“Lost” star Daniel Dae Kim believes the anti-malarial drug touted by President Trump was the “secret weapon” in his recovery from the coronavirus.

The 51-year-old actor praised hydroxychloroquine as being “critical” in the treatment that has left him now “practically back to normal” just days after confirming he had been infected.

“Yes, this is the drug that the President mentioned the other day,” Kim said in an Instagram video Saturday, noting that Dr. Anthony Fauci had cautioned that supposed success stories were “only based on personal accounts.”

Wotta peacock.

I’m sure he’s not even aware that if Trump hasn’t pushed the issue he might have never received hydroxychloroquine because it’s still not tested nor approved by the FDA.

Thanks Trump.

because it’s still not tested nor approved by the FDA.

The drug has been around for 70 years and is approved for usage, just not for China virus.

I thought it had been approved by the FDA for coronaviruses in general years ago, just not specifically for COVID-19.

That Nazi Trump was the one who forced the doctors to give sick people this terrible medicine!

[nickcarraway]

He didn’t say anything bad about Trump, did he?

[Skywise]

You’ll note he didn’t say anything about Trump at all.

[OpusatFR]

I’m going heavy on the gin and tonic.

[dfwgator]

He’s pushing false hopes!

i have no qualification whatsoever to comment or speculate, but i don’t understand why more people aren’t doing the very low preventative dose of this? You only have to take one pill a week?

I’d think they’d at least get doctors and nurses to take it

[Skywise]

Uh huh - I don’t see “Trump”

Compare that to his tweets attacking Trump as racist for calling it the Chinese Virus last week.

[nickcarraway]

Because they can’t get it?

[nickcarraway]

“Yes, this is the drug that the President mentioned the other day,”

Which is giving Trump some credit, even if he wasn't more explicit about it.

Which president do you think he was referring to when he said “this is the drug the president mentioned”?

[Mount Athos]

Isn’t it a widely available generic? I guess there’s only so many doses around.

[nickcarraway]

I’m guessing two months ago you could buy it.

[ncalburt]

who

the guy who just recovered from the bioweapon virus with this cocktail .
I think he is a DR too .

[E. Pluribus Unum]

You misspelled Communist Chinese Party Virus. ;-P

[Orosius]

I call it the Commie Rat Virus because they’re the ones who gave it to the world. We owe them some major payback for this.
