A fight broke out in the White House Situation Room over the weekend between Dr. Anthony Fauci and another member of President Trump’s coronavirus task force, with the exchange getting so intense that Vice President Mike Pence and others were left trying to calm down the country’s trade czar, according to a report.
The argument, which Axios reports took place Saturday afternoon, ensued when FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn brought up the topic of hydroxychloroquine, the malaria drug Trump believes could help fight the virus.
White House trade adviser Peter Navarro then stood up and distributed reading materials on what he argued was the “clear therapeutic efficacy” of the potential COVID-19 drug.
Navarro’s comments, according to the outlet, led to a heated debate about how the White House should talk about the malaria treatment, with Fauci stressing that there was only anecdotal evidence that the medicine could combat coronavirus.
Fauci’s comment about anecdotal evidence “just set Peter off,” a source told Axios.
Navarro pointed to the handouts, which reportedly included printouts of studies on hydroxychloroquine from around the world, and said to Fauci, “That’s science, not anecdote.”

Fauci is no doubt an extreme liberal. Hopefully his 200,000 deaths prediction is waaaay off.
Fauci is past his “sell by” date.

If true, good. Someone needs to be confrontational with the sanctimonious “doctor”.
Fauci’s next job will be with the WHO.
I do like the cut of Navarro’s jib
I don’t believe there is a leak, this is probably made up of whole cloth by the usual suspects.
God bless Peter Navarro.
MSM will run with it.
Pray for Navarro’s success!
No doubt, the next President or Chairman, he appears to be ready to defend China and represent WHO as a Chinese mouthpiece.
Probably fake news. This was denied on Fox this morning.
Navarro is a lion compared to Dr. Falsie.
Fauci is nothing but an unelected deep state plutocrat. Not to be trusted.
He is essentially a liberal fascist who will leave no stone unturned to impose his ideas of scientific utopia on America,not caring at all about the thousands of lives that could be saved.
Esentially Fauci is a totalitarian. All of Fauci’s values and recommendations have a common point: The reduction of constitutionally guaranteed freedoms.
in China Dr. Fauci is known as Dr., Fuck-shi. The good doctor would love Red China, its completely run by “science.”
Let’s face it Fauci is part of the establishment and since his team is not running the tests they do not count. He needs to get out of the box. Sure Teump was the one who got the private industry involved. Fauci would only want the government to handle it.
“Fauci is no doubt an extreme liberal.”
Sure sounds like it. Highly educated, high position, A-list parties.
No middle to right person “loves” Hillary.
Agreed. I do not trust anonymous sources and made-up stories.
No matter who is right or wrong (I happen to thin’ the drug shows promise), this type of confrontation and disagreement is actually a positive. Everyone having one opinion will lead to terrible outcomes.
