Axios has a report out this morning detailing a significant confrontation that apparently took place on Sunday between Peter Navarro and Dr. Anthony Fauci during the meeting of the Coronavirus Task Force. The subject of the argument detailed in the report was hydroxychloroquine and Fauci’s ongoing campaign to pretend that this cheap and plentiful medication has not been proven effective against the Wuhan Virus.
Navarro, who, like President Trump is well aware of the large and constantly-growing body of proof that HC is indeed proving to be an almost 100%-effective cure for this viral plague that China unleashed on the world, has obviously grown weary of Fauci’s nonsense, and decided to call him out on it in that meeting.
Excerpt from the Axios report:
Toward the end of the meeting, Hahn began a discussion of the malaria drug hydroxychloroquine, which Trump believes could be a “game-changer” against the coronavirus.
Hahn gave an update about the drug and what he was seeing in different trials and real-world results. Then Navarro got up. He brought over a stack of folders and dropped them on the table. People started passing them around. “And the first words out of his mouth are that the studies that he’s seen, I believe they’re mostly overseas, show ‘clear therapeutic efficacy,'” said a source familiar with the conversation. “Those are the exact words out of his mouth.” Navarro’s comments set off a heated exchange about how the Trump administration and the president ought to talk about the malaria drug, which Fauci and other public health officials stress is unproven to combat COVID-19.
Fauci pushed back against Navarro, saying that there was only anecdotal evidence that hydroxychloroquine works against the coronavirus. Researchers have said studies out of France and China are inadequate because they did not include control groups. Fauci and others have said much more data is needed to prove that hydroxychloroquine is effective against the coronavirus. As part of his role, Navarro has been trying to source hydroxychloroquine from around the world. He’s also been trying to ensure that there are enough domestic production capabilities inside the U.S. Fauci’s mention of anecdotal evidence “just set Peter off,” said one of the sources. Navarro pointed to the pile of folders on the desk, which included printouts of studies on hydroxychloroquine from around the world.
Navarro said to Fauci, “That’s science, not anecdote,” said another of the sources. Navarro started raising his voice, and at one point accused Fauci of objecting to Trump’s travel restrictions, saying, “You were the one who early on objected to the travel restrictions with China,” saying that travel restrictions don’t work. (Navarro was one of the earliest to push the China travel ban.)

Please take the time to follow the link to the Axios report and read it in full. You will be glad you did.
The thing to remember about this joyful incident is that Navarro is a guy who President Trump trusts. Dr. Fauci, due to his own self-serving antics over the past three months, is not.
Meanwhile, we have this happy report from Fox News this morning, detailing how at least 4,000 Wuhan Virus patients in New York are now being successfully treated with HC in combination with zinc and antibiotics:
As many as 4,000 seriously ill coronavirus patients in New York are being treated with the antimalarial drug hydroxychloroquine, state health officials say.
President Trump has touted hydroxychloroquine as a potential life-saver, although there is no widespread scientific evidence to date showing it helps battle COVID-19.
But Gov. Andrew Cuomo last month said health care providers in the state would be using the drug in combination with the antibiotic Zithromax, or azithromycin, for some last-ditch cases, based on potentially promising research.
“Time is of the essence,’’ Albany University Public Health Dean David Holtgrave, who is on the state’s research team, said in a statement.
A state Health Department official said the DOH has shipped doses of hydroxychloroquine to 56 hospitals across New York, distributing enough “to treat 4,000 patients to date.”
Patients have received doses as part of four- or 10-day regimens, officials said.
So, much as Dr. Fauci and the corrupt news media would prefer otherwise, Democrat Governor Andrew Cuomo obviously wants his citizens to have the best chance to survive the contraction of this virus. Good for him.
See? The news isn’t all bad. Sometimes, you just have to look for it.
That is all.
It’s time to gently ease the good doctor out of the picture. He was a necessary prop early on in this whole thing but now the real task is to get the economy working again. However, like most people who spend most of their lives in relative obscurity, once they get their 15 minutes of fame they don’t want to give it up.
There is repeatedable Evidence BOTH that HCQ works,
and that little Fauci is still beholden to Pelosi
and Hillary to make money selling their vaccines.
Fauci = Fooling America Under Coronavirus Imposture
Can you say democrat operative? Sure you can
"Fauci and others have said much more data is needed to prove that hydroxychloroquine is effective against the coronavirus."
On one hand, Fauci understandably doesn’t want a cure to ultimately be worse than the problem, recovered COVID-19 victims later suing PDJT for possibly unforeseen problems with hydroxychloroquine.
On the other hand, Fauci's time-consuming, bureaucratic search for the perfect cure will be at the cost of higher mortality rate.
Insights welcome.
Send "Orange Man Bad" federal and state government Democrats and RINOs home in November!
MAGA, also KAGA! (Keep America Great Always!)
Supporting PDJT with a new patriot Congress and state governemnt leaders that will promise to fully support his already excellent work for MAGA and stopping COVID-19 will effectively give fast-working Trump a third term in office imo.
Fauci: The man without a mask.
The WHO is lead by an Ethiopian Communist
No public health model should ever be accepted until the source code has been released and examined.
Otherwise, the model is just a magic 8 ball.
RELEASE ALL MODELS SOURCE CODE!
I had no idea Pete Townshend was from Ethiopia.
Look for Fauci to resign, followed by a loud screeching noise from the media, followed by attempts at Impeachment 2.0 ( or will it be 3.0?).
Fauci appears to be compromised and is at this point much more of a problem than a solution to this whole thing. He wants years of trials and a shut down economy before declaring a 70 year old drug with a zpack and zinc is safe to use for those who are dying.
He needs to be replaced asap.
Cuomo is doing NYers a grave disservice by trying to mandate that the drug regime is not used earlier in COVID-19 cases.
Hydroxychloroquine/Zinc/Azithromycin are not as effective once the patients need mechanical respiration. At the NY hospitals, as described by Dr Green from Lenox Hill, the patients are started on H/Z/A as soon as their 15 minute COVID-19 results come back positive. That is what needs to be done not wait until the patients are at death’s door so you can discredit the drug regime.
Well done.
Doctors can disagree about a drugs efficacy, I personally would not take it but it should be OTC at least temporarily, only because it has been shown to be safe.
bump for later
Who elected Fauci president?
Let irascible economists run medical protocols! DUH! So obvious!
Exactly how do you expect to pay for the close to $6 Trillion that is being spent in various coronavirus related stimuli pus even more Trllions to keep the country going when half the population is stuck at home and out of a job?
Paul says ‘where sin abounds grace abounds even more’
What a slimy creep.
Guess we did get fooled, again.
