing medicine.

Of course he does

He’s corrupt to the core. He doesn’t give a damn about people’s lives.

Yes, because it works

*tries to sell

bbcnews Your article explicitly says 'There is no evidence the drug can fight the virus, and regulators warn it may cause heart problems' Yet there are hcqworks videos allegedly being posted who claim this approved drug has helped them. Perhaps warrants further honest debate?

trump andabunch of doctors,but forget the doctors,let's talk about trump .media corporation at it's finest!

SO WHAT’S GOING ON BORIS?

Oh dear. He's been listening to Dr Nikolas Van Helsing again, professor of proctology and other related tendencies. A graduate of the University of Rangoon. And assorted night classes at the Knoxville Tennessee school of faith healing.

That is because Hydroxychloroquine, Zinc, Z-Pack will stop the COVID-19 virus and help people get better. This does not fit the democrat party or the democrat party propaganda media's agenda to destroy trump. So tired of the media's lies. gokickrocksandpoundsand

So do Doctors

funny how the hydroxychloroquine treatment is not promotoed because all the companies making the vaccines and promoting big pharma (including the BBC) will not make tonnes and tonnes of money...

😜🤡😷😜🤡

لا تعرفه رئس دوله وإلا تجار ادويه

You mean he defends a drug that physicians have said works? That the Yale professor of epidemiology said works and should be used at the earliest stages of hospitalisation? The BBC is so ideologically driven it'd rather bash Trump than investigate if the claims have merit.

Did he defend drinking disinfectant too? Lol

Let's hope he doesn't try and spell it.

It works.

Hi...

Thank you mr president

He needs to rest 😂
