Ohio state Rep. Tavia Galonski (D) said that she will make a "referral for crimes against humanity" over President Trump's promotion of the antimalarial drug hydroxychloroquine as a treatment for novel coronavirus, despite its unproven benefits and lack of Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval.
"I can't take it anymore. I've been to The Hague. I'm making a referral for crimes against humanity tomorrow," Galonski tweeted late Sunday.
"Today's press conference was the last straw," Galonski added. "I know the need for a prosecution referral when I see one."
Trump has repeatedly promoted hydroxychloroquine, which is approved to treat conditions like rheumatoid arthritis and lupus, as a potential treatment for the virus, which the FDA said last week has led to a shortage of the drug.
At a press briefing late Sunday, the president recommended the drug despite limited evidence of its efficacy in treating the virus, saying "What do you have to lose? I'm not looking at it one way or another. But we want to get out of this. If it does work, it would be a shame if we didn't do it early."
National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Anthony Fauci has reportedly been at odds with White House trade adviser Peter Navarro about promoting the drug, and said Sunday that its benefits remain largely unknown.
"The data are really just at best suggestive. There have been cases that show there may be an effect, and there are others to show there's no effect," Fauci said on CBS's "Face the Nation." "So I think in terms of science, I don't think we could definitively say it works."

Yawn ...
Trump for talking about a medicine that a lot of doctors think is effective in treating Chinese coronavirus but not The Chinese Communist Party for unleashing this plague on the earth?
The Fauci quote is worse. 6,000 doctors have said it works and this little prick says we have no reason to believe it does. The rep is just a another mental dwarf rat you can laugh off. Dr Fraud’s quote could cause people to die.
Then when she is coughing her lungs out and burning with fever, President Trump will hold up a bottle of hydroxychloroquine and laugh saying, No, now you cant take it.
Typical democrat...Ignore the potential remedy for the problem virus and politicize it...
American voters really, really need to see all this BS come November...
This effing psychopath.
This effing psychopath right here.
1) The drug works. STFU.
2) Crimes against humanity cannot be prosecuted when someone is attempting to help humanity, whether their facts are right or wrong. STFU.
3) Die of coronavirus, you effing psychopath.
But by all means, let her make a fool out of herself.
Youre much too nice. :^)
I give her two days.
We know that Fauci is a big fan of Hillary Clinton. Does he think that if there is a huge death toll in the US, Hillary could beat Trump in November? Is he that cynical or is he just being overly cautious?
re: “The data are really just at best suggestive. “
She’s a moron. But, we all knew that; she has a (D) after her name ...
She must be heavily invested in an expensive pharmaceutical cure.
She tweeted jtb1666@aol.com as her email address for volunteers. I hope nobody registers with high-volume spammers using her contact information.
"The data are really just at best suggestive. There have been cases that show there may be an effect, and there are others to show there's no effect,"..."So I think in terms of science, I don't think we could definitively say it works."
As a Dr. trained in science, he can't bring himself to say it is a cure because it has not underwent the usual scrutiny of numerous scientific studies, etc., etc. Not defending him, it is just how he looks at these things...
I guess this would mean something IF the US acknowledged the International Criminal Court.
Thank God we do NOT!

What’s this fascination with the devilish number 666?
Feels like a coordinated dump on Trump news day today. More so than most days.
This “crimes against humanity” report, plus here in WA local news reporting that the WA state AG is worried that President Trump will postpone the November election for his own political gain, also several reports that Fed govt waited 2 months before placing any PPE orders, and then a report that POTUS is “touting” a covid-19 drug that could kill people.
The basic principle of medicine is first, do no harm. This drug has been used for decades and does not even require a prescription in malaria infested areas.
In hospital treatment, it is safe for most people, although people with seriously impaired liver or kidney function would be counseled against it.
So in other words, theres no harm to be done. It obviously helps, even if the 80-yr old Fauci (52 years as a government employee) probably hasnt done a professional course for decades and is way behind the curve in his training, calls the data and studies from Europe and Asia anecdotal.
But even if he considers this anecdotal, why not let docs use it, because it may help and it doesnt hurt.
Months down the road all of these Trump bashers will be remembered for how they placed their political agendas ahead of the nations safety. I will do my part to vote them all out. God bless our great President and his personal mission to make and keep America great!
PS...its so great to see the evil democratic party implode. Biden is so history and no one needs any help to defeat him. Its beautiful.
More drivel from dumb black women. I lose brain cells when I listen to any liberal black women. They are a new level stupid below white liberals.
