President Donald Trump on Monday told reporters he's been taking hydroxychloroquine, the anti-malaria drug he's touted as a possible "game changer" treatment for COVID-19.

He said he asked the White House doctor if he could take the unproven treatment despite having no symptoms, adding he's been taking a pill a day for about a week and a half.

"I'm still fine," he said, referring to possible dangerous side effects.

“It was not possible to quarantine everyone who had come into contact with the healthcare worker,” Chiusolo said. So, they treated 211 healthcare professionals and patients with hydroxychloroquine. After 10 days, nobody tested positive for the coronavirus.

Furthermore, Chiusolo told the Post, the Italian Society of Rheumatology interviewed 1,200 rheumatologists throughout Italy to collect statistics on contagions. Out of an audience of 65,000 chronic lupus and rheumatoid arthritis patients who systematically take hydroxychloroquine, only 20 patients tested positive for the virus.

“Nobody died, nobody is in intensive care, according to the data collected so far,” Chiusolo said.

I swear if we didn’t have anti Trump news, we’d have no news at all.

If this drug is so dangerous, where are the millions of dead bodies from its widespread usage over decades?

And why is there 10’s of millions of doses available on the market instead of being banned for ANY usage?

Trump should just say it doesn’t work, and watch how fast the media pivots to him denying medical “science” saying it does

Would love to see Chris Cuomo if he took hydroxychloroquine during his bout with COVID-19. Wonder if he admitted taking it would he still have a job at CNN ?

“possible dangerous side effects.”

Good God...aren’t these so-called journalists EVER curious about what they write? Do they know what the side effects are? How often they occur? Dosage? Duration of taking the drug? How to monitor for them? Do they know the incidence of these side effects on the millions of people who take HCQ?

Its so obvious that they want this pandemic to go on until November so that Trump can be driven from office.

They don’t care who or how many get hurt.

At this point, why would anyone consider the fake news to be anything other than America’s enemy.

God!
The fake news media just never stop do they?
There is nothing “unproven” about Hydroxychloroquine. It’s been in use for malaria for close to SEVENTY YEARS and been taken by hundreds of millions of people in Africa and Asia for malaria for decades, including me when I was living in Africa back in the day.
Going by the deranged hyenas in the media, you’d think Hydroxychloroquine was morphine or something.

“Trump should just say it doesn’t work, and watch how fast the media pivots to him denying medical “science” saying it does”

Isn’t that the truth? They would suddenly point to tens of thousands of “anecdotal” stories of success, all the trials underway, the millions of lupus and malaria users who have used it for decades. Suddenly their curiosity and ability to do some “research” would be found again.

They are SICKENING!

Trump is trolling them again. Look for information coming out soon from one of the ongoing studies of the drug. He dangled the bait in front of them and they took it hook line and sinker. LOL.
