Naturally, the hacks at Politico managed to find an ex-Obama official who slammed the FDAs move:
I would like to see who at FDAs [Medical Countermeasures Initiative] signed off on this EUA despite the total lack of scientific evidence that chloroquine/hydroxychloroquine are beneficial in the treatment of COVID-19, tweeted Luciana Borio, who served as FDAs acting chief scientist between 2015 and 2017. EUA is supposed to be issued when the evidence indicates that benefits outweigh the risks.
So, lets review:
We are in the middle of a global pandemic; We are fighting a novel coronavirus that, up to three weeks ago, had no known cure and no vaccine; We have multiple peer-reviewed scientific studies conducted by renowned scientists from multiple countries, as well as strong anecdotal evidence of this drugs incredible, near-100% effectiveness in fighting this virus; And, because President Trump has said good things about this drug during his daily press briefings, the entirety of the Democrat/media propaganda complex mounts a demented and coordinated strategy to demonize the one known cure for the virus. Yes, its depraved. Yes, it is demented. Yes, it is despicable, diabolical and disreputable and disgraceful and vile.
But hey, this is Democrat politicians and the corrupt media were talking about here. You expected something else?
The drug is DANGEROUS! If successfully used it will lessen the chances of kickng DJT out of office.
